Quick question reguarding gcg highflow

Ok Im looking into getting the gcg highflow turbo rated at 450hp for my rb25.

Im just wondering what kind of power people are getting out of these and are they worth the money or should I just go for a gt series turbo?

Also what is the average max power obtainable out of a set of rb25 standed injectors?

I have searched and not really found a positive answer...

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks. :burnout:

Ok I have large fmic, ems stinger 2 full after market computor, 3' exhaust from turbo, splitfire coil packs, blah blah.

Im chasing at least 300rwhp.

I want to know if this is possible on stock injectors and a gcg high flow?

I rang them and they said there $1950 is that what everyone pays?

Is their a cheaper way?

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks.

dont pay $2000 for a high flow when you can get a GT for about $2500, high flow will give you from 220 to 250 rwkw but you will have to some extra stuff like exst, turbo back, fmic, maybe injector up grade, plus some sort of basic ECU up grade. eg piggy back.

why pay $2500 for a GT when u can pay not $2000 but $1500 for a GCG high flow which will do the same job? :(

plus the high flow will bolt on while the garrett need an adaptor plate?

370cc injector x 6=2220cc

which will support around 222rwkw @ stock fuel pressure

thats retail.

tell me one person who pays retail for a turbo these days.

Most workshops dont charge you.

2.1k tops for a GT series

hi-flows are well under 2k also

anyhow, injectors. There is loads of info

200rwkw give or take and your running out. You'll need to do them if changing from stock turbo.

And its not a question of what the turbo will make, its how much power are you chasing?

you can get it rebuilt with roller bearings or plain bears to make it cheaper but you are going from a ball bearing unit to whatever bearing you choose, so its probably a step backward

I have a receipt for $2100 for my Hiflow which included a new $160 HKS actuator. If you join the Skyline Club you will get 10% discount from GCG.

I know that if you improve your fuel supply the GCG Hiflow will make minimum 320 rwhp.

If you improve your fuel supply and specify and supply a VG30 turbine housing on a GCG Hiflow you will make around 360 rwhp

All ball bearing highflows are up around 2k.

Bush bearing are a shade over 1k.

Now that GCG have started to play with the VG30 housing maybe they will bring back in their 500hp variant, previously with their 500hp highflow variant it would surge and carry on a little.

The bigger vg30 exhaust housing will eliminate this hopefully. :thumbsup:

Might even nudge 290-300rwkw IF a big IF they can get the wastegate flowing enough to prevent boost creeping through the roof. :D

One thing no ones ever mention is which type of turbo (bearings) last longer under extreme usage. I've had hiflo/rebuild last 6 months and die. When I switched to new b/b one, never had a premature failure, and my driving habits hasn't change.

300rwhp is about 224rwkw.

You should be able to get awefully close to this figure on stock injectors.

At worst a rising rate regulator may be required to bump the pressure a little.

300rwhp is easily achievable on a GCG high flow.

Hope that helps you.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!
