Robbo yes you can buy a turbo from Garrett with the same cartridge but the housings , mainly the turbine side , let it down . If you get in quick and buy HKS's turbine housing designed for their GT2835 Pro S turbo you are 85% of the way there . The other essential difference is HKS's port shrouded compressor housing though you can get a Garrett version of this to suit your turbo . HKS would have used that style of compressor housing for a reason so a good chance it may suffer compressor surge without it .

Costs of component changes could be getting up to the region of the HKS as is .

HKS normally rate their GT2835 Pro S turbo at 420 PS . I imagine you can't buy a 2835 Pro S with the larger .87AR turbine housing because of the lag factor given that a lot of effort went into getting these things responsive . At least they did do the .87 for those that wanted it though expensive not being able to go direct with that option . I'll do a brief GT30 UHP series turbine summary for those maybe not in the know .

1) Unmolested GT30 84 Trim - 60.0mm x 55.0mm .

2) Cropped GT30 90 Trim - 56.5mm x 53.6mm .

3) Cropped GT30 84 Trim - 56.5mm x 51.8mm .

No 1 comes in the real GT3071R , the GT3076R/GT3037 , the GT3040R and hateful GT30/TO4S options .

No 2 comes in a variant of HKS's GT2835R (T28 flanged .86AR) , and Garretts upsized "GT3071R-WG" .

No 3 comes in HKS's GT2835/R/Pro S and junior sized "GT3071R-WG" .

Brief he said ...

All these are squeezed into four cartridge or CHRA types which I'm gassing on about so that those

who want to mix n match know whats what .

A) 700177-0002 Cropped 84 trim turbine with 71mm 52 trim compressor .

B) 700177-0003 Cropped 84 trim turbine with 71mm 56 trim compressor , (see No 3 above) .

C) 700177-0004 Cropped 90 trim turbine with 71mm 56 trim compressor , (see No 2 above) .

D) 700177-0023 Unmolested GT30 turbine with 71mm 56 trim compressor , (see No 1 above ) .

Ok so thats the facts , if you want an integral waste gate and T3 flanged ex housing use either the HKS Pro S type (nothing available for 90T 2835R) on any of the above EXCEPT the real Garrett GT3071R seen above ie No1 and D . For this one you need the new Garrett GT30 integral gate type housing or HKS's version for their GT3037 Pro S . Do not bore out a HKS housing for the 2835 Pro S series because HKS moved the cartridge centre across which you can see if you have a pic of the GT3037 Pro S housing .

This whole business of boring or re profiling non native turbine housings very rarely ever works , it can if the native turbines trim is being increased but OD changes alter the housings nozzle . The only stand out I know of is the GCG Hi Flow and I hope to one day see an exhaust manifold pressure test but thats another story .

Fingers fried , cheers A .

I orderd my GT2835 with .87 a/r and turbineless kit. How much more lagger are we talking about when compared to the .6x a/r? Ive heard they are most affective at around 22psi but from the post ive read on here, it seems like around 19psi and they run out of puff. Im really hoping to crack the 300rwkw mark. I do have cams to help.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
