Shameless plug

Dont know exactly how much power it had as i never wound up boost and dyno'd it...but same turbo on RB25s make 250-270rwkws. So on an RB20 i would have thought 230-250rwkws would have been realistic

[rb20-calais]

hks 2530 20rwkw 17psi

blows some black smoke so i reckon there is more in it.

[AzzurrA]

hrm, i'd hope that there's more in it if its only getting 20rwkw

[rbs13]

soon will be tdo6 20g 8cm exhaust housing int gate.. hoping for enough power to blaze stockies in 3rd all the way so maybe 25kw.. iv heard of 2530 run 20kw and he was doin well..so heres hoping

HKS 2530

230rwkw at 1.2bar

wicked response too

[VLRB20DET]

is the TD06- 20G a direct bolton to the standard exhaust manifold or it requires a custom manifold also is the TD06-20G a much larger unit than the 2530??

[bbenny]

the TD06 uses a different manifold, with ext gate.

see Troy's link on post #2 for all the details.

it is a much different set up to the 2530. if you are chasing good power (over 240rwkw) go for the TD06

Well thats what im hoping but plenty of ppl are tellling me that due the valve size and std cams RB20s wont make good power once you start to venture over the 300rwhp figure????

If thats true then tha lesser response of the TD06 wont pay off up top :Oops: Just grabbed another std RB20 to get the thing back on the road (more money ). Should know Friday....but ive been saying that for a while now the GTR cams i have are dead, might see if i can get another set somewhere but would rather some 256 8.5mm jobbies

[rbs13]

you can purchase a t3 int gate tdo6 like i did.. bolt on with new oil lines/spacer and longer bolts.... thats al oh and new cooler piping and dump pipe..

[SXC180]

T04e with external gate

roughly 250rwkw

HKS2530 is pretty much the sweet spot. Much more and it becomes a bit of a pain in the arse on the street. Unsure of the 2535 does on the rb20.

LOL...depends how you drive on the street.

Id actually say its easier/nicer to drive then a 230rwkws RB25 (ie torque monster) i drove recently as the thing isnt ramping hard onto boost all the time. When you want to GO its a concious decision as you have to wind 4000rpm into it then it takes off.

But i think a 2530 is the money...std injectors, std AFM and std ECU for a nice and reponsive 210-230rwkws...what more can you ask for?

[VLRB20DET]

Im mainly interested in drag racing, if i had a PowerFC, Bigger Injectors what would be the best turbo i should get that i can make at least 230-250 RWKW without tons of lag

I was thinking of the TD06 but i dunno if it would be my best option

as for the 2530 im thinking it would be good but weather it will be able to flow enough air for 240kw?????

[rbs13]

2535 would flow enough easily i would think.. better off getting cams and gtr cam gears and have more midrange and top end.. with something like 1.3 bar.. 1.4bar i wouldnt be suprised if you could reach 250kw with this.. of course, coola, exhaust, injectors, computer as well tho..

[VLRB20DET]

anyone know if the 2535 is external w/gate or not and will it bolt up to the rb20 manifold?

I put the same post on skylinesdownunder.com and someone put up they are getting 294RWKW from a RB20 with a GT30 and 100 shot of NOS????

GTR cams i take it you just use the ones from a stock RB26DETT??

[yogi000]

how do the HKS 2510 respond with rb20, i'm not looking for much hp just good response and mid range??

[Busky2k]

On a dyno day last year an R32 with an 2510 pulled 19xrwkw. Not bad, and probably could get more from it too. And it would be super responsive!

[yogi000]

thats impressive, only ask because u can get them from jap auctions for like 350 with only 5 -10000 on it....then shippin and what ever else i'd be saying 550-600 landed

[Remix-]

Wow, you can hook up a 2510 for 600 landed? Show me where!
