Don't think i'm invited, rb20 with stage 2 gcg highflow. It brings new meaning to the term laggy :D

boost curve is something like:  

2000rpm    0psi

2500rpm    0psi

3000rpm    1psi

3500rpm    3psi

4000rpm    6psi

4200rpm    12psi :)  

i only run 12psi atm until the new injectors go in next month and the car gets a tune

makes 173rwkw atm

Is this the 450hp r33 GCG turbo rebuild on an rb20??

As im looking at doin this myself, but thats abit friggen laggy...

Do you have 3' or 2.5' intercooler piping? 3' Dump? Is it split? Just a few things that have some say on lag...

It's the old style stage 2 highflow (rated around 480hp when they were still sold)

It will be a bit laggier than the current highflows that are sold by GCG which are pretty much the original stage 1 highflows (450 hp)

It wasn't as bad as it looks, in the end i just got used to driving above 4k when i wanted to go fast and it used to come on boost hard and spin up the wheels from 4500 to redline easily in second. Trouble was on the 1st-2nd change it would drop back below the boost threshold so you couldn't keep it going through 1st and second.

Injectors went in and shortly after that the car developed a mystery missfire and the engine started to get a bit tired (probably form being driven over 4k all the time). I wound up the boost to 15psi at the end as i didn't really care if i popped the engine and it went even quicker, regularly breaking traction in third. Seat of the pants it was making a fair bit more than the 173.

In the end i chucked an rb25 in the car. Running the same turbo and a manifold with a piss weak home tune it made a very easy 200rwkw on 14psi. A/f in the 11s. Still a bit slow to come on boost though.

I'd also love to see some sort of decent comparison between the hi-flow and the GT-RS. Having heard many differing opinions on both turbos (mostly from partially biased owners trying to justify the $$$ spent), it would be nice to have a more concrete set of performance results to compare from both turbos on the same set up.

This info would be particularly helpful as I'm also in the process of deciding whether spending the extra dollars on the GT-RS is worth it for me...

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
