trying to gather some info on street response turbos for the r34 gtt.

theres alot of speculation but it seems like the gt35r is the way to go.

any suggestions and help would be great.

im after the most usable street response possible.

thanks in advance

Do a search for SydneyKid's specs on his R34 GTT using a GCG Hiflow turbo setup making about 270rwkw with stock turbo-like response.

i dont believe any highflow will outbeat a larger size turbo like the gt35 but ill have a look thanks

I honestly think there are too many people making mongrel-spec highflows with unknown performance. Exhaust housings are limiting in some and not others, a properly designed HKS, Apexi or similar is the way to go.

^^ exactly what i was thinking.

Silly question this really

You cant have both.

A GT35 (as spoken about here dozens of times), is a 300rwkw+ turbo. Its not going to have close to the stock response.

GCG Hi-flow (again, well covered), is a ~260rwkw with almost stock like response.

What do you want, power or response?

like i said above i want response, most street ability possible.

so ur saying the hi flow will out perform a gt35? we all know of turbos that only hit boost at like 7000rpm which is useless and not wat im looking for. but comparing a highflow with a gt35, the highflow may have the advantage hitting boost slightly quicker but i doubt it will make any difference wen the gt35 hits boost.

correct me if im wrong but the gt35 will composate for that second it does lag with the extra amount of power.

again like i said im lookon for response and feedback of course, if ppl have experience where a highflow has outperformed the gt35 let me know.

GT35.....LOL

Ill see you at 5,000RPM shall I......you call that streetable???

5000rpm?!??!? shit maybe im confusing myself with another turbo but i thought id see full boost at like 3800rpm

someone should clear this uip for me lol.

does anyone know how identical the highflows are to makn full boost compared to factory.

I think what they are saying is for street use, hitting boost at 5k rpm is pointless. Also said above, you cant have both...

i think thers a miscommunication here. i know i cant have response and power. im fine with a little lag, as long as when it does make power it componsates for the lag. im not talking about 5000rpm and starting to make boost.

okai how bout we look at it like this.

"theoretically", over lets say 150-200m a highflow or a gt35. which would finish 1st

call me lame call me a hoon wat ever, i rkn this is the best way to explain to get results lol

300kw+ at the rear wheels is pointless if

- you cant drive

- you have stock suspension

- you cant afford insurance

- you want to keep your licence etc etc

what sort of cars have you driven?

honestly a 200rwkw gtst on the street is fine

you can take down most cars and take anything off the line if you can drive and be responsible

a GT35r on the street is gonna net you seeing 100km++ before it even winds up and goes hard

so youll just amplify any fines, accidents etc you have

a stocker v8 will take you off the line no worries with all the lag you have

then when it comes on boost - youll have wheelspin city

guess it depends - but do what you like dude, no matter what anyone tells you, you will buy what you want

In all honesty, use the search function and read some more information.

There is plenty of info, and it doesnt seem that you have grasped things at all.

A GT35 is a 700hp turbo, where a hi-flow is around 450-500. How can you possibly compare apples and oranges?

Please read the sticky thread (dyno results), and then search on the Turbo frame numbers (GT35, GT30, GCG) etc.

thanks

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
