you don't find any RB25's with 2510's cause they are about the size of the stock turbo that comes with the rb25.

why would you spend so many dollars to get no power increase or maybe 10 rwkw increase?

If it is the turbo I am thinking of it wasnt very expensive at all (Second hand). So I guess he wanted it as he put more boost through it (Being steel wheel) and make 200rwkw easily rather than being on the edge of busting his stocker..I dunno, I see it pretty much as a stocker with steel wheels so it will last longer with more than 12 pound boost!

I know somone who has made 205rwkw on one on a r33 quite comfortably so you should get to 210 with the added bounus (Over stock)of not having to worry about your exhaust wheel falling off!

Well i think the 2510 would be better than a stock R33 turbo. I had the 2530 which by visual and measurements, it was only slightly bigger than stock, say 2/3 mm. Performance was substantially better though. Im sure running some pretty good boost, the 2510 would be better than a stocky. But you'll need a power FC , cooler and basic mods to get the best from it.

As far as oil and water lines, cost me about $100-$150 to do it. Take your turbo into hose shop and fittings and tell them what you want, study the turbo first.

Good Luck

thanks for your in put robo i have all the other mods the only thing i dont have done is the injectors so i guess i will see how i go so you just think take both turbos down to a hose shop and just get them to make up some hose like the orginal hoses to fit on the 2510?

Would it be as responsive as the stock turbo? Or more responsive?

Would it have the same top end as the stocky or less?

It went for a pretty cheap price - was considering it myself.

Wouldn't you make close to 200rwkw at 5000rpm on the stocker?

It's good if you dont have to worry about the turbine wheel going for a wander to look for the cat..

you definatly won't need injectors with that turbo, it will run out of puff up top, but will be very responsive :O

thats good to know least i aint speading more money my goal was over 200rwkw so if i make over that i will be happy with what i have spent

I don't know what you paid for it, but if i had a Gtst i'd stick a HKS 25/35 on with PFC, good tune, and make 230rwkw ish... still very responsive. but 25/35 would of been more expensive than the 25/10. Good Luck.

robo when you had the 2530 on what type of power were you making and what 1/4 mile times were you running ?

and have you fitted any of the turbos your self cause i was gonna give it ago untill someone said i will have trouble with the oil and water lines

1/4 times in my signature, [email protected] with the 2530 running around 19psi.

I fitted it all myself, its not too hard, Have you got the HKS neck off the turbo?

    • Well, I'm tired. I'm tired because about 4PM yesterday, before today's appointment someone immediately bought my bumper. They couldn't get it any other day as they're on the way back to NSW. So I had to do that big GTR conversion I had been planning. Unfortunately, the information on SAU about what you need and how this is done is incomplete. So what should be a simple bolt on affair, yeah, it's not. Did you know if you use all GTR items the bonnet won't close? This little manuever sent me into about 1am the night before trying to dodge a way to get it closed. I will have to revisit this in the next few days  - or maybe not, I may let a body shop figure it out. It all needs to come up and my motivation to pull the bumper off is low. It also seems to hit things in the bay where the GTT bonnet didn't. Yes I used 100% new OEM GTR items. Today, I had the joy of driving to the dyno looking like this: Given I had roughed in the fuel and given sensible but pretty conservative timing, I didn't really bet on having the car drive out any real difference than when it drove in. Sadly due to a miscommunication and laptop fun and games (and almost bricking the dongle, prayers and firmware updates indeed), I ended up using HP Tuner credits to licence the car that was already licenced. So in the end my laptop was used. It turns out my butt dyno is still well calibrated after all this time. The 325kw was on 74% Ethanol, the 313kw line was on 98. The other line is the 'before' line which was 281kw. While the numbers are pretty low, they're pretty in line with what you'd expect. Even if US dynos bump the whole result up about 50KW, gaining 10-15% is similar gains.  The curve of the cam is pretty much spot on with what was discussed as well. All this said, it still feels bad to not see the number you secretly want to see. Even if the car drove great beforehand, and I knew pretty confidently the car would drive out much the same way it drove in due to the nature of a wellish dialled in LS1 not gaining much if anything at all from being tuned from where it was. As expected, the car isn't particularly sensitive to running it at anywhere between 12.0 and 13.0 - And the initial timing at 20deg and 12.0 made 308KW. So 3 degrees of timing, and leaning it out to 12.7 for 5kw, anything above stopped giving any benefit until E85 (which has an additional 2 deg as before). Car itself behaved entirely fine. I found out that 100C = 1.15V! IAT at about 7pm was 19C. I might mess with the bonnet mounting.. but given the REO NEEDS TO BE CHOPPED TO FIT A GTR BAR this is possibly something I may leave gathering (more) dust until it returns to paint jail.
    • It sounds farrrrrrr too cold at your place Duncan... Here I was thinking our 10 degrees overnight is getting cold...
