It seems that many of us, myself included are looking for a good quality, affordable turbo upgrade such as high flowing our own turbo like the service slide used to offer. Now that slide no longer offers this service to us. I just wanted to see if anyone out there knows of a place that could maybe offer a similar service to a slide high flow with similar pricing and turbo results, these places can be australia wide. Possibly we can approach such a place and organise a special price for sau members or even a group buy if enough people are interested because i am sure i am not the only one after a high flow and chasing the 250rwkw mark. We need another option like slide used to offer and it could be good for their bussiness also if they produce a quality reliable product by having members using their turbos and word of mouth on forums and the street maybe build a reputation as good as slides for his turbos. So in short this thread is to gather interest and ideas and hopefully organise some quality high flows at an affordable price. I am sure we can if we all put our knowledge and buying power together. So any ideas and interest post here. Aso if interested post when you would be considering high flowing your turbo.

a few things to consider here

*Aaron was finding it harder and harder to get the parts required to make 'em

*It was tedious work that he hated, and he wasn't really making worthwhile money on them anyway for the work involved

I am aware of those factors and know of gcg and precision. However surely there must be more places around australia that do them, also give expressions of interest as depending on how many people are ready for one i may go speak to precision and see what he can offer in the way of either ball bearing or journal bearing high flows, i know i read somewhere he does do them but they were slightly more expensive than slides however still cheaper than ball bearing maybe this could be another option.

Wasnt really hard.

Plenty of places if you checked :)

If you wanna organise a group buy, then post in the right section, with the right detail etc etc.

Forced Induction is not a EOI section.

thanks for all your input and i know about yellow pages but i am after other peoples experiences also not just names of places. Is there anyone else interested and as for posting in the wrong place can it be moved if it bothers anyone.

Im not 100 percent but i think u can still get the "slide" highflows built by the guy who designed them, pm if u want his contact details. as my slide highflow is in the workshop now gettin a rebuild kit thrown thru it..He also told me some information that quiet cleared a few things up from my pov.

I wouldnt even get my spark plugs changed at that workshop without Aaron overlooking.

I took my turbo back to them after Aaron stop being envolved and they put 2nd hand parts back in it after i only wanted to get it cleaned.

I would have yours looked at when you get it back as you will probably not be getting what you paid for without Aaron there.

They also wanted to charge me the price of a ball bearing highflow by the end of the shit fight.

Ended up Just getting a GT3040R from Aaron and sold the highflow.

that is the point to find the tried and proven products and even see what other not tried and proven people have to offer maybe they are worth it and are a quality product. If i can find someone who is willing to do the high flow and maybe build up a good reputation on here with there high flows at a comparable price to the slide ones.

If you want a very cheap option you can do what I am doing one of these.. DIY 253rwkw

You retain your 2nd hand but, good nik ball bearing core and mod the compressor side along with the turbine housing. The machining and parts costs are low, the turbo makes oodles of power with little boost required 10 -14psi only. The ceramic turbine wheel isn't in danger thanks to extra clearence and low boost.

The power isn't shabby either.....for less than $400.

GCg are a garrett distro, surely they have more turbo's that the "GCG hiflow".

Have you asked them for budget prices on generic t3 turbochargers?

I suspect they would stock plain bearing, journal bearing units as well as the higher spec ball bearing units.

i think they even do other brands and not just garrett. And there are other places too

Hey Pete

I am not to sure if you remember me but you sold me my Apexi power FC by Auburn.

There are a few places to get hi flowed.

First the tuner shops like UNIQUE AUTOSPORTS, CRD, HILLS MOTORSPORTS, and a few other shops.

Here in Sydney you will find GCG and there is a Place in Wetherill PK and will do it for you.

The one in Wetherill PK hi flows for a few shop out that way and I am unsure of there name but it begins with a P.

Good luck and thanks for that Power FC.

i think from memory i have seen vanilla gt28rs's from $1300 trade price

which is very resonable imho compared to hks spec gtrs's

not sure on exact differences, one would assume its not hks spec compressor/wheel options but the same all in all

The name of the place on Newton rd in wetherill park is Precision Turbochargers, my car has one of their High Flows..They do alot of work with V&E Rigoli, they do a good job & also did a great job on my old tx3 laser t3/t4 turbo rebuild years ago..

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
