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

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
