I just picked up my car since i had the turbos changed, i was told the turbos were standard but when my mechanic pulled them out they were GCG Hiflows so i rang GCG and gave them the SN and P/N They told me they are standard r32 gtr turbos with a new cartridge put in and steel wheeled.

My car was running 14 to 15psi on the GCG hi flows now that the N1's are in i am only running 9psi or so, I havent put a boost controller in yet. Does anyone know why they are running different boost?

I didnt think you would upgrade turbos and go backwards thats what it feels like it used to pull like a train motor has been rebuilt and strengthened and the head has had a clean up. I know the N1s are are slightly bigger turbos and are meant to be rated higher than my GCG Hiflows, I am just hoping if i wind up the boost on the N1's i will get that same feeling back i previously had. At the moment i am running Standard Ecu that has been remapped. I have Cam Gears and new fuel pump, looking at buying a Power fc Shortly just want to get the Car dynoed in the next couple of days with the remap to make sure everythings safe. But i am so tempted to put my profec B in from my GTST and Wind up the boost. I know the standard ecu in my GTST was absolute crap are the GTR ecu's just as shit or there not quiet as bad?

nothing wrong with hi flow standard turbos for good response.

re the boost, when you run bigger turbos the same amount of air = less boost, because you have the same air but more volume to move it through. 14 on high flows dropping to 9 on n1s sounds more like a boost leak of some sort to me though

It holds boost perfectly the gcg hi flows kicked in pretty similar to when the stock turbos do, Also the gcg had an adjustable actuator so maybe that was set to higher boost.

No pretty sure i dont have a leak going to put a boost controller in tonight and wind it up a bit.

Then i have to go past racingline and get in dynoed to check that the mixtures are okay with theis jap remap i have got.

Thats why im hesitant to wind up the boost and since it's a new motor and the ammount of money thats been put on it i would hate for it to blow up because it wasnt safe.

Why what boost do N1 turbos run stock? cheers

we run stock piping and boost in the race car - changing from standard turbos (with no boost restrictor) at 14psi dropped to 11psi with r32 n1 turbos.

no idea what standard boost is with n1 turbos that is a real can of worms

Been through a few setups now.

I had the most fun with 300RWKW R33N1's@ 1.3 BAR.

Have 2530's at the moment, 17PSI by 4800 too high for my liking even though top end is great.

Thinking of going to HKS GTSS next year.(Yes have read about 2860-5 and -7).

Yeah ther only reason i went r33 GTR N1's is because i got them real cheap with no shaft play and no chips on the blades or anything i wanted the garrett 2860-5's but couldn't really afford it at the time and i just wanted the car back on the road. I'm getting it dynoed later today my blitz sbc arrived so if i have time before this afternoon i will fit it before i put it on the dyno.

Just need to get a power fc im looking for one at the moment to finish it off untill i get bored of these turbos and upgrade but im glad to hear you liked the setup when you had it and 300rwkw is what i'm really aiming at for now. I know the motor is built for alot more but i guess it will be pretty reliable for a while, I'm just hoping the remap isn't to bad and i get a decent number without the fc but we will see what happens.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
