Hey guyz i just wanna know where i can get my stock turbo high flowed and how much would it cost and the power difference ????

thank you!!!!

GCG do it, they charge around 2k to do a hiflow job, or 1k to rebuild a stuffed already hiflowed turbo.

i would personnaly spend the money another turbo, you can buy my rb25 highflow turbo if you want, recently rebuilt... got papers.

i want more power... :)

I'm getting mine highflowed on Monday :domokun:

This is from Sydneykid himself in another thread:

  Quote
I can't speak about other high flows, but GCG use a brand new dual ball bearing core, new (larger diameter) shaft, new seals, new gaskets, new compressor, new turbine, machine the standard compressor and turbine covers to suite and them micro balance the whole rotating assembly. It's basically a new turbo, everything that is subject to wear is brand new. All the components are covered by Garrett new parts warranty.

It bolts back up exactly as it was when standard, everything fits, no mods, no extra parts, no missing bits, no days waiting for stuff to be made, just bolt it up up and drive away. That is simply not the case with an aftermarket turbo. You will most likely find yourself spending hundreds of dollars more buying and fabricating parts to get the off the shelf turbo to fit.

You can of course buy a turbo with a fitting kit for an RB25 (GTRS for example) but they cost ~$3,200 by the time they get here. That's a valid (total) cost comparison.

have heard of the GCG's making 250rwkw range depends on what you ask them to do. They were also doing specials for SAU members $1800 something like that but that was a while ago.

Yes, another vote for Slide's turbos... PM him and explain what you want, he'll tailor the hi-flow to your specific needs (maximizing power, but reducing the lag). Furthermore, you'll be talking to Slide, not some salesperson who doesn't have all the answers!

All his turbos come with 1yr warranty provided you install and use them correctly. A handmade turbo that's made to spec for your own vehicle + warranty under $1k, where can you go wrong!

You can go wrong without ball bearings.

SAU NSW club members get 10% off at GCG.

GCG highflow = $1950

10% = $195

cost now = $1755

I'm making 255rwkw at 0.9 bar with cams on an auto.

Oh and whoever can get me an HKS 2835ProS for $1750 - I'll take 10.

if you're after a cheap upgrade, go with the t3 off a 300zx (the single turbo version), but these turbos are a little old so make sure its in tip top condition.

hi-flowing one of those would be more beneficial i think.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
