on the HKS website it still says it comes as a kit, but I think the Kai version is now using the twin scroll version...

slight power increase going by what the translated HKs page says...

I have a used HKS2835pros turbo for sale with exhaust flange if your interested

The 2835 has always confused me slightly, its seems so close to the GT-RS that its place in the market isn't really required? They share the same compressor wheel, with a slightly bigger rear housing correct? Obviously HKS's graph proves the difference between the kits is minimal, to say the least.

I would actually say by looking at the graph that the GT-RS is redundant...

But also the difference between the pros and kai is pretty much nothing in performance, the kai should whistle like a bitch with that front cover though

The Pro S is close to the RS, but seems to have a marginally bigger top end. It is squeezing in between the RS and the 3037 in the HKS range. All three have been around now for quite a few years.

The Pro is the difference, external WG etc etc.

Not sure if you can still get the Pro now though?

I agree, judging by the graph the GT-RS should be dead in the water.

As far as I know no one is doing a "T3" flanged twin scroll twin integral gate turbo so far .

I doubt this situation will last forever since Mitsy has done so well with turbos like this , except in their own flange pattern . Actually HKS is now doing a bolt on BB TS TIG turbo for the Evos 4-9 and its supposed to be a nice if expensive unit .

It looks to me like Garrett is being left behind with wheel designs and trims and it remains to be seen if they'll do anything about it . Slightly larger wheels and or smaller trims is working better for the other turbocharger manufacturers and when you throw in TS turbine housings and port shrouded compressor housings they can be wider ranging things .

You wouldn't happen to know if there's any difference in specs? Externally it just looks like there's anti surge slots, and that's about it!

Assuming you are friends with the OP, did the KAI come with a dump or is it an OEM bolt up scenario?

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
