From Grepins Thread, posted by SK   regarding the GT2835proS

Hi grepin, I like it, it has....

270 rwkw at 7,300 rpm

277 rwkw at 6,300 rpm

246 rwkw at 5,300 rpm

210 rwkw at 4,300 rpm

That's an average of 251 rwkw over the useable rpm allowing for gearchanges. There are plenty of cars with over 300 rwkw that don't average 251 rwkw.

I think it would be a nice car to drive, fast and progressive.

BTW guys, notice this dyno run was not in Shoot Out Mode, so no ambient air temperature compensation. If it was a 31 degree day, then on a 19 degree day it's gunna make a smidge over 300 rwkw with an average around 270 rwkw.

Wanna guess what the A/F ratios would be then? In my opinion Mick has done a good job, looks to be both safe and powerful, you don't see that everyday.  

As I said at the start, I like it!

Some more info came to light after that original post that may clarify a few things;

HKS 2835 ProS Internal gate, at 1.65 bar. A Greddy Plenum, after market exh manifold (Tillbrooks), and Sard 550cc inj, PFC computer and Q45 throttle body.
I dont run that boost all the time, however with 10% toluene 28 deg day the worst knock was 21

Personally I like to set up my car so that it has its max power whenever I push the throttle down. I don't want to wait to "turn up the boost" and "stick some toluene in it". I want to be able to go fast anytime I like and for as long as want.

With the GCG ball bearing high flow on the R34 GTT we could turn up the boost (it runs 1.3 bar all the time) and stick some TurboMax in it and make another 35 rwkw. That would bring it up to 300 rwkw, but not EVERYDAY, not ALL the TIME, not WHENEVER I want.

That's the big difference to me personally, other people may well be happy with spending an hour or 2 before they can go fast.:rolleyes:

in regards to grepin running 1.6bar boost and toluene, wasnt that just during early runs? i thought he had a boost leak and got it sorted, ending up with somewher round 280rwkw at 1.2bar with no toluene?

trust33, im not sure why garret and hks equivalents arent the same, but im sure its been covered somewhere else.

 

Also being that all of these turbos are rated at stock boost 10psi or so.So there will be room for more power.

i dont think they are rated at stock boost. i thought HKS's were rated at 1 bar, which may be true for some of them, but say for the 2835pro, it comes with a 1.2bar actuator, so i guess it'd be rated at 1.2bar.

These turbos arent rated at stock boost. From the HKS japan site, the HKS GT2530, 2535 and 2540 are rated at 1bar, and the GT2835ProS is rated at 1.2bar.

Just because ppl call a high flowed VG30 turbo a 3040, mainly because it has a GT30 series cartridge, with a bigger "whatever" compressor, i dont think you are really comparing a real GT30 turbo.

Oz is great as we have so many places playing with turbos, i bet i can go to 3 places and get 3 different turbo combinations despite asking for the same setup, thats the downside of so many places doing their own things with turbos:(

And do you really make mpre power running an ext gate????? Perhaps you may get better boost control, perhaps, but surely it comes down to application, boost and power level, and A/R housing you are using more then whether its an internal gate?

im pretty sure you wont see much of a power difference by having the equivalent turbo in external gate configuration over internal... its just another way of bypassing exhaust gasses to control the speed of the compressor wheel, or boost in other words

only difference being that one bypasses it in the exhaust housing of the turbo, where as the other bypasses the gasses out of the manifold before it reaches the turbine, the power difference could only result from how the exhaust gasses are handled in the bypassing process.. whether its more efficient for gasses to bypass through the turbine housing or through an external wastegate is the question, and will of course depend alot i think on how the external wastegate pipe is integrated into the exh. manifold

roy, so is the Garret GT3040 internal gate turbo previously mentioned, that UAS sell, not a real garret GT3040, but a highflowed VG30??

Dont know about the UAS one, but i know from research just before i bought my turbo setup, there was no consistancy between what the various local turbo companies were offering, even though i was asking the same questions to all of them. But they all called them the same thing and claimed very different power levels.

3040 or not, i think B-man ran one of those UAS turbos for a pretty stout/punchy 250rwkws...so thats good damn power:)

Yep - you are correct there Roy.

And now my HKS 3040 does 330 rwkw :spank:

And - it has just been totally reconditioned with new bearing and seals etc. Is back on the car now and will get a tune (again....) after having the HKS 2835 on it ;)

Got to love the number of Turbos I have had on my car - and the number of ECUs.

Let's count them for fun :

Turbos : Stock, GCG Hi Flow, GCG 3040, HKS 3040, HKS 2835

ECUS: Stock, EMS Stinger, Microtech, Power FC

Now I want one of those Jim Berry clutches everyone keeps talking about ;)

:)

Why would you want to do that GTTR34?

 

Buy the HKS2835S for cheaper if thats the case.

What's the price difference? I'm looking for info on the various HKS 2835 models and different options available.

Yep - you are correct there Roy.

Youve probably posted this already, but what mods did you have with the GCG hiflow and what power did it make?

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
