Hiya. Yep im using a rb25 highflow from cgc...

Stage 1 450hp build... At the moment running 1 bar and full boost comes on by 3500rpm... Currently pushing out 232rwkw with usual mods, Fuel system, ECU, FMIC ect...

Does anyone know how much the turbo will flow boost wise?

LePpErFiSh.........

Hi Carl, we have 2 GCG Hi flow RB25 turbos, both Stage 1. One is on an R34GTT (RB25DET NEO) and the other on a R32 GTST (RB20DET). The R25DET has 240 rwkw at 1.1 bar and the RB20DET has 220 rwkw at 1.3 bar. The full weight R34GTT did a 12.4 for 1/4, and is used daily, in city traffic, freeways etc and has been that way, totally reliably for 20 months. The R32 is used for circuit racing and the turbo is very responsive in the RPM range we use, it isn't lag free but it's pretty close.

The RB25DET power band looks like this

7000 rpm 240 rwkw

6500 rpm 220 rwkw

6000 rpm 205 rwkw

5500 rpm 195 rwkw

5000 rpm 180 rwkw

4500 rpm 160 rwkw

Average 200 rwkw

There are plenty of 240 rwkw turbos around, but not many that average 200 rwkw from 4,500 rpm to 7,000 rpm. That's what performance is all about, a single hi maximum power at one rpm is point is next to useless. Unless you have a close ratio gearbox or an auto.

Our experience with Stage 2's is that they have to be tuned very carefully as they are very close to the compressor surge line on a 2.5 litre engine (OK on 3.1 litres though). I am personally not convinced that the few extra kw's is worth it on an RB25 and I wouldn't even think about it on a RB20.

Hope that helps

Hi Sydneykid,

What does this mean to us laymens ???

Our experience with Stage 2's is that they have to be tuned very carefully as they are very close to the compressor surge line

thanx for that sydney kidd , very useful info. my st1 pulled 204rwkws at 6300rpm at 1.2bar and that is before i change to a hi flow cat , split dump pipe, cam gears etc. at 7psi boost my peak power was 140rwkws at 6600rpm, why such a difference in peak rpm? would this be because of my restrictive dump/cat? thanx for the great advice, awesome thread!!! did the r34 use aftermarket cams to reach peak at 7000rpm?

7000rpm 253kw

6500rpm 250kw

6000rpm 245kw

5500rpm 227kw

5000rpm 220kw

4500rpm 191kw

Average= 231kw

This is my Hybrid VG30, still going strong with the ceramic wheel and T04 Vtrim comp. This turbo is not yet totally sorted as it will surge in 4th and 5th. Boost must come on after 4000rpm to eliminate surge, I am currently controlling it by dual stage boost controll which automatically switches from 11 to 14psi at 4000rpm.

How long it will last is another issue, been running with it for a few months now. Happy with the $350 outlay so far. :)

Heard alot of good things about GCG. Big outlay tho ,but, just the same as buying a brand new turbo....which is cheaper than any HKS, APEX, TRUST etc.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
