Hey all,

Im torn between a Hi-flow or a new HKS GT-RS.

Looking for some personal opinions here from people who have used either of these or have had a chance to compare them.

Looking though some threads ive noticed the GT-RS has a slightly better power curve on the dyno but was wondering does it justify the extra cost for what seems to be a relatively similar peak power to the GCG hi-flow. I'm chasing street response, no lag monster suggestions please! :P

Well all opinions are welcome!

Thanks,

Dragonforce

I"m running the GCG high Flow.

I've been really happy with it. It makes good power and with cams, I've got a pretty fat power curve.

Check out the Dyno graph comparison website in my sig, and have a look at the power curve between my car and some of the GTRS equipped cars.

If I could have my time again, I would probably have gone GTRS or probably even 2835ProS.

At the time of getting my turbo, I'd blown the old one and the fastest way back on the road was a high flow.

Someone here PM'd me just the other day saying they really like their HKS GT2835 Pro S 0.68 A/R on an RB25DET .

The full kit may look expensive but they give you everything to make the turbo fit like all lines a dump pipe etc .

The call was that its very similar to the std pea shooter turbo right down low but comes on reasonably quickly - like a road car turbo should .

This person thought through someone else experience that the 0.87 A/R exhaust housing option cost that nice low-medium range squirt and for the small amount of top end it wasn't worth it on an RB25 .

The guts of it is that the 2835 Pro uses a slightly larger trim version of the same compressor family as the GT-RS uses .

Turbine wise its a little larger and a different family to the GT-RS's one .

Exhaust housing wise the Pro S one is a MUCH better design and with the 2835's turbine will make more power for stuff all difference spool wise .

Like with any change to a turbo engines breathing abilities you HAVE to tune it properly to take full advantage of the upgrade . This kind of thing is a bit beyond what the std computer wants to deal with and dito for the std SMIC .

Sounds like a real nice can live with it everyday road car option to me .

Cheers A .

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
