Hey guys,

Could i get some info on what a high flowed turbo means please? Is this something you get done to your original turbo or is that how aftermarket ones are made??

Any input would be appreciated.

Cheers

The way i have always taken it as being changes made to an existing turbo, the company makes it then someone else bores it out for more air flow. like when i had my mazda mx6 with an IHI 12 i think when i got it rebuilt i got it hi flowed which ment boring the walls of the copression housing out so it had more air volume.

im happy to be corrected tho if im wrong

Cheers

yea nugget is correct. Maybe pm a few of the guys as to the cost and what specs they had done as Race_Snooze and Tridentt both have had them done to there stock turbo's (although i think snooze got rid of his straight away)

The other thing is maybe give GCG a call as they are the ones who do it.

Cheers Leigh

Yeah well i want to find out some prices to see if its worth while instead of spending $1500+ for a new turbo. Also, will i need to get new injectors if i high flowed my turbo? Would it increase the power that much?

Speak to slide on these forums. he can hiflow your existing turbo for around $800.

for this you get brand new compressor and turbine wheels new CHRA and bored out compressor and turbine housings. it will flow enough for 250rwkw.

I am getting one done right now and will have it in about a week. I will keep all posted on the results.

it is on an RB20 so I will have to settle with 220rwkw bit is should be a screamer.

So seeing as i have a fuel pump, power fc, FMIC, pod will i have to upgrade my coils and injectors to run a high flowed turbo?

EDIT: My current injectors are at 80% and apparently that is maxed so i'd have to up grade them wouldn't i?

injectors no, coils maybe it depends on what state there in the, but injectors will easily handle 250kw

Had mine done [just sold it recently] was really happy with the power, I had 240rwkw at 18psi before I put cams in.

Then I put cams in and [unfortunately] didn't stop there, I pulled my turbo off and sold it [had a very good offer with no hassles] now I'm looking at other turbos etc.

But the high flow was a very good turbo and I estimate would have made around 260rwkw all up.

The turbo is openned up to breath a better. Mine went from 51.2/71 to 56.3/76mm. But my turbo was not a std one to start with, it was a garrett something or rather [not too sure but it went well].

Steve I'll send you my spec sheet so you can see what I have on my 'line to make the power I did. Also if you go to the RB25 turbo results thread in forced induction you will see what other ppl are getting from theirs.

Personally, a high flow for $1000 is a good option. if it goes over this amount then i'd be looking at the garrett GT3071R IW with T3, Slide is selling them for around $1600 and they are a 480hp turbo, so you would be looking at 250-270rwkw with supporting mods.

I'm looking at the HKS2835proS, its a small mods only bolt on. But I'm also looking at the GT3076R IW and the GT3040R IW they require a lot more mods [custom intake and dump and well as oil and water lines] to fit. Overall cost of all options is eventually about the same give or take a $100-200.

Well then i'd say it would be a better option buying an after market turbo rather then playing around with my standard one.

I still want to see your mods/figures...

I emailed them to you, along with the photo's etc all sized down etc.

there not, just means they need to be warmed up and cooled down, and oil needs to be kept clean.

ill just get Ed to do mine, it's going to cost me three grand but it will be stell ball bearing and abale to run 20psi or more

    • 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?
