Hey peoples,

After the extremely good response to my thread about my decision to make and sell good coolers cheap, i was interested to see so many of you would like a full cooler kit instead of just the cooler (seems logical ey :P ) So i have thought about things a bit more thoroughly and have found that for me to make the cooler i was saying and a piping kit will raise costs a little more than i want. So i have looked around and i know most of you would have heard of them but Hyrbid make a bar and plate cooler with cast tanks and is very efficient and very good overall. Quality build and good performance. It has a 0.2 psi pressure drop across the core at 15psi which is a very good cooler, bar and plate which is an advantage in itself, and can be mounted to any car. I was wondering if you gusy would still be keen if i got hold of these coolers in bulk and then created an alloy piping kit for them ready to bolt onto the car for around say the $1200 mark if you would still be keen? I am definately more keen about this as it allows me to give you gusy the whole package rather than just a cooler and then worry about the organisation of the rest of the stuff, at least this way you can just bolt it on yaself cos it isn't a complicated task to do. The cooler i am talking about can be seen on my avatar on the 500hp GTR... i guess this explains these coolers mean business if it is running on a 500HP GTR with the stuff that guy has on it, big turbos, comp, boost etc. and with excellent results.

I am very eager to jump to it this way if you are there to back me, and as i stated in the first thread, i am a perfectionist and don't compromise on quality or performance, and have done my research into these coolers. So i believe it is equally as good to anything i was going to have built and also is bar and plate. Think about it and post me your thoughts cos if people are keen i am going to start straight away. With making an R33 piping kit from my car and a 180sx/silvia piping kit from my mates car.

Thnx for your time everyone, J.

If possible asap... i just have to get hold of the coolers which just contacting the distributor to organise a deal of a certain number of them, then i have to get one fitted to my car to make a blank of the piping then remove it again and get the piping copied in alloy as one piece, with no welded joins, and then get hold of clamps and silicon joins then its ready to go. I want them ready to go in the next fortnight at the lastest. I'll psot definate details this week.

Hey guys,

Just about definate at the moment to go ahead with the kits. Hopefully should order the coolers by the end of the week and start working on the piping kit asap, so should have kits for R33's in about 2 weeks ready to be shipped. Price as i said is looking at around the $1200 mark, with teh bar and plate Hybrid core, alloy one piece piping (not a cut and weld job) piping, all silicon joins and clampst ready to fit. I'll push to have them as soon as i can.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
