Cams To Use With Hks 2835 52t Turbines

[Turbz_13]

just wondering what duration cams would b the best to use with these particular turbos?

HKS GT2835

Compressor:

Wheel trim - 52T

Inducer Diameter (mm) - 51.2

Exducer Diameter (mm) - 71

Turbine:

Wheel Trim - GT28

Exducer Diameter (mm) - 51.8

Inducer Diameter (mm) - 56.5

i was thinking atound the 260 - 270 degree area.

any help would be appreciated! cheers

post your engine specs.

I'd be saying factory if it's a street car.

I had nothing but excellent results with factory items, same as Guilt-toy did (GT3540/350rwkw).

It's not all about what looks good on a dyno sheet when it comes to cams and what works/doesn't.

But as per past threads, this will always be a highly trivial topic and there are points for and against.

hmm i saw GTR in avatar and GT2835, surely we are talking x 2 yeah? so big hp big setup?

[R31Nismoid]

Oh... missed that one

Whats the power goal? (and ye, what is the rest of the motor )

[Turbz_13]

sorry guys! yeah i meant to say gt2835 52t x2! i think they are a little larger than the hks gt-rs'??

engine has been built, althought its 20thou over i think it adds lik an extra .03lt so still a 2.6lt!

would be looking at something real mid range for these turbos?!

[Turbz_13]

oh yes, also how much lift can i increase before i have to do what ever else to the head. if the lift is increased, what else has to be changed?? springs, lifters, guides, retainers, valves??????

[Turbz_13]

and would stagering them help at all if so what would be the recommended 2 cams??

is the head off? as your gonna be limited to fairly small lift cams (the tunnels need machining to allow the lobes to clear)

Not if U use Tomei cams which use a thicker buckets and smaller base diameter cams. I would use 270 duration 10.8mm lift.

na, ithe engine is all together! cause i brought these turbos few months after the rebuild cause i wasnt sure my goals at the time!!

For the broken record these are NOT GT28 based turbos even though HKS's handle implies they are . They have cropped GT30 turbines and in todays language are called GT3071R's .

GT28 turbines have 9 blades where GT30's have 10 .

A know a little late now but GTRS's would've probably been a better spec turbo . The cropped GT30 turbine does not like being in GT28 turbine housings and this is what they get in CA/SR/RB26 T25 IW flanged forms . The GTRS's use a GT28 turbine in a matching GT28 turbine housing .

Your call but I'd be trying the std cams first because I don't think twin 2835's are going to be super responsive on 2.6 liters .

Those turbo's without a proper head will be very disapointing...no matter what cams are used. You need lots of air to make them work...something a stock head and small lift cams will not provide.

To give some idea on potential I think Joey here was making something like 270 Kw with one of those 2835 cartridges , admittedly in HKS's Pro S housings , on an RB25 . Even If you could coax 250 odd out of each one in RB26 housing form thats a lot of turbocharger for 2.6 liters .

You really need to look at these "GT2835's" more as a small GT30 rather than a big GT28 .

I know it starts the war but a big twin scroll single with two gates winds up being simpler IMO on an RB26 .

Actually someone I know hasn't found the limits of his 1.06 A/R single scroll GT3582R on a 26 yet , so far 370 kw and climbing as flow restrictions are removed from that car . If he gets towards the flow limits of its compressor thats 470 kw though I think he's chasing 400 at the treads .

Bugger, i would be looking at using something fairly large 270 10.8mm minimum, you know that setup is good for around 800hp and Bee-R made close to the ton with a pair.

If it was mine id lash out 280 or 290 11.5mm (and associated head gear)... wind up some boost hold the fk on

There's a R33 GTR in HPI issue No. 106 that is running the twin 2835 kit. Its running the 270 10.8mm procams and making 550awhp at 25psi.

They're the ones i have!

Only? Pretty poor result if you ask me! Come very close with a set of 'baby' dash 5's/2530 's on a well sorted engine!

My RB26 made 411rwkw on high mount 2835 52T's on a built engine at 'only' 16psi. Came in at 5,300, full boost at 6,000 and went to 9,500+ power still rising, using 280° 11.5mm cams.

I wouldn't use these as 'bolt-on' upgrade.
