I have a GTR33 and want more power so i was thinking should i buy a set of GT2530 or should i hi flow the standard GTR ones depending on cost. Does anyone know how much either path will cost.????

Im thinking i wont need more power than the max flow of the standard b/c i dont want to fork out for Injectors, Fuel pump etc...

Im trying to keep the performance upgrade to a min cost, your help is much appreciated.

Cheers

???

I know one thing for sure and that is that when a turbo is HIGH FLOWED, they open the turbo up, machine the inlet and outlet, machine the blades, replace seals and bearings and re-oil and clean and put back together and so on, so basically it is like a rebuild.

This alone cost about $900 - $1300 per turbo depending on where you take it.

Now you've got 2 to do so you add up the numbers.

Once all this is done however, you have basically 2 brand new turbos...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the GTR's also have Ceramic exhaust blades? If so, and you want to run high boost, you might need to get them changed to steel.

It might be a cheaper alternative to get new turbo's and sell off the stock items on the forums..

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
