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 .

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
