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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
