gtst25,

one thing i didnt get in my kit, either that or its not meant to be included, was a gasket of any kind for the exhaust turbine housing/dump pipe flange? there is a groove in the exhaust housing so we made up some copper wire to fit exactly as pictured... it probably doesnt need anything, but i didnt want to have to pull it off again incase there was a leak.

No gasket in my kit either. The copper wire looks good though - would squash down nicely and heat wouldn't bother it. What does everyone else do?

I'll get dad to take some more photos of the turbine wheel bare and some measurements.

Thank you very much great feed back . Pics of the turbine end on and from the side would be great .

While I'm here the numbers on the ID plate would be interesting , my list shows the cartridge or CHRA number as 700177-0003 for th 84 trim turbine and 56 trim compressor . The turbine should merasure 51.6 by 56.6mm (84T) and 53.6 by 56.6mm for 90 trim .

A couple of things to note , HUGE vent for the waste gate (2835) and the model specific outlet flange pattern on the HKS 2530 to suit the RB20/25 dump pipe .

The thing I'm really curious to know is if the HKS GT3037 Pro S has a divider between the turbine outlet and the waste gate vent hole as the turbine outlet is larger again and there's not much meat with the 2835 housing .

Cheers and thanks A .

3037ProS is an external gate only isnt it?

It'd have to have a divider between the turbine exit and wastegate - hell if it didn't you wouldn't have to bother with a split dump pipe - the gasses'd be mixing before they get there. Maybe they can move the wastegate over a bit away from the turbine but if they did that it'd still be a big job to get the housing looking right??

How much larger is the 3037 than the 2835?

hey sly33, has the problem been solved about the gt2835 pro s when it is boosted to 20psi then drops down to 18psi....?

ive noticed a few people saying thats when it boost's to 20 or above it always drops down to 17-18 , i was wondering if it had anything to do with the internal wastegate...?

ID plate numbers:

IA 0156J

GT2835-56T

100177-5003

Turbine dia: 51.17mm top, 56.5 bottom

wastegate dia 35mm

inlet compressor 100mm

outlet compressor 50mm

It's amasing how small the thing is - it must spin like crazy. The turbos on the boat I work on spin @ 56000 rpm - 2070KW per engine. That's nearly 1000 times a second - pretty hard to imagine hey?

The inside of the turbine housing?

Does it have daggy cast marks etc or does it look as if its been cleaned up or possibly really good castings?

I've seen garret items that look pretty messy inside. Bolts poking through in to the comps airflow stream etc.

I'll get dad to have a look when it comes back from ceamic coating.

I don't think he wants to take the compressor cover off - if he dropped or bumped the wheel the wrong way my new turbo would probably go out of balance.

probably upwards of 120,000rpm.

more to the tune of 150,000rpm+

I see the Bandag bullet's turbos goto 180000rpm.

On our MTU's we've got turbo rev counters - must have a magnetised part of the compressor wheel and a sensor bolts into the compressor housing. They run 3.6 bar boost press @ full noise.

Mario dont tell me your getting this turbo ?? haha

Heard you were going for some Apexi item ????

hahah im just intrested thats all ... i was just wondering why it does it ..i was reading from grepin posts with this turbo......yes im going apexi high mount see what happens .

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
