Hi,

I'm in need of a new turbo and want to hear some opinions. Should I hi-flow my current turbo, or should I buy a HKS GT/RS kit from Japan. I want good power but good response on the street. Obviously the hi-flow is a cheaper option so what do I get as a bonus with the GTRS? Does anyone else have these turbo's on their r34?

Cheers, Matt.

Im also looking for feedback on the GTRS when installed in a 34. It's the most likely route i'm willing to take at the moment (Slide seems to have a reasonable price), but just wanted the run down on response times and how streetable it is etc..

Also stock fuel pump and injectors should be fine at this level of modification? Currently tuned to 202rwkw at 9psi (i think its the stock actuator isn't holding boost at top end), so i suppose with a GTRS kit i could achieve around 230rwkw? Does this sound reasonable?

Mods are:

Pod

3" (to cat) -> (cat back) 4" exhaust

Hi-Flow cat

Splitfire coilpacks

Hybrid Cooler

Turbotech BC

Apexi PFC

Sorry for the half hi-jack yellow submarine. :P

Had a slide highflow, see my comments above :P

I'd be thinking along the lines of GTR pump and fuel reg, 480cc injectors minimum....550cc are good as with the GTRS you'll be chasing more Kw just to make use of the better flow and efficiency of the turbo :D

Boost drop on an R34....well that can plague the best of us for reasons unknown. If only it was as simple as actuators :P

GCG Hi-flows are a banger.

Same with the GT-RS

I'd just go on price at the end of the day personally. Whichever is cheaper as from what i've seen here results wise there isnt a lot between the two

Thanks for the advice guys.. Ill have to look into GCG more as i haven't really looked at what they have to offer.

The fuel system suggestions have definitely been taken on board as well.

Would still be a few months off these mods, but i guess i have plenty of time for research hey.. :whistling:

Cheers again

PS: Dan, So you have tried changing actuators with no luck? urgh.. This upsets me.. :whistling:

You name it, it's been changed....last ditch option is to play with the exhaust cam and see if anything can be gained there.

Someone also mentioned a HKS gt 25/40 for quick response and good top end power, has anyone used one of these before? How was it?

Steer clear of the 25/40. Poor response and no more power than the GT-RS.

If I was in your situation i would be looking into a GT3071R, very good results popping up on these forums recently with this turbo.

really up to your budget id say... pay more and get hks rs - ive seen rb25s pull 310rwkw with aggressive cams and stock internals - i think it was stock manifold also! apparently hell responsive.. mind you, i dont know much about the high flow turbo - but with those prices you cant go wrong... plus, i dont know about you but id say 260rwkw is pretty sweet for street trim..

well thats my 2cents :)

Yes HKS turbos are great turbos,but the for the money you could buy a Garrett equivalent and have money left over for lines,dump ect..

GT28RS,GT3071 or GT3076.

Reading your posts i would suggest the GT3071. As it is both responsive and if you squeeze some boost into it can produce the numbers.

But by all means if you want to spend 2K+ on a HKS turbo.....

Hey mate, i'd go for a GTRS kit if i was you, my mate Joey has a highflow from GCG, but it died on him last week, which only last him about a year and a bit, the turbo gets abused a fair abit, because he runs it on track n stuff all the time, depend what you wanna do with the car, and suit the best setup that you need.

I went from highflow to GT2535....I like the HKS turbo's very impressed, so much so I won't consider farting around with a highflow on any of my cars in future, HKS all the way :D

Dan hows your cams going? all sorted? :P

even though mines a 33....My hi-flow died and now have a GTRS being fitted, I'll post results when done :)

i saw your died hi-flow last week :laugh:

it looks dead set.. DIED lol...

Hopefully you get it back soon. :)

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including.

      If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
