[R33_KRAZY]

thanx merli so do i......but by the sounds of all this then there is a REALLY GOOD chance that im up 4 a rebuild...exspecially after reading that link on page 4.....kinda all my symptoms...or lack of

neway thanx every1 for all you contribution an ill post up wat the results are on tuesday...

[R33_KRAZY]

ohh yeah does ne1 know a list of wat HKS turbo's will bolt onto my motor without needing to get a custom exaust manifold done up..?? thanx

[Cubes]

Depends what power you are after.

GT2535 makes around 250rwkw.

[R33_KRAZY]

ok...lol...the more the beter so long as it is a good drivable street car an bolts onto the stock position on the stock exaust an flange...

[Craved]

Gt2540. Gt2530

[Cubes]

Steer clear of the 2540. It lacks the mid range.

[Craved]

what happened to the other post joel??

[Cubes]

What other post?

[Craved]

the one saying that the 2540 are proven worthwhile :confused: well thats what my email said!! oh well

they all have advantages and disadvantages..

[R33_KRAZY]

i would luv 300kw but i want good response still an i want good all round power.....i will get adj. cam gears aswell soon....

[Craved]

hmmm, for around 300 you would need at least a GT2835 or above, but the response will suffer the further up you go in power (well for street anyway!)

[Cubes]

Yer what I wrote was something along the lines of the 2540's have been proven not to be worthwhile.

They only offer a little bit more peak power of the 2530 yet lag considerably down low.

[Cubes]

R33_Krazy,

Are you talking 300kw at the flywheel or 300kw at the wheels?

300kw at the flywheel is some where around 220-240kw at the wheels.

If you want 300kw at the rears you will need to go forged pistons.

Or you could do the RB26 internals in the RB25 route to pull 300rwkw, even then you will be better off with forged pistons.

[R33_KRAZY]

i would luv it at the wheels....hmm sounds like i need an engine rebuild neway if i want by dream 2 be real....round wat is the safe limit of wat the stock internals will hold..??

[Cubes]

I wouldn't push a stocker past 240rwkw max.

You can get more out of them but be prepared to rebuild it again should some thing go wrong with the tune or a bad batch of fuel.

Its worth while slapping a set of $1100-$1600 (depending on source) forged pistons when you do the rebuild. Drop the comp to 8.5:1.

[R33_KRAZY]

sounds like that will be my plan....
