Hi guys,

My partner just blew the turbo while I was driving right next to her. No boost and a horrible (Awesome?) squealing sound.

Now I've heard of people getting a hypergear highflow/rebuild, as well as GCG.

I'm basically looking for cost effectiveness, happy with a slightly above standard rebuild but no more and not chasing power either. Who/what have people gone with and what are the recommendations?

Based in Canberra, if that helps. And if anyone has a spare they want to sell, I'll take it!

P.S - I did search but kept getting timeout errors

Cheers,

Sean

one simple answer, gcg = ball bearing highflow, hypergear = bush bearing highflow. i realize your have a v6 and i have an rb25 but i just had the same thing happen and from all the stuff i looked at hypergear is your most cost effective answer. he will make you a turbo to suit your needs.

I can't help you with that one sorry. I'm sure the M35 guys will spy this thread soon enough and give you all the info you need. If your keen you could check out the M35 forum some of the guys on here setup, might find some info over there, from memory it's m35stagea.info

We had Hypergear high flow an M35 turbo to close to stock specs (ended up being a sort of "2861" core).

It was a bush bearing job and the owner was very happy with the end result and the price was quite good.

Send GlennM35 a PM, is in Canberra too and may still have his car (haven't heard from him in a while)

The GCG high flow is massively laggy and definitely not for someone who wants a stock type of rebuild.

Andy - What was the costing on your turbo?

Jetwreck - PM'd

As was mentioned above. $1350.

This turbo is slightly laggier than stock but has strong mid range and comes on very strong from 3000rpm. Positive boost starts to build from about 2200rpm.

Hey guys,

Got a few quotes for anyone interested in the future -

GCG $1380 excl shipping

Hypergear $990 incl shipping (slightly larger proficle, bush bearing core)

My mechanic can't fit me in and the next best quote for turbo replacement is $2500.00 labour!!

So needless to say, I'll be attempting the work myself over a number of days (engine in) if anyone has a few tips to help me out, or some specialty tools they found useful.

Any tips? Turbo still in car, ready to be removed when I have time though

Cheers,

Sean

Aaron should be able to help...he got it out in 2 hours! That's with the engine in!

Time for a "how to" guide Aaron? Certainly not a job I'm looking forward to.pinch.gif

Or is that due to your lack of factory heat shields?

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
