One thing that has been lingering at the back of my mind since I've had my GCG 5 years ago (no longer have that turbo anymore) was- I have read in other threads back then discussing the Garrett 7 blade compressors, they were a very old design, and not really responsive compared to the more modern 6 blade etc. those topics were referring to other Garrett turbos like 3040 etc

Since GCG highflows are 7 blade as well, and likely to be using Garrett parts, does the above re Garrett 7 blade apply?

The main issue is the GCG Garrett cores don't seem to like being shoved into small housings and boosted hard, I suspect high manifold pressure increases thrust load on the bearings to the point of early demise. The M35 Stagea ones they made all had wicked bearing whine in no time. The moral of the story should be to keep a Garrett chra in Garrett housings for best results.

Added to the fact Hypergear's SS2 billet compressor highflow wipes the floor with GCG's offering for half the coin... I just don't see the point just to retain a BB cartridge, it is impossible to tell the difference between a good bush core and BB's these days imo.

Hypergear can of course make BB and ceramic BB cores if you are keen, but I am more than happy with the ss2 bush core in my evo.

The ss2 evo highflow needs a new larger turbine

I end up sending back my evo slss2 turbo and sourced my own o6h4 turbine off eBay America for hypergear to fit

Made it 500rpm more responsive and a lot more torquier down low and cracked 303awkw on 28psi on rigoli dyno

So there is more in it? I have a 2.3 and can't see how it could make any more torque down low, it is very strong off boost already. I will speak to Stao about it, I only just got it up and running but I am impressed with it so far, 260 at 20 seems pretty good, the response is excellent so far.

Funny the L2 reversion wheel is actually too small for the evo. That looked like a reversed TD06H turbine which worked out even better, they must got a well flowed head from factory.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
