If u use a T4 housing then its a hybrid turbo not a hiflow

hiflow uses the same houses with bigger wheels

The most common mod, I thought, is not to high flow your Skyline turbo, but go and buy a second hand VL T3 and high flow it with T4 kit, you then sell you stock working GTS turbo to someone who has killed theirs. The option is up to you.

After saying that I am currently getting both my GTR turbo's highflowed. I think they are the same as a single GTS ones. There is something you should do first, and that is to piss off you ceramic exhaust wheel as well and put a steel shaft in. You can then look at increasing your 42mm compressor wheel to 47.5, like I have. You can go larger but the Garrett guy did not recommend increasing the size much more then 47.5 due to the amount of milling they do to fit the 48.5 wheel.

Cost, good question. Steel wheel exhaust wheel and shaft $600, Mill and 47.5mm steel wheel compressor $200, seals and re balance $340, so its a $1000+ job. The guy at Garrett will only recommend 3lb more boost than standard.

Personally I would go and buy a second hand Ball bearing turbo, slightly larger then what you currently have, it will spool up quicker and be ok for 20lb. But you need to be prepared to do lots of work to run 20Lb, forged pistons, Fuel system, pump, inj, reg, electric upgrade, clutch and the list goes on.

I was quoted $2150 from ATS in adelaide to fit a GT25 Core in to the std. R32 RB20DET housing, using high quality bearings.

Boost response will be the same apparently full boost by 3000rpm but it will hit heaps harder.

it has enough in it to provide 220rwkw but can be pushed a little more apparently.

I've had a look..

GT25 - 350 HP ( Maximum HP 420)(Ray Hall Special) $2200 Australian dollars.

So with this turbo how it has Maximum HP of 420 does mean that my rb20det would make a aprox 400Hp when running in the peak of its effiency range??!?!?!

So really a 400hp motor should be getting around 220-230rwkw?!?

Wrong or right?? :P

Joel hopefully in a couple of weeks i will be buying a GT28 400hp turbo from rpm, is supposed to be easily good for 230at the wheels with little lag, for 2200 but it requires a few custom made pices to bolt it on but I would rather new with my old turbo than rebuilt.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
