Ok guys, i have been doing massive amounts of reading regarding plain Vs ball bearing turbos and it seems the GCG Highflow comes in first with the Sliding Performance Highflow nipping at its heels... I personally think that if your going to something, you might as well do it right from the begining... therefore ill stick to ball bearing turbos Are there anyother altrnative DIRECT bolt on turbo that will push little more power than the GCG highflow? 270 - 280rw/kw? Regards, Sarkis

Sounds good fellas thanks... i think a GCG Highflow seems the way to go although the Sliding Performance's highflow prices and specs looks mighty tempting... Ill keep an eye out for an APEXi PFC although frpm what i been told the HALTEC would be a better ECU especially for later massive power builds (350+ rw/kw) and requires no AFM... Cheers

After getting taught a lesson by a mildly modded R32 GTR the other day, I have been itching for some big power LOL My aim is a mid to low 12 sec pass... im aiming for 250 - 270rw/kw however would like to maintian a stockish look to the engine bay therefore no high mount manifolds.... Now i can save heaps by self installing most of these and by buying them from nengun and group buys... Here is my shopping list so far: - SARD 600cc Injectors - Walbro intank 500HP Fuel Pump - Hybrid FMIC Kit - HALTEC ECU + Tune ($2800 quoted inc Fit & Tune) Note: No AFM Required - Sliding Performance High Flow Turbo Now here is the hard question that has been answered and covered 100 times... what is the best "Bolt-On" turbo for the RB25DET to utilize the stock manifold and dump and also provide maximum average power and reponse? I have look at all the RB25 Upgrade threads and it seems bang for buck, the highflow is the way to go althought they do max out at approx 250rw/kw... the Garrett GT3040 is only about $1300 and can produce close to 300rw/kw but from my understanding a high mount manifold, new dump and IC piping is needed?? Any help wpuld be great.. Regards, Sarkis

Thanks for that guys, ill check all bushes and if all seems well ill try the copper grease...

Also to note... there is no sound at all when the car is stationary and the loudness of "clank" varries due to how hard i push the brakes

You sure that would be the cause? it never did it before changing the brakes... it actually sounds like 2 bits of metal slapping together... Thanks for the advice... Cheers

Hey guys, about 3 months ago i got all 4 disc's machined with new pads fitted by a mechaic and within a week or so i began to notice a "clunk" sound from the front passenger side when i break firmly... it only happens under speeds of 50km/h... I took the wheel off and everything is tight and seems to be in place.. Any Ideas? Regards, Sarkis

Yea i dont think ill let him go just yet... too attached

Thanks for all the PM's guys, and this car does need to go soon so any reasonable offer will be considered...

6 letters in the following consecutive sequence will solve your problem.... S-E-A-R-C-H

If the car is for street use, I would settle for a Hi Flow steel CAT... BATMBL sells them at a decent price ready to be bolted on... I would much rather spend $350 - $450 for a top of the range CAT then gutt the stocker and be in risk for a $10,000 EPA fine... If the car is for track use only, Gutt away My friend gutted the CAT in his WRX and the sound was little more droney in the cabin.. thats all... however did make noticable difference in performance... but then bought a hi flow CAT after the boys in blue gave him an EPA notice... he was damn lucky they didnt call EPA on the spot... Cheers

Hey guys, i tried searching for this with no luck... While bored at work, i had an interesting idea... As history has shown us in the past, the RB26DETT stock set up can unleash massive amounts of power with simple bolt on mods and ECU tweaking... so is it possible to directly bolt on the RB26DETT Plenum + fuel rail + injectors.. etc onto an RB25DET? I know this will then need supporting mods such as FMIC + ECU .etc. Has anyone done this? What power levels can this set up handle? Any info will be appreciated! Regards, Sarkis

One thing i can assure, is that Adam knows his ECU's... he is an expert with Haltec and Power FC! He dynoed my car and was very happy with his service... Did you check out his wall of fame? lol 100 or more dyno sheets Great result btw! Regards, Sarkis

Anyone? Im sure theres someone out there with a FMIC defect! lol

Im pretty sure the talk on cutting foggies refer to the series 1 bar... not series 2... Neat install... DIY?? Cheers

bump!

Price is negotiable guys, open for offers... im just going by how much others are selling them for... Cheers

I upgraded purly to the fact that i will be running 10psi + boost. This will be ideal as a factory replacment if your current SMIC has any damage or wanting to return your car to standard if your wanting to sell. Comes with brackets and bolts. BONUS: I will fix any bent fins and will flush the cooler so that it is like new and ready to use.

Sounding good Tony! Im sure any decent resonator half way will get rid of the drone and yet maintain a deep note as mine has... I get no drone in the cabin, just enough rumble to know your driving a skyline hehe Regards, Sarkis

Thanks Nismoid! Always a pleasure in contributing to the increasing knowledge off Skyline performance.. Hey Andy, Yep all went well thanks and ill do better then a ride, ill give you a run hahahah jk buddy, for sure we should organise a cruise soon.. Regards, Sarkis

Hahaha no problems Tony! Here is a quick vid i took tonight trying to capture the sound of my exhaust... tried getting a shot of the cannon but it was too dark... hope you like! video_0005.mpg Regards, Sarkis

Hey Tony, its similar to the oval body resonator... i was told the "hot dog" style ones went that good... and im extreamly happy with the result... Cheers
