i talk from PERSONAL experience here

gcg hi flow running 13psi

turbo back 3" (std cat)

550cc injectors

500 hp fuel pump

fmic

hks pod in cold air box

power fc

and DAMN GOOD tuner to get it all working nicely

270.3 RWkw

so yes, it is possible and have the dyno charts to proove it.

13 psi?

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?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
