rev210 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 This rates up there with stupidest posts of all time. I appreciate your attempt at sarcasm with this post bubba but, you have to remember that the WA forum members mostly don't get it.

rev210 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've been using pliers to hiflow turbos for years. It's amazing how good the suspension feels after a good multigrip turbo hiflow.

Pal Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) I bought a cheepy, $350 ,that had a few problems with it (compressor wheel was eroded and exhaust housing was badly cracked) took it to per4manz turbos and cost about $600 to fit new compressor wheel and machine out second hand stock exhaust housing and new seals. bought some gaskets and fitted it myself , a easy job if everything comes apart ok. a bit more laggy than the stock one but heaps more pull when it gets going. went from 290rwhp at 12psi to 307rwhp at 11psi. aiming for about 350-360 at 17psi when injectors and ecu are fitted.

Pal Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 if you dont know the history of the turbo it's worth the extra coin to get it checked out before you buy it, and rebuilt if needed(making sure it is worth it first). not worth sticking it in and it popping on you. i put mine in just for seals and machining which was around 300 bux but due to the compressor wheel being stuffed, that put another $300 on it.

bubba Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 230-240rwkw @ 16-18psi. It's not so much "safe" boost levels as opposed to having a "safe" tune which will keep your engine alive. Best (and safest) gains will be had with a proper ECU though. Probably going to max your airflow meter and not sure how an SAFC will go tuning past the AFM limits..

Some new injectors and ~18psi I'd hope to see ~280awkw.

Pattygtst Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Bubba what rpm do you get full boost at? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/258468-r33-hi-flow-turbo/page/2/#findComment-4472985 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) About 4000rpm I think, maybe a *tad* earlier. Being auto with the stock stall (~2250rpm), makes it quite laggy off the line Edited March 12, 2009 by bubba Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/258468-r33-hi-flow-turbo/page/2/#findComment-4473096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pal Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 a little bit but don't think its worth the money or effort 4 what gains you get unless yours has popped. workshops will charge around the $80 to $90/ hr.
