planning on an upgrade atm so just seeing interest for the highflow.

so its a R34 turbo that has had the GCG treatment. turbo has done 19000kms and have not had a single problem with it. no shaft play (always checked when serviced by RE customs). turbo is running 15psi all day everyday (No boost controller fitted) and with 470cc injectors the car has pulled between 236-242rwkw.

id be looking at $1200 for the turbo itself. for R34 owners can do a package with the turbo, injectors and 3"dump pipe for around $2300.

this is just an EOI atm and your more then welcome to throw me an offer. but if someone offers me exactly what im after or maybe more and has the cash ready ill be happy to make the deal.

dont have any pics of it as like i said its still in the car and it looks like a stock nissan turbo which is great for when the boys in blue pull you over.

im interested. what is the max 'safe' boost its capable of? what rev does it hit 15psi? what injectors and how many cc's? how old are the injectors? sorry about the 21 questions. looking for a turbo upgrade =)

GCG is a company in sydney that highflows the standered turbo hence the GCG treatment. they rebuild the turbo with stronger internal parts to hold more boost then standered. the turbo is ball bearing, slot straight back in with no lines to make up and boost hard from low revs.

if you search GCG on the forums there is alot of info about this.

I'm sure it's BB because it's just the stock turbo highflowed by GCG .. they're the #1 turbo company in OZ for new turbos and highflows so you can be sure you're getting a great turbo here. I've inquired with GCG and they charge close to $2k to highflow your stock turbo so this is a great price for anyone looking for a decent upgrade without the need to upgrade your stock AFM, Injectors or clutch ...

thanks guys

john26 ill see if i can find a receipt but chances are slim to none. i should really start keeping em lol

turbo is in the car atm for those who wants to see, and experience the awesomeness of highflow at its best :D

I have the same turbo on a rb25det. I rang GCG and they said it can easily take 20psi and when i did some research a while back found they can make around 270kw with that boost and supporting mods but im yet to get mine tuned. Looks stock and almost as responsive as stock turbo which is pretty good considering the gain in power and torque..

Good luck mate, should sell very quick

thanks mate.

ye i have mine tuend at 15psi and get full boost at 3000rpm and pulls hard all the way to red line. really didnt want to even think about selling this but want to push more power out so this will need to be replaced.

What sort of power figure are you aiming at mate?

I am looking at making at least 250-300 in my RB25, i had a quote from MTQ a place in Adelaide and they were a lot cheaper then 2K plus they were going to be rebuilding it with Garret 3071R internals...one thing i dont need is lag....prefer the stock turbo response or better

be looking at 280-300rwkw. highflow will run out of puff at that power figure so going with HKS 2835Pros. already have the ssupporting mods just need the turbo and bigger injectors and a tune :)

Mate you wont find a turbo that can make that power with better than stock response but this turbos the closest u will get to that power if you want near stock response. If you want 300 then obviously it will come at a cost of more lag.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
