Hey guys, after some extensive research, I have decided to high flow my stock RB25DET turbo. Precision Turbochargers in Wetherill Park are quoting $1650 for a maximum oversize stage 3 ball bearing high flow with Garrett internals rated at 450 – 500HP… They were so helpful, honest and very friendly. I have asked a few local performance shops including V&E Rigoli and everyone seems to highly recommend them… One shop even told me of an R33 with their turbo and all supporting mods topped 282rw/kw in shoot out!

The reason I’m considering these guys apart from their excellent customer service is that they are around the corner from me and will do the high flow in one day.. drop off in the morning pick up in the afternoon…

Are any of you guys using or heard anything about their High flow turbos??

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Regards,

Sarkis

Hey Sarkis,

Hey you doing mate? I know the name of the shop but unfortunately don't know much else. I am interested in hiflowing my turbo as well mate and since we're pretty much neighbours, do you think they'll give some sort of discount if we get both done at the same time?

Also, was that price including change of turbo or the cost of the turbo itself only? I'm looking for around 240-260rwkw so one of these sounds like they might do the job. :) If the stage 3 is rated at 450-500 what is the stage 1 and 2 rated at?

Cheers,

Andy

Hey Andy, im well thanks buddy and you?

That price is to give them your turbo and get it highflowed and they can do it within a day if u arrange it with them.

the stage 1 & 2 are journal bearing and rated at approx 400HP which should produce 230 - 240rw/kw and they are priced at $1350. If you want an excellent service and deal, check out SLIDEING PERFORMANCE's High Flow package.. its an unbeatable price and Aaron is a top bloke... the only reason im considering Precision Turbo is cause its a BB highflow...

Any feedback on these turbos will be appreciated guys!

Regards,

Sarkis

I don't see the point in paying $1650 for a high flowed turbo with the prices of some bolt on replacements these days. $1650 buys you an aweful lot of NEW turbocharger these days.

Hey fella's, ill ask if we can organise a group buy however as far as value for money, Sliding Performance takes the cake! im 100% sure that Precision turbo wont match or beat Aarons deal in the journal bearing high flows.

As far as the Ball Bearing high flows, im sure we can get a much better price then the GCG Highflow price, cause already without any discount Precision Turbochargers are cheaper than GCG so with a group buy or even an SAU exclusive offer i can probably organise a real good deal... ill get back to you guys asap!

Maybe so, but many of our cars are daily drivers and would like to maintain the "stock" look under the hood.. not to mention the requirement of new oil, water lines and adaptors for most new turbos... so therefore the highflow is best streetable option as stated by many of the best tuners... However, Trooper has advised me that Garrett are releasing a New RB25 bolt-on turbo and has been shown to produce 260+rw/kw which im also very keen on... release date is in feb for this new turbo so its price will determine wether i highflow or get this new Garrett... Just considering all my options...

Anything cheaper then the Sliding Performance High flow will be nothing but a Sunbeam Hair dryer... At Sliding Performance's prices, he is getting orders WORLD WIDE! So if your after a quality job at an unbeatable price, contact Aaron at Sliding Performance...

If your after a Bolt-on Ball Bearing Highflow, Precision Turbochargers have an excellent price and service and might try and organise a group buy asap... or GCG's highflow for $1750 SAU price...

Cheers

Yep they sure do Dave, and even less for exchanging your turbo.... thats why they have best bolt-on turbo package you will ever find, however for those who are wanting a BB highflow, GCG was thought to be the only decent place to get it done... Now i have Precision Turbocharges and have an excellent reputation with all the top performance shops in the area as well as offering a better price than GCG... all of V&E Rigoli's cars are using their turbos...

Is BB more reliable or can you run more boost with BB?

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
