Hey guys, after some extensive research, I have decided to high flow my stock RB25DET turbo. Precision Turbochargers in Wetherill Park are quoting $1650 for a maximum oversize stage 3 ball bearing high flow with Garrett internals rated at 450 – 500HP… They were so helpful, honest and very friendly. I have asked a few local performance shops including V&E Rigoli and everyone seems to highly recommend them… One shop even told me of an R33 with their turbo and all supporting mods topped 282rw/kw in shoot out!

The reason I’m considering these guys apart from their excellent customer service is that they are around the corner from me and will do the high flow in one day.. drop off in the morning pick up in the afternoon…

Are any of you guys using or heard anything about their High flow turbos??

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Regards,

Sarkis

Hey Sarkis,

Hey you doing mate? I know the name of the shop but unfortunately don't know much else. I am interested in hiflowing my turbo as well mate and since we're pretty much neighbours, do you think they'll give some sort of discount if we get both done at the same time?

Also, was that price including change of turbo or the cost of the turbo itself only? I'm looking for around 240-260rwkw so one of these sounds like they might do the job. :) If the stage 3 is rated at 450-500 what is the stage 1 and 2 rated at?

Cheers,

Andy

Hey Andy, im well thanks buddy and you?

That price is to give them your turbo and get it highflowed and they can do it within a day if u arrange it with them.

the stage 1 & 2 are journal bearing and rated at approx 400HP which should produce 230 - 240rw/kw and they are priced at $1350. If you want an excellent service and deal, check out SLIDEING PERFORMANCE's High Flow package.. its an unbeatable price and Aaron is a top bloke... the only reason im considering Precision Turbo is cause its a BB highflow...

Any feedback on these turbos will be appreciated guys!

I don't see the point in paying $1650 for a high flowed turbo with the prices of some bolt on replacements these days. $1650 buys you an aweful lot of NEW turbocharger these days.

Hey fella's, ill ask if we can organise a group buy however as far as value for money, Sliding Performance takes the cake! im 100% sure that Precision turbo wont match or beat Aarons deal in the journal bearing high flows.

As far as the Ball Bearing high flows, im sure we can get a much better price then the GCG Highflow price, cause already without any discount Precision Turbochargers are cheaper than GCG so with a group buy or even an SAU exclusive offer i can probably organise a real good deal... ill get back to you guys asap!

Maybe so, but many of our cars are daily drivers and would like to maintain the "stock" look under the hood.. not to mention the requirement of new oil, water lines and adaptors for most new turbos... so therefore the highflow is best streetable option as stated by many of the best tuners... However, Trooper has advised me that Garrett are releasing a New RB25 bolt-on turbo and has been shown to produce 260+rw/kw which im also very keen on... release date is in feb for this new turbo so its price will determine wether i highflow or get this new Garrett... Just considering all my options...

Anything cheaper then the Sliding Performance High flow will be nothing but a Sunbeam Hair dryer... At Sliding Performance's prices, he is getting orders WORLD WIDE! So if your after a quality job at an unbeatable price, contact Aaron at Sliding Performance...

If your after a Bolt-on Ball Bearing Highflow, Precision Turbochargers have an excellent price and service and might try and organise a group buy asap... or GCG's highflow for $1750 SAU price...

Yep they sure do Dave, and even less for exchanging your turbo.... thats why they have best bolt-on turbo package you will ever find, however for those who are wanting a BB highflow, GCG was thought to be the only decent place to get it done... Now i have Precision Turbocharges and have an excellent reputation with all the top performance shops in the area as well as offering a better price than GCG... all of V&E Rigoli's cars are using their turbos...

Is BB more reliable or can you run more boost with BB?

    • Biggest thing is you're okay!   It sounds like between the accident, and the drive home, it was a pretty torturous trip again! On the bright side, you took the opportunity to enjoy the event more from the perspective of a spectator, than as an entrant!   Sad to see so much damage to the car. It really has taken a HUGE hit in the front end. If/when you choose to repair, hopefully the rails are straight (At least from shock tower backwards). Hopefully the extra cage coming through there has save most of the chassis rails, and HOPEFULLY saved the motor too. Best of luck when you eventually get motivated to start pulling it down to check it all out
    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !
