guys what is the main diff between the 2 turbos below:

HKS - GT Sports Turbine Kit - 2835

HKS - Turbo Kit - GT-RS -

now why i ask is apprantly there both rated at 400ps.

so yeah me confused.

anyhelp would be good ;)

thanks in advance

Actually both use the Garrett 71mm GT35 BCI 18 series compressors in 52 trim though optional on 2835's 48 and 56 trims .

Main difference is the turbine , GT-RS is the fancy name for a Garrett GT2871R with the middle or 52 trim compressor . All 3 2871 cartridges use the 53.8mm GT28 turbine in 76 trim (NS111 type) . Also avail in 48 and 56 trims .

HKS GT2835 and some Garrett GT3071R's (WG type) same cartridges use a 56.6mm cropped GT30 UHP turbine .

The theory is larger turbine makes for better "balance" of compressor to turbine size ratio .

Make careful note that HKS generally stick to smaller trim compressors than Garrett do - the result is better response or lower boost threshold if you like .

As for the 400PS , the GT-RS would be on its knees from a turbine inlet (back) pressure point of view .

PM me if you want all the numbers n bits n pieces .

Cheers A .

GTRS's on gtr's are capable of much more than 300awkw. how ever were talking about just a single turbo kit.. the disco potato is a GT28rs rated between 320 and 350 from memory and they are a excellant turbo for a sr20 for response

from memory there was someone of the forum makeing 270rwkw in a 33 gtst with a hks gtrs and suitable mods to go with it

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
