Did I Just Score A Gcg Hiflow For $450?

[r32woohoo]

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?

That exhaust housing looks machined out.. much larger then stock... looks like you scored your self a highflow lucky bastard lol

Cheers

[Gazee]

Are they steel exh and compressor wheels? If so theres a real good chance that it is a GCG high-flow. Pretty cheap aswell dude seeing the standard ceramic ones go for around that price aswell...

[l0WRB]

that is a highflow!!! not sure wot kind though?

[R31Nismoid]

I'd ring GCG, give them the number and they will tell you what you have there.

[lou34]

where you buy it mate?

[BAMR33]

Might be a bit laggy for your r32, quick swap it for my r33 stocker jj.

[SECURITY]

you lucky lucky bastard!

thats definitely been hiflowed mate.

[PHATR32]

hmmm, its hard to say, you got any bigger pics?

[markimak]

ill give u 500 for it.

[fEkuaR]

lucky bastard.

[r32woohoo]

Well lucky me then

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

its not a gcg hiflow.. if it was you would see a GCG Id plate on it. and im pressuming since your asking if its a hiflow there is no badge..

but either way, nice score

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.

[LouLou]

Yep thats definetely a GCG looks exactly the same as mine.. nice pick up lol.

[r32woohoo]

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.

Lucky prick!

i got my rb20 with completly standard s1 rb25 turbo dyno tuned last night and it made 200rwkw, so with supporting mods ur car should make more.. Enjoy no traction in 3rd! lol

[Tangles]

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
