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 :P)

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.

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

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.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
