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 :)

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

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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
