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.

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
