as topic states. i have a sliding performance hiflow. non max oversize and she runs out of puff at 16psi on my 33 gtst

i thought they were rated to 19 psi?

im not very happy.

fixed the leaking plenum and runing 17...drops to 16 through the rev range. it dosent make any more power after 16.

only managed 231 rwk @ 16psi.

i have all the supporting mods too..injectors,z32afm...ect.

i was expecting alot more out of this turbo.

anyone else have this problem?

cheers

it probably wont solve anything. im over spending money on power mods

just wanted to see if anyone has/ had the same problem with the turbo.

it is awesome to drive regardless of whats happening. i was just expecting more out of this turbo

I had the same probs... E-01 and all it would get to was 16-17psi... got it to 18 but ran out puff ... although I got 276 rwkw at the 18psi wringing its neck - ended up running around on 263rwkw @ 16-17psi...

Didn't worry about the lack of boost as I had reached the rwkw the turbo was rated at.... Since upgraded to a GT35R... Evil_weevil now has my old hi-flow!

16psi max seems a bit low for the turbo, thought youd be able to squeeze a cple more out of it. Ive got the same spec unit as you. being auto with piggybacks/stnd.injectors its about 40rwkw lower then yours at same boost. Mines got more in it tho.

bet you one thing tho - its bloody awesome on the street 'ey? if it aint broke dont fix it, or sell it and buy a name-brand item. for the price they are a good buy, understandable tho youd be pissed with the setup you have not being able to run that extra 1-2psi now and then. at the end of the day tho its just a power figure on a dyno, how it drives is another matter.......................................................

my Stagea is pretty much just nowfinished with the mods, very happy with my turbo choice selection. could have done better for twice the price but had a budget to stick to and will never regret using a Slide highflow. rounds off my overall package quite nicely.

i dont regret the turbo at all. just thought it had more in it. it spools up real quick and im happy with the power for the boost its at. but yea just wanted to run the maximum on it and squeeze more power out of it.

think im gonna take it back to him and run 13 psi again. i made close to 220 rwk on 13. least it will be safer :)

for the sake of 10-12rwk it'l be on 3 psi lesser, so meh

Hope you spoke to Aaron before questioning his products in forum?

i specifically said this isnt a flaming thread firstly.

i am satisfied on the performance if the turbo at this boost level and wanted to see if people with the same turbo had the same problem.

is freedom of speech not good for you?

what dump/front/cat/catback have you got?

custom bellmouth 3 inch front/dump stainless steel.

makes full boost by about 3400-3500 rpm.

i dont have a standard actuator, i have a hks one. the software in my ebc has been upgraded also

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
