HKS GT 2835 turbo kit

Hey guys I have the oppurtunity to buy a used HKS GT 2835 Turbo kit and I was wondering how much HP i can get out of my car on PUMP GAS ONLY. I have searched for this turbo and it seems like a lot of speculation but no hard facts.
My mods are:

HKS 272 Intake Cam
HKS 272 Exhaust Cam
full 3" Exhaust w/test pipe
Megan Manifold
Megan 02 Housing
Buscher Racing 10.5 Hotside
Cone Filter
Dynoflash Custom Road Tune
Hallman Pro Set at 20psi
Forge BOV
ACT 6 Puck Clutch
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump

Now if I was to upgrade do you think i could have a 400WHP daily driver or is 400 to high on this turbo? I see some speculation comparing this to the t06-20g so in this case can I be at 400+ to the wheels. Thanks guys for any help I appreciate it

Here are the flow charts:http://ztechz.net/id1.html

I would get a 3076r or a 35r.

Thanks for that link I appreciate it.
Looking at the comparison amongst the turbos. The 2835 has about 88 more cfm then the stock 16g. With that said cant you run 400+ then easily with that type of output. The stock turbo is putting out pretty good numbers. Sorry I am a newb when it comes to this so thats why I am asking.

Thanks<

this is the deal with the kits. I have the oppurtunity to pick up the GT 2835 or a gt35r.
Both being in the same price. The 2835 comes with everything but the downpipe. The 35r comes with the following "Garrett gt35r Turbo kit, megan manifold,tial wastegate, downpipe, garret turbo with atp back housing, the turbo was polished and has under 300 miles on it since being installed in the car... the car was dynoed and made 450 on 20 psi and 93 oct on stock motor!!! im looking to get about $2200 for the kit obo"

Which kit would you guys go with. Also with the list of mods I have what will I have to add to the car to have it run correctly. What I have come up with is 880CC or 1000cc injectors, Arp Headstuds, and I would be getting a jestr tuning flash!

My mods are:

HKS 272 Intake Cam
HKS 272 Exhaust Cam
full 3" Exhaust w/test pipe
Megan Manifold
Megan 02 Housing
Buscher Racing 10.5 Hotside
Cone Filter
Dynoflash Custom Road Tune
Hallman Pro Set at 20psi
Forge BOV
ACT 6 Puck Clutch
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump


Thanks for looking.
Chris

There are several different versions of the GT2835. You need to find out what compressor and turbine trims the particular unit has. HKS rates the "smaller" GT2835 at 380hp and the highest "R" version is 420hp.

it is the R version.

The guy selling it stated his customer put down 500AWHP with c16 on this turbo kit.

I find that hard to believe (maybe w/ a big shot of nitrous). A GT2835 has a the same compressor side as a GT3071 (the GT3071 has a bigger turbine side too and a T3 housing) and you don't see those hitting 500whp. Most GT3076 have a hard time hitting 500whp typically. The "R" kit is the better of all the kits though.

Don't buy the HKS kit, I know a lot will argue and say "It's JDM so its the best" well its not, When those manifolds are pushed they crack, It has happened a lot, I like HKS a lot but I do not recommend there Evo manifold, It has cracked numerous times, The ATP kit I have heard a lot of crap about but also some good stuff, Just do some research on all the parts of the kit instead of just the flow rate. Cause both aren't that great and there are lots of better ones out there, I say look into a 50 Trim Kit.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I would really like to have a 400whp daily driver. I guess I will go with the 35r. Now my question is with my mods. "See First Post"
What else am I going to need. To get this up and running.

The 35r comes with the following "Garrett gt35r Turbo kit, megan manifold,tial wastegate, downpipe, garret turbo with atp back housing, the turbo was polished and has under 300 miles on it since being installed in the car... the car was dynoed and made 450 on 20 psi and 93 oct on stock motor.

I would definately get the HKS GT2835 ball bearing unit. Fast spoolup, instant power and the closest think to stock spoolup you will get.

The ATP proprietary housing that bolts to the stock manifold is the worst piece of crap ever designed for the Evo. GT40R spoolup on a GT35R, no thanks. Hit the gas and pack a lunch as the driver next to you pulls 4 cars on you. Don't make that mistake like others have.
