Its Time For A New Turbo.

[Dragonforce]

Hey all,

Im torn between a Hi-flow or a new HKS GT-RS.

Looking for some personal opinions here from people who have used either of these or have had a chance to compare them.

Looking though some threads ive noticed the GT-RS has a slightly better power curve on the dyno but was wondering does it justify the extra cost for what seems to be a relatively similar peak power to the GCG hi-flow. I'm chasing street response, no lag monster suggestions please!

Well all opinions are welcome!

Thanks,

Dragonforce

I would denfinately go for HKS, I made the mistake of hight flow GCG. getting it run right which still doesnt, I might as well put on the HKS it would have cost me the same money.

but still your choice...

GT-RS....don't skimp get the real deal and be happy from the start!

[Sheng]

do a search mate

but GTRS yes!

GT-RS dont waste your time with a highflow.. a gtrs will give you 250kw and over with blistering response..

I"m running the GCG high Flow.

I've been really happy with it. It makes good power and with cams, I've got a pretty fat power curve.

Check out the Dyno graph comparison website in my sig, and have a look at the power curve between my car and some of the GTRS equipped cars.

If I could have my time again, I would probably have gone GTRS or probably even 2835ProS.

At the time of getting my turbo, I'd blown the old one and the fastest way back on the road was a high flow.

without even readin this thread fully im just gonna say "GTRS"

[Dragonforce]

Haha thanks for the input guys.

If anyone out there has a dyno graph of a GT-RS on an RB25 please post it up. There are a few in the 25 upgrade thread but the more the merrier

Cheers

another great all-rounder from HKS

[Dragonforce]

Argh now i have another option to consider!

Ill go have a read up on prices i suppose, direct fit without too much stuffing around is my goal!

[stolen_s15]

If you have the $$$ the GTRS is the better option. But that is not to say that the hiflow is a bad piece of kit at all.

Plenty of people on here who are happy with both the options you have put forward.

A/R 0.68 or 0.87?

[frozenwaffles]

my hks gtrs just arrived from nengun...YAY!!! cheap too!

[GTR-80Y]

A new garrett or HKS turbo for sure!

[discopotato03]

Someone here PM'd me just the other day saying they really like their HKS GT2835 Pro S 0.68 A/R on an RB25DET .

The full kit may look expensive but they give you everything to make the turbo fit like all lines a dump pipe etc .

The call was that its very similar to the std pea shooter turbo right down low but comes on reasonably quickly - like a road car turbo should .

This person thought through someone else experience that the 0.87 A/R exhaust housing option cost that nice low-medium range squirt and for the small amount of top end it wasn't worth it on an RB25 .

The guts of it is that the 2835 Pro uses a slightly larger trim version of the same compressor family as the GT-RS uses .

Turbine wise its a little larger and a different family to the GT-RS's one .

Exhaust housing wise the Pro S one is a MUCH better design and with the 2835's turbine will make more power for stuff all difference spool wise .

Like with any change to a turbo engines breathing abilities you HAVE to tune it properly to take full advantage of the upgrade . This kind of thing is a bit beyond what the std computer wants to deal with and dito for the std SMIC .

Sounds like a real nice can live with it everyday road car option to me .

Cheers A .

ive got the 0.87 on my 2835 fully boost 15psi at 4500 wich i think has something to do with other things not the turbo lol. but yeh great turbo aye.
