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

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
