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...

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
    • Yeah I spent close to a year finding one. I was even tempted to buy a RB25DE N/A head and port it out. That latter option, could still be an option.
