So you guys really rate the GCG hi-flow as the best option for the 34GTT?  I have an auto as well and probably chasing 250rwkw for the time being.  How much extra kw will this turbo give just by itself :D  I'm currently on about 200 so I don't know.  If it's a long way off, I might as well get a different turbo.

We rate it as a good comprimise. An upgraded turbo needs supporting mods like injectors, fuel pump etc. to be used properly.

Pick a power figure then pick a turbo to suit. You don't want 250rwkw with a 2835ProS because you are wasting the turbos top end and therefore introducing needless lag. But if you can get 250 with a GCG highflow without getting out of its efficiency zone then you have chosen the right turbo for your required power. (And saved yourself a big pile of money in the process:D)

Search!!!

Since i searched this to death recently... :

without cams most are getting 230-250rwkw, mostly 240-250, some are around 220-230 (and seem to have been a little disappointed)

with cams up to 265 eg SK's cars

I spent a lot of time trying to compare GCG hiflows Vs HKS GT-RS, but i can't find many power figures for the HKS item :( they seem fairly similar though...

All the information you guys need is already on here.

For a GT-RS or GCG highflow you will need injectors, fuel pump, probably a fuel regulator, full exhaust, high flow panel filter or pod in a box, some sort of engine management and modification or replacement of the AFM to turbo pipe which will suck closed at this power level.

A GT-RS is a slight step up from the GCG HF. People have achieved 300rwkw with cams. If you high flow an R33 turbo you will not get as much power as a highflow of the R34 turbo as the exhaust housing is bigger on the R34. An alternative is to put a VG30 rear housing on the R33 turbo.

I've got 480cc Nismo injectors. I don't know/remember what Bass Junky has used. Also, did you go to Z32 AFM Bass?

i had my car dyno'd the other day as i had a ebc fitted to stop rich retard or boost cut or whatever it was. With stock computer and boosted to 10psi i only pulled 160rwkw. I have blitz lm fmic 3" exhaust filter. That seems a little low what do you guys think. Its and auto r34 by the way.

Bass,

Id like to compare your car to mine as i pulled 244 rwkw in my R33 HKS 2535 on 14psi (no cams), on the Racepace dyno.

It would be interesting to see how they compare!

Can i race the winner, ive got a 2535 and only pushed 231rwkw.

thanks bass.

was that with same mods as me? ie I/C exhaust?

i have bought emanage ultimate and am waiting for an ignition signal adaptor to come so i can fit it. I wonder how much more power i get. How much did you get with computer?

SK's 265rwkw figure was recorded in Shootout mode which at 250rwkw reportedly gives about 10-15 rwkw higher figure.

Quick clarificatin, we have been able to duplicate the 265 rwkw (+ or - a couple of rwkw) in non Shoot Out mode. Several times during winter with ambient temperatures in the mid teens and inlet (to the filter) temps just under 20 degrees.

It is one of the reasons why I can confidently say that Shoot Out mode doesn't ALWAYS give higher power readings. Well, not on our dyno anyway.

:( cheers :(

What is the most power you can get out of a GCG hi-flow with all supporting mods on an R33 GTS-T manual?

We have seen an R34GTT (R34GTT turbine housing) with 275 rwkw. That's on Sydney Optimax. If I remember rightly Bullant (Ian) acheived similar with his R33GTST using a VG30 turbine housing. Using Elf TurboMax I have seen 310 rwkw.

:( cheers :(

OK so a GCG hi-flow would be good for up to about 250rwkw... after a decent tune. I'm assuming that the SAFCII won't be good enough for tuning purposes?

So for all supporting mods:

1 x hi flo turbo or similiar

1 x new fuel pump

1 x adjustable fule reg

1 x new management system???

Would you guys reccomend getting new injectors or would the R34 stock injectors be good for 250rwkw?

    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
    • That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
