fair few people are running them on their RB30s with good results (have a browse of the RB30 dyno thread if you want), so it shouldnt be too small

might be a touch laggier on a 2.5 than on the 3.0l. but it should make 280rwkw fairly easily.

So i wouldnt worry about it being to small, but you might find something that would make 280rwkw and be more responsive (GT30R).

but if its at a good price how can you resist?

I haven't heard of anyone running a .63 housing on an RB30 I reckon that would be choking it up a bit

Lots of people run the .82 or 1.06 housing in the RB30's though I run 1.06

I think the .82 is the perfect housing for a 25, a friend of mine runs one on a stock 25 with 410hp and is a nice balance between lag/response and the same turbo on Noel (Fineline's) car is cracking over 500hp.

If your thinking more along the lines of drift the .63 would probably be quite good as its going to come quicker than the larger housings but at the end of the day there is better turbos out there for your application

GT30 frame is probably what you should be looking into but as Kranker said if the price is good chuck it on, should chirp second :)

I fitted one to an rb26, IMO the exhaust housing chokes it a bit, the car made 320rwkw at 16 psi. a better setup would be a gt3076 with either a .63 or .86 housing.

.82a/r, the only "GT3076Rs" with a .86 are the horrid T25 flanged ones with a trimmed turbine. Yuck.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
