general costs of hi-flowing...

[inark]

Hey guys,

whats the general cost of hi-flowing a turbo like the R33 Turbo or the Std R32 turbo

[meggala]

why knee you got a power urge.

seriosly non ballbearingaround 1500 may be more may be less ballbearing from 2k or so.

cheers

a bit off topic..while consider hiflow..also consider some bolt on upgrade..just my 2 cents..

[doxximus]

well one of my mates rebuilt an rb30et for his vl and just kept the standared t3 turbo (i think thats it) and hiflowed it, he said some place in thomastown very good ppl charge around 900 - 1000

(yes this conversation came about when i asked him about hiflowing )

[inark]

yeah a bolt one is looking more likely... yes steve a have a sudden urge for more power...

my cooler will get here this week sometime c/o mark from centreline.... clean that up a bit (acid dip maybe?), get the pipes made up (my mate does mandrel bending for a job so all i need to do is get the design for the pipes), fit it and a bleed valve and see how it goes until i get a bigger turbo in maybe march (for my birthday )... looking to get something like a TD05 or TD06 like the ones mark had for sale.... i reckon that will do me for a while

inark, I believe GCG do a highflow (rated to 450hp) for $2200 exchange

sidewaymambo, what bolt on upgrades do you suggest and why - interested to know your thoughts if that is ok?

[sidewaymambo]

I will sell the the stock turbo, and save the money (hiflow) while they are some good price 2510, 30, 40 & 2835 available. my 0.02

[Steve]

Sidewaymambo,

What sort of dollars and where best to source these from?

Cheers

Steve

Would love to get my hands on a 2835 T3 version internal wastegate. Have you got a good source? Or is it a secret.

Probably would be $5000 over the counter.

[Warpspeed]

Yeah, me too.

I would be selling the stock turbo to someone else, and getting myself a new or slightly used Garrett or HKS ball bearing turbo.

[sidewaymambo]

Check for sell section in early Jan..

2510, 2530, 2540 and 2835....

Also some T04E's!!

I got an R33 turbo hi-flowed, it is now a non roller bearing turbo and personally I think that is a large backward step. I will be looking for a suitable HKS turbo

[inark]

yeah thats why im going with an aftermarket turbo... just wanted to know how much it was but the trust turbo i was going to get will end up being cheaper...
