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.

im a 24yr old married man with 2 kids and to be put down like that just pisses me right off,thanks a lot guys thanks a lot.

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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
