Well the start of figuring out why my car runs like shit begun last week, The turbo is on its way out - the impeller is loosened up and starting to rub on the houseing and its only a matter of time before it breaks and sends blades through my engine...

So a new computer and turbo is in order - I have done alot of reading about just getting the rb25 one hi flowed and rebuild but this seems to cost between $1500 and $2000, might as well just buy a brand new turbo.

Im not trying to get rediculous high end power I'd rather low end the car being a drift car. What can anyone recommend?

The GT2530 seems like a reasonable option good price and about the power output I want anyone put one on an Rb25?

I have been searchin the forums reading all sorts of mixed results, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and great news about getting your car back Nic!

I thought non-bb turbo rebuilds were under $1k and 2530s were more than $2k ?

Sucks about the turbz :

Depends on how bad the turbo is to start with and what gets done to it. My mates CT26 cost like $2500 for highflow and rebuild, exxy experience, but worth it.

a 2nd hand HKS 2530 should cost you between 1400-1800. They will be good for about 230rwkw, but the response will be fantastic on the 25.

You will probably find it will come down to what you can actually find. Bolt-on upgrades for RB's don't come up for good prices that often, and are usually snapped up pretty quick

G'day mate

I recently saw on Nengun.com that they have a kit which includes the HKS GT RS turbo along with four injectors, power fc and controller and GT RS kit for the RB25DET brand new for about $4800 delivered. Quite a fair whack of cash but you are getting avery good package at a very competitive price, Im trying to put the cash together myself as we speak. :headspin:

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
