For larger turbos they make more difference than smaller IMO. I doubt you could even tell.

Just like anything, work out what you want from a particular setup, and then research.

And do it once, do it right. Much cheaper in the long run ;)

Well the highflow 34 turbo will do exactly what I want, the only difference is I have a place that will do it with ball bearings for $1350 or one from Hypergear with a thrust bearing for $860.

thrust bearing is poor in comparison to ball bearings you want to know why?????

not just because ball bearing actually spool faster than journal bearings................

but....................

because......................

it reduces the oil flow required for lubraction and it increases the longevity / durability of the turbo compared to journal bearings

Might as well have gone a gt2867 brand new if you pay that much + cost of 34 turbo

A good hi flow option from hypergear that will bolt to stock manifold and dump can make more power than a gt28

This is what I was thinking, I can get a 34 turbo and highflow it for about $1000.

+1 the small frame garrets are a pain in the ass to bolt up to an Rb and they probably have no more power potential. High flows are pretty under rated

Clint was running a ss1pu early model and made around 350hp from memory on pump98 fuel.. Hi flowed r34 turbo + e85 should see easy power with stock response. I'm my opinion it would make a perfect street daily.

remove and purchase -9 Pete or T51r or both lol

But effort.

Are they a direct fit to the stock manifold and dump Pete?

I thought so?

Again, i was comparing a hihg flowed ball baring turbo to it, not a hypergear journal bearing one.

More making a point at what you're paying for if you go for a brand new one.

Our "Journal bearing one", is more responsive then your ball bearing one, and last 10x longer.

Yeah I agree Pete, I'm very much leaving towards the hypergear. I want to get an ecu and injectors capable of running e85 but running and running in pump 98 until I either get a second car or have e85 scalable locally.

nah man. Clint was actually making 400hp at the treads

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
