lol... narkehh! it can be a 'low mount turbo' if it's mounted on a low-mount manifold you goose. Same goes for a high mount manifold.  The manifold determines your turbo mounting position, not the turbo itself! provided you have the space required of course..

HAHA ok cool... well thats ok then... why does every one opt for a high mount all the time then? i know i would prefer it to be less obvious... then again i guess im more secure in my hetrosexuality and penis size then those opting to show as much off as possible :mellow:

there's a few reasons, one is because the high mount is easier to access and work on than the low mount. It also allows you to display your big shiny fcuk off compressor wheel :blink:

The low-mount is stealth. Good for EPA inspections B)

LOL... yes I suppose Denham doesn't feel as secure as others. :lol:

i see... so no real performance gains at all?

cheers... oh and again for the number :blink:

haha poor denham... its not all his fault tho... its all about genetics :)

Dumbass u try low mounting my GT30 in my engine bay and tell you how successful u are.

It is also a waste of time high mounting a 2535 or 2540 as they are small and can still use the stock manifold

:mellow: theyre not small... theyre just small next to ur mammoth turbo lol

nark they are small man when comparing to the stock turbo side by side.

I measured the difference in size between the stock turbo and the 2530 and its like 2mm here and a couple there, bugger all really. The wastegate is much bigger though. The inlet neck is also better designed but overall, very little. I wasnt impressed.

Performance wise, the 2530 eats the stocky for breaky. It has so much midrange you can think you can take anyone on. Top end it falls over because its too small. My max power is at 5600rpm, after that you draw a straight horizontal line.

I would love to try something bigger, but i want a bolt on, something i dont have to piss fart around with dumps and inlets etc.

Robo, What about a HKS 2835.... they seem to make decent power...

Once my car is complete with an exhaust i mean, I would me more than happy to compare yours and mine...

At the moment it doesnt really feel like it is dropping of at all, and the dyno reflects that.. i dont know if it becuase i am only running 12psi, which may be the reason.

I had a garrett gt2835 in my hands last saturday at RUS's workshop on sat for an r32 rb20 when they were trying to bolt it on there as owner was told it was a straight fit turbo :P :P

Lets just say it still aint on there and custom mods to exhaust and intercooler piping needs to be made plus the comp and exhaust covers need to be rotated to match the stock turbo positions, and new oil and water lines are needed. It looked a nice size turbo tho

isnt that what kyrz has? that thing aint small at all lol

but the GT2540s are a lot easier to fit right?

Chris is meant to have a hks 2835 pro s which would be modified to fit the oil/water, cooler/exhaust lines for the rb25 fittings.

The garrett ones you need to modify yourself to fit everything. Its still a tight fit on the stock manifold down there for that turbo.

2540 is piece of piss to install

Thats what i like to hear, a bit of competition

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
