i asked isn't a high flow better and he said no,there's no power difference and all it does is make the turbo sound likes it winding up more.

Awesome mechanic.

also, you turbo charged your VN and say it is faster than your skyline.

well.. 3.8L turbo charged, with I assume some sort of aftermarket management etc, compared to a 2.5L stock car (apart from exhaust).

When you turbo charged your VN, did you use a "new stock skyline turbo"?

I still think it's funny he said "there's no power difference and all it does is make the turbo sound likes it winding up more"

Did he really say this or are you spinning stories.

it was a Garrett GT-30 turbo,FMIC,vortex fuel pump,forged pistons,much better head gasket as the stock ones kept blowing, but no aftermarket management and it ran perfect but if i did get a aftermarket ecu christ knows what i could have done with it,i sold it to a mate and he hasnt had a problem with it at all.

yes he really did say that,i don't lie,fabricate or spin stories.

funny aye! it must be school hoildays again

and WTF is that suppose to mean?

i come on here and tell you what my mech has said to me so that must mean im some school kid on holidays does it?

is that meant to be can or cant tell the difference?

He ment can't.

Come on guys lay off him a bit.

thanks,it just shows what wankers guys can be calling me a liar and a school kid all because of what another guy has told me.

dude

when u write stuff like that poeple are goin to take the piss out of you. hows it goin to go "harder" if it hasnt got aftermarket management unit (ecu) it will be running like a dog. i know this coz when i did all the blot on's to my skyline b4 taking it to the tuner's it ran crap. an excel could beat me.

the reason i said "it must be school hoildays" coz if anyone said to me a stock turbo is better than a highflow i would think they are dumb and if u belive it, you must be dumber which = school kids on hoildays with no time on there hands

... brand new timing belt.

my car is stock except the exhaust system.

my mate not too long ago took of my rocker covers and painted them and noticed the throttle housing was putrid so he cleaned it all and took off the plenum also cause it was dirty and he put it back together and the difference was the car was revving at 1200rpm instead of 850rpm where it normally was.

could that have anything to do with it?

A couple of things:

The timing belt wasn't put on incorrectly with a jumped tooth was it?

Are you saying that it now idles at 1200rpm?

You may have a disconnected line somewhere that is causing the high idle and leaking boost - it is running rough at all?

and who are you to say it doesnt go harder?

it didn't run like a dog,the only difference was it was chewing through the fuel and if i put the boost up too much it would start knocking,and it did go harder see when i was young and stupid on my p plates i use to race my mates until i got caught,now you tell me how this is....my stock vn couldn't beat a newer model v6 commodore,i get it modified without after market management and i was beating v8 commodores?

so dont tell me it did not go harder.

you didnt drive the car so you wouldnt know.

i didn't believe him,why do you think im on here asking about it?how am i suppose to know that a high flow would be better for my stock skyline running stock boost?again that's why im on here asking.

people on this topic said it might cause more lag if i put it on cause im running standared boost.

thats why im on here to find out which would be better for my car,theres no point of getting a high flow if its gonna cause more lag unless i wind my boost up in which i have no intention of doing.

man

my push bike could beat the new v8 commodores.

okay put the differences aisde mate

about ur skyline sounds like u have a boost leak which makes it loose power. check all piping vacume hoses. best way to check put it on the dyno it will cost u $80 for a power run and they will check ur boost presure and AFR

thanks for the info,i will book it in for a dyno,the closet one is in coffs harbour:coffs dyno & tuning but they charge around $200.

I take it you've never been in a 6L or 6.2L? Considering the VE SS's do mid 13s standard.

Back on topic though, definetely go chuck it on a dyno. Worth the dollars to get it checked and find an issue if there is one.

Hey guys, interesting to see the photos comparing the stock and hiflow turbo. i bought my s2 r33 a couple of years ago now, the previous owner had told me the turbo had t3/t4 internals though i didn't really take him seriously as the rest of the car was dead stock. i decided to pull off my dump after reading this thread, you can see what it looks like yourself. the wheel looks like it sits somewhere in size between the stock and the hiflow, so it may well have been upgraded. also, i did get out a mag wand, and the turbine wheel itself does not seem to be steel (only housing attracts the magnet). does this mean i have a ceramic wheel? so is this stock or has it been upgraded? also i see that zilr's turbine housing has 21U and mine has OP6 stamped on them, what do these numbers mean?

The Impellor could be stainless steel.

hmmm, maybe i need to do some further investigation... what other signs should i be looking for that it has been hiflowed? how can i determine if it is inconel?

tony -thought the stock impellors were stainless anyway? cheers

    • What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.
    • ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
    • Different folks for different folks I guess - for me, the 6MT > ZF8 claim is wild.  If I had a manual Skyline I'd be saving up fix that with a ZF8.  I went for a M135i, has the N55 which resolves a lot of the issues the N54 has, it already has the ZF8, is barely heavier than an R34 GTt, full boost before 2000rpm while also being real-word-faster than my old 280kw @ hubs R33 GTS25t and doing absolutely everything better.  There's nothing I'd change on it to be more like my old Skyline, tbh... it doesn't sound the same but it's got it's own awesome sound - definitely not worse.   To be fair I can't argue with most of those points.  I guess i was pointing it out as a comparison for a Skyline GTR and it's much closer all around there, like the weight difference between an M240i and an R34 GT-R isn't that much etc.   As above, I ended up getting an M135i which is in the 1400kg range - the M140 and M240is that you can get up till 2018 are B58, ZF8, RWD and in the 1400kg range which is a bit of fun... but doesn't fit the tyre etc of the Supra.  They are a run drive, though- maybe no an A90 Supra but a huge upgrade over a Skyline "sporty chassis" wise.    
    • Im loving this thread. I have a g35/900 t4 split 1.00 ar going on my rb30/25 with 9:1 and 264 cams. its drive by wire and with vct i think it should spool nicely. I have the 8speed gearbox on the floor ready to go on so full boost changes will be a thing if the tyres can deal with it. it should always be on boost
    • The trouble for me is the automatic takes away so much from it. And the E92 has hydraulic power steering. Even after putting in an LSD you're looking at re-mapping the xDrive to be more like a Skyline which is just a lot of effort for something that is supposed to be easier and cheaper. I consider the E92 335i 6MT to basically be the obviously superior car to something like an R34 GTT. Half the price out here, the N54 makes so much more power so easily, is a far more refined car, etc. You do have to deal with the nightmare of the N54's foibles vs the B58 which is comparatively miles better and if a turbo does fail it's only one of them vs two and a lot less pipe spaghetti.  996 or 997 Turbo has the AWD system mapped like a Skyline. Basically always RWD unless engaging the front axle makes sense. A coworker let me drive his 997.2 Turbo 6MT and it's absolutely tremendous. I don't think I'd want more power in a street car.
