Just in the process of weighing up my options as to get a spare factory turbo hi flowed or just go for a good second hand GT-RS.

Its going in a R33 sedan, and would like to get about 250-300kwatw.

Any other options i could look into would also be great, and rough prices on hiflowing

Hey mate,

The two options you have listed are really the best turbos for a decent power increase without chasing too high a figures and without having to change much more about the car ie: keeping it looking standard.

A hi-flow on a standard turbo will get you up to around 240rwkw maximum

A HKS GT-RS Kit will get you closer to 260rwkw.

Now be aware that both of these options need some additional mods.

At the minimum you would be looking at upgraded engine management in either the form of a SAFC or Power FC, new fuel pump and if your going over 240kw it would be a good idea to do injectors to (Power FC required). At these power levels the standard clutch would also be towards its limit.

So in answer to your question :cheers:

I personally would go straight to the HKS GT-RS kit. High flows are not exactly cheap and from experience ive learned its best to aim a bit higher and do it right once, the first time. This kit will give you awesome response and great usable street power. You will be thrilled :)

There are some traders on here selling the GT-RS kit for $2800~

To get a standard turbo high flowed by GCG is approx $1600~

Hope this was some help buddy :)

Thanks for the help guys :(

Was nearly going to buy a good second hand gt-rs but wasn't sure if it would be overkill. The hi-flow question mainly because i have a cactus std neo turbo in need of a rebuild.

Thanks again for the help, much appreciated :)

GCG with cams= 260rwkw, brand new turbo. cops wont know its there

where you mentioned a second hand GTRS... and it says HKS on it.

check out the turbo sticky thread and do a search :( some epic threads on GCG's, GTRS's, and the GT30series.

Get a hi-Flow with VG30 rear housing, Im aiming for about 260-270rwkw with my auto after I get the rear housing Fitted and retuned with the Vipec.

A guy in sydney is getting 320rwkw from this same turbo in a manual, but I think he is running a forged motor with a few more intake and fuel mods.

Yeah that was going to be my question , the GCG Hi Flow with the VG30 0P6 turbine housing .

Internally they are a fair bit bigger than the RB25 housing so with other top end work they are supposed to go well and not have any extra turbine lag .

I'd like to see better wheels in the high flow but I think it may be a case of the small frame GT BB turbine shafts being too small/short and the larger frame GT turbine shafts being too big in diameter .

I am currently running the slide hi-flow max over size with the OP6 VG30 rear. The turbo has been excellent with no problems, but it is now time to grab some more power so i will also going the 3076 with the .82 rear. The best power that the hi-flow could get me was 250rwkw. This is at 17psi but when it was bumped up to around 19-20psi the power would drop of so the tuner left it on 17 stating this was the best power curve he could attain. He said this was probably due to the turbo running out of puff up top.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
