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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
