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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
