Basically the new gen core is rated to flow more, the older core is rated to flow less.

If it's possible to use the new gen core with the internal gate housing i'm not sure, if it works well is another thing, you may experience surge with a small exhaust a/r?

You mentioned the GCG may bring back the 500 hp turbo, but woulld have to address the size of the wastegate in order to make it commercially viable.

Did they offer to enlarge your wastegate?

I once spoke to them about highflowing my turbo and I asked if they could make it bigger, and they said no problems.

Just a thought.

Any further reflections on how the turbo performs?

Have you done the 2nd gear from walking pace test? When does she begin to boost?

Sorry i dont know about a 500hp hi flow.

2nd gear boost starts at about 2200rpm and makes a lot of wheel spin at about 3700rpm.

3rd gear boost starts at about 2200rpm and makes full boost (19psi) at around 3800rpm.

It ramps up very strong and really fast in between these revs.

I did the same thing in my car as have a standard turbo for a comparison (mods are in sig). I did it by just idling along in the selected gear than just held it flat.

2nd gear boost starts at 1000rpm and full boost 11psi at 3000rpm.

3rd gear was exacly the same.

So to me it looks as though boost comes on 1000rpm later but spools just as quick or quicker than stock. You have got to be happy with that very impressive. I would like to see people do the same tests with 2535 standard gcg highflow ect for interests sake.

:D

The issue with the old GCG 500hp highflow wasn't boost creep (where boost cannot be kept down, creeps up as revs increase) the issue was with surge.

A larger exhaust a/r was needed to help shift the full spool a little higher in the rev range where the motor can consume the air better.

I'm unsure of the differences between the 500hp and 450hp highflows they offered, I assume it was the compressor size.

It looks as if the GCG Highflow on the rb25 would be very similiar to the XR6 Turbo on the Rb30. Spool wise. :D

I did it in mine today. Stock Rb20DET Turbo running stock boost. :D

Boost and surge under 2000rpm, as soon as 2000rpm hits it kicks and breaks in to a wheel spin at this time it looks like its wheelspinning around 2300rpm or so. :)

Just a pitty the power drops off rapidly after 5000rpm and peak power is made around 4400rpm. lol

Cubes yes , the GT30 housings will fit early and late cartridges as will any housing machined (profiled) to suit .

Garrett often sells cartridges without exhaust housings so the end user can select one of several to suit his/her application . If you look in the old Garrett catalogue PDF the "GT3071R" (700177-23 CHRA No) is sold as a cartridge without compressor or exhaust housings but there are three variations of both turbine and compressor housings available .

The integral gate HKS housings are the go and while expensive not as much as an aftermarket cast manifold and waste gate . GCG can get HKS housings (as I suppose HPIAB could) and if enough people were interested they could possibly market these with late "GT30R" turbochargers that will bolt up and take advantage of all the available technology .

Cheers A .

Got any pics?

No sorry, I only had the VG30 in my possession for about 15 minuites. GCG got it and opperated on it almost immediately...It was complete with dump, 02 sensor and in good condition actually.

Hey on another note, I went back to C&V for a touch up on the tune cause along with the massive power the car is making, some knock was occasionally observed on the Power FC. It appears that the R34 fuel pump is maxed out and A/F is leaning out at high speed (around 180kph). Next week a Bosch 044 and swirl pot is being fitted to keep the A/F line straight on the graph. Con recons the turbo is so efficient that with more fuel he can make a lot more power safely. After he played with the high end fuelling and took out a little timing it actually made 273.9kw@tw. 3kw more than before. So be prepared to think about fuelling cause the GCG Hiflow with the VG30 turbine housing sees the end of the GTR fuel pump upgrade. I'll post up the dyno sheet when i hook up the scanner.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
