Just to let you know its very suitable for an rb20, not too laggy and happy to support up to 300rwhp (on around 1bar?) with a nice phat torque curve. So very suitable for drift too.. its a pretty awsome turbo! Obviously u need supporting mods though

Ill put my hand up to say how good these turbos are... I will also add apart from a few little mods to exhaust and piping this is a fun upgrade... This is a real father/son mod and the results are sure to put a smile on your face...

Dont forget 24psi is easily done by one of these turbos but your motor wont handle it....

I found out the hard way many skylines ago...

But yeah bang for buck this turbo is great. I will also say 1500 bucks is cheap too...

Free Bump

Some were made with t2 flanges so they could be bolted straight onto sr20/ca18 engines and some t3 flanges so they cud go onto rb20/25 engines! If u find one thats been on a sr20 u can get an adapter plate to make it a t3 flange, but i heard some problems plus its easier if its goes straight on...

Sorry Guys for not replying, I have been very busy with work during the V8 supercars this weekend.

I will take it off Monday and email the pics asap.

If you want pics give me your email address, and i will forward them monday night.

Q1 =Internal gate

Q2 =(Power) approx 300rwph (1 Bar)

Q3 =(Drift) I would say so, They are very responsive and wont give up untill redline

Q4 =(Adelaide) Can be posted/shipped, can find out price. I would preffer Perth/WA

Q5 =(Other mods) Maybe the 90 deg bend off the turbo to intercooler piping, I have a genuine HKS 90 deg bend.

Q6 =(Direct Bolt on) Yes, may need to play around with some rubber hoses but thats about it, I will also supply the wastegate actuator. The Dump pipe will bolt up, T3 flange so it will bolt upto the original exhaust manifold

Q7 =(T2/T3 Flange) Most were T2 flange for the SR20 because the SR20 is very common, T3 flange is harder to get, This is a genine HKS T3 flanged GT2530

Micheal, I will email the pics asap.

Colin Thanks for the free Bump.

This is a good opportunity to purchase a great turbo (especialy for RB20) for a good price, I hade to wait 3 months to find one!!!!

This is not just the Garret 2530 but a HKS GT2530!!!

Can call me 0412 475 321 ASHLY

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
