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?

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?

      Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
