The 2835 Pro S and GTRS are quite close in performance i believe, i know they're different but just doesn't seem to be much on paper.

So, when considering the 2835, the exhaust flange will definatley need to be custome made from what I've read and seen.

And i think you need an extra spacer to stop it touching the engine block.

THere's a thread on the 2835 install somewhere and there were a few headaches to get around but obviously do-able and worthwhile.

On the other hand, the GTRS is an easy swap out using the stand zort flange. Easy peasy.

I think you can forget my last post.

I can't remember which turbo i was thinking about??? but i do remember that bent bit of wire that's in the pics.....

Just found a thread on the install and it looks sweeeet.

Yeah, most turbos you;ve mentioned have T3, don't worry about that.

Just some people don't advertise all options on their sites so be sure to do thourough seaching before giving up.

Nengun.com has the kits for both showing the T25 and T3 options, that's where i usually start my searching.

I seriously stay steer clear of the 2835Pro S and 3037 Pro S (is there even such a thng?). These turbos perform much better with an external gate. the pro S versions having internal gate compromises their exhaust housings a lot. external gate is the go.

NOT exactly bolt on but i put together a kit for a guy in NSW last month.

T67-8cm with manifold gate etc...

over 213rwkw from 3000 and peaks at 270rwkw @ 17psi better all round HP and torque (up to 35-40kw down low) over the Garret GT35 that it replaced.

if anyone went to DA round 3 at eastern creek it was the Yellow R34 in super drift putting on the biggest smoke show of all the cars there.... tuff setup... best R34 GTT RB25 setup i have ever driven actually.

i will get his dyno graph to post up.... super responsive with decent top end. Not much more than 270 is possile with the 8cm rear though.... need to upgrade to 10cm to crack 300rwkw.

I still reckon from how my GT3076R drives that a bolt on GT3037 from HKS will meet most of those requirements. They will pull hard to redline, have excellent response, make good power, and have an awesome midrange whack.

If I did it all again, I'd not go smaller than a GT2835/GT3071R but not go bigger than a .82a/r GT3076R.

is ur turbo GT3076R .82ar?

when does it come on full boost in 3rd?

how would you think it compares to the HKS 3037 equivilant?.

do you think a .71 custom gtst housing would be good?

im taking the plunge and im stuck on turbo choice, also.

cheers,

2835 pro s is a bolt-on, if you buy the kit, it fits perfectly and comes with the dump pipe already. didnt take me long to install mine the only problem i found was that when tring to tighten the bolts that connect the turbo to the manifold it was tight fit to get the socket in there.

Also you dont need a dump pipe gasket if you but the KIT, as after tring to find one for my kit, i ended up calling HKS and after them sending me the wrong gasket 2times they told me they made a mistake and the gt2835 pro s kits dont need a gasket at all, ive been running mine for almost a year without a gasket and no problem at all!

internal gate is ok! lol ive got one, much cheaper going internal too :D

what car do you have and is the engine using stock internals?

R33, my engine internals are all stock, my engine has done 100,000km and i made 350hp @ 16psi without a problem

is ur turbo GT3076R .82ar?

when does it come on full boost in 3rd?

I have a .63a/r, I have full boost ~3500rpm in 3rd - very hard to tell because it sweeps past those revs too quickly, which has to give some kind of idea of what its like :P

how would you think it compares to the HKS 3037 equivilant?.

Depends on which GT3037... the 56Trim GT3076R will spool exactly the same as a 56T GT3037 running the same turbine a/r.

I think I'd be happiest with a .71, it spools REALLY quickly for the size with the .63 (easily quick enough) but the extra increase to .71 would probably make it a little more progressive and allow it to flow a bit better up high.

Me and a mate actually drove each others cars back to back this weekend actually - he has a R32 GTSt with a S2 RB25DET running stock turbo still. Driving impression, his is way better than mine up to 2500rpm under foot... then 2500rpm to 3000rpm his is noticeable better but nothing exciting, then from 3000rpm onwards mine feels like its made up all the difference and is keen to show stock turbo who's boss.

Hey Lithium don't suppose you have a dyno graph handy?

whats your peak power/boost used to get there?

Im watching with interest because Im close to upgrading myself and am sorta tossing up between the HKS GTRS or a garrett 3076 .63 rear but 52T. . .

emphasis on mid range but with 300+ hp atw

internal gate is ok! lol ive got one, much cheaper going internal too :(

well yeah they are ok, but for 300rwkw on a GTT or GTST I would definately be going external. the IG housings of turbos this size are not such a good compromise. i mean you know what the shape of the IG 2835 is... not good. sure the IG 2835 kit is cheaper but it's not that expensive to go External and for 300rwkw it's a better option.

How much more than 300hp? The area of around 300whp-350whp I'd just go with a GT3071R. I haven't had a full tune as the car has had a niggling boost control issue for ages, its getting a bunch of stuff changed over the next month which part of the result should be better boost control.

There are dyno plots on here of people using GT3076Rs though...

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
