Another Hks 2835 Question

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...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
