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

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

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

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
