Hi all , the Pro S versions of the 2835 and 3037 usually work better than generic Garrett versions because they are model specific and tailored to suit the engines state of tune . Its all in the housings and dump .

Good results , I've often wondered how the 0.68 A/R 3037 Pro S shaped up on an R33 RB25DET .

HKS went to a fair bit of trouble with their GT Pro turbine housing and dump pipe for a reason - they work .

Does anyone with access to Nengun/Greenline know what they charge for this kit ATM ?

Are you intending to run the poncams to finish it off ?

Cheers A .

One interesting fact is that if using the OEM exhaust manifold, the HKS housing has to be relieved to match the larger than T3 flange on the manifold. So it bolts up, but still has the same slight mismatch facing the Garrett housing.

I'll have to grab a vid of the garrett equiv to the hks3037s; its quite a bit louder even with a stock air box.

Dale.. A friend recently did this with his gt35r 1.06 iw bolted on to the std exh. manifold and picked up ~20rwkw.

20kW is a LOT. That lip might only be 5mm or so, but it's got to cause problems with achieving smooth efficient flow into the turbine. The stock manifold does a good job, but the system doesn't need restriction like that when it's reasonably easily fixed.

The HKS unit runs a bell mouth insert within the compressor snout. Does anyone know if these are available for purchase? When looking into the inducer of the housing as supplied by Garrett, you can see the square edged lip that the insert sits into. That in itself would not work well for flow, and has to add to the HKS branded item. Just wondering.

I put a video response on that youtube vid of my Skyline (and a mates Supra - unfortunately I don't have video editing software to remove that bit :) ) blatting up the road in a similar kind of way, you can hear my Garrett 56T GT3076R with .82a/r rear housing doing the same thing. Definitely has a noticeable difference in spool sound etc. Exhaust note sounds a bit different though there are a few differences in setup between mine and Jasons - one of the majors being his being tuned on 17psi with 95 octane and mine being on ~1bar on 98 octane.

I agree, that lip would cause a bit of restriction, i didnt even think to check the internal measurements of the stock manifold flange compared to the exhaust housing, would have a gained a decent amount of flow/repsonse/power if i had the turbo matched to the manifold, anyway this might be fixed in the future, i already have a few plans in my head which involve a new custom made manifold :)

      NPboosted manifold fitting purpose

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.

      Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?

      From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.

      3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
