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.

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..)

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 :(

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
