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 .

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
