Hi Lee, sorry that the PM inbox was full, I received more than 100 PM's over the weekend. The turbo for high flowing had a cracked turbine cover. I have been searching for a replacement, success today, one is one its way to GCG.

:( cheers :D

SWEET AS!!

thanks for the update Gary...

When do you plan a NEO GP buy?

Do you have any info on the NEO Turbo?

Does it come on boost earlier, later or the same as stock?

Std NEO has nice low down torque & am not real keen on loosing that.

I don't have a Neo turbo to exchange, if you can find me one for a decent price, then I will organise the Group Buy.

The Neo turbo has a larger turbine cover (same compressor) as the RB25DET (non Neo). Hence it is slightly slower to build boost, but it gives around 10 rwkw more max power.

My R34GTT had more power everywhere (idle to redline) with the GCG ball bearing high flow on it than when it was stock standard, That was with 98 ron fuel, using 100 ron fuel would improve that even more because I can add a fair bit more ignition advance.

I tuned an R34GTT with a GT30 last week and improved the 1 bar boost from 4,500 rpm to 3,800 rpm. So, as usual, it comes down to tuning.

:) cheers :O

Thanks for the info, are there any disadvantages with hi-flowing compared to changing turbo outright?

Seems to be some varing opinions on hi-flowing.

Seems to be some varing opinions on hi-flowing.

The big advantages of a GCG ball bearing high flow;

1. Fits back on exactly as it came off, you don't have to make parts, buy parts or pay for parts. All the necessary gaskets and seals come with the turbo. Pay $1750 and that's it, fit it and tune for it.

2. The result is well known, stick some cams with the high flow, decent FMIC, injectors, fuel pump and 3" exhaust and you will get 265 rwkw if it is tuned correctly

3. More power than standard everywhere, that's from idle to redline. You have to be very good at choosing turbos to duplicate that.

4. Legal, not defects for fitting a high flow, looks exactly the same as a standard turbo.

5. It's a ball bearing water cooled core (not a plain bearing, oil cooled core).

The advantages of an aftermarket (replacement turbo);

1. Any power output you like, trade off response and lag to max power to whatever level you want

2. All price ranges, plain bearing oil cooled turbos are cheaper than high flows

3. Cheap, second hand turbos are always available

4. High mount, external wastegate whatever you want/can afford

5. No guaranteed result, if you choose right you will get a good result, if you choose wrong you won't

As they say horses for courses, if you are after a simple bolt, legal, no more to do solution and your power target is up to 265 rwkw then you can't beat a high flow.

:( cheers :no:

Hmmm, thanks for info! Might have to start takin' the wife out for tea! :(

Did the $1750 include feight there & back or just back or no freight included?

Any Updates Gary!!!

Man... 6 weeks and counting.....

he he he you said a week in orginal post....

hmmm... being patient but 6 weeks is still a very long time......

sorry to keep bugging you but i hope you know what i'm feelin here.

Oh well... Waiting on your reply...

Thanks

LEE

PM Sent, I am sorry for the protracted delay. There are 2 turbos in the exchange program, one hasn’t come back for 6 weeks. The guy hasn’t removed the exchange turbo from the car yet and he already has the high flow. This has taken one turbo out of the rotation.

Unfortunately the other turbo that came back on exchange had a problem. It had a cracked turbine cover and I have been searching for a replacement for 4 weeks. I finally found one yesterday and GCG did the machining last night. So Jamex will be sending it out to you tomorrow, it will go Priority, so you should get it Friday.

Once again I apologise for the delay.

:D cheers :)

Any luck with finding an r34 turbo to start the next group buy SK???

I have done a couple of high flow R34GTT turbos for guys, there is one at GCG right now as it happens. But they have supplied the turbo for high flowing. When I find one I will start a new Group Buy as I have done for the R32GTST high flows.

:blink: cheers :D

:sleep: i got my turbo to day!!!

i took a while but...

Oh well you get that....

i cant wait to put it on!!

Thanks Heaps Gary....

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
