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.

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

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
