Seem to recall a mate who got his r34 gtt turbo highflowed from gcg turbos for 1700bux but they are in sydney so you could perhaps ship it down?, dont know if the prices have come down.

Any thought on buying a garrett item or hks? tad more expensive but you can always sell your old one to make up the difference.

Depends how much you want to spend really... And if you want a ball bearing or journal bearing turbo. If you supply the turbo the highflowing/rebuilding cost is usually around 1000-1500 if you want to keep it journal bearing. Depending how cheap you find a second hand highflow or even a blown highflow would determine which path to travel. Rebuilding journal bearing turbo's is relatively cheap compared to a ball bearing.. as in 500-600 for a rebuild compared to 1000ish for a ball bearing rebuild.

If you get yours highflowed however you can be guaranteed that your banjo's and oil/water lines will line up... you also build a relationship with your workshop and get a warranty.

I don't know brisbane so can't help you out any further:)

Cheers.

His turbo is already ball bearing.

Yes you can send yours to GCG in Sydney to high flow. I have one. Yes it's cheaper if you can find a blown turbo to send them then sell yours in good condition. I just blew mine so the choice was obvious.

How does a GCG BB highflow compare to a similar sized HKS or Garret item?

Is the difference huge in performance and response?

Does Garret even make a direct bolt on incl. standard dump pattern for RB25?

Last time i looked, GCG was charging $1950 exchange.

i thought of going through the gcg high flow route but iv decided to go for HKS GTRS which is muich more reliable than the gcg high flow and is also a direct bolt on kit for R33

from nengun its 2600 delivered minus the cost of selling your good conditioned turbo

gcg charge 2000 to high flow your standard turbo. so for the extra 300 odd definetely go HKS

Mmm decisions decisions.

What sort of boost can a highflow handle?

GTRS's can easily do 20 psi i hear. Since they are fairly small they would spool to 20 psi pretty quick too!

Now I'm leaning towards the GTRS again...

Go onto youtube and type in hks gt-rs; there is a bloke who posted like 9 videos of his gtst with the gt-rs and it is amazingly responsive, frys the tyres very easily.

it will change your mind on the highflow.

Why rebuild or repair a turbo when its nearly the price of buying one new?. The HKS GTRS will love 2 bar.

:P ummmm for about 3 seconds before it pushes that much hot air it'll melt all 6 pistons.....way out of the GT-RS's efficiency rating.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
