I got it out - what an effort :)

[Beer Baron]

Now that's what I call a high flow cat!!

Nice job Brendan. Mate, I'm not too far away, if you need a hand sometime give me a shout. What guys like you an me need though is people with tiny little hands to get in all the tight spaces...

[88silhouette]

good work

i'm down to 10 beers to watch pete pull turbos out

[B-Man]

Richard - I have no clue what you are talking about.

Well - nearly got the HKS 2835R on now - Pics to come.

I got one nut on the turbo flange to go - that's it - It's a tricky little bugger - You are right Richard - I need someone with small fingers and hands to get it started.

So should be back on the Rd soon - need a reducer/silicon 90deg bend if anyone has one lying around.

Then small adjustment to the tune to compensate for the slightly smaller turbo - and Bob's your Uncle.

Cheers,

Just wait 'till 3pm, then head down to your local High School as the year 7 kids come out just offer one of them a free ride in your line if they'll squeeze their little hand in there and start the nut for ya. Wait a minute, scratch that, possible persecution as suspected peadophile might make this one for plan B. Instead just keep fu:)

Good job. Now I wanna know when you can take me for a spin!

[Beer Baron]

hey!! I am missing something? I just saw the words HKS2835R in your post? what happend with the 3040? I though it was the shiznit? just a check/fix needed then back on it goes?

Will still be a weapon with the 2835, I imagine it will come on boost pretty hard and early compared to the 3040.

[fatz]

what ya doing with the 30 40 bman

might need a rebuild and a new home on my gtr motor

[Doctor]

Changing turbo's at home = Dick

[B-Man]

Nah - a challenge

Richard - 2835 is interim - whilst I decide on 3040 options. Also to see the diff between the 2835 and the 3040 with the same setup.

Options for 3040:

a) GCG Rebuild $950

B) New Garrett CHRA from the US $ approx $1200 delivered

c) GCG Rebuild and new compressor - prolly about $1300

d) looking at other options too - anyone got any other thoughts ?

With the new Comp wheel - should be a beast. But where to use all that goodness ?? ha ha ha

[B-Man]

And the HKS 2835 is in - minus 90 degree elbow as you can see (anyone got a 90 deg silicon bend ????)

[siksII]

i feel sorry for your tyres..

good work.

[fatz]

so what is with the downsize????

[B-Man]

Prolly just a temporary measure Pete - until I work out what to do with the 3040.

[Beer Baron]

B-man, I don't have a 90 deg elbow handy, but if you can wait while I nip down the shops I can "fabricate" one for you using cardboard and masking tape. Trust me bro, my bother uses these hoses on his 8 second RX3.

Fully.

2 things I forgot to mention:

1. Damn it looks so small after the 3040

2. High mounts make everything soo much easier to get to

Richard

[croat]

does the 2835 fit on the standard low-mount set-up?

[B-Man]

Croat - what you are after is the 2835 Pro S

The 2835 you see on my car would neva fit on a low mount

[Roy]

LOL... "Where does he get those marvelous toys!"

You really, now more then ever need to throw me the keys to your car:) I suspect you will end up keeping the 2835, it will tear the tar off the corner exits at Wakefield:)

[B-Man]

Well boys - it lives.

As it turned out, I had a 90 deg reducer bend left over from one of the other turbos I had on my car at some stage

So it's running - I took it for a burn tonight - boost comes on heaps earlier - I can tell cause the BOV makes heaps more noise, and earlier, compared to when the 3040 was on.

My dash lights are all busted (fuse I think and havent been f'ed fixing it), so I couldn't see tacho and boost guage - tomorrow , I'll get a much better idea of what is happening.

Quick tune to make sure everything is in order and lets see what happens.

Shit I have learned a lot about turbos doing all of this.

You can theorise all you want - but see shit for yourself really drives home the differences in compressor size, AR, turbine size and what effects these have on the charactaristcs of your turbo/engine combination.
