JUN R33 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Howdy, Just posting to see if anyone is seriously interested in saving themselvers $$$ and getting heaps more power from their R32 and R33 Skyline GTST's??? I have for sale a brand spanking new GCG high Flow Stage II turbo still wrapped in plastic rated @ 500HP. "The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models." Price is only $2000 where brand new they sell for $2450. Condition is that you have to send me your old turbo or we can work something out personally. oh and by the way.......I live in DARWIN ) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/25585-new-gcg-500hp-turbo-for-sale-gtst-owners/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Dude.. Please confirm with GCG that this turbo has a BALL BEARING center AND that it is OK on an RB20. Last time I spoke with GCG in Sydney, the deal was that for just over $2K you give them your turbo and they rebuild it with Standard NON ball bearing center and replace the blades with T3/T4. AND they have 2 options.. 450 hp or the 500hp. AND the 500hp was not suited for the RB20... something to do with surging due to mismatch or something.. On an rb25 they were both good. But the main thing is the bearings.. If indeed they rebuilt it with BB center, then that is an awesome price.. However, I didn't think that ANYONE in Sydney had the Balancing tool required to REbuild BB centers.

GTS26DETT Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 GCG do have the nessacary tools to balance BB centre turbos, there is no problem using the 500HP turbo on the RB20..the surge they refer to is where the RB20 head runs out of effeciency and instaed of accepting more air from the turbo spits it back, this can be resolved with a port job and bigger cams. With having said that the 450HP turbo is better suited to the RB20 due to its smaller rear exhaust housing the turbo wouldnt be as laggy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/25585-new-gcg-500hp-turbo-for-sale-gtst-owners/#findComment-544116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keca18 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 watch high performance 4, they go into detail about this turbo upgrade. they use your existing turbo, replace both compressor and turbine wheels with t-04s specs + new bearing pack. and yes, they are ball bearing.

JUN R33 Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 Ball Bearing upgrades and hence it is a good price I am selling them for...they are BRAND NEW. I rang GCG and they confirmed this and also it suited a RB20 application if needed. Still for sale.
