HPI reckoned the HKS GT25 series (2530 2540 2535) were ideal as a "low mount" more efficient turbo upgrade of course the different turbo's will have different characteristics (2540 more top end power) (2530 a bit less top more mid) (2835 is a little different, bigger compressor wheel, same size exhaust wheel...gives a nice even band .. more torque) talk to Supraman for a price

he can get you a price on SECOND HAND one's

well at 1.5 you should make 240RWKW at least....

Tyre smokin fun.....

the thing is makaveli the torque will be right up there... so you'll have more "pull" power... if that makes sense...

240 is a fair bit at the wheel's..... I'm sure more could be made if you wanted it....

get a clutch too bro... you'll need it

The 2835 is not part of the GT25 series of turbos. You are thinking of the 2535. The 2835 as the "28##" suggests is part of the GT28 range.

If looking at using a 2835 i think you will find that it needs to be used with the HKS exhaust manifold and an external wastegate to get worhtwhile results.

As for the power it can make, well the info i have rates the turbo at around 380ps, as opposed to 320ps of the 2530. So about 230-240rwkws would be my guess at around 1.2bar.

This is a huge leap of faith, but my turbo is rated at 430hp and is not ball bearing and my engine is 100% stock, no cams not even cam gears and i get 8psi at 4200rpm, so expect you should be able to expect better response then this.

Also dont forget your old RB20 is liekly to be around 10 years old now, so figures can vary from engine to engine depending on condition.

The 2835 is capable of making around 270rwkw when you use an external gate and hks manifold at around 1.5 bar if you believe what HPI prints (I'm starting to doubt them a bit after the numbers their CA18T is supposedly putting out).

At 1 bar you will be well below the efficiency window of the turbo so wont get any real benefit from using it as it will be laggy and not make a huge amount of power.

That said, it will make bloody good power if you are willing to wind in the boost but don't expect too much below about 3500-4000. You'd also need all the support systems in place like fuel, intercooler, ecu etc.

Wasnt that figure on an SR20 with cams and cam gears? Is it fair to compare an SR20 power output at 1.5bar to a std RB20?

I seem to be following you around the forum like a bad smell Dave :rofl:

Leave me alone :) I figure you're just looking for interesting reading too.

I'd forgotten about the cams, thanks for reminding me. I still think it's a fair call, not saying that it'll make stupid power on all cars, just giving an idea of the potential flow of the turbo itself. 270rwkw is a shit load of power for any 2 litre engine to handle and is more than most people will aim for.

Plus you're talking about an sr20 which is still a two litre engine so ulimately with the same sort of mods they can flow a similar amount of air through them.

All that aside, HKS make some bloody good turbos so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of even bigger numbers coming from Japan.

Looking at the dollars needed for a full 2835 setup, that is turbo, exhaust manifold and wastegate, (new very $$$, 2nd hand rare and still rather pricey)

...is it worthwhile being one of the first to bolt a HKS GT-RS onto an RB20?

You would imagine more power then a 2530, and still bolts to std exhaust manifold and is still responsive enough for the street.

Who knows what could be achieved if you do as per the Jap S13/14/15 boys and use one of these turbos with a tubular exhaust manifold.

I haven't seen a GT-rs with a T3 flange yet. Do HKS make them at this stage?

There have been a few guys looking/waiting for them for a while now. Apparently there is one for a WRX, not that that helps any of us :)

A mate of a mate makes around 270rwkw with one of these on a highly modified SR20 (at least when its running and not cracking heads)

Guess you got online before me tonight Roy :)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
