I am in NZ, a mate of mine was running a Turbonetics T66 on his GTS4 for quite some time and it did hold on fine until he blew his motor and the oil got contaminated and stuffed the turbo. It was quite impressively laggy given it was on a 3litre, though granted it was a plain bearing/non GTK version. I'm surprised to hear they are potentially competitively price in Oz as here they are really expensive, probably part of the reason they are never used.

Its interesting that in their country of origin hardly anyone seems to use them either if you look through specs of all their time attack and top drag cars.

Yeah you have to buy them from the states to get them at the prices listed before. Otherwise you can get them from Turbonetics in Australia for about $1000 dearer.

Ahh ok, yeah so once you have paid freight + GST then they are equally expensive...

If so whats the damage to upgrade to this turbo?

Who's the lucky bugger that works for Performance Wholesale then?

Off topic but is Wendy Mac going well? Do you hear from or see her?

Maybe you need to give Mark a call and have a chat with him. It is standard repalcement for you T51R SPL BB in every way. Got to love another 200HP......

Yep, she calls a few times a day. Busy working for KRE (her husband). I can't believe the amount of engines Ken pumps out the door. The guy doesn't sleep! Cheers for asking.

Anyway back on topic now - sorry.

Don't be silly, HKS aren't so helpful as to provide what kind of flow you should expect from one of those turbos. Aside from price, its the main reason I'd never own an HKS turbo :3some:

It's not HKS's responsibility to provide compressor maps for these, considering they are a Garrett turbocharger. It's like the T51R, HKS won't even sell the compressor maps for these. Garrett on the other hand....

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
