GT 2835 is the ideal turbo for skylines!

big 2 make over 350hp (i think its rated around there) & small enough exhaust housing so lag is less.

Only reason why it aint on much skylines are because it has the T2 Flange (GTR,Silvia's etc u get my drift) & to fit it you require a new manifold & a waste gate, & most people wont go to the hassles in doin it.

Unless you pick up a GT2835 package for the rb20/25det from hks etc!

Im pretty sure they will go well above $3000 but god damn it is worth it

$$ vs power it weighs itself down.

GCG Sells HKS GT2835 for $5035.00 so any package for the 2835 under that price is a bargin!.

Joe. <-- the man whose yet 2 fit a t04e into my car!

to meggala and Joe:

I just have problem to have the dump pipe made for the t04E, like I said earlier, I might install the turbo at my place, and ring a flat bed towing to exhaust shop to have the dump pipe made and back..but it might take me ages to put together...

to Joe:

Still have not put the turbo on?

I will chasing up the whole package of the 2835kit..it should land here less then what we expect..

to adam:

I'm not too sure, but from the net, most suggestion are around spool @3000 hit hard@4500 and rated as 400hp..but if running at extrem level of boost with internal mods..then 450~500hp

I will check see what I can found..

was just wondering as im looking at turbo alternatives. the t04e i have now runs HKS everything but is too laggy - 4500rpm full boost

just get a smaller exhaust wheel.

That turbo must be super serious, probably needs to run at very high boost (18+psi). Have you got the HKS specs? could be a 600+hp turbo.

wont that be a bit of a mismatch for the T04E compressor? thats the only real thing stopping me from making the change, the hassle of refitting the turbo. cos id need to same exhaust flange, and the lines and exhaust pipes to fit! the turbo ive got now was obviously bought as a 'kit' and all fits together nicely, just doesnt spool to 4500rpm leaving little to no streetable power

I have a T04e that has a .6 comp and exhaust housing. The one you have is huge and would be of no benifit because the rb20 does need to flo huge amounts of exhaust gassas. Having a small exhaust housing with a bigger comp housing will give different results but would prove to be benneficial and probably not affect your top end.

how do you feel about your T04E?

Changing from a 1.06 to a 0.63 exhaust housing would be the way go. It'll make a bloody huge difference to your lag issue! It shouldn't hurt the top end power too much either.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
