Im looking at buying one of these for my R33 and just thought I'd do some research in the mean time

I have stock turbo at the moment with X-Force exhaust, turbo back. It looks like the dump will fit directly to the back of the RB25 version of the 2835 but thought I'd ask if someon knows for sure first hand

Also I have a front facing plenum setup with a plumback arangement that is a bit different and just wondering about the inlet size of the turbo cause I can quite work out how its set up and what size it is

At the moment I have a 45 degree silicon bend coming off my turbo (2.5 inch) that goes to my intake pipe which expands to 3 inch before the AFM. The pipe has been customised to suit the stock rocker cover breater and have a plumback BOV ported into it.

Any help, pictures etc would be much appreciated :)

Thanks

Callan

yeh? I was just hoping i could use my existing dump but oh well.

Think im gonna have to try and work out what to do with the intake pipe when i get the turbo but yeah think its just gonna be a bit of mucking around

How did you rate difficulty/problems with installation? Anything else I should know?

Thanks guys

A new intake pipe shouldn't be much of a worry.

The only other thing is the dump position, might not be exactly the same meaning a new pipe to the CAT...

But otherwise nothing a exhaust shop can't do (if you can't), and same for the intake piping really :yes:

Just sell the old dump - more cash in your pocket!

Pro S kit comes with an intake pipe too.

The dump will fit up perfectly with a stock type front pipe, When i helped a mate fit his he had a second hand trust dump which fit fine

Installation is a breeze. The hardest part is getting the water feed behind the head in.

yeah the only problem with the intake pipe provided is my pretty.... i dunno if ud call it complex but yeah its a bit tight, BOV plumback setup with my front facing plenum... Guess ill just see how i go and if i have to get a new pipe made up or get something modded then it shouldnt be to major

thanks guys, now i know the possible problems im up against.

whats the deal with the water feed line? just a bastard of a spot to get to?

200 to 260 is a big jump, though you'd only notice it after like 4500-5krpm, but it really must have felt like you were being glued to the chair after that :)

I'm curious though, isn't the 2835 a high mount? If so, why would the intake change? I mean, the piping won't match exactly, but it isn't like there is a lack of room in that part of the engine bay.

plus my stock turbo only has a 2 inch (or is it 2.5"?) inlet so my intake pipe is much smaller but also custom made to suit my setup so the hks item will have to be modded or ill have to change it with another custom one

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
