I've got a gcg highflow on a series 1 rb25det (rebuilt with forged pistons etc) how much boost should I be trying to pump out of this turbo? I've heard they are good for 18psi on a 25, will it make more power if I go higher? or is this the limit with the internal wastegate? Just going to be using a cheap bleed valve.

Also with stock cams where will the power start to drop off, I've had a look at the dyno thread but it is a bit hard to tell, I get the feeling around 7k though?

Cheers.

Will it make more power? It's anyone's guess :(

just screw boost in until it stops making power/intake temps get too high etc.

Stock cams - never. I ran factory cams with a 600hp GT30, power held till redline (8000rpm) everytime

i have a GCG high flow on My series 2 R33, with all supporting mods injectors, PFC, Profec B Spec 2 boost controller etc etc and it runs 20psi and tapers off to 18psi higher in the rev range. Tuned by UNIGROUP engineering in Sydney, who did an amazing job, and the car drives with almost stock like response down low.

still stock CAMS as well. If that helps.

Nice I had a look in the dyno thread and looks like people are pulling about 250rkw with that kind of boost starting to taper off at 7k. What power does yours make and where does it start to drop off ?

I agree it is a lovely turbo to be able to make that sort of power but still drive around like a stock rb25 in the low revs, soon as you get any boost it is much quicker.

Is a hyper gear high flow anything at all like a gcg highflow though?

In most cases no :thumbsup:

They are the bush bearing version, so half the price. Wheels could be different too, without specs of each hard to say

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
