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?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
