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'.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
