So you guys really rate the GCG hi-flow as the best option for the 34GTT?  I have an auto as well and probably chasing 250rwkw for the time being.  How much extra kw will this turbo give just by itself :D  I'm currently on about 200 so I don't know.  If it's a long way off, I might as well get a different turbo.

We rate it as a good comprimise. An upgraded turbo needs supporting mods like injectors, fuel pump etc. to be used properly.

Pick a power figure then pick a turbo to suit. You don't want 250rwkw with a 2835ProS because you are wasting the turbos top end and therefore introducing needless lag. But if you can get 250 with a GCG highflow without getting out of its efficiency zone then you have chosen the right turbo for your required power. (And saved yourself a big pile of money in the process:D)

Search!!!

Since i searched this to death recently... :

without cams most are getting 230-250rwkw, mostly 240-250, some are around 220-230 (and seem to have been a little disappointed)

with cams up to 265 eg SK's cars

I spent a lot of time trying to compare GCG hiflows Vs HKS GT-RS, but i can't find many power figures for the HKS item :( they seem fairly similar though...

All the information you guys need is already on here.

For a GT-RS or GCG highflow you will need injectors, fuel pump, probably a fuel regulator, full exhaust, high flow panel filter or pod in a box, some sort of engine management and modification or replacement of the AFM to turbo pipe which will suck closed at this power level.

A GT-RS is a slight step up from the GCG HF. People have achieved 300rwkw with cams. If you high flow an R33 turbo you will not get as much power as a highflow of the R34 turbo as the exhaust housing is bigger on the R34. An alternative is to put a VG30 rear housing on the R33 turbo.

I've got 480cc Nismo injectors. I don't know/remember what Bass Junky has used. Also, did you go to Z32 AFM Bass?

i had my car dyno'd the other day as i had a ebc fitted to stop rich retard or boost cut or whatever it was. With stock computer and boosted to 10psi i only pulled 160rwkw. I have blitz lm fmic 3" exhaust filter. That seems a little low what do you guys think. Its and auto r34 by the way.

Bass,

Id like to compare your car to mine as i pulled 244 rwkw in my R33 HKS 2535 on 14psi (no cams), on the Racepace dyno.

It would be interesting to see how they compare!

Can i race the winner, ive got a 2535 and only pushed 231rwkw.

thanks bass.

was that with same mods as me? ie I/C exhaust?

i have bought emanage ultimate and am waiting for an ignition signal adaptor to come so i can fit it. I wonder how much more power i get. How much did you get with computer?

SK's 265rwkw figure was recorded in Shootout mode which at 250rwkw reportedly gives about 10-15 rwkw higher figure.

Quick clarificatin, we have been able to duplicate the 265 rwkw (+ or - a couple of rwkw) in non Shoot Out mode. Several times during winter with ambient temperatures in the mid teens and inlet (to the filter) temps just under 20 degrees.

It is one of the reasons why I can confidently say that Shoot Out mode doesn't ALWAYS give higher power readings. Well, not on our dyno anyway.

:( cheers :(

What is the most power you can get out of a GCG hi-flow with all supporting mods on an R33 GTS-T manual?

We have seen an R34GTT (R34GTT turbine housing) with 275 rwkw. That's on Sydney Optimax. If I remember rightly Bullant (Ian) acheived similar with his R33GTST using a VG30 turbine housing. Using Elf TurboMax I have seen 310 rwkw.

:( cheers :(

OK so a GCG hi-flow would be good for up to about 250rwkw... after a decent tune. I'm assuming that the SAFCII won't be good enough for tuning purposes?

So for all supporting mods:

1 x hi flo turbo or similiar

1 x new fuel pump

1 x adjustable fule reg

1 x new management system???

Would you guys reccomend getting new injectors or would the R34 stock injectors be good for 250rwkw?

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
