I Thought Slides Hiflows Hold 19psi?

[R33GOD]

as topic states. i have a sliding performance hiflow. non max oversize and she runs out of puff at 16psi on my 33 gtst

i thought they were rated to 19 psi?

im not very happy.

fixed the leaking plenum and runing 17...drops to 16 through the rev range. it dosent make any more power after 16.

only managed 231 rwk @ 16psi.

i have all the supporting mods too..injectors,z32afm...ect.

i was expecting alot more out of this turbo.

anyone else have this problem?

cheers

What boost controller are you using? Don't jump to conclusions just yet.

[R33GOD]

im using a gizzmo ibc. with updated software. car was at creatd for 3 days being tuned.

head tuner from gizzmo was also tuning my car. it wasnt a ebc problem.

[R33GOD]

no boost leaks what so ever. it had a boost leak test

[R33GOD]

its not a flaming thread by the way. im just dissatisfied with the turbo not being up to par as advertised

[53XYN]

best thing would be to contact Aron himself and sort this out good luck

[R33GOD]

it probably wont solve anything. im over spending money on power mods

just wanted to see if anyone has/ had the same problem with the turbo.

it is awesome to drive regardless of whats happening. i was just expecting more out of this turbo

I had the same probs... E-01 and all it would get to was 16-17psi... got it to 18 but ran out puff ... although I got 276 rwkw at the 18psi wringing its neck - ended up running around on 263rwkw @ 16-17psi...

Didn't worry about the lack of boost as I had reached the rwkw the turbo was rated at.... Since upgraded to a GT35R... Evil_weevil now has my old hi-flow!

Go to the track and come back and post your mph figure. Forget the dyno.

[Tangles]

16psi max seems a bit low for the turbo, thought youd be able to squeeze a cple more out of it. Ive got the same spec unit as you. being auto with piggybacks/stnd.injectors its about 40rwkw lower then yours at same boost. Mines got more in it tho.

bet you one thing tho - its bloody awesome on the street 'ey? if it aint broke dont fix it, or sell it and buy a name-brand item. for the price they are a good buy, understandable tho youd be pissed with the setup you have not being able to run that extra 1-2psi now and then. at the end of the day tho its just a power figure on a dyno, how it drives is another matter.......................................................

my Stagea is pretty much just nowfinished with the mods, very happy with my turbo choice selection. could have done better for twice the price but had a budget to stick to and will never regret using a Slide highflow. rounds off my overall package quite nicely.

i dont regret the turbo at all. just thought it had more in it. it spools up real quick and im happy with the power for the boost its at. but yea just wanted to run the maximum on it and squeeze more power out of it.

think im gonna take it back to him and run 13 psi again. i made close to 220 rwk on 13. least it will be safer

for the sake of 10-12rwk it'l be on 3 psi lesser, so meh

i thought u made 240 rwks at 14psi

[RB26TTVL]

Hope you spoke to Aaron before questioning his products in forum?

[R33GOD]

i thought u made 240 rwks at 14psi

that was because we started on 19 psi then dropped down in the rev range. tune was all over the place

[R33GOD]

i specifically said this isnt a flaming thread firstly.

i am satisfied on the performance if the turbo at this boost level and wanted to see if people with the same turbo had the same problem.

is freedom of speech not good for you?

what dump/front/cat/catback have you got?

[32vspecII]

when does it make full boost ?

[BAMR33]

230rwkW is pretty decent out the standard hiflow, sounds like your standard actuator is struggling to hold the boost and the gizzmo ebc can't bleed off enough pressure. Maybe run an MBC inline before the ebc to reduce the work for your ebc.

[R33GOD]

what dump/front/cat/catback have you got?

custom bellmouth 3 inch front/dump stainless steel.

makes full boost by about 3400-3500 rpm.

i dont have a standard actuator, i have a hks one. the software in my ebc has been upgraded also
