a mate has got a new t04e for sale what kw would u see with that

Don't even bother wasting your time with such an old school turbo.

As said by others, depending on what power you exactly want you have a few choices for the max "safe" power out of a stock internal RB25. IMO opinion there are three great commonly available turbo's to choose from for the sort of thing you seem to want. GTRS, 2835, 3037 Obviously there are others like APEXI, TRUST etc but are a bit hard to find through a shop or second hand. But anything equivalent to these is what you want.

Anything smaller and your not really "pushing" the motor for max power and anything bigger is starting to get a bit laggy for power levels that may hurt the motor. All a bit of a gamble really :)

what would be best one out of the 3

price and power

just price

just power

a gt2871r is the turbo that hks use to make the GT-RS

same same, but hks modify the housing for better spool, T3 flange'ness and bolt-on oil + water lines

a gt2871r is the turbo that hks use to make the GT-RS

same same, but hks modify the housing for better spool, T3 flange'ness and bolt-on oil + water lines

so its only oil cooled

what would a good second hand gt2871r be worth

aslo the hsk gt-rs what would be a good price for each

The GT-RS is oil and water cooled.

I bought my GT-RS off of nengun a couple of years ago for $2500 delivered. Obviously the 2835 and 3037 were dearer in HKS. However the Garrett equivalents are a lot more cheaper. What do you want? The most power you can get safely? Then go the 3037. Or do you want the most responsive with still good power? Then go the GT-RS. If you want something inbetween go the 2835, simple as that ;)

See what one you can get for a good price new or second hand.

i can get a hsk 2535 with dump pipe and custom oil and water lines for 1400

or a gtrs for 1000

what is a better turbo what do u think of prices

250kw out of a 2535? I don't think so. My mates just makes 230rwkw on a RB25.

The 2535 is too small as an "upgrade turbo" on a RB25 and it aint worth the hassell to do all the installation and other mods required (fuel system etc) when your just going to want to want more power a couple of weeks later.

He said he wants the max power out of a stock motor RB25, which i take as anywhere between 260-300ish kw. The 2535 is not going to make those goals no matter what.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
