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..

HAHA ok cool... well thats ok then... why does every one opt for a high mount all the time then? i know i would prefer it to be less obvious... then again i guess im more secure in my hetrosexuality and penis size then those opting to show as much off as possible :mellow:

there's a few reasons, one is because the high mount is easier to access and work on than the low mount. It also allows you to display your big shiny fcuk off compressor wheel :blink:

The low-mount is stealth. Good for EPA inspections B)

LOL... yes I suppose Denham doesn't feel as secure as others. :lol:

i see... so no real performance gains at all?

cheers... oh and again for the number :blink:

haha poor denham... its not all his fault tho... its all about genetics :)

Dumbass u try low mounting my GT30 in my engine bay and tell you how successful u are.

It is also a waste of time high mounting a 2535 or 2540 as they are small and can still use the stock manifold

:mellow: theyre not small... theyre just small next to ur mammoth turbo lol

nark they are small man when comparing to the stock turbo side by side.

I measured the difference in size between the stock turbo and the 2530 and its like 2mm here and a couple there, bugger all really. The wastegate is much bigger though. The inlet neck is also better designed but overall, very little. I wasnt impressed.

Performance wise, the 2530 eats the stocky for breaky. It has so much midrange you can think you can take anyone on. Top end it falls over because its too small. My max power is at 5600rpm, after that you draw a straight horizontal line.

I would love to try something bigger, but i want a bolt on, something i dont have to piss fart around with dumps and inlets etc.

Robo, What about a HKS 2835.... they seem to make decent power...

Once my car is complete with an exhaust i mean, I would me more than happy to compare yours and mine...

At the moment it doesnt really feel like it is dropping of at all, and the dyno reflects that.. i dont know if it becuase i am only running 12psi, which may be the reason.

I had a garrett gt2835 in my hands last saturday at RUS's workshop on sat for an r32 rb20 when they were trying to bolt it on there as owner was told it was a straight fit turbo :P :P

Lets just say it still aint on there and custom mods to exhaust and intercooler piping needs to be made plus the comp and exhaust covers need to be rotated to match the stock turbo positions, and new oil and water lines are needed. It looked a nice size turbo tho

isnt that what kyrz has? that thing aint small at all lol

but the GT2540s are a lot easier to fit right?

Chris is meant to have a hks 2835 pro s which would be modified to fit the oil/water, cooler/exhaust lines for the rb25 fittings.

The garrett ones you need to modify yourself to fit everything. Its still a tight fit on the stock manifold down there for that turbo.

2540 is piece of piss to install

Thats what i like to hear, a bit of competition

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
