from GCG:-

The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models. The upgrade comes in two stages.  

XTRGTST-STG1 450hp rated          $2250.00  

XTRGTST-STG2 500hp rated          $2450.00  

what's the response time like on the turbo upgrade compare to the factory ceramic and the HKS 2530(seem to be popular)?

was telling me his brother has a GTST, they high flowed the turbo, match ported the standard manifold, fitted a 3 inch exhaust, FMIC, fuel pump and reg, kept the standard injectors, a wolf 3D and got 200RWKW and pulled a flat 13 at calder park with street tyres at 107MPH.  

The Wolf is alot cheaper, but l have heard it cannot support bigger injectors, is this true?

not going to hammer workshops, but for 200rwkw that hi-flow may aswell be a paper weight as thats a dead waste of $1500. Even 210-220rwkw i would question. Guys around here seem to bring home great results with the GCG turbos.

Personaly i'd get bigger injectors and not bump rail pressures with a reg.

If you want an ECU... get a PowerFC. Take the car to ICE Performance or Racepace Motorsport for the tune. By far the best in Vic for an RB tune/work

Who said the PFC was expensive? @ ~$1100 with Hand controller from nengun... i dont think you'll find better anywhere.

PFC's are cheap as dogsh*t these days. I purchased one the other day. Great prices.

EDIT: just noticed someone went thread digging :headspin:

I have just pursched myself a 95 R33 gtst with the following mods, FMIC, full 3 inch exhaust from the turbo, air filter, and a HKS boost controller. I have talked to alot of people about up grading the turbo, but they seem to tell me different things and now I do not know what to do. Do l highflow the existing turbo? or opt for something big such as a T04 with a custum manifold? and who in Melbourne is the best place to talk about turbo upgrades. My aim is to get the car to run in the 12 second bracket.

dude,

i'd recommend you speak to dennis at P.E.T Modifications (9464-4225 or 0425 799984) as he would be able to advise you which way to go for the power that you want.

also, if you were looking at hi-flowing your original turbo, he can get that done for you, so give him a call and have a chat with him. just tell him Goran (RS500) sent you and he'll help you out.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
