Haha not quite that stroked we're looking at building a rev happy 2.7 or 2.8. I was bored yesterday so i got a friend to chase some costs and ito build the bottom end is only going to be 4 grand on what my original build cost

I don't think they are 2835s mate. look more like 2530s. 0.64 rear and 0.60 front..... says 2530 to me. they also look fairly small pysically. they could be some other combo but look nothing like the 2835 kits for GTR.

the HKS GTR spec 2835s are completely different and in GTR kits are twin external gate. they also don't have the two bolt standard type inlet that yours have, they have a larger inlet that takes a silicone joiner. same goes for the outlet, either a joiner or a pipe welded straight on.

agreed, dude keep them (double check tag) and put them on, they should be sweet 330-40rwkw

dude, no way would I spend $1500 X 2 on new cores for those. did you see what the big dady 2835 kit just sold for on ebay? $2K and that was for the big 2835s, with twin 60mm HKS gates (cost $1000 each new), twin HKS manifolds with the bridge (hard to find these days) and all the other little bits. that would make your turbos worth about $1000 second hand for the pair. spending $3K on parts + labour (so say $3500) to repair them is nuts. for $3500 you can get a brand new pair of HKS 2530s which are the perfect turbo for your needs. or even cheaper spend $2800 on a pair of garret -5s.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
