Getting A Hypergear Turbo!

[kccortez]

I've been around the forums for a while and thought i should finally make my first post about something worthwile!

I have a white s2 stagea rs 2000, about 4 months old with the following mods:

Front mount intercooler

Trust panel filter

3" turbo back exhaust

turbosmart boost controller at .85 BAR

safc neo

dynoed at Proteck at 180 rwkw

Was in the market for a highflow for a while and looked at a couple of options like gcg etc. Went and had a chat to the guy at hypergear who seemed to know his stuff. I'm getting the 450 hp highflow to be installed through him as well as a bosch 044 fuel pump. He needs 3 days or so with the car so after that i'll organise to get a tune through Trent at Status tune in dandenong.

Will keep you guys posted on how it goes.

Also quick question, once the turbo is installed will i be safe with the current tune at .85BAR. I'm sure it is but thought i would just check!!

mate that sounds great!

best of luck, and post your dyno chart when possible.

prepare your plugs and coilpacks before the tune, bcpre6 NGK .8mm copper sparkies, and silicone sealant all over the coilpack

then eventually look into an auto shift kit, suspension etc and she'll be nice

I'd say 1bar of boost should be about right for your mods

Ring Trent about the tune...

Shift kit asap, less heat generated=longer living trans. I am happy with my Knox Automatics one, 395 drive in/out. You are welcome to test ride it

A friend of mine who knows Stao said the turbos are engineered by an ex-Garrett engineer, so i wouldn't be stressed, I am planning on a Hypergear Highflow when my turbo dies, i dont see the point in BB when my bush wearing turbo is over 100,000km old with no issues as yet.

Keep us posted!!!

Cheers,

Ryan

Series 2 have GTR rods should be fine at 1.1 bar. You will need some way of adjusting timing ...seeing as you already have an SAFC just get an SITC although I believe Nistune is available for your engine and that would be better. Have heard the hypergear is quite viable - how much for just the turbo (are they rebuilding yours)?

Arnt they around $850? same price as what the Slide units were....

yeah do a Nistune board, .....

as a S1 Im using a remap chip, Plus the SAFC plus SITC. with a fpr it all works well.

Unfortunately Knox don't do a shift kit for the S2/R34 'B' transmission, only MV.

Dropped my car off today with stao at hypergear. The workshop next door will be taking my turbo on/off as well as installing the fuel pump. He will be hi flowing my turbo, around three days turnaround. Am hoping to get it by saturday though with this heat things might take a little longer.

The hi flow he is doing for me is the one that was advertised around the turbo section. It's $800 plus installing and $300 for pump and install.

I agree with the shift kit though am wondering who in melbourne would do an s2 auto kit$ Or do i have to order it from mv auto's and get an auto place hear to install it for me. if so does anyone know someone good around north melbourne and how much?

Had a chat to trent a few days ago. Seems to really know his stuff. He talked to me about the nistuneetc. I think my plan of attack will be to get it tuned with the safc neo ( unless i get a good offer ofcourse ) and then after i get the shift kit get the nistune done.

Also do you guys think it will be safe to drive at my current boost with the new hi flow for a week or so before i get it retuned? .85BAR

Cheers!!!!!!

Roughly how much do they charge for removal/replacement of turbo?? Place next door to Hypergear?

Here's the thread about their turbos. I'm pretty sure they are highflowing with the ATR28G3 turbo core. should have some very interesting results. Definitly go to see Trent at status tunning for dyno tune.

[kccortez]

yep his using an ATR28G3 core.

So do any of you guys know who can do the shift kit for a series2 here in melbourne?

[RS4StagMan]

OK found it.

OK! So the Hypergear atr28-g3 hi flow turbo is in. Let me first get this out of the way....

HYPERGEAR IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT ON TURBO!!!!!!!!

So first i had a chat with tao from hypergear and he had arranged for the turbo to be taken of and on by someone i presumed he was affiliated with. So monday morning i rocked up to the workshop, waited. Waited. Waited and know one decided to show up. Called Tao and he said they were to Busy(Aren't we all!!!) but the workshop next door to him is trusted by him and that he arranged it with them. So i dropped my car of to them. 6 days later i got my car back. So exited was i until i took of from the workshop. LAAAAAAAG lag lag lag, ohhh their is the boost! Tao was in the car with me and shared my dissapointment. He mentioned something about the actuator and that maybe the boys hadn't closed this and it was leaking. Guess what, They didn't!!!

So the lag became very minimal, yay, or so i thought. While up on the hoist (3 hours i was standing their) the mentioned an oil leak, having to do with the banjo fitting on the turbo. The guys who seemed very frustrated having to do all the extra work ended up telling about how some of the holes( i think the water lines) had to be machined out as they weren't big enough. Also they mentioned a few of the parts that were supposed to be their were missing so they had to create some fittings.....

Ok i thought, i'll put my trust in hypergear as Tao had arranged this. So next morning i'm reversing out of my driveway and OIL is everywhere!!!!!!! I really had lost trust in the other guys so i took the car to proteck to get it looked at. In the meantime Tao gives me a call and lets me know he was on the net and read the rb25det only had a 1ml restrictor and that the turbo he supplied needed a 3ml restrictor. I found out this is because it is a bush bearing turbo. So it felt great knowing i was running the turbo with minimal oil really made me feel good.

Anyway proteck gave me a call and said the banjo fitting was all a homemade job and looked so dodgy no wonder it was leaking oil. At the end Tao suppliied the 3ml restrictor oil feed. I also needed an adapter plate and some copper washers before it was finally done properly.

SOOOOO Finaly i had a quick tune with proteck and managed to get 187rwkw. I could only run 10psi apparently as the R&R seemed to kick in at anything above that. Though i will definately be gettin a nistune by status tuning in the coming weeks after i save up some money after paying a bit extra for all these problems!!!!

One more thing to top it off. I got home and now my engine light is staying on. Yay. I'm getting it checked on monday, hopefully just the o2 sensor or something....

Kevin,

Sounds like a lot of mucking around, stuff-ups and general unexpected speed humps.

Hope you get it all sorted out soon and everything is 100% ok with the system.

Most importantly, once it's all fixed and running smoothly, I hope you get the dyno results to make it all worthwhile

Goodluck man
