upgrading my turbo soon, need your help guys!

I've got 2 options (HKS turbos):

GTRS

or

GT2835

what im after from the car would be for occasional track use, will not be changing internals (yet) so i wont go over that limit... but may also change internals some time in the future (wont be anytime soon). Even if i was wanting more power, it probably wont be more than 350rwkw.

thanks guys!

LOL i said no more than 35rwkw... which means it would most proly be less than that and it wont be done anytime soon aswell. im currently not planning on changin internals, but i would like to leave the option of going further just incase in the future i want more lol

280rwkw sounds reasonable lol

Ammm AFAIK,

There basically the same turbo dude.

The GTRS was released later and has basically the same wheels as the GT2835. The only difference was the GTRS has a smaller compressor cover. Designed to be used as a direct easy replacement to a lot of nissan turbo's.

That said the gt2835 should net more power based on the larger cover.

Neither will make 350rkw. Ther are rated at 400 ps(give or take depending on models). So about 250rwkw is realistic.

Actually the main difference between the GTRS and the GT2835R's is the turbine . Both of these turbo's use varying trims (52T - 56T) of the GT35 series compressor which is 71.1mm OD .

The GTRS uses a 76 trim version of the 53.85mm NS111 turbine in a .64 ARR GT28 turbine housing . The 2835's use a Garrett hybrid turbine that's actually a modified GT30 turbine . These start life as a 60mm UHP (ultra high pressure ratio) turbine which is factory cropped down to 56.6mm OD and is about the turbine size limit of the GT28 exhaust housing - without totally killing the nozzle section . They are made in 84 and 90 trim and have .64 and .86 housings to suit .

All of this was a bit of a desperate by Garrett to fill the void between the 53.85 and 60mm turbines - in other words too much turbine inlet (back pressure) and not enough shaft torque for the larger trim GT35 compressor wheels . Note that HKS uses the smallest compressor trim (52) in the GTRS with the small turbine . The hybrid turbine is a bit of a dog because the hub section is a bit big (restrictive) and heavy for the length of the blades , GT28 housing really a bit small as well .

For an engine needing a T3 exhaust flange there are few GT28 housing options ie the .64 from the HKS GT2530 or the expensive .68 and .87 from the 2835 Pro S .

In my opinion the Garrett GT3071R is a better bet , it uses the non bastardised GT30 turbine with the same GT35 56 trim compressor as the 2835 . If you need an integral waste gate HKS do a T3 flanged .68 and .87 version for their GT3037 Pro S turbos which you can buy seperately . If you look at the Garrett Catalogue PDF it shows the 3071R CHRA and a couple of compressor housing options .

Cheers A .

:confused: shit.....alot of things there that i dont understand lol but thx for the info! (dont know much about turbos =()

My 20 cents....

There is a huge difference between a 250 rwkw turbo and a 350 rwkw turbo. You could stick the 350 rwkw turbo on and keep the boost low for 250 rwkw, but it will be as laggy as hell. People tolerate laggy when they have 350 rwkw, but you will have laggy and only 250 rwkw, not so appealing.

So choose, it's either a 250 rwkw turbo or a 350 rwkw turbo and they are not the same turbo.;)

SydneyKid which do you think is better of for occasional track use? i guess i prefer response as to top hp. hmmm......

I have no personal experience with either turbo, we find the GCG ball bearing high flow to be a great all round turbo, suitable for road, drag or circuit. We have a couple of RB25's with 260/265rwkw and both have more power everywhere than standard. That's makes a great package for circuit work.:)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
