G'day All!!!

I am a new member and a soon to be proud skyline owner. I have read many threads on the site but I have not come across something I wish to know.

Can you visibly tell if a turbo has been hi-flowed.

If I can buy a car with this done already it would be great but I would also have peace of mind if I could make sure it has been.

My knowledge of the performance of skylines is limited to the fact that they go hard fast and sound and look even better!!

My thirst for this knowledge knows no boundarys so wet my palate please.

ok first of all i love yah picture has a lot of style , and too your question about features of a hi-flowed turbo ........ LAGGY AS F*#K!, hehe well from past experience they tend to be laggier than the bigger ones , but visual looks ok from the out side you usually tend too see a manufacturers name on the commpressor side of the turbo EG= XTR.

ok other than that its all internals ok you will find that the compressor side of the turbo ( or the induction side ) the mouth of this side will be very thin like about 2 mill think not thick at all .... std there round about 4 mill thick ok you will visually see the machine marks along the throught of the compressor side , this will be the only way too tell if its been hi flowed , well if you wanna take the turbo off and check out the exaust side well there will be a faair bit of the out let taken out too and maby even a bigger actuator valve and shutter. anyway if u want more info just ring up GCG turbo chargers they will give you the run down on what differences there are but ive given u most of them .......

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
