hey all, just picked up a new turbo today. was expecting to get a standard S2 RB25 turbo

upon closer inspection it seems that its got a GCG ID plate stamped onto it, which leads me to believe that its been rebuilt/high flowed.

Having never seen a standard turbo in person, i have nothing to compare to.

Can anyone confirm this?

Well lucky me then :):laugh:

this is really going to put a hole in my wallet now since im going to have to get all the supporting mods to really make use of it

i was onli going for a little bit more power which is why i was looking for a standard turbo

the guy i bought it off was using the engine to do a conversion and already had a turbo for it, he thought this one was standard, well that was until we pulled the manifold off and saw the ID plate

thanks for the input :(

It's definately a highflow but it has a 7 blade front wheel which I haven't seen in a GCG one before. I'm with R31nismoid, give GCG a call.

I ran an old GCG stage 2 highflow on my rb20, 14psi by about 4300, made 175rwkw at 12psi with a massive torque hole at the bottom end :happy:

That exhaust wheel certainly looks a hell of a lot larger than stock and I think that compressor wheel/inlet looks bigger than the standard 25 turbo I've got sitting at home.

alot of mixed opinions here lol

it has a gcg plate as ive already pointed out, i looked at their website n it does look the same.

i did call them aswell but im waiting on a call back

i might just go in n see them myself

It is a GCG trust me.. they even sprayed the actuator black as well.. exactly the same.

GCG have definately high flowed the exhaust side of the turbo - got the big arsed wheel in there for a nice n steady 19psi of boosting! Not sure about the front tho, cant tell by the photo. For all I know its a standard front wheel and a highflow to the rear?

Either or, a very tidy pickup for $450 mate. Set to 1bar there is no doubt that you'll be a happy chappy

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
