Minor Service Major Snowball R33/rb25

[R31Nismoid]

around 15-17psi.

There are THAT many people making 250rwkw on stock plenums using 15-16... that IMO, there is absolutely no need to change it.

IF you want... by all means do... but the money can be better spent elsewhere

People with plenums havent posted results that look much different to the equivs running stock items.

Thanks for helpin me out Nismoid, top bloke

I've also heard that everything is fine as i've got but if the boost goes up the turbo changes along with fuel pump and injectors. Last thing how much roughly is it all gonna cost, cause i'll just save up the bulk and get it all done. How hard is it to do. ie easily to reach or fiddlely. I should be right to do it myself or would u advise against it?

Turbo $1750.

If you have a couple mates around one arvo you should be able to remove/fit it.

Its just time, removing parts, and making sure you remember where they came from.

I've pulled my old setup apart, which was far more involved and it took me about 10 hours on my own in total, and im hardly skilled with a spanner.

So with help you should breeze through it if you do it over a weekend

Or a workshop might do it for $400.

Remember you gotta send the turbo off for hi-flowing and that probably takes a week turn around or there abouts.

Also, replace the manifold studs, each one of them, and the manifold gasket.

Saves you doing it later on as its likely to die.

So overall, turbo + studs/gasket etc its around 2k including the slab for the boys if you DIY... or 2.5-2.7k if you dont.

Cheers

Thats with no injectors or fuel pump hey, how are they with fitting?

Theres a turbo place in port kembla that just gives u a turbo they've high flowed and u give them your old one and they get it ready for the next bloke who wants one... The GCG hi flo.. its just a high flowed stock turbo isnt it?

Hey Nizmoid?? And to imply hidden agenda, grow up??

Dude out of all the turbos on the planet why GCG there are so many options?They dont make em, they fixem/rebuild em?Never will they be better than a built/made high performance turbo built for high performance

and not just FixXed to take a bit more.

Imply! Dont think so! your response was admission by default!

Grow up! Naa man i dont think so the B.S starts when you turn into an adult, Kids Rule!

Mate no one cares what u say anymore, your a drop kick that thinks he know everything... If you did why are u posting on here asking questions insted of answering em?

One reason why the GCG highflow is recommended is because it's a ball bearing highflow rather than the bush bearing that most places do.

There are plenty of threads discussing the difference so it doesn't need to be done here but some of us think the ball bearing ones are much better.

Also GCG have been doing them for a long while and they have gotten better with practice.

There are lots of different turbos out there. The fun is in figuring out which one will suit you and getting out there.

Oh and also, with cams a couple of us are making 250+rwkw with less than one bar of boost.
