Robbo yes you can buy a turbo from Garrett with the same cartridge but the housings , mainly the turbine side , let it down . If you get in quick and buy HKS's turbine housing designed for their GT2835 Pro S turbo you are 85% of the way there . The other essential difference is HKS's port shrouded compressor housing though you can get a Garrett version of this to suit your turbo . HKS would have used that style of compressor housing for a reason so a good chance it may suffer compressor surge without it .

Costs of component changes could be getting up to the region of the HKS as is .

HKS normally rate their GT2835 Pro S turbo at 420 PS . I imagine you can't buy a 2835 Pro S with the larger .87AR turbine housing because of the lag factor given that a lot of effort went into getting these things responsive . At least they did do the .87 for those that wanted it though expensive not being able to go direct with that option . I'll do a brief GT30 UHP series turbine summary for those maybe not in the know .

1) Unmolested GT30 84 Trim - 60.0mm x 55.0mm .

2) Cropped GT30 90 Trim - 56.5mm x 53.6mm .

3) Cropped GT30 84 Trim - 56.5mm x 51.8mm .

No 1 comes in the real GT3071R , the GT3076R/GT3037 , the GT3040R and hateful GT30/TO4S options .

No 2 comes in a variant of HKS's GT2835R (T28 flanged .86AR) , and Garretts upsized "GT3071R-WG" .

No 3 comes in HKS's GT2835/R/Pro S and junior sized "GT3071R-WG" .

Brief he said ...

All these are squeezed into four cartridge or CHRA types which I'm gassing on about so that those

who want to mix n match know whats what .

A) 700177-0002 Cropped 84 trim turbine with 71mm 52 trim compressor .

B) 700177-0003 Cropped 84 trim turbine with 71mm 56 trim compressor , (see No 3 above) .

C) 700177-0004 Cropped 90 trim turbine with 71mm 56 trim compressor , (see No 2 above) .

D) 700177-0023 Unmolested GT30 turbine with 71mm 56 trim compressor , (see No 1 above ) .

Ok so thats the facts , if you want an integral waste gate and T3 flanged ex housing use either the HKS Pro S type (nothing available for 90T 2835R) on any of the above EXCEPT the real Garrett GT3071R seen above ie No1 and D . For this one you need the new Garrett GT30 integral gate type housing or HKS's version for their GT3037 Pro S . Do not bore out a HKS housing for the 2835 Pro S series because HKS moved the cartridge centre across which you can see if you have a pic of the GT3037 Pro S housing .

This whole business of boring or re profiling non native turbine housings very rarely ever works , it can if the native turbines trim is being increased but OD changes alter the housings nozzle . The only stand out I know of is the GCG Hi Flow and I hope to one day see an exhaust manifold pressure test but thats another story .

Fingers fried , cheers A .

I orderd my GT2835 with .87 a/r and turbineless kit. How much more lagger are we talking about when compared to the .6x a/r? Ive heard they are most affective at around 22psi but from the post ive read on here, it seems like around 19psi and they run out of puff. Im really hoping to crack the 300rwkw mark. I do have cams to help.

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
