Just in the process of weighing up my options as to get a spare factory turbo hi flowed or just go for a good second hand GT-RS.

Its going in a R33 sedan, and would like to get about 250-300kwatw.

Any other options i could look into would also be great, and rough prices on hiflowing

Hey mate,

The two options you have listed are really the best turbos for a decent power increase without chasing too high a figures and without having to change much more about the car ie: keeping it looking standard.

A hi-flow on a standard turbo will get you up to around 240rwkw maximum

A HKS GT-RS Kit will get you closer to 260rwkw.

Now be aware that both of these options need some additional mods.

At the minimum you would be looking at upgraded engine management in either the form of a SAFC or Power FC, new fuel pump and if your going over 240kw it would be a good idea to do injectors to (Power FC required). At these power levels the standard clutch would also be towards its limit.

So in answer to your question :cheers:

I personally would go straight to the HKS GT-RS kit. High flows are not exactly cheap and from experience ive learned its best to aim a bit higher and do it right once, the first time. This kit will give you awesome response and great usable street power. You will be thrilled :)

There are some traders on here selling the GT-RS kit for $2800~

To get a standard turbo high flowed by GCG is approx $1600~

Hope this was some help buddy :)

Thanks for the help guys :(

Was nearly going to buy a good second hand gt-rs but wasn't sure if it would be overkill. The hi-flow question mainly because i have a cactus std neo turbo in need of a rebuild.

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated :)

where you mentioned a second hand GTRS... and it says HKS on it.

Get a hi-Flow with VG30 rear housing, Im aiming for about 260-270rwkw with my auto after I get the rear housing Fitted and retuned with the Vipec.

A guy in sydney is getting 320rwkw from this same turbo in a manual, but I think he is running a forged motor with a few more intake and fuel mods.

Yeah that was going to be my question , the GCG Hi Flow with the VG30 0P6 turbine housing .

Internally they are a fair bit bigger than the RB25 housing so with other top end work they are supposed to go well and not have any extra turbine lag .

I'd like to see better wheels in the high flow but I think it may be a case of the small frame GT BB turbine shafts being too small/short and the larger frame GT turbine shafts being too big in diameter .

I am currently running the slide hi-flow max over size with the OP6 VG30 rear. The turbo has been excellent with no problems, but it is now time to grab some more power so i will also going the 3076 with the .82 rear. The best power that the hi-flow could get me was 250rwkw. This is at 17psi but when it was bumped up to around 19-20psi the power would drop of so the tuner left it on 17 stating this was the best power curve he could attain. He said this was probably due to the turbo running out of puff up top.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
