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.

    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
