Hi,

I am currently looking into getting GCG to high flow my current turbo (R33 GTS25T).

This high flow involves:

Turbine Wheel - replaced and upgraded with a inconel(steel) wheel , either stage 1 or 2

Compressor Wheel - replaced and upgraded with T04 wheel, either stage 1 or 2

Bearing Pack - replace with an XTR ball bearing package

Turbine Housing - machine to accept either of the larger wheels

Compressor Housing - machined to accept either of the larger hi flow wheels

Wastegate Actuator - standard or upgradeable to have higher boost pressure as standard.

There are two stages:

Stage 1 = $2250.00 Rated @ 400hp

Stage 2 = $2450.00 Rated @ 450hp, does require other mods i.e. intercooler, fuel, etc

My goal is 250rwkw. Do you think that this highflow turbo will handle this power?

Should I go for the 400hp or 450hp solution?

Has anyone else had their turbo highflowed?

Thanks in advance :spank:

I don't have experience with GCG, however to get the power goal you do need more mods then just intercooler or fuel..Do you consider any after market computer?

At 250rwkw, before that, you will hit the limit of your stock fuel system (injectors and pump) and AFM...there are lots of discussion post before, B-man have experience and similar to this setup.

Is it an inconel or steel turbine wheel? They are two different materials with inconel being the superior one.

Just make sure they upgrade the turbine and match it with the compressor wheel. We’ve had 2 r33’s with mismatched turbo’s and one surged so badly I thought the compressor wheel was going to disintegrate.

As for your question, go for the 450hp version. Always handy to have some spare airflow potential in your turbo :P

Thats one way of looking at it that I never really looked at.

Local turbo builders in adelaide have the same deal though.

Buying new garret I suppose would be around the same price possibly.. :) >

I guess the only bonus is that they perform well if you were going to use your old housing essentially.

I remember looking around adelaide and finding it hard to find a builder that will make 240-300rwkw from a stock housing.

Then again there is whatsisnames turbo.. Origionally making 216rwkw with 13psi moving up to 257rwkw still on 13psi.

only problem with the gcg stuff is that u have to pay them $2400 for the new turbo plus u gotta give em your old one. So it really costs u $2900 coz u loose the resale value of your old turbo.

Wow - is that right !! Sort of makes you think about it hay....

That's the problem. Do you get a 2535 for $2400 and sell your old turbo for $4-500, or go a highflow for $2400 exchange..

I still don't like the idea of running high boost. It's a shame the HKS's don't start doing much until your over 13psi :)

I wish Matt (Whatsisname) knew the specs on his turbo.. 253rwkw on 13psi !!! OMG :eek: :eek:

How about this?

A GT30-45 with the following:

Turbine bypassing valving-single or dual bypass

Boreless compressor wheel technology

Mixed flow turbine stage

Electronic bypass flow control

Ball bearing technology

Variable geometry turbine (VNT) flow control

GT30V-GT45V double axle vane configuration

Advanced VNT concept technology available

VNT looks interesting

They aint that expensive if you buy direct from japan.

U can get the new hks 2835 pro s internal gated with the T3 flange for $3100 from japan. I been trying to get ifo if it will fit in the stock location even tho its the T3 flange coz of the size of the housing on it. I just got the quote a few days ago from greenline.

Yeah but its too much mucking around going for a HKS turbo.

I am unsure if most of these turbos will fit in the stock location :D

Thats why I think the high flow idea is better..

Australian manufacturer, warranty, etc.....

its actually quite easy, pay the $$ and in about 7-10 days u will have it at your door step!

And with HKS u know its gonna work and work well!! Just the finish of their stuff is awesome

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
