i sent them this, and got the following reply, which i found a bit hard to beleive given were talking bigger wheels, and non ceramic.

Thanks for the enquiry. Answers to your questions are below:

is there a Difference using an rb20 or r25 turbos, given the 25 has a bigger exhuast housing?

No other differences at all.

do you offer anything slightly smaller in the way of highflows, im looking to make 210rwkw, max, on an rb20det, in a 32 gtst, my only concern is if i can get something smaller than what you offer as standard, with the rb20 being down in the torque department i need something that spins up as early as possible,

The high flow will come on boost, and respond exactly the same as a standard turbocharger, but make more power, so there is no need to worry about response with the RB20det.

Kind Regards

Id say you wouldn't get TOO much more lag on an rb25 with a standard turbo upgraded to the gcg hi-flow, however on an rb20 it would be similar to puttin an rb25 turbo on (more lag more power), but maybe not too much more laggy than a standard rb25 turbo on an rb20 if you get what im trying to say?

Its common ppl saying you won't notice any loss in responce so don't think he's trying to pull your leg but you will get atleast 1000rpm more lag for full boost from what ive heard/seen. Rb20 standard turbo wit supporting mods = 1bar @ 3000rpm, gcg hi-flow = 1bar @ 4000rpm (approx wit supportin mods obviously)

I get 1 bar at 3200 with my highflow. It spools like stock so where I previously had 2-3psi I still have 2-3psi, where I had 12psi I still have 12psi.

I was going to say it's only a little laggier but then I compared all my old dyno sheets and was surprised to see them boosting at the same level at the same rpm.

Im on 7 lbs at about 2200rpm - stock turbo. 11 pounds is about 2500.

I would expect that to jump up another 1000rpm. Thats the same lag as an sr20det - pretty reasonable.

With the GCG ball bearing high flowed RB25DET turbo on the RB20DET we see 1 bar at 3,000 rpm in 3rd, 4th or 5th gear. And it will rev happily to 8,000 rpm. It sure as hell doesn’t feel laggy.

There is a lot in how it is tuned and how good the boost controller is at keeping the wastegate firmly shut.

Off boost, it’s a 2 litre engine with 8.5 to compression ratio and 180,000 k’s on it. I don’t expect the same torque as a fresh RB31DET with 9 to 1 compression ratio.

;) cheers :D

Wow. That's good!m Why is it so good? Cams?

I didn't mean to imply that it was a little laggy. By saying pretty reasonable, I meant, well, great.

hmmmm

I don't see full boost until more like 4000 rpm or later sometimes.

I have a rattle in the exhaust at idle and AlexCim told me he had the same rattle and it was a loose wastegate actuator allowing the wastegate flap to rattle. Hence it was open at low boost levels, hence he had long spooling times. He also had the same GCG highflow.

Mine sounds the same he said.

Maybe I need to pull my bloody inlet tract apart and play with that wastegate.

Maybe I'll be boostin much earlier.

SK, ever heard of a GCG having this problem?

Hey all,

am planning to get my rb25 turbo hi flowed soon..

are GCG the best ppl to go with? ... what other places are there out there (which you recommend) to get a turbo high flowed?

On average how much kw increase can you expect from a high flowed turbo?? (i.e. dyno with standard turbo, get it high flowed, then dyno with hi-flowed turbo)

Cheers,

-JD

GCG offer a rebuild using the stock core - retains OEM oil and water lines. Makes it a straight bolt-in proposition, and has a very good reputation for achieving results.

Other suppliers tend to use a complete Garrett cartridge and mate up the stock comp/turbine covers. Also very good, but requires custom oil/water.

The upside to going this way (perhaps) is that if you do lots (and lots) of reading/research you can opt for a turbo that is built to your spec. Costs tend to even out however.

cheers

Well Holy Crap Sticks Batman.

Remember I told you about my rattling exhaust and stuff?

Well....

I just "ghetto" modified my waste gate actuator shaft.

I driled another hole in the wastegate shaft just to the left of the standard hole. Took me a while to get the shaft back onto the waste know, but we got there in the end.

Drove the car and holy hell, the response is magnificent. I now have full boost in every bloody gear by 3000 rpm!!!!!

The thing is a bloody boost monster!

coming onto boost in 2nd now results in wheelspin and massive pushing back into seat antics.

BUT, and this is a big but.

The MASSIVE preload I have put on the shaft now means the power FC calls no joy when the boost spikes as it comes on, even with with like 20 in the gains on the boost controller setting.

I get to 4000rpm, and the thing just goes start/stop in a split second makes my guts hurt.

So, tomorrow I will be re-modify the shaft buy heating it, bending it and only giving it a smaller amount of preload but still enough to keep away that bloody rattle and keep the thing closed and boosting.

I simply cannot believe the difference. The thing is a total animal now!

BRING ON DECA BABY!

I had a play this morning.

I sete the desired boost on the PFC to 1.2 bar.

Car pulled hard as a rock, boost levelled out and away she went.

Crikey it's quick now.

Shame I can't use it on the road though.

DECA HERE WE COME

My rear tyres are shaking in their boots!

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
