Hey guys.

Silly question but i better double check. Just about ready to throw my new Hypergear turbo on. Just getting the space ready before i do.

It comes with a braided Oil line. Now banjo fitting on turbo side (easy enough), On the engine side it is a 2 piece setup. Male thread which screws into the stock location on the engine. Then it has a threaded compression type end which screws into the female thread on the braided line. It Screws in quite easily to the engine. Now i am trying to work out what i can use to ensure theres no oil leakages. Whether a copper washer connecting to the engine would be sufficient and whether i would need anything to seal the fitting to the braided line.

If this make no sense at all I can get pictures up tomorrow. Last thing stopping me from getting the turbo onto the manifold.

Cheers for any help.

Hey mate I think it might be a copper washer.

What hypergear turbo did you get?

Reason asking is I just picked up mine today from Stao. Its the atr43g3 .82. Mine won't be installed and tuned untill first week of Jan. So let us know how you go.

ATR43i - G3 0.63 housing.

Cheers. I'll stick with just the copper washer. And just keep an eye on it for the start to make sure she seals.

It'll be a fair while before i will be able to post real results. I'm doing a bit of cosmetic work under the bonnet whilst its all out which im in no major hurry for, and with both cars insurance and rego due shortly, I wont be able to afford to get tuned for a while.

Hey mate,

Just to let you know i got a ATR28 from stao for an RB20.

The stock coolant lines wont fit.... if fact they hit on the turbo so i had to get some braided ones made up.

Didnt know until i tried to get it to fit...

Cheers

    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
    • I understand your sarcastic exasperation. But to be fair - the baffles do indeed fit OEM cam covers. They did omit to say that you need to do a bunch of stuff. But they do fit them.
    • Got started on the modification to make these splash plates fit over the long weekend. First the surprisingly time consuming task of swapping all the cam cap bolts to Tomei cam cap studs. I did the method of removing one bolt at a time, applying loctite to the stud, double nutting to torque as the manual described. Then carefully unlocking the nuts without disrupting the torque of the stud (and going back to re-torque a few times when it slipped). Finally applying the nut and torquing to spec. Repeat x28 Next up I went about removing the stock cam cover baffle so I could ensure it was fully clean after drilling for stud clearance.  As the blind rivets holding the baffle on were domed I used a punch to mark the center then used 4mm drill bit to carefully drill out the rivet without going too far part the baffle. As seen in other thread here is what is inside the stock baffles I decided on M4x6mm bolts to bolt the baffle plate back on with. I used a 3.3mm drill bit with some tape to mark the depth at ~8mm. Next was to tap the threads using a cheap bunnings kit M4x0.7. With the baffle removed I also drilled out the spot welds holding in the baffle plate oil returns. Unsure whether this was the best option or if I should have cut holes in the Hypertune splash plates to allow the oil drains to still function... time will tell. I then removed the the Hypertune splash plates so I could rest the cam cover on top and use a dab of grease to mark where the studs impacted the oem cam cover baffle. The most obvious spot was on the hump from the stock mesh is held. Using this hole as an anchor I bolted the oem baffle plate back into the cam cover and lined up the Hypertune splash plate. Marked the rest of the holes for the studs and drill those out too. Total 32 holes drilled and 12 threads tapped on the passenger side cam cover alone for this bolt on part that totally clears all OEM cam covers.. Drivers side next as well as some E85 safe fuel foam to fill the space behind the behind cam cover baffle plates. oh and some lock nuts for the splash plates of course.
