Searching on this very forum and the very information you seek about the cartridge is here.

The work was done for you 6 years ago.

And yes, 87 in the housing mouth indicates an A/R of 0.87. If it read 68 it would be the smaller 0.68 spec

Most likely it depends on the production run as to what goes on the plate.

Provided it's got the part/assembly number or the cartridge number(as per your build plate), you've got the right spec. Incidentally you will find that number may sometimes be stamped 700177-5003, or 700177-0003. Fishing around brought up the detail both on SAU and another site called Turbomaster in quick order.

I wouldn't be worried about whether it's stamped with GT2835 or not.

Sweet thanks heaps for your reply man... Now for another question and I know I could find it on here but I'll try you first lol... Do you know how much different the larger .87 a/r is in regards to lag/spool response and power than the smaller .68 housing ??

Ballpark figures for a GT3037 are in the order of 500-750rpm, and ~ 15-25rwkW depending on complete setup and tune. Bigger housing will basically push the torque curve to the right so max power figure goes up.

This unit should show a similar characteristic.

The HKS 3037 pro has a bigger turbine wheel than the 2835 but also comes in the .68 or .87 a/r same as 2835......

So would there still be the 500-750 rpm difference ? Might be less?

Would love to see a dyno comparison of the two turbo housings

Ballpark figures I think the 500-750rpm difference will be similar.

If you've got the 0.87 housing it's not going to prove easy to get the smaller one.

Past experience with the 3037 was that the bigger A/R option was better because it hung on and kept the engine making torque at high rpm. The penalty lower down isn't that great, and the bigger A/R still gave wonderfully progressive delivery.

I wouldn't say that the 2835 will be the same, but it will be fairly similar.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
