Hey hows it going everyone,

wondering if anybody could help me, ive been given a blown standard R33 turbo and decided i want to rebuild it and put it on my skyline R33, but hi flowed and i wanted to find out what internals are the biggest and the best to use in producing the most power out of the turbo also if i should use ball bearing or roller bearing and if i should go double bladed also any other ideas thanks guys!

P.S would T4 or T66 blades fit in or could i go bigger and are they good ?

those sort of wheels are way too large for the stock turbine housing. it sounds like the combo would yield a surge monster as the compressor side is just too large. the standard hiflow is good for about 260rwkw with cams so that should be plently. if you want more power then go for an off the shelf item instead of trying to make the hiflow "flow" more as it wont correctly, it could either surge its ass off, be laggy as all hell or not even make more power.

Ive never seen a hi-flow make 260rwkw??

GCGs hi-flow seems to be the biggest and will make at max 240rwkw (rb25 not rb20), but generally expect around 220-230rwkw. You do pay for it though!!

Most hi-flows will get you around 20-30hp more atw and aren't worth their price tags from what ive seen!

My GCG Hiflow has put out 249rwkw to date, hoping for more after exhaust manifold, oil cooler and a better dump pipe have been installed this week

EDIT: That is without cams to, PFC, 16psi, FMIC,Injectors, Pump, Greddy Plenum, Q45 Throttle, Dump / Exhaust / Pod etc.

Ill keep you updated with the figures it makes when i put the other stuff on, i have been told i can expect 370 / 380rwhp @ 20ish PSI

Well im happy to stand corrected!

Very impressive figures, the first thing i thought was 16psi you have a few more psi to play with and then i read the end of ur post... lol

Generally ppl dont use Q45 and Greddy Plenum which would help free up air flows and make more hp which could explain your higher than 'average' figure.

Yeah i have noticed not to many people take the same path i did, i have heard that the hiflows can get up to 20-22psi, so once i get the other stuff fitted im hoping to push as much as i can get out of it (without putting anything at risk of death). I have been considering getting some cams and and an adjustable gear, this might help me get those figures a little bit higher again so im going to look into that tommorow :(

My combo is currently making 274rwkw@16psi with VG30 ext. housing, cams and head porting, on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno. I opted to stop there as my bottom end is still standard, in fact i lowered the boost a fraction to keep it at 260rwkw.

As nice as that sounds the turbo will probably not make your "expected" figure, as i beleive it will run past it's effiency range well before then. I would estimate a hi-flow combo is probably good for about 290rwkw, maybe 300 max. More boost=more heat=declining power line. These turbos were not designed to run such high psi, yes they have been upgraded, etc., but they are still just a small factory turbo. But hey, i wish you all the best.

watch the gcg highflows, had a fellow forum member buy one and bolted it on and found the wastegate mounting spot was wrong and the gate was open fulltime, meaning full boost. not very good at all, and coulda cost him a motor as well, not to mention the costs of reinstalling (over $400) and 5 days without a car as well.

isolated case i know but this still happens so check those actuators r closing correctly before u install them!!!

If the actuator/wastegate was "open" full time the turbo would not boost, thus no harm to the engine. Still a very stupid fault from a turbo manufacturer.

the wastegate was stuck open so i was hitting FB at 4500rpm. I was amazed others with the GCG said it was just as responsive as stock....mine wasnt :)

Its all fixed now, but the $200 i saved on the turbo, cost me $400 in the end to get a workshop to fix it. Kinda annoying as i would have really expected better from GCG. Good turbo regardless, but f**k...annoys the shit out of and my wallet.

Open wastegate= no boost , or very little boost .

Shut wastegate = unlimited boost, only limited by the turbo.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
