I sourced most of my parts from SAU second hand from good honest people, thats why i love this site..spread the love.

Paid $850 for GCG high flow only 2 years old checked by gcg , sold my stocker for $300 so cost me $550 and installed it my self, piss easy took about 5 hours and everything bolted straight back on. True direct bolton , nothing to change. If i can do it , any one can.

Apexi power fc=$950 second hand SAU

Nismo 550injec=$600 second hand SAU( need injectors to max out turbo potential)

Bosch 040 in tank fuel pump=$50 second hand SAU(needed to meet fuel demands)

Splitfire coils=$450 second hand SAU(needed to run bigger gap on my plugs, went from .7 to 1.1 coppers when i upgraded coils.

JJR return flow coooler=$450 new

3 inch exhaust turbo back full stainless=$650 wreckers

Greddy profec b EBC

Run stock air box.

Tune=$750 unigroup engineering

My set up is begging for a garrett gt3071 or 76r bolton replacement and retune but this exercise will cost me between $2500 to $3000 , to gain an extra 30kw atw on my current set up. The only way i would justify this would be to take a ride in a gtst making 280kw + . If blown away by the difference then i would do it.

For now im at peace with what i have.

Hope i helped.

geez i rang GCG today and was quoted $1900 to highflow my turbo. sorry but just to clarify, you bought the turbo from them 2 years ago, or? maybe they raised the price.

He's grabbed it 2nd hand i suspect, lucky grab @ that price. Most people sell them around 1200-1300. :whistling:

Although I don't know what GCG "checked", given you need to pull it apart which means a new cartridge @ around $900-$1100 before you start as its basically rebuilding.

So maybe they just looked at it with their eyes or something tricky...

Lol.

I was fitting a "refurbished" GT35 for a mate last month, it sounded like it had gravel in the bearings. Like you say, if it hasn't got a new core...

I have played with plenty of second hand turbos and not heard it that bad before. Mind you it is still running strong at 370kw.

Bearings aren't supposed to make those kind of noises.

I purchased the turbo from SAU forums for $850 second hand in good conditon. Called michael from GCG and quoted the Job number stamped on turbo and then he gave me the build date. It was only two years old. GCG is in my neighbour hood(condell park), went in and saw michael and he visual inspected turbo, he reckons it looked fine.

I wouldnt spend $1900 high flowing my stocker, just buy a gt3071r or 76r new or second hand.

When you are honest and generous in life things come back to you 10 fold. look after people and people will look after you.

Good quality second hand parts are all over this site and i have been fortunate to deal with good honest people.

Like JC says" love your neighbour as you love your self"

ahhh ok $850 second hand, thought i had missed something there hehe, thanks for clearing that up.

yeah well in that case if its gonna cost $1900 to highflow, might aswell cough up another $1100 and go all out with a GT3076R kit. :dry:

i picked up a used 3071 kit for $1500...was gunna get a hiflow but this showed up so took my chances, so far so good.. :D

Although thats said it probably wont make much more power than a good hiflow...maybe less and theres no warranty..

Just remember there is a reasonable difference between the two in response, I'd consider a GT28 whatever it is called, the next size down personally.

it will make it quicker... and that's what you want

i havent driven a laggy turbo car yet, though i think id prefer an epic punch in the balls sort of feeling than a constant fondling sensation, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

lag is ghey... 250rwkw by 3500 is more fun to drive on the street than say 350 by 4500

Hey guys,

With the 3071, which is the best housing to get for an RB25?

I figure that I don't want more than 275kw as it's a 1993 engine with stock internals, so i might as well get the one most responsive to around that figure.

Also, I'm guessing that these take the "normal rb turbo" style dump pipe? I've got a different v band sorta deal on at the moment (that's what the kkr turbo uses), so i'd need to buy one, do i just grab a dump pipe to suit a standard rb turbo or do i need a special garrett fitting? If it's a normal nissan one, i'm guessing that there is no problems using a screamer pipe? Is the 3071 with a different dump fitting a much better turbo? if so, i'd go that option, as I need to purchase a dump pipe either way (as long as it fits up with my front pipe, i'm happy)

Thanks guys :)

3071 with the original style 6 bolt rear Is a bit restrictive Ive been told and will only make around 260kw,Least thats what GCG told me.. whereas garret style rear will make closer to 290kw i think and spools up quicker..

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
