Hi guys, after reading through the rb25 turbo results, i'm after stats on this turbo.

eg: when boost hits, how many rwkw can they put out, etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction or talk from experience.

i'm after a responsive turbo for my rb25det running forgies and soon cams.

For street and some track

Chaseing 280ish.rwkw

Thanks Simon

btw, was considering a gt30 but too big and laggy and want more power than a highflow.

Yes been thrashed to death this one , off the top of my head I think ~ 400 Hp was the limit of the thing (GT2835) depending on manifold/gate/tuning and 101 other things .

GT2835 expensive especially in T3 flanged integral gate form but easy to fit .

Garretts GT3071R "WG" or waste gated is a waste of space because it uses an inappropriate GT28 exhaust housing so wrong flange and Rat Sht turbine performance .

IMO the best is the "real" GT3071R (CHRA no 700177-5023) with the full sized GT30 turbine in a REAL GT30 exhaust housing . ATM the REAL exhaust housings are only available without integral (internal) wastegate , though Garrett have been promising an integral .82 housing for some time .

Cast Iron Rule - research turbos because they are expensive . Don't just believe its good because the bloke with the cash register says so . YOUR the one that has to live with it if you don't like it .

Cheers .

The hks 2835proS will do what you are asking fairly easily if you are going to put cams in, a bit less without. IMHO they are the best bolt on street turbo for an rb25 by far, but you are paying for it.

Considering that your HKS unit will set you back around 3500 if you can slip it into the country without duty or tax (but includes everything you need to bolt it on) you should also look at the 3071 that disco has mentioned above as it is considerably cheaper to buy but you have the added expense of the new manifold, wastegate, dump and intake piping, and oil and water lines. If you can do it for the same price as the hks unit i'd be surprised.

End of the day, both will give similar results from what i have seen.

This is what took me the time (12 months) to know with certainty what I wanted. And it meant I had to reject the advice from ALL sellers - they wanted to push the sizing UP and didn't seem to understand my objectives and preferences. In the end it was a conversation with a Garrett engineer that confirmed my convictions.

The HKS unit will do everything you want, but the cost is savage.

This is what the HKS 2835 Pro-S kit looks like. I have it installed on my R33 and make around 280rwkw.

Very impressive, and typical of what you can expect with a Japanese-style full kit.

No argument that you get what you pay for.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
