sorry, could be stupid question....

if we could make a twin low-mount VNT RB26 setup work, would you modify my HKS 2530's or would i need completely new units?

Thanks for the feedbacks.

I can make it work with the GTR turbochargers, you will need to find room under the bonnet as they will need to run two actuators side by side.

I don't think there should be a reliability concern, concept is pretty solid and working well. I can make it working with your PU high flow as well, once again just need to find room to fit the additional actuator unless going high mount. It should knock lag off by about 500rpms.

Cummins/Holset turbos had a problem with VNT on truck engines. Was something to do with the variable vanes or actuator getting clogged with carbon and not allowing the vanes to fully open or close. The turbos have speed sensors in them so when this happens the speed of the shaft is too high or low and the engine de-rates

Vague random information. But its not a problem when there is no speed sensor, or at least there will be no major problem with the car. You will just have reduced performance or increased lag till its sorted.

This is an issue with specific turbos though and does not necessarily apply to stao's design. Im really looking forward to what happens with this in the next few months. So tempted to trade mine for a VNT still lol

interesting... could you advise on a price please? PM if you want.

would it be worth doing a ceramic bearing change at the same time? were the VNT units that you were testing ceramic rollers?

All sorted

Pre load was never sorted at install as I expected it was already set up, now I have to get it retuned as it's hitting 20psi when it was tuned to 16, lol.
Which means it was bypassing boost before it got a chance to build it, still laggy but not as bad, but now leaves lines at 1-2 change with half throttle :)

not all bad news after all! Small issue easily resolved and find a way to improve the performance also.

good work.

i cant see it fitting package wise on a gtr... would be awesome though.

the bearing in these units are pretty extreme, we compared them to the best available turbocharger units and the hypergear ones are in another league. i cannot divulge the origins of Toa's bearing but they are very under stressed in a turbocharger application... they are originally designed for military aerospace applications and run at around $200-400 per unit... and there are multiple units per Hypergear turbo.

im pretty sure tao was looking to find a suitable test car that sees plenty of circuit work to complete proof of concept.

Again i am not endorsed or ever received anything from hypergear, im just excited about his new developments and i still believe this is the most interesting turbocharger to ever grace my shop.

Thanks for the feed backs.

I will be back with the SS1PU with VNT turbine next week, if test of it goes well with the Rb25det then I will leave this turbo with Trent for his Cefferio for some track work and in comparison to his current TD05h.

With the GTR I can modify the original -5 turbine housing you have with the VNT setups, the only problems is fitting 2nd actuator and bracket, which you might need to make some alterations under the engine bay to make extra room for. But apart from that it shouldn't be a issue.

Stao, i'll PM you

my ultimate setup

Super high compression 26

pistons to allow for the upgraded V-cam gear (more timing advancement)

Chequered Tuning V-Cam

Twin Hypergear 2530 VNT's

E85

add boost :D

bah!!! soooo tempted...

If I ever own another GTST it will have a Hypergear 2iu highflow.

That car is incredibly fast. 1:04 is incredibly fast. I am blown away.

That turbo has done a lot of track work now as well. The response and the way it delivers torque is amazing.

It does lack power in a straight line, but what can you expect for a little 21U housing.

Tao has tried many times to tempt me off this turbo. But I love it too much.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
