Guest | hype^ | Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 any1 know how much youd be looking at to high flow the stock turbo ?? also what is the stock turbo?:confused: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MFX_R33 Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 I got my turbo high flowed by Precision turbos at a cost of $1300. My turbo now has metal wheels and plain bearings. The standard turbo is basically a T3. Jeff. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJKJ Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 How much extra power would u get from High flowing it... Just curious.. Will it reduce the reliabilty of the turbo.

PJKJ Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Sorry in regards to my above question I should have put what are the benifits of it and what are the bad sides( if any) Cheers Richmond Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYGTST Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 the standard unit is made by hitachi garett quoted me minimum of $1000 benifits are you can run more than 14psi reliably downside may take longer to spool up and it will no longer be ball bearing and no they can`t convert it to BB iv been told Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MFX_R33 Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 How much extra power would u get from High flowing it... Just curious.. Will it reduce the reliabilty of the turbo. I have got 205kw @wheels with this turbo at 17psi (this is pushing the efficiency limit of this turbo). The standard turbo has ceramic wheels, which have a tendency to de-laminate at around 14psi causing the turbine wheel to end up in your exhaust. As far as it spooling up slower, I havn't noticed any difference. It spools very easily with almost no lag (as with the standard). Jeff.

It musnt be if u r spooling at 2500 I got both sides hiflowed ($1000) and im hoping for 200kw@12psi. Starts spooling at 3000 full boost 3500 we'll see next week when i get her tuned on the dyno with the SAFC Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Sorry i meant to say u musnt have your exhaust side hiflowed as well with only 205KW at such high Pressure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MFX_R33 Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Macka, No both the compressor and the turbine have been done, but it depends on the Dyno you are using as to what readout you get. My car makes boost at round 2800. Jeff. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32755 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted July 19, 2002 Share Posted July 19, 2002 Ok cool didnt mean anything sarky BTW sounds similar setup to mine I have an SR5 Hilux as well and they both chalk and chees but wicked cars :lol: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-32761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MFX_R33 Posted July 21, 2002 Share Posted July 21, 2002 My Hilux looks the goods, and has a nice tan leather interior, but it is no SR5 . Mine is a Grinner, ex-Repco delivery ute. Full time LPG, 1.8l, 4 spd. It's a slug but it looks ok for a work ute (pics on my site www.mfx.com.au under Team). Anyway I have a Skyline to go quick . Jeff.

meggala Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Jeff just looked at the pics of you lux and line the line looks mad!! I really like the look. so different! and your lux is great for a budget build as well. how do you find the EMS is it as responsive as the the factory ecu how is it at low speed and rev's . cheers meggala Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-33456 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macka Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Nice one MFX Im looking at getting a 400R bonnet like yours where did u get it from and how much if i can ask?

Guest MFX_R33 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 Thanks all Meg. The EMS is good if it is tuned properly. I can't say that it is as good as factory. For top end it is great, you just need someone to spend the time to tune it properly for cold start idle etc. At the moment I still need to get the cold start tweaked, but aside from that it is cool. Other benefits of the EMS over PFC is the fact that you don't need the car to keep all factory or close to factory sensors, like AFM's (I still have mine on there but it isn't doing anything), plenum idle sensors, etc. I looked at a PFC but with the custom plenum and XF throttle body it was too much stuffing around. Also the amount of other options with the EMS is mind blowing. Macka. I got the Trust bonnet from Bodyform motorsports in Sydney but it was for a GTR and I had to do ALOT of modifying to make it fit. The GTR bonnet, believe it or not, is 20mm longer than the GTSt's. The mounting brackets had to be moved as well as heavily modifying the bracing underneath so the thing would close! It still is no quite right yet as it sits flush top and bottom with the gaurds but it sits high in the middle. Jeff.

dAVE Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 MFX - just saw your hilux - nice interior. Where did u get it retrimmed?? and how much would it actually have cost if you had to pay. My hilux has recaro interior and im thinking of retrimming them in leather and suede. Got any numbers I can call to find out costs? thanks Dave. p.s - what did you use on the dash? has it been painted, or covered in leather.. or something else?

macka Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Pete send a PM to Osc@r he has a 3.0 and knows abit about them i think hes cranking boost up on his etc as well hes a good mate of mine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/1679-high-flowing-the-stock-turbo/#findComment-34085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVE Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 thanks. mfx's dash looks so nice. I gotta find out how he got it looking so clean... currently my 4wd has: single battery k&n cold air intake where 2nd battery used to be turbo smart boost controller (12psi) autometer boost gauge tinted (got that done yesterday) and over the next month i am installing a stock r33 intercooler as a topmount where the old airbox used to be.. i am hoping for around 60+ kw at the wheels ! but hey, they are 45kw standard so a 20kw increase would be good.
