My god. Say what you mean, mean what you say and dont be mean saying it. Ppl are makign valid comments in this thread but seems people are cruising for an argument and from there it has lost the plot.

Can we get back on track ? :)

User banned.

The Mafia, next time around, don't bite back, as regardless of what the other user posted, some of your comments are equally unacceptable on this forum.

Next time report it first, don't react to it.

Ok lets get back to the turbo comparison..

Ive seen great things from the GT-RS turbo but i must say that the GT2835 has a slightly larger compressor wheel (correct me if im wrong, but thats what i seen last.. ) which will give it a larger amount of airflow for the same boost pressures so long as its in its efficiency range

That just took me 20 bloody minutes to clean up.

Behave yourselves your bloody children. For gods sake most of you know better than that.

EDIT: Just seen your post Nick, ive dealt warnings etc also so they can stay unless you have an issue?

Bumblebee I think the superior turbine/housing (gas flow wise) has more to offer than the trim size difference ie 52 vs 56 compressor trims . Also the GT-RS (2871R 52T) is a dead end as in there are no larger housings to put it in if you find it restrictive . Stupidly HKS never had the 0.86 version of the GT28 turbine housing made with the T3 flange .

At least with the 2835 Pro S you have two sizes to play with though virtually everyone who got the smaller one regretted it later on an RB25 .

At the end of the day its your money and your call , if it was me and cost was not a problem it would be the 2835 Pro in the 0.87 housing . If you were really worried about lag you could get the 0.68 housing , its still a larger ratio than the GT-RS's 0.64 but its in a GT30 based housing not a GT28 based one . The waste gate and dump design is far superior IMO to the GT28 type and that's what costs more to make .

Cheers A .

sorry to revive an old thread but I've been through this dilemma recently and thought I would post the results... I decided on the HKS 2835 Pro S with the 0.68 housing (came with the kit so thought I would try it out first)

results were 244rwkw @ 13psi... clutch would not hold anymore power on the dyno... I can post a dyno chart if anybody is interested... mods are in the RB25 turbo upgrade sticky... turbo comes on a little later than the stock but this just makes it easier to putt around off boost... when you want the power its all there well before 4000rpm... I definately wouldn't desribe it as laggy... I'm VERY happy with the results, none of the whooshing sounds of the stocker either, just a jet like whine as it spools

can't wait to shove 20psi down its throat:)

lol

Hamish, do you get commission from promoting GT2835's? hehehehe :D (awesome results btw mate!)

Nick,

yeah it has awesome responce! man, Ive jsut read 3 threads now on these turbo's (GTRS and 2835) and now I wanna go for a drive lol!! But car is sleeping for superlap!

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
