oh forgot to mention im on a budget here. Im dreaming if i think someone would swap a 2530 for mine aren't i?

Well its not "that" much more expensive than a hi-flow ($1700) or any other Garrett BB off shelf

second hand hks gt2530 can be had for $1000 to $1500

edit:

this one is brand new (O/H) 1.4k plus shipping so around 1.8k to your door

second hand ones are much cheaper

Michael thats actually a HKS GT2535 .

If you can find a cheap dead GT2530 (RB type) or a spare exhaust housing thats all it takes to bolt a GT2860RS on an RB six . GT2860RS/GT2530 are very similar compressor wise with the RS being the more modern of the two , both use the same identical turbine .

I'm with Nismoid , off the shelf a GT2530 is difficult to beat on a 2L six .

Cheers A .

same same, i posted the wrong link sorry lol

Try a MR Turbo Australia / Billet Turbochargers dealer.

There are many options available from bolt on ball bearing high flows to full Billet Turbochargers up grades.

Whats with the advertisement and no technical advice.

This is a technical thread after all :P

    • I have one and it was at ~43.5PSI.

    • I'm running a Haltech Platinum Pro with the stock map for the RB20DET + tweaks for my build. When I started it this morning, the IAT was at 32F/0C (Outside temp was ~42F) and the AFRs went off the scale for my AEM gauge. I let it run for ~30 seconds then turned it off. I then did a smoke test, by hooking into a vacuum line directly behind the throttle body, and confirmed there was no leaks ( i let the smoke tester run for ~5 minutes / confirmed it was generating smoke before hand ). I then started the car again, after fixing a power steering leak.... and it seemed to be happy for ~30 seconds (was at ~11/12), but then seemingly shot back up to ~18 again. I then let the car run for a few minutes, thinking this was just cold start related, but the AFRs never came back down. I didn't let the car fully warm up, so maybe this makes sense, but I'm not sure what to do? The AFRs, when I last ran it, were normal, but because of personal reasons I haven't been able to break in the car. It was rebuilt last year.
