i found this info on the forum- as i am looking at turbos aswell

HKS GT2835 technically they are a GT3071R 56T in cropped turbine form.

Using the current Garrett terminology means its easier to compare turbos because their formula tells you the turbine family ie GT30 followed by the compressors major or outside diameter in mm . If you apply this then you can see that a "GT2871R 56T" and a "GT3071R 56T" use the same identical compressor wheel .

The turbine side is quite different the GT28 series turbo having a 53.8mm 9 blade 76 trim wheel and the GT3071R in cropped form has a GT30 10 bladed wheel at ~ 56.6mm and 84 trim . The HKS GT2871R 56T uses a custom GT28 turbine housing with the T3 flange cast into it and in 0.64 A/R . The HKS GT3071R Pro S uses a custom GT30 turbine housing in 0.68 or 0.87 A/R ratio , it also needs their unique dump pipe to suit their custom housing

It's very hard to tell you what it is without knowing the part number.

If you could look at the tag and try and find a number that would resembles '700177-0010' we could then tell you what turbo it is.

It is likely to be the HKS cropped version of the 3071 as mentioned above, however it could be a number of variants which would change its suitable application.. Some were made for single use, others were made for twin kits like on GTR's.

Please post the part number that is similar to what I have posted above.

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 😄
    • They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 😅   You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car
