on the HKS website it still says it comes as a kit, but I think the Kai version is now using the twin scroll version...

slight power increase going by what the translated HKs page says...

I have a used HKS2835pros turbo for sale with exhaust flange if your interested

The 2835 has always confused me slightly, its seems so close to the GT-RS that its place in the market isn't really required? They share the same compressor wheel, with a slightly bigger rear housing correct? Obviously HKS's graph proves the difference between the kits is minimal, to say the least.

I would actually say by looking at the graph that the GT-RS is redundant...

But also the difference between the pros and kai is pretty much nothing in performance, the kai should whistle like a bitch with that front cover though

The Pro S is close to the RS, but seems to have a marginally bigger top end. It is squeezing in between the RS and the 3037 in the HKS range. All three have been around now for quite a few years.

The Pro is the difference, external WG etc etc.

Not sure if you can still get the Pro now though?

I agree, judging by the graph the GT-RS should be dead in the water.

As far as I know no one is doing a "T3" flanged twin scroll twin integral gate turbo so far .

I doubt this situation will last forever since Mitsy has done so well with turbos like this , except in their own flange pattern . Actually HKS is now doing a bolt on BB TS TIG turbo for the Evos 4-9 and its supposed to be a nice if expensive unit .

It looks to me like Garrett is being left behind with wheel designs and trims and it remains to be seen if they'll do anything about it . Slightly larger wheels and or smaller trims is working better for the other turbocharger manufacturers and when you throw in TS turbine housings and port shrouded compressor housings they can be wider ranging things .

You wouldn't happen to know if there's any difference in specs? Externally it just looks like there's anti surge slots, and that's about it!

Assuming you are friends with the OP, did the KAI come with a dump or is it an OEM bolt up scenario?

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
