High Flowing Turbos

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.

      Wheel refurb?

      The powder coating came in at $250 EACH. The TRX rims got a coat of clearcoat on the outside only.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.

      It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....

      Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
