hi all ,I recently purchased a hks gt2835 pro s of a SAU member,

ive noticed it has some side play which is a little more than i would like but seems like it would still be ok,

the thing i`m not too sure about is front to back movement.applying forward pressure to the turbine shaft then counter on the comp end i get (without

measuring properly) movement forward and back.enough to clearly see and feel..from what ive read the desired end float is zero,

so my question is ...Is there a ok amount of end float or is it likey in need of a rebuild ?

i dont have a dial guage or the like ,is there another way to measure it ? cheers.

when I had this turbo check by a workshop they did say the movement I was worried about was normal for BB turbo and that once it had oil floating the bearings it would be fine....

they said I was worried about nothing and I took their word for it... it seems once I started searching BB turbos do have some movement in them...

hey cheers,I did consider oil pressure coming in to play,

but with my limited experience with turbos wanted to be sure b4 fitting it up,

"can you take a guess as to how much end to end movement?" At a guess not much more than 1mm or so,its hard to say though.

After what 75coupe said I feel much better about going ahead :cheers:

Thanks guys for your help.

my brand new garrett had .5 of a mm, had it off the car about a month ago (after about 10,000kms), still had .5mm... (or there about, something so small I can only just feel it when I push the blades in - think you'll find it will be quite normal )

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
