Howdy,

Just posting to see if anyone is seriously interested in saving themselvers $$$ and getting heaps more power from their R32 and R33 Skyline GTST's???

I have for sale a brand spanking new GCG high Flow Stage II turbo still wrapped in plastic rated @ 500HP.

"The factory turbocharger is a ball bearing T3 sized unit with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit we replace the ball bearing pack with a new one while replacing the turbine wheel and compressor wheel with hi-flowed models."

Price is only $2000 where brand new they sell for $2450.

Condition is that you have to send me your old turbo or we can work something out personally.

oh and by the way.......I live in DARWIN :P)

Dude..

Please confirm with GCG that this turbo has a BALL BEARING center AND that it is OK on an RB20.

Last time I spoke with GCG in Sydney, the deal was that for just over $2K you give them your turbo and they rebuild it with Standard NON ball bearing center and replace the blades with T3/T4.

AND they have 2 options..

450 hp or the 500hp.

AND the 500hp was not suited for the RB20... something to do with surging due to mismatch or something..

On an rb25 they were both good.

But the main thing is the bearings.. If indeed they rebuilt it with BB center, then that is an awesome price..

However, I didn't think that ANYONE in Sydney had the Balancing tool required to REbuild BB centers.

GCG do have the nessacary tools to balance BB centre turbos, there is no problem using the 500HP turbo on the RB20..the surge they refer to is where the RB20 head runs out of effeciency and instaed of accepting more air from the turbo spits it back, this can be resolved with a port job and bigger cams. With having said that the 450HP turbo is better suited to the RB20 due to its smaller rear exhaust housing the turbo wouldnt be as laggy

watch high performance 4, they go into detail about this turbo upgrade. they use your existing turbo, replace both compressor and turbine wheels with t-04s specs + new bearing pack. and yes, they are ball bearing.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
