Another PM reply sent. I reply to EVERY single PM, eventually. I get 30 or so PM's every day, so obviously I can't reply instantly to every one.

:P cheers :D

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.

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.

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:

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

    • So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.   
    • Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?
    • Bit of a dump of ones I saw on my trip. I also have a heap from daikoko but that’s technically not  on the street 
    • i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.  
    • Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
