as people have already said this turbo is better for daily driving IMO... none of the whooshing/hissing and carrying on the stocker does (which got really annoying after a while) and I feel I have better control over when I want positive boost pressure and when I just want to putt around... the motor also doesn't feel as 'strangled' anymore... kinda like the first time you get a full exhaust on your car

the traction problems I was having were mostly to do with the freezing and damp roads that night, seems to be gripping much better now... helps if there is some heat in the tires too

Sly33 have you tried pushing anymore than 16.5psi? I thought these turbos would take 18-20psi on an RB25? That said I will be happy with 280rwkw if I can get it:)

im intrigued. dunno much about turbos but this one seems to address what i want. responsive, easy to drive. im not a top speed person more twisties. what do these kits go for and where can i buy one? are these low mounts still and would i need to upgrade my injectors? appologies for the noob questions...ha

yes these are low mounts and i would highly recommend getting the full kit rather than the turbo itself for easier installation..

depending on how much power you want, and i would imagine you would want about 250-270 from this turbo, you would need injectors, fuel pump, z32 afm and some type of aftermarket management and the basics like fmic etc.

thanks...well i got a pfc and z32 thats been sitting here for a while. im on that fence whether i should tune it as is with the stock turbo or fall off the fence and go all out and be done with power mods. Id be quite happy with 250kw and super responsivness.

ive seen pics of the kit and that dump pipe sure looks nice. what do these kits go for?

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.

take a pic of it with your mobile and post it.

btw, nice review. now everyone wants one !!!! :P me included

Ohhh I wouldn't go that far, I just got back from having a drive with my .82a/r GT3076R boosted R33 S2 and I really don't look back - so much fun :P

I ordered one of these after researching for around 2 months for the best turbo upgrade for my 25. Wanting best response, higher hp than my 2530, without breaking the bank and maintaining low mount position.

2835 pro s was the answer!

Currently making 229rwkw with the 2530, looking for 250-270rwkw with the 2835. Will post once I have it installed and tuned. Just gotta wait for the thing to arrive :banana:

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
