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

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
