hi keith hows things,
hope all is well.i will send the pics of the bumper a,s,a,p although i remember you saying that its the splitter is what he needs and i dont have that.as for the lag,the actuator needs replacing as discussed.its very strong as is and is boosting high with the boost controller off(actuator is not adjustable),when the boost controller is set up it does come on boost earlyier but controlling the boost levels is difficult.there is also quite a large back housing on this turbo which would not help lag.but like i said when we replace the actuator and fit the manifold and a remap.the lag will be less and will go for more power,as is it sounds like your having fun breaking traction in 2nd and 3rd:D
talk to u soon
jamie
what was said to keith was not 'see how the engine goes.
when we gave him back the car we explained to him what was needed and theres no point in having it parked up while waiting for parts as kieth also needed the car,we said sure see how it goes till we get the parts,and once there in we will check over the car again,fit the parts and remap it(free of charge),he was happy with this,
as for the map there is nothing wrong with it and this i can assure u.if there was a problem there would have been a problem by now and would not be going so well,the problem with lag was explained above and will be sorted;)
As jamie said the map is perfect but not up to full power yet because of the actuator. All i think i need is a actuator and then the manifold fitted and that should take care of the lag but as is im delighted with the results so far. :D
That turbo should be boosting before 3k when you get it mapped...... Hks 2530 is a very very quick spooling turbo........ Then the fun will begin.........:D
Anybody have a vid with 2530 fitted to a rb20 ive checked and cant find much. Like to see what my car will do in a few weeks :D

This is mickos yoke the red r32....... Running 380 bhp with a hks 2530 @1.3 bar......
I'm not saying the map is unsafe, I am saying it may be the map that is causing the lag, The 2530 turbo doesn not have a large housing at all, It is very nearly the same size as standard, it just flows better and has stronger internals.
A well mapped 2530 will be spooling at 2500 and hitting full boost by 3000. It would also be very unusual for someone to have fitted an non adjustable actuator to one.
Also on the RB tubular exhaust manifolds only serve to loose torque over the standard nissan one. They will not give any power increase or any meaningfull change in spool up.
