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.

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

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
