I will be putting a RB25 S2 highflow on my RB31.

Geting it done with a 360 deg thrust bearing so it will stand the test of time. Hope to run 8 -10 psi for daily driving and 16-18 psi for when I want to give it a bit.

I have a Sard Trigger ebc and don't need to be running insane boost levels around town or when driving to work.

Should spool up nice and quick as well. At the moment I start to make boost at 1400-1600 rpm. Full boost by 2000-2200rpm. The extra .6L makes a big difference

I'm hoping for about 240-250ish Rwkw from it. But I do have the extra support systems in place as well for this.

I think the difference in responces from workshops comes from what a hi-flowed turbo is. Anyone can take your turbo and give it back as a Hi-flow, but from what I have seen GCG are the only ones that reliably deliver the goods.

I went through this process at the start of the year, and dont regret the GCG turbo. Additional benifits include the stock look - so no real problems with the police, the price (pm me) and the ease of instalation, and response.

whats your knock readings like? im having quite a few problems

they only reason you'd be getting knocking is due to your tuner.

it wont come down too anything else as you have all the right other bits.

should only take a tuner maybe 3 shots too get it right, sometimes there is the tiniest of adjustment required. I've had min tinked twice and its fine now, only takes a few mins :)

Hmm is their a physical different in flanges or anything between the RB25 series 1 and series 2?

And are these babys ball bearing? if not does a hi-flow include that?

I could be wrong but ball bearing is better for some reason yeah??

Andddd does the GCG hi-flow include a balancing of all components?

If anyone knows....

GCG ballance and machine all components.

They have 2 options - with ball bearings (a bit more expensive) or with a bush (a bit cheaper) The ball bearing unit should spool up quicker (but dont ask me how much quicker) I just spent the bit extra so I wouldnt regret it later. (Do it once, and do it right)

I am 99.9% sure all r33s use the same T3 flange, so there is no problem with swapping them.

Most appreciated 4door_Sleeper.

Some of you were mentioning how workshops don't really have many good things to say about the standard hi-flow's.

I spoke to a workshop last week to see what they reckon... The standard hi-flow includes bigger turbine/compressor wheels, however the turbo housing stays the same.

Their point being that you'd be pushing more air into the turbo but with the standard small housing the air wouldn't be able to flow that much quicker.

They also said for the price of a hi-flow you could buy a second hand HKS something rather (forget the numbers they gave me) but that would pull an easy 260rwkw on lowish boost, however then I thought to myself you'd probably need new dump pipe and flanges and a few extras which would build up the price.

Damn its a tough decision =

they are probably right with what they said there, but what you have to remember is that the stock rb25 turbo cant be boosted (safely) above 14psi. so isnt the point of having the steel wheels to be able to boost it higher, safely?

I've got an R34 GTT turbo sitting in my office. It's knackered, has a couple of bits missing from the exhuast wheel.

It's going to be high flowed at GCG.

Maybe I might put cams in before the turbo though.

I'd expect about 240 rwkw from and R34 at about 15-17 pounds.

SK is getting 265 with high flow and Tomei 270 cams.

That's what I'm going for.

I'd aim for that kind of power one day with the standard turbo.

Before getting the turbo hi-flowed I will probably get myself power FC and maybe Z32 and bigger fuel pump. Is there an advantage to having a large fuel pump inside the tank or a couple external in the boot with a surge tank, cos that looks pretty cool :headspin:

Any way I have attached a photo of the turbo which I purchased, can someone identify it?

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
