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. :)

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
