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.

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 :dry:

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?).

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 $$$$.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
