hey guys,

just after some advise here as iam going to be hiflowing my turbo this week.

i got 2 choices

choice 1: (standard Hiflow)

this is pretty much standard, and they guy said will get me about 250 atw once its done.

choice 2: (PU Hiflow)

this is a bit diff to the standard, bigger housing n such and will get me about 280 atw

The guy said standard is more responsive and will spool at about 3.5, 3.6 and the PU will spool at about 4k revs

my car is a daily and i like to have fun here n there, not a fan of track n calder park n that.

i dont really knw much about turbo's so though i ask the experts here ;P

so which 1 should i got for?

What are you asking mate? Which one to go with?

For a daily, go with the responsive high flow. You might get bored of it down the track but its better to go incrementally than for big power straight away, both for getting used to it and deciding when enough power is enough. For a rear wheel drive daily, 250rwkw is pretty well fast enough particularly if power delivery is spread across the rev range. There's not many "traction holding" situations where you'll need more than that. Going straight to the lag of the PU highflow will piss you off if you're used to standard response...another reason to step up incrementally.

280rwkw with boost coming on 4000rpm is average. Should be sooner than that for that kinda peak.

My GT30 (600hp version) was on 4000-4200rpm and was 270rwkw @ 17psi, would have been over 300 with 20psi and that was with a .82 rear housing, not a machined OP6 (which is smaller)

ask 5 people who have both versions and compare

the std GCG hiflow has been bulletproof for years and should have lots of known users

the PU hiflow is relatively new, different bearing type, and may have other unknown issue, ask 5 users who have one

did you fit it yourself or a workshop - if you, how hard, any mods to make it fit, how long if workshop - how much $ to swap

did you send yours away and then get the hiflow back? how long did it take

any install instructions come with it

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
