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.

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
