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 :(

    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
