Just picked up my car from Racepace on Staurday with the addition on a HKS 2535... Its an R33 GTST S1.5.

I have to say i am wrapped with how the car has turned out it goes so much harder than it used to and the power delivery is smoother than ever!

Big thanks to Ben and i recommend anyone else to send their car to him!

If anyone is looking for a turbo upgrade, the 2535 is amazing! Not much more lag but it just pulls and pulls the harder you push it the harder it goes! The power is so smooth that traction is not a problem at all....... first gear is a little useless above 4500rpm but second gear is great and that is with the crap Falken 326 265/35/18...

The best thing about the car is that it looks stock standard! You cant even see the turbo under the heat shield...

Big thanks to Ben and ill be back very soon for more work!

Turbo Back Exhaust

12psi

Nismo Fuel Pump

211rwkw....

I am getting an new catback exhaust so i can run more boost and was told to expect in the range of 240 - 250 rwkw...

I am more than happy as it is now but the extra 30 odd kw will be great!

Ben said it drives a lot better than the dyno shows... for now i am very happy with it!

I guess that would have been mine!

I forgot to mention, Nismo Fuel Pump as well but still running the stock injectors and AFM...

I was more than happy to upgrade the Injectors but Ben told me not to bother... They only start maxing out at redline, which my car never really sees...

I have been getting used to the way the car drives so to be honest I havent noticed when it hits 12psi and it wasnt on the dyno readout so ill have to take her for another spin an let you know..

Standard manifold, just looks like a 100% factory engine bay...

After a goo thrashing over the weekend, i can tell you it loves to drink if you push it and the power delivery is so smooth that sometimes it really doesnt feel like it is going hard till you realise who fast you are going...

I have been searching high and low for a good cat back system but have found it is very limited... anyone got any suggestions? I have tried hypertech but thats it so far... and i wasnt that keen on spending another $1200 on a catback..

I have a Blitz Spec R at the moment whcih will be for sale if anyone is interested....

Let me also say that unless your car is standard, the Falken 326's are useless!!

211 kw is not so bad but why not more?

I got 208 on Rajabs low reading dyno at 12 psi thats with a stock CAT and a stock dump pipe and a Unknown remapped ecu.

I know a guy that has a SII R33 GT2535 with 236 rwkw and a tuned PFC. He ran it at the drags with mickey thompson slicks and got 12.7 but was getting 109-110 mph. Mine was getting 111 mph at lower boost, minus computer and exhaust sections.

Is it worth paying all the $$$ for the HKS turbo? I certainly USED To think so, ive had a GT2530 on a SR20DET before, but now Im beginning to question if the outlay of money for these ballbearing turbos is worth it.

Not picking at anything, but its something to think about.

Ben Dyno is LOW reading too. Is it worth getting HKS turbo or local ones? Look at the smile on Silva33 face :).

Don't try to squeeze too much boost because it'll be either your turbo and engine wil go Bang.

I used to have a 33 series 1.5 too, stock turbo, always run 14psi for Three years and nothing ever happened.

hmmmm interesting... im going to be building up something with a 2540, fmic, afm, pfc, bigger injectors, fuel pump and cams so it will be interesting to see how much power i get... as i want it reliable i will only be running lowish boost (12psi - 1bar max) and the power ur getting is about all i want.

It didnt make anymore power with the silencer in the exhaust and without the silencer you can hear me comming from a block away, thats why im looking for a new quiet catback exhaust...

I think the turbo is worth it, when you consider how responsive they are and how smooth the power delivery is i dont think you can go wrong... and the fact that the car still looks standard is a huge bonus...

As far as the motor going 'bang' ill leave that up to ben.. I dont expect anything more than the turbo and motor will safely handle... I am more than happy with the performance at 211rwkw, so anything above that will be a bonus!!!

For normal day to day driving the only other turbo i considered was a VG30 hybrid... I ended up going for the HKS because of the reliability of the results....

so the 2535 is low mount obviously...

does anyone know if the 2540 is a low mount turbo?

lol... narkehh! it can be a 'low mount turbo' if it's mounted on a low-mount manifold you goose. Same goes for a high mount manifold. The manifold determines your turbo mounting position, not the turbo itself! provided you have the space required of course..

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
