Hello everyone,

Just pulled a turbo off my R32 4 door. Need help in figuring out what it is so I can sell it for the right price. My guess is it's a high flow of some kind, steel wheels etc

It has a GCG plate on it:

S/N: 016085

P/N: XTRGTSTS1

The compressor housing is labelled 16V 12 (I think thats the standard housing for an RB20 turbo, correct me if i'm wrong?)

Exhaust housnig doesn't give away much. Near the inlet it says 603A, and randomly somewhere else it says OP6. Has a pretty big exhaust wheel.

Here's the pics. Sorry they're abit dark, couldn't get much light.. will try for some more tommorow!

The turbine housing is the larger VG30/R34 size.

It must of been laggy on the ol RB20. >_<

The comp cover is from an rb20det turbo.

An interesting match, small 16v comp cover with the vg30/r34 turbine housing.

How did it spool on the rb20det? Al lin by 5k?

As stated, its a GCG highflow, ~$1900 new.

The only negative with your turbo is the small 16v comp cover.

Haha spot on mate.. not too good for mid range, but jessu christ hold on once you hit bout 4.5k

Made great top end power. I think it would go well on an RB25/RB30

I think it would too. :nyaanyaa:

What power did you end up making with it on the rb20? 4.5k is not too bad. :)

I ran a stock vg30 on my old rb20det once, that had bugger all under 4000rpm. Such a lazy turbo for bugger all power increase over stock. >_<

GCG

GTST turbo

Stage 1 Hi-flow,

Its not the surgy (and now removed) "2nd stage" they had on offer for a while

I thought as much from the plate on the turbo. Is it ball bearing?

So the big question is what is she worth? No shaft play, and it will come with a 15psi actuator..

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I did abit of digging on GCG.com.au, and found this:

http://www.gcg.com.au/Catalogue_Menus/Upgr...pgrade_gtst.htm

Thats basically what I have, instead I have the 16V 12 compressor housing (R32) not the 45V2 (R33) housing.

$1950 brand new.

Shit, 1300's a good price. I had no interest at that price for mine.

I ended up getting 1000 or 1100 i think for my old stage 2 highflow (which incidentally didn't surge on either my rb20 or rb25)

The problem becomes you now have competition from new garretts at about $1300 not to mention the sub 1k highflows from slide.

haha great this thread has also answered my question to what my turbo is :ermm: i think everyone will agree its a new GCG high flow, numbers etc. match except mine has '45V4' and the one on the GCG site has '45V2'.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
