Hi All,

I had my standard r33 s2 turbo go west on Sunday. Both impellers disintergrated at once! I have pulled the old turbo out and am in the decision process of considering upgrading to something with mroe potential and newer design or hi-flowing the original.

Mods are as follows:

K&N Panel filter

3 in dump, High flow cat, trust 3 in cat back

GReddy Profec 2 boost controller

GReddy front mount kit (brand new as old one has impeller lodged in it)

Peoples opinions?

looking to get somewhere in the region of 275rwkw. Car is used for street for the time being and probabl;y for the occasional track day (both grip and drift).

I drive in a bit of traffic every now and again so response is high on the list, but i can manage 3500 lag

be prepared to spend some serious cash if ur chasing 275 rwk. i very much doubt ul do it on a hiflow.

on the other hand if u set urself a goal of 250-260 you will get it on a hiflow with nice spool time.

set urself a goal of 250..least u know your conrods will be up to par

Cheers guys,

I might go for the Hi-Flow. I spose it also means that I wont have to upgrade fuel pump, injectors and computer if I keep the boost reasonable for the time being.

With the Hi-Flow, 3' dump (HI flow cat) and trust 3' cat back zorst, k&n panel filter, greddy FMIC, and GReddy boost controller I should be making round 200rwkw anyways hey?

about to load the skyline onto a trailer and take it down to screaming performance in wollongong (used to work there off and on). I think Daryl has a few options as to new turbos that will only require new oil and water lines and bolt onto the original manifold and dump pipe. Apparently they are more responsive as well.

I'll have it dynoed before it leaves the shop so I should know what power it makes.

$5 bucks to the person who can guess the rwkw figure right!

To add more info for people. I will be running the standard fuel system for the time being. So my guess is smack on 205rwkw... I will post the dyno sheet when the car is running! Make sure you have paypal accounts.

Oh man is upgrading fuel pump and injectors on the cards. I will run lower boost levels until I have saved up some more dosh to get the upgrades. I've already had to shell out for a new turbo, new hi flo cat and new intercooler. I took the more expensive option of buying a GReddy FMIC...

Are all FMIC the same? Was it worthwhile to buy a proper brand name cooler rather then a no name cooler

I doubt a brand name FMIC will impact performance at low boost; but at high boost the design is probably better for air flow (i'm not 100% on the design differences) but you're definitely getting a better quality product with GReddy and it'll last longer than that Home-Brand-made-in-China-crapola :whistling:

Let us know how the Hi-Flow goes...i was considering doing the same to my hammered stockie turbo.

I made 161rwkw with just a boost controller running 11.5psi. I have since then done the full hi flow exhaust, FMIC and air filter. Now with the hi-flow turbo I hope I should make round the 200rwkw mark.

      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!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      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!
