High Flowed Turbo Running Standard Boost

[picklesRs4]

considering getting a hypergear highflow on my turbo as i want something i can upgrade later on but still run standard boost and not break the bank on a nig turbo.

just want to know if people have had experience with it. already been through the hypergear thread and called them about an hour ago.

just want to hear other peoples opinions before i got ahead and do this.

cheers

wont be able to do this for a little while coz of parking in places i shouldnt tossing up between second hand standard as well.

Go back to the Hypergear thread and ask in there! Threads like this will get locked when the mods find it as the info is readily available on SAU.

i bought the standard highflow.

fitted it on standard boost. it works but its not great, buy a second hand greddy emange and have it tuned. i did and i loved it man!

Won't run well on stock ecu, needs an ecu and tune.

Not getting it tuned may result in a broken motor. Don't do it unless you get an ecu. Hypergear can supply an ecu for a reasonable price and a tune will cost about $600.

So in reality highflow 1k, ecu 1k, tune 600 = $2,600. If you dont plan to spend that much your adventure ends here until you can.

Then even if you do the above just remember thats not a complete package to get the most out of it, just the bare minimum to have the highflow WORK on your car with whatever else it has.

Good luck. End thread.

[picklesRs4]

as in it barely works. at all.

ignore the 2600 comment. can be had for a lot cheaper.

tune 700.

turbo 700 or less second hand.

emanage blue 200-300.

i got my turbo ecu and tune for 1400 bucks. that was ALOT of looking tho.

alrighty then thanks, so the product is actually e-manage blue? i guess i'll just be on google for a few days. second hand standard turbo did you mean?

[chilzzi]

Look around for a Apexi power FC. Don't bother with piggy back style ecus. Nothing beats a standalone unit.

You'll also need upgrade injectors (550cc min) upgrade fuel pump such as the Walbro or Bosch, and a bigger intercooler.

If you're going to exceed 220+ kw, then you'll need a z32 AFM.

After all these items are installed, car tuned you're all set for descent reliable power!

Have fun

Oh and you'll also need a good electronic boost controller to keep things in check.

Who is right and who is wrong here?

Me who is setting reasonable expectations if the person was to buy what was readily available and new?

Or you who is seemingly letting someone get their hopes up that they will score a steal on randomly available second hand goods?

[34GeeTeeTee]

Without knowing the condition of the car OR the parts currently fitted too it, anyone posting will be posting based on opinion only (E-mechanics)...

There is no real right or wrong in terms of the advice above BUT its better to give a worst case scenario based on the fact that it looks like OP is "saving" for it!

I would not use dodgy second hand parts on my car but it is a risk many take, and Plattsy has done so successfully!

Won't blow motor, ECU will just R&R and the car won't go anywhere.

Also stock ECU retards timing on knock.. will be fine.

Will just run like shit once it goes anywhere more than 0.5bar

[chilzzi]

My advice for parts, just keep your eye open on forums, eBay etc, there's always people stripping cars and you can get some really good parts from it if you're quick. Do you're research. Sometimes you'll get lucky. I picked up my high flow, injectors and z32 from one bloke, did a package deal and i got a great price overall. I got the PFC on eBay.

Half the fun is finding the parts!

You assume.

Its possible to overrun the safety margin given by R&R, otherwise we would all just slap turbos on and push past R&R like in the fuel cut defender days. Realistically most of us now realise you don't need to HEAR knock for it to be present, and just because your car is hitting R&R doesn't mean it isn't knocking.

EAD Plattsy Faggsy.
