Gcg High Flow Question

i have been looking for answers for this for a while. asked a few people on the forums about their setups from the dyno thread for RB25

i went into a reputable performance shop on the weekend and asked a couple questions too.

i like the standard turbo for R33.

i like the way it spools quickly for me it is good enough. however i want to be able to draw 16psi from this turbo thats the power level i want from my car nothing more.

i know it cant handle this level of boost however but the gcg high flow can

i dont want to spend so much on the engine either want to keep costs to a minimum im not asking for too much power from a computer, elec boost controller to hold the 16psi and high flow turbo shoot for around 220kw.

the reputable performance specialist said the turbo doesnt work below 230kw?! and you still need to put afm, injectors etc etc to finish it off. is this true?

i already have all other mods dump, high flow cat, filter, cooler and zorst. can anyone shed any light on this?

you will get 200kw with the standard AFM, injectors bla bla. it will feel pretty good compared to what you've got now, it will keep a grin on your face for about 2 days. for 220kw you can use a safc/sitc if you're not keen on spending $2000 for an ecu and a tune (you'll only be spending $1000).

reality is you will be wanting more from what you have with whatever setup you want to go with. you may think that you'll be fine with 220kw for now but in 2 months time when the money/time is there you'll be spending double of what you already have to get it how you want it - trust me.

Learn from 90% of our mistakes and get all of the right gear now. you WILL be saving yourself alot of $$ in the long-run.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
