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.

i was looking at getting my r34 bb turbos highflowed aswell, but unsure on what it costs and maybe better to sell mine and upgrade, whats 34 bb's worth?

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

bloke from hyper gear quoted me 800 per turbo, so for 1600 vs over 2k for -7's its not cheaper

[R31Nismoid]

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???

[R31Nismoid]

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

[Dearlove]

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.
