XTRGTST-S1

The factory Turbocharger on a Nissan Skyline R32/33 GTS-T is a Ball Bearing, T3 sized unit, with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit, GCG replace the ball bearing pack with a new one, while replacing the Turbine wheel and Compressor wheel with larger steel wheels, making the Turbocharger Hi-Flowed Compressor, and Turbine end. The upgrade Turbocharger bolts directly back on the manifold with no modifications required, using the factory oil and water lines. After the Upgrade, the Turbocharger is rated 450hp.

Turnaround: 2-3 days.

Price: $1950.00

Ive heard the better options are 2530? series turbo .. Evil Weevil runs on best to ask him but honestly so much stuffin around with a highflow it doesnt end up much cheaper. custom lines, new actuator etc so just buy a kit n bolt her up ..

that doesnt change with the kit, or so im told. its supposed to bolt straight back up like the standard one, as it should as nothing from the out side is changed.

im also contemplating getting one of these GCG turbos. whats there quality like? and power figures? ive seen them get 230rwkw quite well and thats the power i want, but are they the best turbos for that power figure regarding response and reliability?

ive asked around quite abit and so far im leaning towards this turbo, what do yous think?

^^ completly wroung.....

evil weevil run's a hks gt-rs, far better then a 2530....

also there is no modification's needed to run a highflow turbo EXCEPT in some case's depending on the style of highflow your oil supply line might need to be enlarged a lil..... atp,precision are some other's in sydney.

My bad with Evil's setup..

My turbo is Precision so in my case it was a slight pain in the ass..

However GCG sounds good.. I believe life time is about a year? Depends on treatment I think thats with some fair flogging.

It was the water lines which caused a bigger pain and the actuator

Im also looking at getting either my standard r33 turbo high flowed or replacing it. Im in melbourne however, and would love to no some good workshops who do this work. Weighing up the costs, it seems cheaper and less hassle to get the turbo highflowed and jsut bolt it back on and go, rather then payin so much more to get another turbo to fit (oil/water lines etc).

Im not sure though..

Please help guys

for 1950 and only get a year out of it??? that cant be right. if it is ill rather pay the extra 1k and get a gt-ss. my turbo's dont get the easiest of times.

[DECIM8]

Ask evil .. Hes been there and done that.. Really PM him

[Landy]

Ive looking into alot of these pages and ive decieded to go with rebuild because of price. the mrs wont budge on the dollar amount and she thinks im only paying 1500 heh heh. I find it hard to believe that a stronger than standard turbo would only last a year. considering the stock has been cruising for 15yrs. besides i only intend to run about 15pound. So back to the origanal question does anyone have a site i can check out.

there is a group buy on the GCG hi-flow if you search which brings the price down to about $1750 last i checked.

a 2530 is a lower hp rated turbo.

there are a billion threads on which turbo and why but a GCG hi-flow is probably the cheapest upgrade (and getting all new rotating parts etc.) if you include all costs from removal to replacement.

[phat_man]

anyone want to shed more light on this matter?

[geraus]

When having your stock t3 turbo highflowed on a Series II skyline, how much pounds can you wind it up to? , im currently from melbourne, i would intrested in doing it to.

Thanks.

Thats interesting because i went to a place called PEP'S Auto Parts in Wetherill Park,noticed they sell GCG parts

I asked the salesman are they from GCG? He said yeh and claimed he was the representitive so i asked for a

price on high flowing my stadnard rb25 turbo from a r33 to suit my 32gtst.

Same parts and process as you listed above but the price i was quoted was $1100.

Can someone shed some light on that?

[DrewII]

the 1950 price is for a high flow turbo. that is, you dont need to give them your turbo to be high flowed.

the 1100 price was probably you using your original turbo and they high flowing it for you.

if that makes sense

[SLY33]

[DECIM8, how can you state that a GCG highflow will only last a year? Is this what GCG told you? It sounds like your making the statement based on example you know of, but i certainly wouldnt think that is the norm.

[666DAN]

Tons of good bolt-on HKS turbos in the FS section...there was recently a bargain GT2535, not sure if it's still there, can recommend them on the RB25 though

[wolverine]

my guess $1950 is the headline price for a ball bearing hi-flow with you supplying a turbo or an exchange price.

my guess is $1100 is a bush bearing hi-flow price.

$1750 is the group buy ball bearing price.

i could be wrong but calling GCG is the easiest way to clear up what's what.
