what i would like to know is the specs on this turbo

and how it would perform on a rb20 if possible as they told me the r33 and 32 hiflows differ

or even when it hits full boost..??

called GCG and supposedly they didnt know specs!?!?

thanks

We had a GCG ball bearing high flow on an RB20DET (170,000 ks' old), made 225 rwkw at 1.3 bar with 1 bar at 3,000 rpm, no boost drop off till 7,500 rpm, made good power to 8,250 rpm. Highly recommended.

:P cheers :)

yes but the RB20 and RB25 compressor housings are going to perform differently.

so if you use an RB20 turbo instead of an rb25 to start with you will have boost earlier but peak earlier...

Correct, but the difference is not dramatic, I don't think it would be more than 250 rpm later to 1 bar with the R33/RB25 turbo. The R34/VG30 turbine covers wouldn't be my choice, another 500 rpm or so I reckon.

:D cheers :D

Let me think;

POD, heat shield, substantial air feed

Performance metalcraft split dump

3.25" Nismo exhaust

No cat

OS Giken twin plate with flywheel

No HICAS

No aircon

Electric fan

Power FC with BCK

Castrol 10W60 oil

Oil cooler

Optimax

NGK copper plugs

One full day tuning on the dyno (plenty of time spent around the boost build rpm)

All on a 170,000 k's old RB20DET, that showed OK leak down figures for its age

:( cheers :P

i only made 254 hp at the wheels with stage 2 r33 hiflow turbo. This was on an auto r32 mods:

pod

3inch exhaust no cat

FMIC

z32 AFM

gtr injector 040 fuel pump

Have had the standard computer chiped (Romed)

Oh and mine is very laggy

i almost made that power with just an rb25 turbo..

get your car looked at i think

I agree.. i have an auto r32 with rb25 highflow (not gcg however) and checked today the revs vs boost, and its making 12psi (tubotech controller) by 3800rpm.. without any proper tune. No idea of power at the moment.

Tune coming tuesday for some figures.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
