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.

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

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?

cheers, Daniel

The OP6 housing is bigger than the 21U housing. Appears to be a highflow since it has 11 blades where as normally they have 9.

    • Yeah i get what you mean. Mine thought i wouldnt mind being a bit quieter overall as well as have the drone taken out is more what i was trying to say. Im going to start with a mid muffler, and go from there 
    • I'm struggling with a similar issue on an RB26. Make sure you know whether it's volume or resonance. Mine seemed louder when cruising compared to at idle. I downloaded a decibel meter for my phone. Take my less than scientific results with a couple grains of salt, but the decibels were the same at idle and at cruise. Mine seems to be a resonance problem. At 2500-3500 rpm, the sound is different and "louder" to my ear. I think it's vibration from the pipe, the car body, the floor or something creating tone. Anyway, consider that it may not be strictly a volume problem.
    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
