Hi all,

Just installed a hks 2835 pro s in my r33 - just thought I'd post up some pics of the install.

It took dad and I all day today from removal of the stock turbo to turn key new turbo to do the install.

The kit was pretty easy to fit - quite a bit fiddly getting everything fitting right though as there is a lot of adjustment - you can turn the compressor cover and turbine cover any way so it takes a bit of patience that's for sure.

The new intake pipe doesn't line up (miss by a couple of inches) with the stock airbox so we cut a short length off the standard rubber intake pipe and it fits ok - no problem for someone running a pod though.

Also took a some comparison photos of the stock rb25 det to 2835.

This was a great turbo for me - made good power and didn't miss a beat.

Will be puttering to the exhaust shop tomorrow to get the down pipe made and probably dyno later on in the week.

Something I haven't heard though is a turbo spin for ages like this one after turning off the engine.

Pretty cool - can't wait to get the tune done and see how it goes!

Cheers

This turbo is THE bomb. It is totally awesome for a low mount and internal gate turbo, and makes an absolute weapon of a street car. Prepare to fry your tires like never before!

heres my latest tune. The tuner was wrapped and said it was probably the best street car hes driven, which is a pretty big statement!

281.7rwkw at 17psi. Im told that this is pretty much the maximum for this turbo, which rated at 420ps, is making nearly 500hp at the fly. I know some have seen 300rwkw, but i think that may have been taking measures to hold shut the wastegate! Stock manifold and plenum by the way, only addition are good ol tomei 256 poncams as recommended by SK.

by the way i strongly recommend you make up something like this:

as no gasket comes in the kit, or is even available, and make sure to add a washer between the heat shield and the dump pipe around the top stud AND use some sealant, as we had a problem that the afforementioned washer fixed. (reason is the heatsheild flange is forked, not round, and air leaks from the stud hole out the forked bit of the heat shield bolt flange!

cheers

Hi Sly r33

Very impressed with the dyno result!

How are the new cams? Is the idle very different?

We used coppermix sealand on the dump - hope it holds up! A few people on this forum have recommended it.

Maybe the reason why you have a leak is that copper wire probably has a small leak where it has a break??

I'm just really hoping we have no problems otherwise it'll be hit the spanners again!!!

On a good note I took it for a drive this afternoon with the new down pipe installed along with tech edge lamda sensor unit - good to check the AFR's as I won't be able to get it tuned until next saturday. Man this new turbo comes onto boost hard, and it feels just as responsive as the standard turbo! I didn't go past 40% duty cycle on the injectors - the top end must be pretty impressive! Knock levels were fine too.

I just can't wait to get the tune done now.

Cheers!

the cams are great, no real noticeable change in idle.. i thought it sounded a little more throbbing/pulsing at idle, but its probably psychological as i hadnt heard it idle for ages, hehe.

its quite responsive, but its still pretty far off the std turbo! i think it feels more responsive because you get a heap of torque even while its spooling. Hits hard at 4k, but pulling way below that. I think any more lag and it wouldnt be such a good street turbo so i wouldnt consider any larger exhaust AR. Even with the .68 you can get caught just off boost round some slower corners, doesnt take long to build tho.

make sure you sort your diff out, as you want a controllable rear end when it bags them up! A worn out viscous lsd would be a bit sketchy to say the least.

when do you get your tune and whos doing it?

Good to hear the cams don't affect drivability down low.

I'll be getting my tune done next saturday (the 3rd) in Bundaberg QLD by a guy I've known for years - he worked with chiptorque for six years and has tuned more skylines than I've seen so he should be fine.

If I lived in SA I'd go to your tuner though as he's just tuned yours!

Did it take him long to do the mapping for the new cams?

I've been told it takes about four hours to get it all right.

I'll definately look into the diff - I'm not silly though and take it easy on the street.

Cheers

Reading this is really tempting me......this was the turbo I had planned to get orginally.

But after hearing a few cars I was determined to get a larger turbo with a screamer pipe......god I love that sound.

HI Shonen,

The good thing about this kit is you don't have to modify anything - everything just bolts up and if you want no bling (like me) you can even fit the standard airbox.

Screamer pipes sound good for sure but it'd get pretty annoying after awhile - especially if your wastegate opens in front of the police - the perfect way to get a defect.

And fitting a larger turbo on a custom manifold would be a nightmare - there's not that much space there - the only aftermarket exhaust manifold I'd go for would be a cast HKS item or similar.

Cheers

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't you have to modify the dump for these turbos to just "bolt on"?

Or does the kit come with the modified dump in it?

VV ahh okay, thanks that's what i thought :P

Edited by Beeble

Sorry,

I was talking more about fit up to engine.

The kit comes with its own dump. The only thing that you will have to get is a new pipe made up from the dump outlet to cat. I got it made at my local exhaust shop for $150.

hey, i just got a few question for you and SLY33.

So the turbo doesnt come with a gasket for the dump pipe? so you have to make your own correct?

Also with the HKS dump pipe that comes with the turbo (if u buy the kit), does it bolt into the stock dump pipe postion, as i've been looking into these and it looks like it is the same size as i normal dump pipe (in length) so if you have any aftermarket front-pipe that connects to the stock dump pipe, it would fit?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
