Cams, racefuel, nitrous and 600psi should do it.

Funny you say this. I spoke to another mate who has a dyno dynamics dyno, and he said you know how my dyno reads high, i said yeah, the barometer was out. He said everytime they checked the dyno for accurateness, they never checked the air temp. So everytime he ran the dyno it corrected itself to read in the snow, hence reading high numbers. Weird but true.

What about a GT-RS..same boost response as a 2530 with almost the same power potential as a 2540 (10kw less on the test car)

absolutely incorrect. the GTRS has nowhere near the same response as a gt2530, there are plenty of dyno charts that are floating around on the silvia forums to show that it is quite laggier then the 2530.

your statement is something everyone was running around claiming when the GTRS first came out, on sr's without cams the turbo wont even make as much power as a 2530 and will be laggier as well

for a 2L i recommend the 2530, for 2.5rb 2530 is good. you will only get 10-20rwkw more with the 2535 over the 2530 in top end, but you sacrifice down low, and for an already laggy rb20, i would rather response then 10rwkw extra up top

Yes that sounds tru,i have a GT2535 and would like some more pulling power down low.It hits hard at 4000rpm and i love it but yer midrange is where id like more.

Funny you say this, but i ran a guy (from the forums) who is only running 14psi, 2535, RB25 producing 244rwkw. We had roll on runs and everytime i beat him quite easily with my 2530,19psi setup. Mid range there was simply no contest even if he jumped me i would still come past.

Ok I cant comment on the response, As it was compared to a 2540 not a 2530, (And it was alot more responsive than the 2540at 4000rpm it was up by 44%)but I have dyno graps that show the GTRS Makes only 10kw @ the wheels less than a 2540 wich would but it quite in front of the 2530 in the topend stakes. The only reason I suggested the GTRS is because this guy seemed interestend in having some more power up high than usual other wise I agree that the 2530 seems unbeatable for mid rage response.

Also in my first post I should have ball park boost response with the 2530 not the same that was me typing with out getting my meaning across clearly.

Is it fair to say that for this range of turbos the GTRS does the best job of melding decent response good mid range and good top end???

Some of you should realise that there are 2 kinds of GT-RS's. The ones that go on the SR's are slightly smaller than the ones that go on the RB25's (and RB20 if someone were to do that).

A GT-RS on an RB20 would be way too laggy IMO.

the gtr twin gt-rs's are smaller than the rb25 gt-rs turbo much like the 2530's for the gtr in twin form are smaller than rb25 single hks2530, pretty mcuh as bob said, im not sure if the sr20 and twin gt-rs are same size though

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      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.
