Kye not too sure on the price, but from what i've heard you can buy a stock one and send it over to Slide and he will replace it with a Hi Flowed one for some extra cash! I think Tangles has put one in his car and i know for a fact Sambo has just got Boostworx to put one in his and that may have come from Adelaide Turbo Services!! Mine was on the car when i bought it and that was done at least 4-5 years ago by ATS also! Great turbo for a not quite so crazy upgrade!!

I went the GCG aproach and am very happy with the results, I have since heard people are happy with the SLIDE highflow (SAU Trader I think). There are local (Adelaide) places who will also highflow turbos but my research indicated they were more reliable at 14PSI, but didnt make any more power than a stock turbo (my opinions and findings after talking to dyno shops).

is that all?

buy my rb25 turbo then, + get jeff to tune it and make 200 rwkw :P

lol might do that saw it awhile ago for sale and considered it, then got a smack in the head for mentioning it to the missus :)

was planning on going to speed lab too :D

Jeff is a wizz! Theres no one else i'd go to thats for sure.

The turbo ive got is pretty good cond too.. lot cheaper then a high flow if 200 rwkw is all you want. If youy want 250 rwkw then the highflow is a better option

With an RB25 turbo you dont need to change AFM/injectors at all... just a fuel pump and a remap

already got a walbro 500hp fuel pump but i dont like putting parts under strain....

wouldnt want injectors running close to full duty :P i get picky when it comes to my car

ill let you know i might just take your turbo as its a cheaper option.

cheers for everyones help

kye

tell the mrs...no turbo = no more sex for her

no, i WANT the turbo :P haha

picky is all well and good, but the fact is on my rb20det wiht RB25 highflow i ran 220 rwkw with stock injectors and AFM for a long time with NO drama's... ran perfect AFR's through the entrie rev range... day in day out :D

food for thought

sounds interesting, what psi was that on and mods used simon?

im guessing its all in the tune as my last sil made the most power after the tune. jumped nearly 40 odd kw :)

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
