Hiflows you're looking at places like MTQ or GCG to make them.

Yes you will make more power, no they aren't cheap (~2kish).

I have a huge hiflow neo on my stag and while it makes good power, it's laggy as hell heh

I bought the stag with the highflow, personally I wouldn't do one myself.

mmm atm i have full zorst, bosch fuel pump, pod , cooler ,clutch , .. think thats bout it ..

i wasnt really looking for heaps of power just a little more .. i didnt want to change to many things i just wanted a bolt on turbo coz my1 is fkd ... but maybe its not the best idea ?????

i think sum guy is selling 1 for $380 + to fit ...

im not to crazy bout getting heaps of power but i was hoping to find out if it will be better ... and i also hav a safc (would it help and wats a good place to go and get that put in my car and tuned )

thanks guys for helping me out ...

cheers

I think your best bet would be to replace with a stock one in good nick. I just sold mine for $320 with lines and it was in good condition so there easy to find for a good price.

If you replaced with a high flow and tuned with the safc and the current mods you probably wouldnt have alot over the stock maybe 20rwkw extra. Is that worth $2300 + install.

Just getting a highflow without other supporting mods is like doing less then half the job. You really need larger injectors,boost controller, z32 afm and a complete replacement ecu ontop of what you have already.

Is that $380 for a stock turbo or high flow, cause thats way to cheap for a high flow?

You probably wouldnt get any more power with a stock turbo replacement and tune on the safc but the response and delivery would be so much better.

hiflow for $380?! I doubt it but if it IS actually a hiflow.. and not rooted.. buy it!

Your cheapest option to get you back on the road is another stock turbo.

If you want a bit more power but not heaps then look at a small aftermarket turbo like a 2530 or something.

SAFC will be OK for minor mods but as soon as you start putting bigger turbos on that push a lot more air than stock, you really need a proper EMS.

ohh thanks for the info guys .. thanks for helping me out ...

mmmm still not sure wat to do but now i no wat im looking at ...

well the guy sed it is a ball bearing hi flow for $380 and hes geting it next month ...

i think the place is called KYP or su,thing like that .?????? duz it sound abit sus...wat do u guys thing to good to be tru ?????

id like a lil more power but i dont wonna start sumhing and not finish it ... thanks again guys

Kyp are pretty reliable I think (although he did sell me what was supposed to be an R32 GTSt tailshaft.. I then used that as a template for my custom tailshaft which turned out to be wrong and cost me a few hundred dollars more..)

oh ok then i myt talk to him and see if it really is a hi flow then .. thanks man ..

hay bubba would you no wat else i would hav to do to my car if i was to buy a 2530 turbo like you sed ..

would i need much more mods and dus this turbo bolt on ??how much would i be looking at ??cheers mate

Probably a custom dump pipe, *maybe* a new intake pipe (you may have to fiddle with the piping to get it to meet your current piping).

Turbo will bolt onto the stock manifold but to make use of all the extra air some bigger injectors and some aftermarket management will be needed (and bigger airflow meter depending on what sort of ecu you go for).

Really, you'll be needing bigger injectors and some decent management with a hiflow turbo anyway depending on how much you lean on it..

My Stag has a HUGE hiflow.. it's making ~240awkw @ 12psi but because it's so big it's laggy as hell.. injectors maxed at 15psi so I'm going to get some bigger ones as if I have to live with this laggy turbo it might aswell make all the power it can.. possibly good for 280awkw @ 18psi :D

My point is, anything bigger than standard is going to flow more air, more air means more fuel and better ways to measure the air. You seem to have the bulk of the supporting mods done except for the ECU and injectors.

Also, if you have the cash then a HKS *kit* will have everything required to bolt on but you'll still need injectors and ECU ;)

No probs dude, good luck :D

Oh and see if KYP are willing to get that "hiflow" checked out by a turbo specialist.. take it down to MTQ and they'll be able to tell you if it's hiflowed or not.. if it is then $380 is a fkn good price!

Hi flow your own stock turbo. Use pliers to steepen up the angle of the blades. The only difference between the stock turbo on your car and a RB26 is this. It also helps your suspension.

This rates up there with stupidest posts of all time.

You can also retune the ecu by attaching it to an arc welder for a few seconds, for extra power :(

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
