hey guys,

just after some advise here as iam going to be hiflowing my turbo this week.

i got 2 choices

choice 1: (standard Hiflow)

this is pretty much standard, and they guy said will get me about 250 atw once its done.

choice 2: (PU Hiflow)

this is a bit diff to the standard, bigger housing n such and will get me about 280 atw

The guy said standard is more responsive and will spool at about 3.5, 3.6 and the PU will spool at about 4k revs

my car is a daily and i like to have fun here n there, not a fan of track n calder park n that.

i dont really knw much about turbo's so though i ask the experts here ;P

so which 1 should i got for?

What are you asking mate? Which one to go with?

For a daily, go with the responsive high flow. You might get bored of it down the track but its better to go incrementally than for big power straight away, both for getting used to it and deciding when enough power is enough. For a rear wheel drive daily, 250rwkw is pretty well fast enough particularly if power delivery is spread across the rev range. There's not many "traction holding" situations where you'll need more than that. Going straight to the lag of the PU highflow will piss you off if you're used to standard response...another reason to step up incrementally.

what are your supporting mods?

280rwkw with boost coming on 4000rpm is average. Should be sooner than that for that kinda peak.

My GT30 (600hp version) was on 4000-4200rpm and was 270rwkw @ 17psi, would have been over 300 with 20psi and that was with a .82 rear housing, not a machined OP6 (which is smaller)

ask 5 people who have both versions and compare

the std GCG hiflow has been bulletproof for years and should have lots of known users

the PU hiflow is relatively new, different bearing type, and may have other unknown issue, ask 5 users who have one

I've been using the gcg hi flo for 5 years,16lbs of boost daily,no probs. :)

did you fit it yourself or a workshop - if you, how hard, any mods to make it fit, how long if workshop - how much $ to swap

did you send yours away and then get the hiflow back? how long did it take

any install instructions come with it

i got another Question.

say i get an EPA right and i have the hiflowed turbo.

are they ganna pick on and i got get a stock 1 in?

That's the whole point of doing a highflow turbo!

It was sent to gcg,came back in a week mechanic fitted it straight on,it looks stock on the out side,but inside steel wheels and bored out. :(

Oh my mech gave me mates rates, $1585.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
