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 .

  • 4 months later...

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!

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
