Hi all , the Pro S versions of the 2835 and 3037 usually work better than generic Garrett versions because they are model specific and tailored to suit the engines state of tune . Its all in the housings and dump .

Good results , I've often wondered how the 0.68 A/R 3037 Pro S shaped up on an R33 RB25DET .

HKS went to a fair bit of trouble with their GT Pro turbine housing and dump pipe for a reason - they work .

Does anyone with access to Nengun/Greenline know what they charge for this kit ATM ?

Are you intending to run the poncams to finish it off ?

Cheers A .

One interesting fact is that if using the OEM exhaust manifold, the HKS housing has to be relieved to match the larger than T3 flange on the manifold. So it bolts up, but still has the same slight mismatch facing the Garrett housing.

I'll have to grab a vid of the garrett equiv to the hks3037s; its quite a bit louder even with a stock air box.

Dale.. A friend recently did this with his gt35r 1.06 iw bolted on to the std exh. manifold and picked up ~20rwkw.

20kW is a LOT. That lip might only be 5mm or so, but it's got to cause problems with achieving smooth efficient flow into the turbine. The stock manifold does a good job, but the system doesn't need restriction like that when it's reasonably easily fixed.

The HKS unit runs a bell mouth insert within the compressor snout. Does anyone know if these are available for purchase? When looking into the inducer of the housing as supplied by Garrett, you can see the square edged lip that the insert sits into. That in itself would not work well for flow, and has to add to the HKS branded item. Just wondering.

I put a video response on that youtube vid of my Skyline (and a mates Supra - unfortunately I don't have video editing software to remove that bit :) ) blatting up the road in a similar kind of way, you can hear my Garrett 56T GT3076R with .82a/r rear housing doing the same thing. Definitely has a noticeable difference in spool sound etc. Exhaust note sounds a bit different though there are a few differences in setup between mine and Jasons - one of the majors being his being tuned on 17psi with 95 octane and mine being on ~1bar on 98 octane.

I agree, that lip would cause a bit of restriction, i didnt even think to check the internal measurements of the stock manifold flange compared to the exhaust housing, would have a gained a decent amount of flow/repsonse/power if i had the turbo matched to the manifold, anyway this might be fixed in the future, i already have a few plans in my head which involve a new custom made manifold :)

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
