GTR Injectors

3" Dump and exaust

650x220x90mm hyperflow tube and fin cooler

The response it great and it lights the bags nicely, any questions ask away,

Also I want to take this chance to thank the following people for their help along the way.

Good to see its all going and on the road Ev. Can't wait to see it going in person... enjoy it

[DoughBoy]

Great that it's finally all together, and more importantly you're happy with it. So, how long before you want more power?

im thinking about goin down the same path as you rb20-calais...xcept i want around 250rwkws is this possible with the turbo and perhaps more boost? i rekcon its awsome to have 17 psi by 3500 good work dude.

well, at first there was a problem with the coil charge the coils overheated and the car wouldnt start, so they turned the chrge down and now at anything over 17psi the car misfires because the coil isnt charged enough. Looks like i need to gut the cat and sort out that problem. However I am happy and I gotta say the 2530 is a great street turbo, any more would be overkill for the street, well in my car anyway.

Yeah should be interesting to see the graphs, where it made what power boost and so on. ATM Im doing the research as to what turbo to get, so any real info is good.

250rwkw not possible with the 2530 (a really big MAYBE if you get REALLY FAT cams and a load of head work but then i suspect you'll lose the trademark response of the turbo!!)

[SLY33]

Evan, hows the e-boost going for you? Have you had a play? brings the boost on pretty hard if you want it to!

[rb20-calais]

well, i once wanted 250rwkw as well. But its just not smart with an RB20.. for reliability and response I feel this is the best turbo to go with. If you want a lot more power you will need to upgrade the engine eventually unless you want to do things twice. Summoner has done this and had awesome reults.

250rwkw + stock RB20 = playing with fire.

Sly,

Its awesome holds 17psi all the way with my 10psi hks actuator, also the boost comes on VERY quick and i make boost below 2000rpm and it LOVES to flutter, I am very happy with it. The place who did my car did it all and the settings are 10psi, 15 and 17 ... god love SP3!!!

Thanks again I am more than happy with it!

Also Doughboy the 2530 and actuator are awesome and running like a dream together, I must say SAU has greatly benefited me in sourcing great parts off great people!

wicked results mate! good to hear you have sorted most of those Wolf probs.

I will have my ecu retuned shortly and will post my results for comparison as all my mods are very similar to yours.

[mist]

loves to flutter as in ur turbo is suffering reversion? that isn't good.... ?

[rb20-calais]

Cool bbenny, I cant wait to see!

I think the reason you made more power is because your af got to 13:1 at the top end and mine were steady 12:1.

Got new BCP6ES plugs and gapped them to 0.8mm and miss is gone but is still missing @ 17psi so i gotta regap to 0.6mm, doh!

with the 2530 (a really big MAYBE if you get REALLY FAT cams and a load of head work but then i suspect you'll lose the trademark response of the turbo!!)

There will be NO loss of response on the turbo with upgraded camshafts. In fact it does the opposite. Thats a fact jack.

for 250rwkw i would think a 2535 MIGHT do it on rb20 a 2540 should do it.

250rwkw + stock RB20 = playing with fire.

:flamer:.... burn baby burn

cool thanks for the info guys much appreciated, *looks at 2530 and 2535 prices*

There will be NO loss of response on the turbo with upgraded camshafts. In fact it does the opposite. Thats a fact jack.

in my post i was more referring to the head porting causing loss of response, as how i understand it (btw i am perfectly willing to accept i am wrong) as you port the heads for higher flow, you increase the size of the ports and therefore decrease air velocity at lower rpms which gives less response until the revs get up a bit more.

Rev i am quite happy to be corrected and i never state anything im not 100% sure of as a "fact", (i will always say i think, or i suspect, or as i understand!). Now dont take this personally as im not trying to get up you, but i find some of your responses a bit annoying, even though im pretty sure your not having a go either. I realise that you personally have done a lot of R&D for your 33 and have a lot of info to offer, maybe its just me but i sense a bit of attitude in some of your posts. My name is not jack, it just sounds a bit (ocky to me. cheers buddy
