I drove a RB25DET the other day.

A Hell of a difference with how quickly the turbo spools.

It felt like as soon as the motor saw just the slightest amount of boost it wanted to start accelerating where as my RB20 doesn't really feel any difference from 0psi to 5psi.

Boost builds a lot quicker in the RB25DET also.

BUT my RB20DET hits boost a lot harder giving the impression that it is accerating harder. i.e I pull out of a corner in second gun it by the time i am almost straight boost kicks and spins up the rears through second, where a the RB25DET goes when you put your foot down giving you the feeling that it is flattening out a little in the mid range.

The R33's feel so damn big also.

Please don't take offence to this, but I usually don't tell anyone where my car is going to be unless I'm going to be there with it.

Ive been caught out...:D

I hadnt worked out how i was going to get the keys off you, but i know my car would look sweet with your wheels:D

The GT2530 in a T3 Bolt pattern will bolt on a GTST, but it is not designed to be for that car. With the GT25 turbine housing it is designed to be a mild upgrade for the SR motors

They are designed to be for a twin set up on a GTR.

This is why it is a very linear set up on your car.

You would need to run a GT2340 which would be somewhere between the 2530 and the t3/4 that GCG do. However closer to the t3/4

hi amosite, which gtst were you refering too? RB20 or 25? i have an R33 and a genuine HKS installation manual for my HKS GT2530 with an application chart on the cover . So yes, to use your terminology, it is "designed" for the gtst, amongst many others, including the SR and GTR as you suggest.

I would not say turbochargers are designed for individual cars, but for hp applications.

the same HKS GT2530 in my friends R32 creates equal havoc on the street.

Turbo Tits, do you have a HKS 2530 on your car? Would be interested to see a dyno printout as I unfortunately havent had the opportunity to go for a ride in a car with RB25/HKS2530.

I have seen a few R33s from japan come out with this combo, must hit pretty hard, pretty early?

Damn, now I know what is wrong with my car. I need to get my hands on 1 2340 turbo.

Ok, the mods on the car for that run were : RB25, HKS 1.2mm gasket, HKS 2530, Trust 600x290x115 intercooler, Greddy intake plenum, GT-R 440cc injectors, HKS dump pipe, 3 inch no cat, 1 resonator exhaust, PowerFC, HKS EVC4.

The problem was the EVC wasn't set up properly. It started off pumping up to 1.4bar then dropping off to .7 by the end.

I would like to have done another power run with the EVC set up properly, but I've since sold the turbo and was too damn lazy to set up the EVC. I think at 1.4 bar boost it should have been ok.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
