I think HKS do a internal wastegate 2835 which would be their biggest internal gate turbo and you would be able to get one that bolts on.

There is a GT30 with internal gate but im not sure if it will bolt onto the manifold but it would be half the price of the hks turbo.

Got a set of nismo RR580 turbos to go on. But might look at something a little larger.

680cc injectors, air filters, Do-Luck areo wirvin body kit, did have a HKS twin plate but not currently in, 300km/hr white face dials, HKS EVC boost controller, rev/speed meter.

Lots planned once i get the motec m800 wired in and get rid of the AFM's.

You ?

Just what do you mean by "laggy"? A GT2835 would not be laggy on an RB25 I'm sure of it. I am pretty sure it would be able to make boost before 3000rpm. That's not considered laggy, is it? I used to run a 3037S (much larger that 2835) on my 2L and that produced boost around 3500rpm. So for a 2.5L with a 2835 probably around 3000rpm. Of course it also depends what A/R turbo you're using.

I forgot I even started this thread. Anyway I now have my turbo a HKS 2835 ProS Internal gated T3 0.68 Ex A/R I think ( upside down it reads 0.89. It has 89 or 68 stamped on it. I am told the way to read it it is 0.89. However listed is only 0.68 and 0.87. Will be a while until it is fitted as I am waiting on other parts (injectors, plenum etc.).

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
