Im asking for trouble running stock boost some how I doubt that my 180 ran 12psi all day everyday stock no fmic no fuel pump no computer with no problems and dont skyline's run rich in factory tune. I was hoping for around 140ish rwkw max anyway so I'll dyno it and go from there. I may get a warblo if the pumps leaning out. Thanks

Cool we have different opinions then yippee I was under the impression since a lot of people are running around with stock ecu anmd stock fuel pumps making 170 atw with just a front mount and a exhaust then mine would be fine at stock boost making around 150 atw but I see your point I guess the dyno will let me know.

I never seem to get the cash together to buying the big expensive (well to me) items so I thought Id get them first this time plus I can sell my stock turbo for a couple of hundred bucks as it will be in good nick having only ever run it on stock boost and low km that way I can get my cooler piping ( I have already bought a gtr cooler I just havent got the piping yet) then Ive only got fuel pump (170) ecu remap 330? and injectors 600 ish? to get

Ahh, the 2530 is going to flow considerably more air, generate more heat and make a lot more power than the stock turbo at the same boost.

Yes the 2530 will flow better than a standard turbo at the same boost but I don't know what drugs you are smoking if you think it's going to generate more heat!

How could it generate more heat at the same boost if it's a bigger turbo and is using less shaft speed to reach the desired boost level?

Putting a bigger turbo on a standard GTSt (as long as you continue to run standard boost) is fine as long as the car goes on the dyno and the fuel mixtures are kept on the richer side.

Im putting my 2530 on this weekend and installing a walbro pump but I wont have my cooler done till a few weeks later can anyone give me an idea of how much more power if any I will make running it on stock boost compared to the stock turbo. Thanks

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
