I havent got a dyno figure since the turbo was rebuilt and hiflowed. It was 204 KW at the wheels prior to the work, and going from seat of the pants feel, (and the speedo) there has been a decent jump in the top end.

Bill started following Not Sure Where To Post A Question About A Price Check? and [Nsw] R34 Gt-T (1998)

Well time has come to put old faithful up for sale. Its a 1998 R34 GT-T with the following features; Apexi Power FC + Hand controller Turbosmart e-Boost Hiflowed Turbo 5 speed manual Grade pack Climate control Power mirrors / windows Remote central locking 2 way factory fitted sunroof 150,000km 11 months rego Splitfire Ignition coils Trust Front Mount Intercooler Trust Pod Filter 3" Turbo back exhaust Switchable Traction Control ABS JVC Stereo with iPod and Aux inputs Condition Turbo was rebuilt and hiflowed earlier this year, it still has about 7 months warranty on it. TCS trips a warning light intermittently sometimes after you have been driving a while. Still works however. Tiny dent behind drivers door. Usual stone chips on bonnet etc. Car is located in Bathurst NSW (about 2 hours west of Sydney) $17500 (Will also consider a trade or trade + cash).

For anyone who is intrested I had it rebuilt by hypergear and hiflowed. Seemed to be the best option for what I wanted to spend. Boost comes on a tad later, but does not feel laggey and now there is no dropoff after 4200 when running at 1bar so im happy with that tradeoff. Attached pics show what was stopped from flying out the exhaust by the cat. and

I was told by a few people the stock turbo being unable to maintain the higher boost (double stock) as the revs increased is to be expected, not an issue with the wastegate or Eboost. It seemed logical to me, but I guess that was just an assumption I made that suited the facts and backedup what others said, lol. Thanks. Am getting Hypergear to rebuild and highflow my turbo. It seems to be the better option when you take my requirements into account.

In the end Ive decided to send by old turbo to hypergear to be rebuilt and highflowed. Seems to be the easiest and most cost effective option given that I dont want to change injecters, AFM, etc.
-
Its been that for the last 8 years or so. Ok thanks, had never really thought about what hi-flowing entailed, I thought it was just porting and polishing or something like that. I would not get a bush bearing one, may be me but I dont think they last as long. Hey, is it possible to get my turbo rebuilt? If so where?
-
Thanks Considering the Ks I do thats a consideration. Is there any rule of thumb on differences in fuel use when highway cruising? From some of the info posted so far I may just end up doing that. I got about 8 years out of the old one with the boost wound up. Guys, Im not running a stock board. I have a PFC fitted and am factoring a tune no matter what I end up doing.

Not yet. Ive started anouther thead for a recommendation, just waiting to see all the opinions and suggestions.

What? $350 for a stock turbo? I thought they would be a lot more than that. Is that new, second hand, refurbished?
