Yes bang for buck with this 2835 KAI could be OK . Provided HKS have just machined out their "T3" flanged 0.64 A/R GT28 turbine housing this opens up a few more doors if say you have a T3 flanged GTRS .

If think about it the GTRS already has a port shrouded comp housing on the cold side and it wouldn't be terribly hard to get a cropped GT30 turbine fitted to its cartridge . Again provided the KAI uses the same turbine housing as a GTRS should be able to be machined out for the larger cropped GT30 turbine and you end up with a 2835 KAI but with a 52 trim 71.1mm compressor .

I'll have to check some pics and specs because there is a remote possibility that the basic comp housing used on the 2835KAI is same/similar to the GTRS .

Simple effective upgrade for those wanting a tad more from a GTRS ? A bit less turbine inlet pressure anyway .

Keeping these points in mind, a common fault in tuning is setting a high gain to acheive target boost as quickly as possible, yet have boost drop off in the higher RPM. Obviously based on the above the best way to tune would be to start with a low gain and work your way towards target boost by upping the duty cycle.

How is gaining up to 50hp through the midrange and maybe losing 5-10hp top end a fault?

In the powerFC boost control all you can change is boost pressure and duty cycle

so to bring boost on asap would I increase the duty cycle or lower it?

and will this change the final boost pressure?

I think the FC boost control kit has boost and gain? Or it might be boost and duty?

I can't remember, all I know is that the number that is usually 255 when you first enter a boost setting changes over time so I figured it would be gain that ou adjust going on the explanation given a few posts back but it could be duty, been to long since I played with it lol. But that's good info. I now understand what gain and duty do now

Should make it easier when I go to setup the KAI

I've found when playing with it, adjusting the duty or gain, whichever it is, will change the boost you get. I think with a low setting I had it hit about 8psi then start creeping up. But again it's been a while. I know it hit a certain boost then creeped up or down from there but so playing with it to much will change your boost

Gday Cal been reading up about your 2835 Kai hope you have some good luck getting it right id like to know how u go with it mate cos im getting the same kit through streeter its due this time next month. Id like to know what kinda figures you make when you get it dyno tuned mate hopefully its something simple i cant imagine that HKS could of gone too far wrong with this kit considering how good the Pro S was for the RB25s Please keep us posted on what you come up with mate

CHEERS

Mick

No i havent ordered it yet and yes i can see its not looking good at this stage for the Kai kit!

Not compared to the Pro S!

Im keeping my eyes peeled in here to see what the outcome is with this drama with the power figures.

i maybe have too much faith in HKS thinking that they couldnt of gone that wrong with the Pro S replacement cause the pro s was a monster!

I didn't make the same headline numbers as some other people here at SAU with the ProS but I put this down to the variation in car setup, dyno, tuners and the lack of desire to wring the neck of the turbo to make a peak power number.

I think the kai will prove to be a good bit of gear when we see more results.

Not sure what most issue are about having the big top end number, it should be able drive-ability on the street, well it is for me...

My KAI gets me to over 400Nm before 3500RPM and max is up over 450Nm by 4500RPM.... also my power line builds faster that my stock turbo did and does not die off until redline... power is 350Hp up around 6300RPM...

most drive-able 350Hp car i have driven... i even save fuel now as i dont need to drive as hard to get some boost as before....

as said i think too many look for the big end power number but forget about driving under 3500RPM on the street...

just my 2cents after having this turbo on my car... still need my tune to be touched up as well which should see it a bit smoother and maybe slightly better numbers.

89CAL,

NISMO fuel pump

800CC Power Ent. Inj.

Z32

Power FC

Blitz EBC

genreric FMIC

3" zorst come from Japan, bellmouth dump, and some hi-flow cat brought over 4 years ago so can't remember brand

stock AirBox with no cover just a mech grill on filter...

nothing else except a new clutch and a healthy engine according to the tuner.

Mick_o,

yeah i am very happy with this for on the street as i said i get boost better than my stock turbo and am actually using less rev's to drive as the car feels a lot more lively now....

I have a very similar setup.

Nismo 555cc injectors and a K&N pod being the only notable differences.

What AFR and what sort of timing are you running around the top end (if you have that information handy)

Sorry for that i am not too sure.... i would have to ask my tunner next time i see him so i dont give you mis-leading info...

Not a problem

Having a copy of the tune to compare would be great, but I'm not going to ask for that as I know the answer I/You will get from the tuner lol.....

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
