The highflow turbo will cost you 60% more to have done and there is down time while you are waiting for them to be done. The -7's are only $2250 for the pair or if you want to go get a pair of second hand N1's then they will do the same job.

yes im aware of that, but no one's compared it to the high flow's

As above - why bother?

You can get the Garretts for ~$1200ea.

For a bush hi-flow of GTR turbos its probably $700ea, and probably not far of $1200 for ball bearing cores anyway.

Im not sold on it being 60% more expensive... but the simple reason of its baasically cheaper to buy one news that are proven to work... choice is simple there

Bush bearing high flow is $1550 per turbo and BB high flow is $1800 per turbo.

Where did you get your prices from?

1.5k for a bush bearing hi-flow... wow.

hyper gear and so on, they are half that for a bush, as are many other suppliers/hi-flow around the 800-900 mark.

I paid 1.1k for my GT30 when i had it rebuild a few years ago...

-New BB cartridge (if the shaft comes separate, new one of those also)

-New front wheel

-Machined comp housing

Turbine/turbine housing was OK.

Most of the cost is the cartridge at around 400-500 from memory and this was from Rotomaster here in Vic

ye but they are bush bearing and so on.. you have a GTR, you shouldnt be attempting anything on the cheap

?? its not like its risking anything with bush bearings, ill loose out a few hundred rpm on spool but until i get qualified i dont have a hell of alot of money. so they might just have to last a couple of years

and so what if i have a gtr?? do you think the bloke with his gts-t thinks any less of his car???

Its just my opinion.

You have a GTR, you put the best parts for the job on as you've got the best with a good head, plenum, TT setup etc. Why compromise?

Buying a GTR and not having money are two things that shouldn't be put together... and again, thats my opinion

i understand what your saying, im just trying to get best bang for my buck, after all that what the 32 gtr is know for, lol

so my story is im trying to get the car ready for doing a track series of some sort (maybe the street series one at barbagello that no-limits is organsing)

so stock turbo's have got to go, coz i dont want to have to rebuild the engine if the comp wheel blows up

so if i can save 400 or more on turbo's, that my new coil pack sorted :)

also getting vi-pex because im after decent protection for my car...

Its just my opinion.

yeah true, didnt think of it like that, no idea what condition they're in tho??

btw can anyone see anything i've missed in preparing for the track

another point is ill over fill the oil for now untill i get new sump :)

selling the standard turbos will net you something towards some new -7's

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
