Hey hows it going everyone,

wondering if anybody could help me, ive been given a blown standard R33 turbo and decided i want to rebuild it and put it on my skyline R33, but hi flowed and i wanted to find out what internals are the biggest and the best to use in producing the most power out of the turbo also if i should use ball bearing or roller bearing and if i should go double bladed also any other ideas thanks guys!

P.S would T4 or T66 blades fit in or could i go bigger and are they good ?

those sort of wheels are way too large for the stock turbine housing. it sounds like the combo would yield a surge monster as the compressor side is just too large. the standard hiflow is good for about 260rwkw with cams so that should be plently. if you want more power then go for an off the shelf item instead of trying to make the hiflow "flow" more as it wont correctly, it could either surge its ass off, be laggy as all hell or not even make more power.

Ive never seen a hi-flow make 260rwkw??

GCGs hi-flow seems to be the biggest and will make at max 240rwkw (rb25 not rb20), but generally expect around 220-230rwkw. You do pay for it though!!

Most hi-flows will get you around 20-30hp more atw and aren't worth their price tags from what ive seen!

My GCG Hiflow has put out 249rwkw to date, hoping for more after exhaust manifold, oil cooler and a better dump pipe have been installed this week

EDIT: That is without cams to, PFC, 16psi, FMIC,Injectors, Pump, Greddy Plenum, Q45 Throttle, Dump / Exhaust / Pod etc.

Ill keep you updated with the figures it makes when i put the other stuff on, i have been told i can expect 370 / 380rwhp @ 20ish PSI

Well im happy to stand corrected!

Very impressive figures, the first thing i thought was 16psi you have a few more psi to play with and then i read the end of ur post... lol

Generally ppl dont use Q45 and Greddy Plenum which would help free up air flows and make more hp which could explain your higher than 'average' figure.

Yeah i have noticed not to many people take the same path i did, i have heard that the hiflows can get up to 20-22psi, so once i get the other stuff fitted im hoping to push as much as i can get out of it (without putting anything at risk of death). I have been considering getting some cams and and an adjustable gear, this might help me get those figures a little bit higher again so im going to look into that tommorow :(

My combo is currently making 274rwkw@16psi with VG30 ext. housing, cams and head porting, on a Dyno Dynamics Dyno. I opted to stop there as my bottom end is still standard, in fact i lowered the boost a fraction to keep it at 260rwkw.

As nice as that sounds the turbo will probably not make your "expected" figure, as i beleive it will run past it's effiency range well before then. I would estimate a hi-flow combo is probably good for about 290rwkw, maybe 300 max. More boost=more heat=declining power line. These turbos were not designed to run such high psi, yes they have been upgraded, etc., but they are still just a small factory turbo. But hey, i wish you all the best.

watch the gcg highflows, had a fellow forum member buy one and bolted it on and found the wastegate mounting spot was wrong and the gate was open fulltime, meaning full boost. not very good at all, and coulda cost him a motor as well, not to mention the costs of reinstalling (over $400) and 5 days without a car as well.

isolated case i know but this still happens so check those actuators r closing correctly before u install them!!!

If the actuator/wastegate was "open" full time the turbo would not boost, thus no harm to the engine. Still a very stupid fault from a turbo manufacturer.

the wastegate was stuck open so i was hitting FB at 4500rpm. I was amazed others with the GCG said it was just as responsive as stock....mine wasnt :)

Its all fixed now, but the $200 i saved on the turbo, cost me $400 in the end to get a workshop to fix it. Kinda annoying as i would have really expected better from GCG. Good turbo regardless, but f**k...annoys the shit out of and my wallet.

Open wastegate= no boost , or very little boost .

Shut wastegate = unlimited boost, only limited by the turbo.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
