Hey im looking at getting a highflow done on my r33 gtst and been looking at getting it done by john at precision in wethrill park just wanted to know if anyone has gotten theirs done by him and what they think.

Thanks :)

I did that turbo back in 2008, and yes that ball bearing highflow was real good, stock like response and midrange, I think I managed 230rwkw with a Toshi road tune but I was only running 14psi if I remember right

he does plain bearing highflows too but I went with the ball bearing option at the time

If the ball bearing highflow is still the same as it was before, then make sure you give him your turbo return drain so he can modify that to suit the Garrett ball bearing CHRA

standard coolant lines also didn't fit, you could cut the stock lines and fit new rubber hoses and banjos but better to get new lines made up

was quite a bit of work but it was worth it in the end. His after sale service is also good too

Having had skylines that had both precision highflow and GCG highflow I personally prefer the precision, the GCG felt laggier, takes a moment to pick up when you put your foot down

The precision r33 BB highflow was so responsive you could probably opt for OP6 highflow for a bit more top end

never tried the plain bearing highflow from precision so I can't really comment on that, I think I remember John telling me the plain bearing highflow will bolt up to standard coolent lines and oil return drain, but double check that with him

Erwin from Skylinespares also at Wethrill park might know about the plain bearing version, he was the one who recommended Precision to me

let us know how you go

Yeah when I was talking to him he actually sugessted staying with the bush bearing until I basically said go as big as possible lol so I think im going to go for the full garrett setup where he actually machines the rear outlet aswell so see how that goes. I just wanted to get some first hand feedback

the BB costs a fair bit more than the plain bearing one I think, he also did recommend plain bearing saying it will make just as much power, but also admitted that the BB one would have better response

just the amount of work of getting the lines right during installation took a bit of time, but was worth it in the end

If I was to do it again then I'd go OP6 rear housing on the BB highflow, r33 21U highflow had stock-like response already, I think I could do with slightly less response for more top end

and boost it up to 17psi :banana:

Well from what he has qouted me its $1600 for the highflow and re do all the oil lines with the op6 rear housing so its still fairly cheap seeing as though I dont have to change manifolds and dump pipes

Not that I want to take away from precision, because I understand they do some good work. But an informed decision is a good decision, so you should have a look at the hypergear thread in FI. He has just about tried every type of hi flow combination known to man on RB25s.

It appears a fair bit cheaper than what you've been quoted too.

Yeah ive been checking his stuff out too, and I agree with you he has done every type of setup possible lol. And I have priced up the two from precision and hypergear and after ive gotten the braided oil lines and the high pressure actuator on the wastegate which on the hypergear setup its extra and the precision setup there included they arent actually much different in price. The precision setup is still a bit more expensive but he is in wethrill park and I dont need to muck around with posting it down and worrying about it lol.

The Garrett cores aren't cheap

Price hasn't changed much since, I paid a bit less back then but had to do the lines and drains separately which would've add up to about the same. If he's supplying the OP6 housing then that's cheap

Heard lots of good things about hypergear and I also just installed one myself, don't know how it goes just yet caus I have injector issues to sort first

Not sure if Stao is still offering BB highflows but otherwise you'll need to compare hypergear with precisions bush bearing highflow to be fair, they cost roughly the same

As far as ive seen stao only really does bush bearings. And I guess only time will tell. Im more then happy to pay a bit extra if I dont have to muck about sending my turbo here there and everywhere just as long as im happy with the result I think thats all that matters

We can definitely high flow them in ball bearings, how ever there isn't any point doing so as it makes no differences in end result. We make up own exhaust side wheels for very specific purposes so our high flows are not in standard Garrett wheel patterns. This mainly makes the turbocharger been able to discharge good volume of air while working with restrictive factory housings. That stabilizes boost control across all rev ranges, while keeping knock level under control based on a minimum of 12 degrees ignition advance in upper revs using P98 fuel. There for, the engine makes power happily with factory drive ability that has very limited boost or power tappering in upper revs.

Using our standard 21U high flow, 260rwkws is usually archived based on 19psi of boost, 280rwkws would be the maximum capacity internally gated at 24psi. 24psi is usually reached by 3500RPMs, More power is achievable if a proper manifold and external gate is used. That makes a very drive-able high performance street / track car. You can find all results on our high flow threads, the latest few pages would be from our current development.

Had my hi flow done by GCG good result and a 41kw increase at the same 10psi as the stock turbo was running. Had 157kw before now smack on 200kw at the wheels. On a RB25DET with 200,000km lol

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
