HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

Recommended Posts

GTX series turbos, albeit reliable are quite dated now.

I run a Garrett GTX3576R Gen 2 with a T3 1.01 divided housing and I get 0.8bar of boost by 4000rpm and about 4600rpm is when it's all in (1.8bar) on a 2.5L, VCT NEO, 264/272 cams + usual mods.

Makes a sensible 437kW on E85. I do rev the motor to 8600rpm but at about 7500rpm or so it's not making anymore power.

If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would get a Turbosmart 6262 or a Garrett G35-900. Probably same response but will go 500kW+

Which brand turbine housing are you getting? 

Garrett seem to have dropped focus on anything twin scroll as of late. They only have it in T4 1.06.

That’s what I’m noticing… seems like a popular size is 0.82 A/R, I’m considering this:

T3 twinscroll .82AR, but I’m unsure what brand because I’m not seeing Garett having the option.

Awwww, the 7670 was the best turbo I ever had! But it (and the 660) is probably 'too big'. It also does come in twinscroll and T4, waaaah, return the Garrett!

Realistically either is going to be great, presumably you can find a suitable housing for the rear. I had a T4 1.05 rear with the EFR (it's the only option, too) and it was great response wise, but I also had a 2.8.

Garrett's 1.05 might be alright? I mean they make it for a reason after all. Surely they don't expect the G30-660 to be suitable for like a 4L motor only and couldn't conceive of having a smaller housing for a smaller motor...

Those are some serious numbers! Based on the input I’ve received, seems like the G-series would be the move for same power and response 🙌🏾

Thanks for sharing, and confirming that a G-series turbo is the move! I can post my before and after dyno results and see what changes going from a GTX to G-series has

I’m seeing T3 to T4 twin scroll adapters. This should work?

Feels kinda silly stacking plates and adding another gasket.

Sorry for some reason I thought you had a T4 Twinscroll manifold, not T3! I wouldn't put adapters on adapters. Just another gasket to fail or thing to sit in the wrong spot or other annoying complication.

Well… maybe I do go back and look into the 7670? I’m seeing a .72 T3 twinscroll option. 
 

how does the spool compare to the g30-660 series?

Issue with this are gaskets failures (x2) as mentioned above also it raises the turbo up further which may cause packaging issues etc.

I suppose if you have an experienced fabricator around, you could cut off the T3 flange and weld a T4 divided flange.

Another option (probably better) is to find an experienced turbo builder and they can machine a turbine housing to suit.

I would even ask Tao at Hypergear to machine and send one over to you. Might end up cheaper for you.

I’ll reach out to him and see what options we have on building a custom housing. I’ll report back

Ah, yes. I forgot that part.

At this point I would concur with the earlier suggestion of having the manifold modded to get a T4 TS flange put on. I don't think there is a T3 TS housing option for these.

On top of that, there is the whole problem of what is your expectation for a wastegate?

I’ve reached out to HyperGear to see if they could build a compatible exhaust housing. We’ll see what they say! 
 

I currently have an external 44mm tial wastegate on my manifold.

Posting an update:

Contacted HyperGear, Tao said he might be able to build a T3 .82 TS Vband! Waiting to hear back on cost and shipping.

Update 2: To make a custom TS T3 .82 Vband housing to suit a G30 super core, it will be $1000AUD. I’m still inquiring shipping cost

    • Not too bad. Horrible compared to non-twinscroll options available, but not as much as genuine. So....workable. Probably still smarter to convert manifold to T4.
    • Those controllers don't do anything, except change how the signal appears to the controller. So for example, to make it more sporty, where you first put a little bit of throttle in, it instead will send a higher impulse, and then taper it down towards the target.   In theory, you can learn to do what the throttle controller does, but it feels unnatural, for example a normal take off at 15% throttle input in sport mode on Duncans setup, might actually tell the ECU, give it 75% throttle for 0.5 seconds, and then drop to 25% for a second then tailor it back to 20% throttle and maintain that. Compared with the normal throttle might have gone "I'll give you 50% of what you asked for, then half a second later I'll give you 50% more of what you're asking compared to what you have, and then in the end I might let you have 13% in total.   At the same time, engine setups like when cruising on the highway, while on light throttle may have the actual throttle 70% open, and playing massively with variable valve timing. A small change in your throttle request will see the motor just mildly tweaking torque request by adjust cams every so slightly, but give it a sudden gut full quickly, it'll bring the cams back into a performance mode ready to go, and then the throttle to follow the position of the pedal, which gives a lot more response. Hence the controller giving a much bigger input to the ECU then back it off, makes the throttle overall feel more responsive.   Peak power etc overall though is unchanged.   And as Duncan has said, this is why they have to make a different controller mapping typically per make/model as they are all doing different things etc.

    • I assume some busted arse rusty one may be getting a new lease of life Are the chassis numbers stamped on the JDM/AUD models? Or just the riveted on plate?
