Hey Guys.

Now i currently have a HKS 2835 Pro S waiting to be installed on the car...

Now i picked it up at a steal and have had a change of heart.

I really want an externally gated unit!

Now my question is, am i able to simply swap the rear housing's so it is no longer an internally gated unit?

Or isn't it that simple?

Changing to external is more of a personal preferance/semi wank factor... I mean who doesn't love gate?

Either any help/answers woudl be appreciated.

Cheers

Just sell the 2835 to me, and buy an externally gated one!

EDIT:

Okay you can change the exhaust housing to an externally gated one thats not a problem.

Or if you want to be a cheap-kunt you can weld the internal gate shut and run an ex gate. :)

Reason for wanting to go ex gate, other than for the scream on boost? If you dont have another reason stick to the internal gate!

Yeah i thought it could be done.

And no i dont want to be cheap at all, some of my mate were suggesting doing this but i flatly refused.

I'd happily sell it if i knew i could pick up another one easily and quickly!

Well if you want to get rid of it, PM me a rough price of what your chasing.

Thanks :P

I'd go external, as I went internal on a biger turbo and now I am having boost creep problems.

External is a much better way to control boost if you are planning to run more than 15 psi. And if you want over 250rwkw with that turbo, you'll definately nned to run more than 15psi.

Thats true.

External gate it known/prone to hold oost better than an internal gate setup, BUT that would be depending on the interal gate and boost controller setup I'd say..

There is plenty of people running up to 20psi on internaly gated turbo's such as high flows, and the boost holds fine.

Rb20 actuators are better at holding boost as they are designed to run stock 10psi, so they are easier to bleed, where as RB25 actuators are designed to run about 7psi?, so its a big harder to bleed higher boost with it.

HKS non gated housings are all t2 flanged for this turbo. As it has a cropped t3 turbine you can't just slap a garrett turbine housing on there and expect it to be anything other than ordinary. so you can either braze up the internal gate, get a new manifold with a t2 size flange and a hks non gated turbine housing, or sell it and get a proper 3071 which will fit a t3 flanged manifold.

Hmmmmm

So in a nut shell what your saying is that it would be easier to find a original/genuine externally gated 2835? (anyone know where i can find one?)

not at all, but the problem with this turbo in ex gate is that the proper housing only has a t2 inlet flange. I'd say the only rb20/25 manifold that has this flange off the shelf will be a genuine hks one so lots of dollars. easiest is the 3071 as it has the same front end and an uncropped gt30 turbine with a t3 flanged inlet.

...as if you need another reason!!

Screamer all the way whatever it takes! Theres nothing like the sound..

Screamers are so good that im even going to the trouble of making one for my low mounts on my gtr!!

...ps who really cares about the legalities of the whole thing too...

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
