Hi,

I'm considering buying a HKS GT2835 turbo but i've noticed that there are many versions of this turbo, eg. the GT2835 Pro S and I think just the standard GT2835.I've noticed that the flange types are different on these two models, one having a T3 and the other a T25.

Also, there are different A/R specs on some of the turbos.

Could someone please indicate which would be the better buy for a RB25DET.

Currently I'm assuming a GT2835 Pro S (so it has the T3 flange) with a A/R of 0.68. Is this A/R too small for my car? The other choice is a A/R of 0.87.

Any help would be great. Thank you

Regards

Steve

Pro32 - He specified "RB25DET"...

As an additional question (hope this is constructive for the guy who started this thread, otherwise - apologies) if one buys the HKS GT2835 "Turbo", what do you receive? Is it JUST the unit? Oil lines, dump pipe, etc will need to be made up additionally?

First thing first:

You need to get the T3 flange for a RB25DET, Greenline & Nengun sell the HKSGT2835 Pro S Kit (T3 flange) which gives you everything you will need for just under $4000

I think, but am not sure that the GT2835R is a T25 flange type which will not fit on your rb25det mf...

I see on nengun you can get the kit ($3125) or just the turbo ($2335). I was thinking cause of the price difference would it be better just to get the turbo? Cause surely with the saved money I could get oil/water lines made up and a new intake pipe?

Cheers

yeh its 25 as some have said

from the best of my memory, he got, turbo all the lines oil/water, dump pipe, and a hks heat sheild. it runs on the stock manifold. and it was the kit purchased from nengun, personally i think you are better off buying the kit rather than the turbo itself, kits are made to work

I've got the kit coming with the .68A/R.

You can't get the larger A/R one in kit form - I've tried both nengun and greenline.

If you get the turbo by itself you'll need to make a new dump, and probably new inlet/outlet. The kit comes with everything - new inlet, dump, heat shield, oil and water llines etc.

The .68A/R should give you over 260rwkw without cams if you've got the right other usual mods.

Good luck!

from dump pipe to cat is called a downpipe. When you buy a dump pipe on its own its usually just a stumpy pipe leading to your downpipe. There are guys who make custom dump/downpipes in one piece tho. My HKS dump pipe mated straight up to my 3inch downpipe which used to connect to the factory dump pipe.

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
