Will be interesting to see what you get.

So, you have the highflow and a turbo back exhaust. Done anything else before the Haltech goes in (besides the "angry" eyelids)?

PM sent.....don't want to hijack this thread as much as I have already done.....sorry Danny.

Pics? we wanna see....

What was the cost for highflow?

+1 on pics!

As for cost, it was GCG Turbo's so it should have been as per the quote I put in a thread here a few weeks back. From memory it's just a tad under $2k.

id say the inside has been bored

looks way bigger than stock

i got pics coming soon

1760 it cost so far just for the rebuild

$1760?? bastards, lol, they quoted me $1955.00, maybe yours was slightly downgraded from what I'm going for?!

*Quoted from one of my many email's to GCG*

"Whilst the unit is apart, all parts are replaced with new parts, such as the ball bearings and the seals. GCG also fit a larger compressor wheel, and machine the compressor housing to suit. A full gasket kit is also inlcuded in the upgrade.

Once the unit is modified, there are NO further modifications required for re-fitting. Another advantage is that all factory heat shielding can be re-used, and the unit looks factory. The price to do this upgrade is $1955.00 Including GST."

Either that or the econmic crisis *wank wank* has brought their pricing down, I want you to take me for a spin when it's fitted man! I want to see what the money gets you before I invest in the next month or so.

they surely know how to charge sometimes :P i do have a friend who works there but dont get much discount at all..

i'll get you guys a receipt on my gtr high flows when i get home.

two turbos for about the price you paid for one..

nope

SAU member special :rant:

Woo hoo! I just gave Nick the application and cash last night, what a beauty! I didn't even realise GCG were on the SAU discount list! yipeee! you just made my day danny boi :D

LOL... but you are not a member... yet.

I nearly am :rant: Hopefully get my goodies posted over the next week or so.

lol i was a member a while ago lol

plus they did my gtr turbos ages ago..

so they still got some record of me it seems

You let your membership lapse? Shame on you!!

Danny, while you've got the turbo in you hand, could you possibly measure the housing for me? I need the compressor outside diameter so I know what will else will fit.

Im thinking of going to a Garrett 3582R or 3076R depending on the size, external gate to give me more room. (no actuator) They are about 200mm, and would have to be no more than an inch bigger than standard I guess for it to fit.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
