A 2530 isnt all that different to the std turbo. (yes i know it will make a bit more power, and probably come on a little harder then std as well...but in the world of turbo upgrades it is pretty close to what the std turbo will do)

Thats not to say its a bad choice. Just that i would perhaps think twice about throwing $900 cams at en engine using a turbo as small as the 2530.

That said a friends R33 use to use a 2530, it had baby cams and a greddy manifold and it was still the best, and probably one of the quickest street cars i have been in...it was also damn quick as the track the couple fo times he was good enough to swap keys with me.

C'mon Troy!

A 2530 is heaps different to a standard turbo. Just cos you can find someone with a stock turbo making 200rwkw and someone else with a 2530 making 220rwkw doesn't mean that the second guy wont shit all over the first. We've all seen 2530 powered cars beating much higher peak powered cars.

Sorry, i didnt really make myself clear. What i was getting at was perhaps you should think twice about using cams with a 2530.

I would highly rate the 2530 on the RB25. Like i said a friends old engine ran that setup and it was a briliant street car and very quick on the track.

What i was alluding to with regards to the size of it and the size of the std turbo is...ppl have shown that cams on a std turbo engine doesnt really do much at all. So was just cautioning that with a little 320hp turbo slapped onto the side of the RB25, cams may not give you the result you hope for...

As for 2530 on RB25...just make sure you have good tyres and suspension because they come on hard, and do everything you can to open up the exhaust as they tend to dropa few psi up high in the rev range

Ahh, that's a fair enough comment and may be true. I don't know anyone with a 2530 and cams but perhaps the higher boost capabilities would make them worthwhile where they are not with a stock turbo due to the boost restrictions imposed by it's fragility.

If looking at highflows check out some of the threads on them where we discuss the R34 and VG30 exhaust housings and how they are bigger making a highflow one of those better than a highflowed R33 turbo.

But that requires new manifold, an external wastegate...a hell of a lot of attention and expense for insulation of it and protection of all the engine bay ancillaries. Not saying its a bad choise, but a bit overkill for the power he is after .

Are you talking about the KKK or Garrett, cause the GT3071R needs no mods like that.... compariable to the HKS GTRS

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.

      Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.

      Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual

      Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.

      There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
