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

    • 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"
