If you get something like the hks kit youwould get the whole lot to convert right down to bolts and nuts and hoseclaps, what wereyou lokkingat the kit or just the turbo? al tho the turbo should be a direct replacement but i carn remember if they use braided oil and waterlines or keepstock ones.

But a 2530 is not reallyany bigger than stock a 2540 would be a nice

alternative ,what sort of power are you chassing.

Cheers:)

ive updated to a 2530 on my 33.. i got a complete kit from HKS, along with the turbo i got water/oil flex lines, washers, bolts, nuts, hoses, clamps etc. the turbo is bolt on and quiet easy to install.. the only problem i had was a water hose behind the engine which i couldnt get to, so i had to take off my left tapper cover to reach it..

even though the 2530 isnt much bigger then the stock turbo, ive noticed a quicker on boost response, and able to boost it over 16psi nicely.. with a fuel pump, ecu, injectors and the rest of the supporting intake mods, you could push them to 260rwkw+.

260rwkw i doubt it, however you will notice alot more midrange power

well im on 232rwkw atm, thats with a stocker fuel pump and injectors and SAFC II.. the reason i couldnt push it anymore was cause of my fuel pump maxing out.. im hoping for another 20-30rwkw with a fuel pump, injectors and PFC..

Im not going to get into any dyno fights but i think your dyno is reading high. I reached my limit around the 200rwkw with the fuel pump. SAFC 2 is only a bandaid fix, you need a PFC for a nice smooth graph line, i tried the SAFC, was nice until i changed turbos and bigger boost. You will also need a Z32 AFM and Fuel Regulator. I was reaching nearly max with the 2530. Anyway , should be good for a mid 12 1/4.

lol.. well im not gonna get into a dyno war neither dude, but i never said i got that figure just with SAFC II, as i have other supporting mods.. and Autotech in fyshwick, ACT is a preferred dyno shop, i doubt there dynos would be off as it gets quiet a lot of satisfied customers..

also this business with maxing out the fuel pump at 200rwkw, this may happen with the stock ECU and no tune of the AFRs, but mine is reducing 11% fuel @ 6000rpm, keeping the fuel pump from maxing out..

the stock AFM is a problem ive noticed, as i cant boost it over 16psi..

I dare say you will struggle to make anymore then you have, but if you do ill be impressed! I had a 2530Kai which only made about 212rwkw @ 1.2bar. I was running Z32 AFM, Nismo fuel pump, splitfire coil packs, Nismo 555cc injectors, pfc etc etc. I even dropped the exhaust which only made a few kw more.

I've driven James' RB25 Cefiro which has the 2835 Pro-S on it - all I can say is it tears balls. It's not very laggy, but the mid range and top end is massive. MKDR33 - Either your guy's dyno figures are bullshit, or it's your hectic chrome wheels adding that extra 30kw, because I doubt your car is putting out that much power in reality, especially with a stock fuel pump.

Go a HKS GT2835 pro s, upto 300 with supporting mods.

definitely the turbo of choice for a RB25 ;)

RedDrifter Posted Today, 06:23 AM

The HKS GTR-S is suppossed to be a very good setup.

Interloper has had alot of success with a new one on his R32 RB20 GTS-4. Suppossed to be good for over 250rwkws with supporting mods etc.

hey i get a mention :)

but yeah, for the RB20 the GTRS is the best choice, i'm certainly happy with mine :)

i was looking to make around 260rwkw i wan a turbo with good midrange thats y i was looking at a turbo that size so what would be the best turbo kit to go for that would give the best midrange i was going to just by the turbo i thought it would bolt straight up, so its better to just buy the kit?

2835 Pro S is what you want. Awesome turbo, best all round for the RB25 imo, and I've seen both side by side and the difference on the same car. BIIIIIIG difference in power and not much lag either.

not sure dude, maybe i will get it dynoed at a different place or maybe its cuz im in canberra and we are 600m above sea level and the BP levels are different to other places? who knows.. my whole exhaust system is changed aswell, from the head (exhaust manifold) to the cat back..

i got no reason to post bullshit on here.. its a surprising result for me too.. in all honesty, i havnt checked to see if the fuel pump is stock, ive had the car for over a year now and dont know if it has an aftermaket fuel pump or not, never have checked, as for the AFM, i know its stock.. here are my dyno results with stock turbo and 2530kai..

and as for the chrome wheel joke, f*k i killed myself laughing..

p.s. both dynos are done with stock 17" rims..

Might be a good idea to get it dynoed at a different place but if your happy it shouldnt make a difference. When I had my 2530Kai I used stock manifold but then again I had everything else and my exhaust had absolutely no restrictions.

agreed slither.. ive been refered to Pete, and i get all my dyno tuning done with him.. quality service for your money.. but some ppl on here (d0p3y) are doubting it, which is quite sad..

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah 路 Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline 路 Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz 路 Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
