I have a highflowed RB25 comp housing with a highflowed 0P6 ex housing.

It has a new Garrett cartridge,shaft and wheels

What Garrett turbo would this compare with.

It was built by Precision Turbos and is rated at 550hp.

here is the difference between the stock ex housing and the 0P6 one.post-32255-1179911608_thumb.jpg

If they claim its a genuine 550hp

it'll be interesting to see if it gets on the surge train like a few other 550hp hi-flows have before (GCG and others)

Being the wheels are just too big for the rear they become unhappy.

You'll notice the surge regardless of what boost as it will be most prominent in transient response in the lower RPM range where peak boost isnt a factor.

Thats not to say it will of course.

Stick up the wheel specs like Risking said and we can maybe look from there.

Obviously its a T04S wheel by the blades, just what size is the question

Also what size the rear is aswell

ps. i see adrian posting, he knows the most :domokun:

mongrel turbos suffer surge and alot of the early GCG high flows do.

Do you know the actual wheels sizes?? with thme it can easily be matched up with the garrett items

I dont have any specs on the wheels Brad.

Im kicking myself for not getting that info.

My guess is at minimum a GT2876

And max a GT3040

without knowing the inducer and exducer sizes its next to impossible to say. Its depends soely on those sizes.

Bring it around and ill rip the housings off and measure it up.

Like nismoid said its some form of t04S comp wheel so possibly a 52 trim front. I had a bit of info on the common R33 highflows and wheel selecetions somewhere but I cant find it atm.

A quick call to the guys that did it and they should be able to give you wheel part numbers at least even if they dont know the actual dimenssions.

Well the cartridge section appears to be a Garrett ball bearing GT30/T04S but someones machined out the VG30 BB turbine housing and R33 Skylines Hitachi compressor cover to fit .

I don't think Garrett would use those wheels in housings not designed for them so not too sure . The current GCG Hi Flow uses a smaller 7/14 blade compressor with a slightly larger turbine of a different family to the GT30UHP . I don't think I ever saw the higher capacity GCG Hi Flow but if anyone has a pic of one looking at the compressor I'd like to see it .

As to if it will surge ? The only way to know is to try it .

Had it been me I reckon I'd have used the GT2871R 48T BB cartridge like I think Dale FZ1 did because its wheels are a lot closer in size to what the Hitachi housings were designed to work with .

Cheers A .

The cartridge is ball bearing and both housings where machined to the max i think.

Already i can see there must be a few specs of highflows out there.i hope this one isnt a lag monster.

The way to confirm easily is to read the numbers on the ID tag attached to the centre section. If you can, post them up please.

I'm aware of a GT2876 BB cored high flow, using the OP6 housing that performed without surge problems and supported around 250rwkW. Be interested to see if this unit is the same specs.

The difference in that approach to my 2871 48T was in the turbine, with lower gas velocity the compressor was not evidently enough to cause surge issues.

The numbers i got are:

700177-5017

Hope this helps

Those numbers are really irrelevant with a high flow. you cant be sure of whats in there unless you measure it and check for yourself. Ive seen tagged turbos done by very reputable places that were tagged wrong etc.

I dont think its that large. Ive fitted R33 highflows where the comp housing snout was so thin I was worried about the weight of the clamp crushing the snout!

Personally im not a fan of any high flow turbo unless you have it built a specific spec. For the cost of 3037's etc these days I go with something I can view a comp map of first. Personaly preferance though.

At the end of the day you have had it done so wack it on and find out what its like.

I was told by Precision to be careful with the clamp as exteme force will break it.

Thats just the cartride, generally you wont know what wheels from that.

CHRA = 700177-5017

CHRA = Centre Housing Rotating Assembly

As Risking said, some other wheels could have been slapped on there and you wouldnt even realise.

Ive seen similar things happen myself where the ID tag lists one thing.

But other wheels were substituted and stuck on a different CHRA.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
