just wondering what duration cams would b the best to use with these particular turbos?

HKS GT2835

Compressor:

Wheel trim - 52T

Inducer Diameter (mm) - 51.2

Exducer Diameter (mm) - 71

Turbine:

Wheel Trim - GT28

Exducer Diameter (mm) - 51.8

Inducer Diameter (mm) - 56.5

i was thinking atound the 260 - 270 degree area.

any help would be appreciated! cheers

I'd be saying factory if it's a street car.

I had nothing but excellent results with factory items, same as Guilt-toy did (GT3540/350rwkw).

It's not all about what looks good on a dyno sheet when it comes to cams and what works/doesn't.

But as per past threads, this will always be a highly trivial topic and there are points for and against.

hmm i saw GTR in avatar and GT2835, surely we are talking x 2 yeah? so big hp big setup?

sorry guys! yeah i meant to say gt2835 52t x2! i think they are a little larger than the hks gt-rs'??

engine has been built, althought its 20thou over i think it adds lik an extra .03lt so still a 2.6lt!

would be looking at something real mid range for these turbos?!

oh yes, also how much lift can i increase before i have to do what ever else to the head. if the lift is increased, what else has to be changed?? springs, lifters, guides, retainers, valves??????

is the head off? as your gonna be limited to fairly small lift cams (the tunnels need machining to allow the lobes to clear)

Not if U use Tomei cams which use a thicker buckets and smaller base diameter cams. I would use 270 duration 10.8mm lift.

For the broken record these are NOT GT28 based turbos even though HKS's handle implies they are . They have cropped GT30 turbines and in todays language are called GT3071R's .

GT28 turbines have 9 blades where GT30's have 10 .

A know a little late now but GTRS's would've probably been a better spec turbo . The cropped GT30 turbine does not like being in GT28 turbine housings and this is what they get in CA/SR/RB26 T25 IW flanged forms . The GTRS's use a GT28 turbine in a matching GT28 turbine housing .

Your call but I'd be trying the std cams first because I don't think twin 2835's are going to be super responsive on 2.6 liters .

Those turbo's without a proper head will be very disapointing...no matter what cams are used. You need lots of air to make them work...something a stock head and small lift cams will not provide.

To give some idea on potential I think Joey here was making something like 270 Kw with one of those 2835 cartridges , admittedly in HKS's Pro S housings , on an RB25 . Even If you could coax 250 odd out of each one in RB26 housing form thats a lot of turbocharger for 2.6 liters .

You really need to look at these "GT2835's" more as a small GT30 rather than a big GT28 .

I know it starts the war but a big twin scroll single with two gates winds up being simpler IMO on an RB26 .

Actually someone I know hasn't found the limits of his 1.06 A/R single scroll GT3582R on a 26 yet , so far 370 kw and climbing as flow restrictions are removed from that car . If he gets towards the flow limits of its compressor thats 470 kw though I think he's chasing 400 at the treads .

na, ithe engine is all together! cause i brought these turbos few months after the rebuild cause i wasnt sure my goals at the time!!

Bugger, i would be looking at using something fairly large 270 10.8mm minimum, you know that setup is good for around 800hp :cool: and Bee-R made close to the ton with a pair.

If it was mine id lash out 280 or 290 11.5mm (and associated head gear)... wind up some boost hold the fk on :cheers:

  • 1 year later...

There's a R33 GTR in HPI issue No. 106 that is running the twin 2835 kit. Its running the 270 10.8mm procams and making 550awhp at 25psi.

Only? Pretty poor result if you ask me! Come very close with a set of 'baby' dash 5's/2530 's on a well sorted engine!

My RB26 made 411rwkw on high mount 2835 52T's on a built engine at 'only' 16psi. Came in at 5,300, full boost at 6,000 and went to 9,500+ power still rising, using 280° 11.5mm cams.

I wouldn't use these as 'bolt-on' upgrade.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
