Had a quick look at RB26 results: try this

18psi with high flowed steel wheels = 280 odd kws

18psi with -5s = 316kws .........

Only had a quick look - maybe there are others making more power on high flow steel wheels?? Post em up if you find them.....

334kw at 1.1 bar and pretty safe AFR's........with -5's stock cams & internals

A little more boost would've seen 350/360kw easy.

yeh its all internal man that why im getting mine hi-flowed atm

Hi flo is the way to go atm. Too much police attention otherwise.

Had a funny time last night with a handful of cops. At a breatho, and the cop had to ask about my bike, then more cops come over and for 5 minutes I'm talking to 4 cops about how fast my bike is :3some: I did ask "is this you as a cop asking or you personally asking?". Cop was right into bikes and would have talked all night. Had I been in the Stagea however .......

Yeah I think that'd be ideal, but do u know any place that can hiflow and steel wheel some stock 32's for the same price as some new garrett 2860's ? ;\ I wish I knew of such a place.... street legal ftw

(Tho having said that I'm really hanging out for nationalisation of the vehicle standards scheme)

cost come into die grinding out your internals Ben its not just a matter of changing the center cartridge and put steel wheels in and away you go there is a lot of work involved

i forget what thread it was now but someone asked if there was any visual difference and yes there is, wont go into details for obvious reasons

But $1250 ea is still uber expensive.... 15 hours of work at $80 per hour... does it seriously take that long?

-D

Yeah, I honestly think hi-flow or not, they will ping you regardless. I've seen a hi-flow and standard turbo off in my hands and I can definately tell what's what. As Steve said, not going into details but they are there.

It's not only the labour, it's the cost of the new cartridge and wheels also :3some:

SO

my engine seems to be f**kED :down:

has basically no low end power , shoots carbon water , missfires like a bitch , radiator fluid has particles of crap in it

seems to me its blown a head gasket though it doesnt blow bubbles through radiator when thermostat has heated up ??

its shitting me to tears , any clue's as to what would be causing this ??

have u also checked under the oil cap?

the head gasket might be flowing water into the oil

if that looks like iced coffee = BHG.

know this all to well from blownig a few 7m's in my old cressy (they dont seem to like high compression)

Yeah Mitch sounds like a head gasket, I'd put money on it.

yeah thats what im thinking ,

gotta love being unemployed with no money :down:

these peoples seem to think its bearings

i are not too happy :D:D:)

man that thing is so funny to follow

pity its an SR tho :D

Dont sound like no tractor though...... not a field in sight. :D

Shopping list has now been removed..... now for the rest of the de-ricing. :down:

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
