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.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
