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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
