Changing Turbo's

[tridentt150v]

Is the HKS 2835proS a straight fit?

And, if I replace my garrett highflow turbo with one, can I drive 200km to get it tuned?? I can't see any reason why not, if I sit on say 80km/h and take my time I should be OK, but I'd like to know what everyone reckons.

yeah it should be fine

just dont give it full load

if you do, it could be leaning out or knocking more etc

so just baby it around, just pretend your clutch is dead

and youll be fine

hey

if you buy the 2835 pros kit, its direct bolton comes with everything you need. If you have dump and front pipe that is complete as one, you need need to replaced that as the hks comes with its own dump pipe which bolts up to a front pipe like the factory setup.

also i drove my car untune with 740cc injectors, z32, 2835 pros and pfc for about a week and didnt have any problems if you take it easy and not give it shit you shouldnt cause any problems at all

As michael said, if you get a full rb25 specific kit you can bolt the whole thing up and have it running in under a day easily if you have a separate dump/front pipe already.

If it's only the turbo you will need a new dump pipe, turbo outlet adapter piece to mate up to the stock pipe and an inlet pipe to suit the 4 inch bellmouth. oil/water lines need to be changed too and the studs on the manifold will be too long and need to be swapped over or shortened. I'm fairly certain the oil return pipe flange is a t2 rather than the larger t3 size used on the stock turbo aswell, though the pipe diameter is the same (19mm rings a bell?).

trident...how much extra power do you expect from the change?

I'm only gunning for around 270-280rwkw. But I'd actually rather run a lower boost with a smaller rwkw, say 270rwkw all up.

Presently making 240 on a garrett hiflow [GCG, also its not a std R33 turbo] at 16psi but have since installed tomei 256/8.5 cams so may end up with 250-270 anyway, but at 16psi. Its not excessive, but if I could do it at 12-14psi it would be better on a std motor. But I'm really just thinking about it at the moment. I'll get a lot more serious once I make up my mind, and amass the $$$$.
