planning on an upgrade atm so just seeing interest for the highflow.

so its a R34 turbo that has had the GCG treatment. turbo has done 19000kms and have not had a single problem with it. no shaft play (always checked when serviced by RE customs). turbo is running 15psi all day everyday (No boost controller fitted) and with 470cc injectors the car has pulled between 236-242rwkw.

id be looking at $1200 for the turbo itself. for R34 owners can do a package with the turbo, injectors and 3"dump pipe for around $2300.

this is just an EOI atm and your more then welcome to throw me an offer. but if someone offers me exactly what im after or maybe more and has the cash ready ill be happy to make the deal.

dont have any pics of it as like i said its still in the car and it looks like a stock nissan turbo which is great for when the boys in blue pull you over.

im interested. what is the max 'safe' boost its capable of? what rev does it hit 15psi? what injectors and how many cc's? how old are the injectors? sorry about the 21 questions. looking for a turbo upgrade =)

GCG is a company in sydney that highflows the standered turbo hence the GCG treatment. they rebuild the turbo with stronger internal parts to hold more boost then standered. the turbo is ball bearing, slot straight back in with no lines to make up and boost hard from low revs.

if you search GCG on the forums there is alot of info about this.

I'm sure it's BB because it's just the stock turbo highflowed by GCG .. they're the #1 turbo company in OZ for new turbos and highflows so you can be sure you're getting a great turbo here. I've inquired with GCG and they charge close to $2k to highflow your stock turbo so this is a great price for anyone looking for a decent upgrade without the need to upgrade your stock AFM, Injectors or clutch ...

thanks guys

john26 ill see if i can find a receipt but chances are slim to none. i should really start keeping em lol

turbo is in the car atm for those who wants to see, and experience the awesomeness of highflow at its best :D

I have the same turbo on a rb25det. I rang GCG and they said it can easily take 20psi and when i did some research a while back found they can make around 270kw with that boost and supporting mods but im yet to get mine tuned. Looks stock and almost as responsive as stock turbo which is pretty good considering the gain in power and torque..

Good luck mate, should sell very quick

thanks mate.

ye i have mine tuend at 15psi and get full boost at 3000rpm and pulls hard all the way to red line. really didnt want to even think about selling this but want to push more power out so this will need to be replaced.

What sort of power figure are you aiming at mate?

I am looking at making at least 250-300 in my RB25, i had a quote from MTQ a place in Adelaide and they were a lot cheaper then 2K plus they were going to be rebuilding it with Garret 3071R internals...one thing i dont need is lag....prefer the stock turbo response or better

be looking at 280-300rwkw. highflow will run out of puff at that power figure so going with HKS 2835Pros. already have the ssupporting mods just need the turbo and bigger injectors and a tune :)

Mate you wont find a turbo that can make that power with better than stock response but this turbos the closest u will get to that power if you want near stock response. If you want 300 then obviously it will come at a cost of more lag.

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
