just looking at my r33 today as it has a X-force low mount mainfold and 3" to 3.5" zorst with hi-flow cat and was thinking why would you go to all that work just to put a stock turbo back on it :D

so my Q is when you get a turbo hi-flowed do they use the stock compressor housing and just machine it out for a bigger compressor wheel? if so how would you tell that it is Hi-flowed

It will be very obvious, the rear housing will be machined almost to the wall and the front inlet (inducer) will be bored out quite obviously have a much thinner wall to standard and much larger wheels front and back...also if made by gcg they are tagged by them on the core.

1st two pictures are a standard turbo

2nd two pictures are a gcg highflow turbo.

Maybe like many others the original owner wanted to go further somewhere down the track. Hey, don't complain, get yourself an intercooler, computer or rewrite and go for it. Hey, don't tell anyone but I have a hi-flow for sale. Wink, wink.

PM sent. Cheap compared to others but don't need it, simple really. Was never impressed with it and probably not the best way to sell something but I am too honest for my own good. Would get GCG to back cut the turbine wheel or machine the turbine housing out for more flow. Alternatively, open up the wastegate for more flow. 220rwks is not much for 17lbs and I know it wasn't the compressor. Had it at 240rwks on the dyno but was only good for short bursts before the cooler couldn't do it's job.

Not if what your buying is shit mate, maybe a tuner knows a little more than you do mate.

just because he is a tuner dose not mean he know more or less then me

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
