what price were you quoted from GCG and what does it include?

XTRGTST-S1

The factory Turbocharger on a Nissan Skyline R32/33 GTS-T is a Ball Bearing, T3 sized unit, with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit, GCG replace the ball bearing pack with a new one, while replacing the Turbine wheel and Compressor wheel with larger steel wheels, making the Turbocharger Hi-Flowed Compressor, and Turbine end. The upgrade Turbocharger bolts directly back on the manifold with no modifications required, using the factory oil and water lines. After the Upgrade, the Turbocharger is rated 450hp.

Turnaround: 2-3 days.

Price: $1950.00

that doesnt change with the kit, or so im told. its supposed to bolt straight back up like the standard one, as it should as nothing from the out side is changed.

im also contemplating getting one of these GCG turbos. whats there quality like? and power figures? ive seen them get 230rwkw quite well and thats the power i want, but are they the best turbos for that power figure regarding response and reliability?

ive asked around quite abit and so far im leaning towards this turbo, what do yous think?

^^ completly wroung.....

evil weevil run's a hks gt-rs, far better then a 2530....

also there is no modification's needed to run a highflow turbo EXCEPT in some case's depending on the style of highflow your oil supply line might need to be enlarged a lil..... atp,precision are some other's in sydney.

My bad with Evil's setup..

My turbo is Precision so in my case it was a slight pain in the ass..

However GCG sounds good.. I believe life time is about a year? Depends on treatment I think thats with some fair flogging.

It was the water lines which caused a bigger pain and the actuator

Im also looking at getting either my standard r33 turbo high flowed or replacing it. Im in melbourne however, and would love to no some good workshops who do this work. Weighing up the costs, it seems cheaper and less hassle to get the turbo highflowed and jsut bolt it back on and go, rather then payin so much more to get another turbo to fit (oil/water lines etc).

Im not sure though..

Please help guys

for 1950 and only get a year out of it??? that cant be right. if it is ill rather pay the extra 1k and get a gt-ss. my turbo's dont get the easiest of times.

Ive looking into alot of these pages and ive decieded to go with rebuild because of price. the mrs wont budge on the dollar amount and she thinks im only paying 1500 heh heh. I find it hard to believe that a stronger than standard turbo would only last a year. considering the stock has been cruising for 15yrs. besides i only intend to run about 15pound. So back to the origanal question does anyone have a site i can check out.

there is a group buy on the GCG hi-flow if you search which brings the price down to about $1750 last i checked.

a 2530 is a lower hp rated turbo.

there are a billion threads on which turbo and why but a GCG hi-flow is probably the cheapest upgrade (and getting all new rotating parts etc.) if you include all costs from removal to replacement.

Thats interesting because i went to a place called PEP'S Auto Parts in Wetherill Park,noticed they sell GCG parts

I asked the salesman are they from GCG? He said yeh and claimed he was the representitive so i asked for a

price on high flowing my stadnard rb25 turbo from a r33 to suit my 32gtst.

Same parts and process as you listed above but the price i was quoted was $1100.

Can someone shed some light on that?

my guess $1950 is the headline price for a ball bearing hi-flow with you supplying a turbo or an exchange price.

my guess is $1100 is a bush bearing hi-flow price.

$1750 is the group buy ball bearing price.

i could be wrong but calling GCG is the easiest way to clear up what's what.

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      By PranK · Posted

      The jack pad placement always had me scratching my head. I only have a small section to work with on both the E90 and E70 (and insert new project car here ) and I could see lining it up to be a bit of a bugger. For me, the E90 is just too low and needs small ramps and then the front centre jack point is a bit tricky to line up (it's half way down the subframe and about the size of a tennis ball, its really hard to see unless your head is on the ground), so I definitely like the idea of not having to do a multi-stage jack and just sliding these bad boys in under the sides. There's only one small point at each corner, so I can't jack AND add a stand on the same corner. Or, maybe I can and I'm too nervous to try. 😟

      Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device?

      Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.

      Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
