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

[paulr33]

the kai model might be part of their reloaded project

sounds good if its twin scroll

is it twin scroll for all models or SR only option?

underwhelming really, a complete re engineer and tooling up for minimal gain.......I thought the benefits would be more.

where's disco - the champion of twin scroll - he'll have an opinion on this?

haha I read that, looked at the bottom of the page and sure enough Disco is reading lol

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

[tridentt150v]

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?

[bozodos]

It's similar to a GT3071 from my reading, and also appears to have a bit more top end.

Wouldn't twin scroll make it spool even faster?!

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

[wolverine]

The HKS GT-RS and the HKS2835Pros do not share the same compressor wheel. 52 trim vs 56 trim 71mm.

[Granthem]

Ohhhh I thought the SR20 GT-RS was 52 trim and the Rb25 version was 56 trim. Well there ya go, cheers

[bozodos]

So it would be safe to assume that the KAI is merely an improved version of the 2835. The OP has been having a lot of trouble with RHDJapan about this, given that they still have the 2835ProS kit listed on their website.

the turbo FINALLY arrived, however an initial look at the housings is making me think it isn't in fact a twin scroll turbo? (forgot to take pics unfortunately) It does have some awesome looking anti surge slots though

[discopotato03]

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?

[bozodos]

It looks like it's an OEM bolt up type rear housing, the original 2835 Pro S kit came with a dump, this one didn't. Do the kits which come with dump pipes have a different type of exhaust housing or something?

[CeJay]

So anyone else have any further info on the KAI?
