f*k this really

Relax bro.

First important point is that 500rwhp has been done many times on 2530's, so lets suppose there is a non-turbo related problem with your setup. If you change to a high mount now, you will not address whatever that problem is. Sensible steps would be; try another tuner (since your tuner has stated that the 2530's wont do 500), drop the exhaust (don't assume - verify).

Re: fuel flow, just keep an eye on injector duty, if its gets too high that means you have a fuel flow issue, as they are large enough for the 2530s.

i tried to read the gtx thread and omfg all it is in 50 f**kin pages is people spewing rubbish.

I found 1 guy who had posted up sheets of his old and new turbo.

This site used to be very helpfull but now all you get is people who tell you what not to do with short answers that help no one.Every one seems to know best but no one posts up any proof.

I come here to find out the best set up for my car to make the sorta power im looking for with some response.

I dont want to rebuild the 25/30 and try again to fail again on pump fuel,I want to change to a single but i get mixed msg from every one.Skylines australia used to be such a good comunity with people who were only too happy to help but now you get alot of people who mouth off and are stuck up assholes.

f*k this really

Trial and error with some setups. Research on more than one site. Find what u like and give it a go.

Not everyone is the same. Different people have different opinions, especially when it comes to what is considered laggy.

In regards to the gtx series, i would take status's advice. He has tuned alot of cars with different setups and would know whether or not these are any good. He stated they are not any more responsive and require big boost to come to life.

dont get me wrong i love the 2530s guys i love them.

I just want more out of them on pump

they start to spool at 3000 rpm and out of the gate they are just an awsome setup.

i think il give the gtx a miss too many people complain about them not doing what they are ment too.Id love to find some one who has a gtx 35r with dyno sheets on pump but no one seems to have done enuff testing.

As for my turner he is very good.

He seems to think my acuators are not strong enuff and they are closing on full boost.

Maybe thats all it is.

I know they fall over around 6700 and onwards.

Still yet to put the cams in as they are comming from japan.

They are odd tho

264 10.01 and i think they are 260 10.08 or 264 10.08 lift

stage 2 hks

Whos the best to see about rebuilding my hks 25/30s

my exaust should be good enuff its

twin 3.5 inch exaust

Id love to stay with the twins to be honest but i would really hate to have them rebuilt and have a massive fail on hp topping out around the 450-470 on a dynapac hub dyno.;............

Lets put it this way, those GT2530s will not be the cause you are topping out at that power - they go way past that power level on Dynapacks with no issue at all. There could be a very good chance that instead of rebuilding them, you put on a completely different turbo setup and get very similar results due to the fact it won't be the turbos causing it... unless you turn out to not actually have GT2530s of course.

Pull your head in and stop being so rude.

You're getting free advice for your problem. Be grateful.

What caused you to get those cams and is your head totally stock and not machined in any way?

As for my turner he is very good.

To me, you seem a bit closed minded, and not really willing to give the ideas in this thread full consideration. IMO you should re-assess the beliefs you hold now. Let's just say "he may be very good".

He seems to think my acuators are not strong enuff and they are closing on full boost.

You mean opening on full boost :) But then, why are you talking about a turbo upgrade if you have an actuator problem? At the moment you have a boost control issue, that is probably due to weak actuators, but you have yet to verify that.

It certainly sounds good. But for sake of a little work why not verify that?

You need to slow down and troubleshoot this in a methodical manner. And to do that, you'll need to relax first :)

Good luck

well without making it to complicated,

here is a very well proven setup that will get you the results.

260 poncams, in cam +3 to 4 degrees advanced, ex cam -4 to 6degrees retarged. valve springs,port matched ex manifolds and 2530's on 24-26psi will have it in the bag. (ecu injectors fuel pump stock dumps and a good exhaust)

thank you every one for your help.

Turns out it may not be the turbos looks like comp is down in 6 looks like my old stock motor has seen its day.

Will find out if the turbos are all good but at this stage according to my mechanic he says the turbos are proberly fine.

But every one was most helpfull.

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
