Hi,

I'm in need of a new turbo and want to hear some opinions. Should I hi-flow my current turbo, or should I buy a HKS GT/RS kit from Japan. I want good power but good response on the street. Obviously the hi-flow is a cheaper option so what do I get as a bonus with the GTRS? Does anyone else have these turbo's on their r34?

Cheers, Matt.

Im also looking for feedback on the GTRS when installed in a 34. It's the most likely route i'm willing to take at the moment (Slide seems to have a reasonable price), but just wanted the run down on response times and how streetable it is etc..

Also stock fuel pump and injectors should be fine at this level of modification? Currently tuned to 202rwkw at 9psi (i think its the stock actuator isn't holding boost at top end), so i suppose with a GTRS kit i could achieve around 230rwkw? Does this sound reasonable?

Mods are:

Pod

3" (to cat) -> (cat back) 4" exhaust

Hi-Flow cat

Splitfire coilpacks

Hybrid Cooler

Turbotech BC

Apexi PFC

Sorry for the half hi-jack yellow submarine. :P

Had a slide highflow, see my comments above :P

I'd be thinking along the lines of GTR pump and fuel reg, 480cc injectors minimum....550cc are good as with the GTRS you'll be chasing more Kw just to make use of the better flow and efficiency of the turbo :D

Boost drop on an R34....well that can plague the best of us for reasons unknown. If only it was as simple as actuators :P

GCG Hi-flows are a banger.

Same with the GT-RS

I'd just go on price at the end of the day personally. Whichever is cheaper as from what i've seen here results wise there isnt a lot between the two

Thanks for the advice guys.. Ill have to look into GCG more as i haven't really looked at what they have to offer.

The fuel system suggestions have definitely been taken on board as well.

Would still be a few months off these mods, but i guess i have plenty of time for research hey.. :whistling:

Cheers again

PS: Dan, So you have tried changing actuators with no luck? urgh.. This upsets me.. :whistling:

You name it, it's been changed....last ditch option is to play with the exhaust cam and see if anything can be gained there.

Someone also mentioned a HKS gt 25/40 for quick response and good top end power, has anyone used one of these before? How was it?

Steer clear of the 25/40. Poor response and no more power than the GT-RS.

If I was in your situation i would be looking into a GT3071R, very good results popping up on these forums recently with this turbo.

really up to your budget id say... pay more and get hks rs - ive seen rb25s pull 310rwkw with aggressive cams and stock internals - i think it was stock manifold also! apparently hell responsive.. mind you, i dont know much about the high flow turbo - but with those prices you cant go wrong... plus, i dont know about you but id say 260rwkw is pretty sweet for street trim..

well thats my 2cents :)

Yes HKS turbos are great turbos,but the for the money you could buy a Garrett equivalent and have money left over for lines,dump ect..

GT28RS,GT3071 or GT3076.

Reading your posts i would suggest the GT3071. As it is both responsive and if you squeeze some boost into it can produce the numbers.

But by all means if you want to spend 2K+ on a HKS turbo.....

Hey mate, i'd go for a GTRS kit if i was you, my mate Joey has a highflow from GCG, but it died on him last week, which only last him about a year and a bit, the turbo gets abused a fair abit, because he runs it on track n stuff all the time, depend what you wanna do with the car, and suit the best setup that you need.

I went from highflow to GT2535....I like the HKS turbo's very impressed, so much so I won't consider farting around with a highflow on any of my cars in future, HKS all the way :D

Dan hows your cams going? all sorted? :P

even though mines a 33....My hi-flow died and now have a GTRS being fitted, I'll post results when done :)

i saw your died hi-flow last week :laugh:

it looks dead set.. DIED lol...

Hopefully you get it back soon. :)

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
