Hi y'all

was looking at the gcg website, http://www.gcg.com.au, and was trying to dig up some specs for their high flows but i kinda got lost and confused :D

was just trying to get the specs of the OP6 GCG high flows that get around the 250-270rwkw mark... there are a couple in the turbo upgrade thread, and another guy recently posted a Status tuned one that got 270rwkw.

I've got a spare OP6 rear housing, but just wondering if i can "borrow" some of the specs of their high flows, compressor wheel size, etc :ninja:

cheers,

daniel

They are not out of the box stock so even if you knew what they started as it's highly doubtful you could recreate them economically . And then theres the bearings etc .

A lot of work goes into those critters which is why they are not dirt cheap .

OP6 merely means the turbine housing is the larger 3L VG30 size rather than the 2.5 or 2L ones off Skylines in the BB Hitachi family .

oh there's a lot of proprietary stuff i'm sure... i was just wondering that for those that have ordered from GCG, did they give you a couple spec options to choose from?

reason i mentioned the OP6 is that i thought it might give you some different options because you have a larger rear housing to start with

No, you get one option far as I know... Think of it this way:

You wouldn't waste the OP6 by putting a R33 hi-flow in there now would you? :ph34r:

I mean you could ask for a R33 version... but why?

They use the wheel to suit the housing and machining set-up they have designed. Deviating is not smart business for the production they would have.

I could be wrong, but I doubt that in this instance.

GCG used to offer two versions of the R33, however the larger wasn't matched so well (comp wheel was too large) and it was prone to surge quite nastily, this was going back 3-4 years now. So obviously they stopped offering that one

The wheels would be no secret, however you wont get it 'recreated' for much (if any) cheaper when you take into account: wheels, cartridge, housing machining, balancing and so on.
