Rated at 420hp, a mate of mine has a 2835ProS on RB25, makes 300+rwkw. Runs a .64 exhaust housing, internal gate, very responsive

On a RB20, it might be a little laggy, but with a decent manifold, decent boost (1.5bar) and maybe a set of cams, it would probably work alright on a RB20. If I you could though, maybe try and swap to a .64 exhaust housing. Would make allot of power, thats for sure

At the wheels? so around 220rwkw

I'd say get a 2530 then if you want response. If you want mega response but slightly less power 190-200rwkw then get a 2510 like I have

I want more top end, so will be looking at getting a 2530 at some stage

Sounds llike with your maniflod though you could go for something external gate, most external gate turbo's sacrifice some response for more power up top. 2530 will bolt up to the standard manifold

You have some conflicting information and there are lots of variations in the 2835 series .

You describe it as a 56 trim compressor while its ID tag reads 52 trim .

There are 3 HKS turbos listed using the 700177-0002 CHRA . Generally the variations are housing style and ARR . From what I can tell the compressor covers on all HKS2835 series are .50 ARR T04E . What they call GT2835 have 70mm (2.75") inlet barbs and 50mm (2") outlet barbs in 380/400/410 PS versions . The GT2835 "Pro S" and "R" versions are 100mm in and 50mm out .

HKS lists your version as using a T25/28 flanged GT30 external gate exhaust housing in .61/.73/.87/1.01 and 1.12 ARR's . The .86 ARR housing you mention should be a T25/28 flanged GT28 integral gate housing .

Garretts engineers don't like the GT30 based turbines when used in bored out GT28 housings and prefer them in GT30 housings .

That turbo on offer would be a really good thing if it had HKS's GT Pro S integral waste gate exhaust housing on it . I'm curious to know what a good deal means ie good price or good sales pitch . The choice of exhaust housing will make or break its effectiveness and if it has the wrong flange for your manifold the effort to make it fit is not cost effective .

To get the best out of it on the RB's exhaust manifold it needs that housing which has the necessary T3 flange to bolt up .

Good turbo "deals" often go sour when fortunes are needed to hang them off the engine . So if its a $1000 turbo (yeah right) I'd grab it , it its a $2200 turbo I'd ask them to lightly grease and .......

Cheers A .

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
