Any info you can give us on the camera setup? Is it a lipstick camera inputted to a digi cam? I have been looking for a setup for track days, scrutineers are getting pretty strict with installs these days so if you can get that quality out of a lipstick camera i would love to hear about it

I don't know what a 'lip stick' camera is, forgive my ignorance.

Nonetheless, the camera I used was just an ordinary still shot camera in video mode. I merely wrapped cloth tape (VERY sticky sticky tape) around the camera and steering column to ensure it doesn't move around, simple as that.

Cheers.

in a nutshell:

the gtrs is a re badged garet 2871 series housing

the 2835 pro s is a re badged garret 3071... i.e. bigger

the gtrs lines up with the stock dump pipe

2835 needs a custom job, or if bought in a kit comes with its own dump pipe.

the 2835 will net you 30rwkw odd more for roughly 1k more

BUT... its been said on here a few times that the gtrs is for those who want to fry every gear and the 2835 is for those that want to be able to get their power to the ground.

both fun options... i went for the 2835.... (still waiting to install it tho) :D

Thats interesting... The 2835 is usually considered to be a relatively lag free turbo...

i have the HKS 2835 PRO S on my rb20, only just put it on an still have to get it tuned but dam, makes 3 psi at 3k lol full boost at around 4.5k, its slow but has a bit of kick at the end, nothing like the

vid, very impressive mate

nice setup !!! money well spent if you ask me.

i found a guy who has a hks gtrs turbo on you tube if any one is interested in see it..

post the link dude :P

in regards to the above you tube links.

im not real sure what you guys see in the gtrs.

have you not been in anything faster?

it makes lots of wooshing noises but dosent seem to pull very hard.

you may say im full of shit but i know what my wifes car is capable of and that gtrs has nothing on the muppet bus.

i think the car above in question has lots of mods and a hell of a lot of money thrown at it , yet it struggles to make the wheels chirp as it ramps onto boost in second. wheres all the midrange? for dollars spent it should spin to the limiter when you floor it in second, but it dosent.

Yeah thats a fairly good point, if thats in 2rd - mine gets a lot more savage than that and romps through second. Makes the pretty noises too, but probably a fair bit cheaper setup - and only running conservative boost.

The GT2835 vid posted in this thread sounds like it'd give it a spank :thumbsup:

Heres a clip with mine when I got the internally gated housing, before I got the boost controller for it:

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
