cheers for the input all. i spoke to someone who sells garret turbo's and they recomended a gt3540R.

whats everyone else's opinion on that?

ta. James.

Does this guys name satrt with T and his company start with R?

If so thats what he recomemded to me as well.

arnt adaptors a little dodgy?, and with and adaptor do you think it will still bolt up to standard postion?

i was asking gcg about there highflows and response, they were telling me they reckon there highflow will spool up just as fast as stock, and be just as responsive, does that compute?, i would have thought with bigger wheels etc, it would be laggier?

looking on nengun, i see HKS GT Sports Turbine Kit, which is a 2530KAI

Then they also do a 2530KAI kit aswell, not sure the difference, did a bit of searching and cant find much, but does anyone no the differences of the KAI model compared to a normal 2530, cheers

The kai is good for about 215rwkw on an rb25 with near stock response. The car in question is pretty bloody quick, dont let the low peak power fool you.

I haven't been able to find specs on the turbo either, HKS only have specs for the old one on the web site.

Whatever hks did to it they killed the top end as on the same dyno with the same tuner an sr with old 2530 made about 225 the day after the rb25 was tuned

this blokes name started with M and the companys name started with G.....

i think he A: hasnt had any experience with turboes on rb20's before

or B: was just trying to make me spend more cash... wankers....

    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
    • STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
