What Turbo Is This?

[dbo]

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!

What do you guys think?

It's a GCG High Flow of some description

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.

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.

Old owner had it dyno tuned to 187rwkw with stock fuel pump..

I say with a decent fuel system (injectors/pump/FPR) it should make close to 220rwkw.

Edit: that was 187rwkw @ 15psi

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.

[Cubes]

Its definitely ball bearing.

No real idea what its worth.

$500? hehe..

Try asking 1.3k?

Did some digging on the for sale forums, and found this:

Same turbo sold for $1300, so looks like your on the ball tonight Cubes! Thanks for your help!

lol... that guess was more arse than class.

[BHDave]

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.

[Cubes]

What are these new garretts at $1300?

[dbo]

I know. I've ben reading up on the Slide High-flows. I still think GCG have abit more of an advantage over them though. Being ballbearing always helps.

[paulr33]

gcg have plain bearing hiflows as well, just so you are comparing apples with apples

[Cubes]

Either way.. ask a starting price of $1300 for a good condition BB stage 1 450hp GCG highflow.

[silver gts-t]

i'm selling mine for $1250 easy, with heaps of ppl wanting it

[discopotato03]

Gwan , show em the compressor wheel !

[Staunch]

haha great this thread has also answered my question to what my turbo is 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'.
