Equinox - That dyno chart is fine assuming you mean run about 1bar at manifold, 2.25 ratio. Remember the compressor charts are a ratio of output pressure/input pressure at the compressor housings (after losses).

output pressure = pressure before losses through piping and intercooler plus normal atmosphere (estimate 2psi loss = 16.7 + 14.7)

input pressure = pressure after vaccum loss to air filter and piping. (estimate 12.7psi, ie. 2psi vacuum relative to atmosphere)

Ratio =

(16.7 + 14.7)/12.7 = 2.5

(brackets are guestimates - I do not stand by them at all) :)

Not being a smart arse just trying to create some clarity for those using compressor charts. :P

Ohh and I agree GTRS would be my turbo of choice (if I wasn't so broke). HKS quote 225rwkw at 0.9bar I beleive on RB25, seems to be on the money.

Looks like this is shaping up to be a GTRS vs 2835 Pro S thread.

I am installing a 2835 Pro S in around 2 weeks. I went through the whole turbo analysis phase and came down to a choice between these two. My requirements where 250-280rwkw on stock internals (I have all other supporting mods) whilst maintaining response. It was a hard choice, but I had heard more positives from people who had a 2835, hence I went for that!

Surely the .68 vs .64 A/R would make a minimal difference in response? I have heard 2835 users state boost comes on as early as 2.5k rpm?

Don't forget that the GTRS uses a HKS enhanced GT"28" turbine housing where the Pro S turbos use HKS enhanced GT "30" turbine housings . If you had the turbine housing off a T3 flanged (RB spec) GTRS and a 0.68 A/R Pro S one sided by side you could see a marked difference .

Personally I suspect it's a price thing going on here GTRS vs 2835 Pro S , if the price was line ball I'd go for the 2835 every time .

What would be interesting for comparison price wise would be a GTRS kit supplied with their dump pipe and all the extras to get it on an R33 GTS25T .

As for SR20's , they use T28 flanged exhaust manifolds so you could fit either a 0.64 or a 0.86 A/R GT28 turbine housing to a GTRS . Neither Garrett or HKS made T3 flanged 0.86 A/R GT28 turbine housings , Garrett do the 64 and the 86 in T28 flange and HKS do the 64 in T28 and T3 flange to suit CA/SR or RB engines .

a bit out of left field but what about using the twin spec turbo in a single spec setup?

that is, using say a 2835 from a twin GTR kit on a single turbo setup.

troy (roy) has a twin trust turbo setup, but is only using a single turbo on his rb20.

it has one of the best curves and setups ever seen on an rb20.

there's a 2835 kit in twin form for the GTR with twin external gate.

i dont think you can order a 2835 in single form with external gate.

any ideas / ball park on the specs of the 2835 ex gate version from the GTR twin kit?

I would have to check Paul but often the larger HKS spec (larger that GT28xx) twins use smaller (than 56) trim compressors like from memory HKS GT2835's for RB26's used 52T 71mm compressors , I think some 3037's were the same deal . Their GT3240 is just a cropped GT35 turbine (cropped to ~ GT32 dimensions) and the compressor was a 54T version of the GT3582R's compressor .

The GTRS (GT2871R 52T) was a later addition to their line up and its 71mm GT35 compressor is 52T as well .

That's why I was always keen on 3037 52T's in the past . It's not always easy to get maps for the smaller trim compressors but the usual trend is (all else being equal) as compressor trim falls turbine efficiency rises .

Brett at GCG reckons all bets are off between HKS and Garrett now and their altered spec cartridges should be available - maybe special order though . Trouble is you probably won't get HKS's housings from Garrett and Garrett don't do T3 flanged turbine housings for the cropped GT30 turbine .

You may be able to rat up a second hand GT2835 Pro turbine housing and buy a 52 comp trim cartridge for it .

Information is scarce but there may have been a 48T version of the 2835 intended for Subaru or Toyota , I can't remember which .

Anyway HKS catalogs show 48 and 52T versions of 2835s and 3037s .

Cheers A .

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
