driver.

youve been racing yours @ the strip for a while now remember

Private road and rolling runs, not much any driver can't do except change one gear (2nd to 3rd). No offence, but mine felt punchier too and as expected it should running closer to 20psi against 14psi.

i dunno, my car with 270 hauled some serious a$$... there is no doubt about that.

Bass's comes on waaay earlier than mine did and it feels pretty damn fast to me as i was in it the other day.

For a daily driver thats the turbo i would want. Mine wasnt really a daily so it didnt matter.

The GCG hi-flow from being in the car has very linear power delivery.

As reflected by the power curve, where are mine was a little laggier but by christ it hauled once it was on and i got to 3rd hehehe

The GCG being smaller doesnt need that long to get going. Im happy to say that they are of excellent quality

Not getting into a workshop/dyno battle or whatever. Its not called for, certainly not in a good thread like this. I doubt RPM is differnt to most places. The inertia settings there are different to other places etc

Many things affect it all, like how long its been since calibration and what not etc etc. long long list.

Im sure it is quick, so your saying boosting Bass's car up, is not going to achieve much. Coz 250rwkw at 14psi is certainly high and thats why i had to feel silvas 244rwkw coz i didnt really beleive it at that psi.

I know dynos get regularly serviced but my mate has one and i was spewing when he told me that my old readings where 20 rwkw high as the barometric pressure were reading incorrect. And he showed me how air intakes readings can increase readings as well. So now, i tend to look at the data on the bottom of dyno graphs.

250rwkw at 14psi when its not even in the turbos effeceint range sounds a little too high.

I'd say the turbo at 14psi would be smack in the middle of its efficiency..

Going by the fact that some others with this same turbo *r34/vg30 turbine housing* have made 270rwkw.

The R34/VG30 turbine is a .7 something, as a result less back pressure, less reversion and higher VE.

The GT28 & 30 are in the meat of their efficiency at around 1bar according to the compressor maps in the garrett catalogue. Its not directly comparable as the GCG unit does run a smaller comp cover.

Any one know what comp wheel the GCG highflow uses? GT28 or GT30?

It would be interestering to see the boost a Non-Neo RB25DET with stock cams would need to make the same power as Bass.

well he simply cant due to the pinging issues he has/comp related to the NEO.

As cubes said, if its right on the song then thats where it is.

Anyone got a comp map of the GCG to have a bit of a look-see?

Does one exist?

If not then its like all other hi-flows, basically a gamble that no-one knows what or how its going to perform on any given spec'd motor

If maybe he dropped it via a nice big gasket it would be interesting to see what it can do, if anything. Only one way to find out really isnt there?

Over to your H/G hunting Poiter :P even though i know you aint getting one lol.

There isn't a map available I'm told by GCG. Also I'm pretty sure it's the GT30 core but I can't remember how I know that.

As we all know there are heaps of variables in engines. Dropping the compression in Bass' car might only net him the same power at more boost.

For every 0.5 drop in compression ratio you need roughly 0.2 bar increase in boost to achieve the same power.

This is why I was never going to go down to 8.2 as someone recommended because I would have needed to push about 1.25 bar just to keep the same power I had at 0.85 bar previously.

I was told by ATS (who forward customer on to the GCG hiflow option, so theyve got nothing to gain by making up dodgy info) that the cores are GT30 and ground down to suit the specific application....... as best as my memory serves me.

Hope that helps.

Mine gathers dust.

Mine gathers dust faster than yours.... but my dust-dyno has different settings so i dunno now! :P

I clicked on this thread expecting to read about your rebuild... 1 post for the rebuild, 4 pages for off-topic convo haha, still a good read :)

It is about my rebuild but it was also supposed to be a repository for NEO info which it has turned out to be.

Shonen - you're obsessed with highmount. I'm more likely to put nos on it than a highmount. That said, a 2835ProS would be nice but I can't afford anything atm.

I've already got the highflow so I'm sticking with that due to $$. I've got some cams going in though so that should make some difference.

I think the 4 doors have the viscous LSD and the 2 doors get the helical LSD which means I'll be up for a new diff at some stage.

Grab a r32 gtr mech clutch center and half shafts (5bolt). You can also fiddle with the ratios if you wish. 3.7, 3.9, 4.083, 4.11, 4.363 are available.

I've seen the gtr centers go from 450-650.

Im going a 3.9:1 out of the auto s13/s14/s15's, should work a little nicer with the 3ltr.

Or there's 1k for a decent 1/1.5/2 way that clunks a little around corners. :P

mph does if the timing is up the creek  :P

i ran 12.1 @ 113 or something still sliding @ 1/2 track. go figure  heheh

Well thats showing you actually got some pretty good traction and not much top end, similiar to a GTR time

thing is i didnt lol. EVeryone found it quite amusing how little i had :unsure:

My car was all top end, had nothing remotely interesting until 4300rpm :)

It was slideways off the line, then skating for approx 1/2 track where it settled, 2.1 60ft...

Timing was so out that day, damn heathcote

Abobob, just wait till you kill the diff.

You never know. It could hold out for a while. If your nice to it there is no reason why it shouldnt really.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
