so the 2835 went in and all i can say is WOW!

basically i am totally amazed at the performance of this setup!

car made 265rwkw on creatd dyno (dyno dynamics) and is virtually lag free!

there is DEFINATELY less lag than i was experiancing on the stock turbo at 185 rwkw

car hits full boost at around 3 grand in a loaded gear and starts winding up hard and fast from 2k

low boost setting gets max 16psi @ 85kph on the dyno (4th) & holds till redline (243.7rwkw)

high boost setting gets max 20psi @ 90kph and holds till redline with only a 1psi drop (265.7rwkw)

the few times i have hit it hard enough tonight I have been amazed with the response.

from cruising in 3rd, dropping it down into 2nd there is INSTANT response

and not to mention that 1st is the only gear with traction loss in the dry. (love my greddy coilovers & pineapples!)

anyone who has this turbo and says its laggy needs a new tune and an exh cam gear!

mods:

HKS 2835 pro s

PFC

greddy exhaust cam gear

nismo 555 cc injectors

nismo fuel pump

Z32 afm

Blitz DSBS spec S

3" zorst

De-cat pipe

other usual supporting crapolla, (fmic, clutch, etc etc etc)

suspension:

greddy type s coilovers (8/6)

swaybars, strutbrace, castor, camber, pineapples

245mm dunlop lemans rears

HUGE thanx to Rob @ creatd!!!!!!

pics and dyno sheet / video will be added as soon as i get time :whistling:

yep its definitly an awesome turbo.

its interesting that you needed 20psi to make 265rwkw. Firstly mine wouldnt hold more than 16.5-17psi at redline, at which it was making the same power yours is at 20psi.

my second gear loves to light em up when coming onto boost unless im on warmed up semi slicks, perhaps i should try some of those coilovers you have!

stick your dyno sheet up, heres mine for comparo, cant remember if its in the dyno sticky.

2835ProS stock motor, stock cams and stock cam gears, peak power at 17psi.

haven't got a scanner for the sheet atm... but i'd say the ex cam gear is the diff...

mine ramps up a bit quicker than that then levels out totally flat from about 150kph - 185kph @ redline

car is getting 170rwkw by 90kph

Very nice! :whistling: I had considered the GT2835 as well and figured it'd be much like you report, good to hear they are still a sweet turbo. Definitely would be my choice over a GT-RS - though the GT3076R definitely keeps those who are a little more greedy happy haha

Yep 2835 Pro S FTW!

I posted in the turbo comparo thread but I'll chuck my dyno sheet up here too... The only real difference in mods between my setup and you guys is I'm running Tomei 256 cams (and a built bottom end)

Traction is a bit of a problem and I'm only running low boost... have to roll on the throttle very gently in lower gears and that's with Bilsteins, pinapples set to squat, cusco diff, camber bushes and 255 wide Azenis RT615... I'll get some RE55's for the track so it should be okay... when you start running more power you can really start to see the advantage of the 4wd in the GTR!

but yeah big praise for Racepace, they did a great job, I'm very happy... just need a Benno special clutch and we can turn up the boost:)

my setup is also same as yours and i also get 270rwkws @15-16psi on the racepace dyno..

fantastic turbo, one of the best upgrades anyone can do to an RB25 IMO.

What has you leaning towards the 2835 over the GT-RS???

for me, it was simply seeing them both side by side in the cabinet! the 2835ProS looks more impressive from every angle. And the full kit comes with a really sexy stainless dump pipe :rofl:

NickR33, i am also running a built bottom end now, only other mod i have is tomei poncams, stock cam gears, so i guess same as your current setup, at 16.5psi:

traction is definitly a problem, but on warm RE55's as you step on it in 2nd gear is like being launched from a catapult!

I'm currently fitting an extrude honed OEM exhaust manifold, will know in couple of weeks if it makes any difference in this application. Having said that, by calculating the flywheel HP being made already, the turbo is probably at its upper limit.

this turbo wouldn't be ideal as a daily driving setup would it?

and by daily driving i mean...50% of me working = driving from client to client during the day 6 days a week

I have a larger Garrett GT3076R with a .82a/r turbine housing and the only thing making my car not great for doing that kind of stuff is the clutch I use. A GT2835 would be absolutely fine for daily driving, I'd say it'd be nicer to drive than the stock turbo which is an annoying POS to drive with its irritating hiss and complete inability to make any real torque or power despite the fact.

i do city/peak hour driving daily on this turbo and it works very nicely, in fact i prefer this to the standard turbo even in city/peak hour driving.

Edited by Jetdat

agreed, this turbo is absolutely fine for daily driving. Id even say its better than the 2530 for daily, as the 2530 surges onto boost too hard, where the 2835 is more progressive and controllable.

As mentioned, just get a friendly clutch, there are quite a few options there.

well yeah the reason I ask was coz i was always considering getting this turbo and talking to JoeyJoeJoe about him getting this setup made me wanna go for it even more! but then there's someone i know who is parting with his 2530 setup pretty soon and should be selling it to me for a reasonably cheap price so then i started to re-consider...

(Sorry to hi-jack your thread by the way, Hamish!) :D

Nice results Hamish!!

Sounds like a good set up!!

As a comparison mod....mines a GTRS turbo, pitty we are in different states mate, would be good to swap cars and see how different they are!

now get it out to the track and keep that smile on your face mate!

post-24539-1215075325_thumb.jpg

really need to get the dyno graph posted up... damn lack of scanner... but when you see the graph it really illustrates how fast this f**ker ramps onto full boost.

just took it for a drive and in the dry i really cant get it to break traction from go to redline in any gear but first...

i'm absolutely stoked!

also i forgot to mention.... when i picked up my car rob had degreased and cleaned the entire engine bay!!! :stupid:

    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
    • OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
    • Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).
    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
