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!

Regards,

Sarkis

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?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
