Hi there I was wondering if you peeps could give me some helpful answers.

I just got my X-FORCE dump pipes today, spent pritty much all day getting to the turbos and taking them off to mount on the new dumps, but I’ve come across a problem. The dump pipe is touching the turbo inlet piping on turbo no.2, I was thinking at high temperatures would the inlet melt? I have tried to move the turbo as much as I could away from it but still pritty close, its still giving me a 1-2mm clearance. what’s my way around this?

thanks..

Mate maybe speak to the people that sold you the dumps see what they say.I think it should have more

clearance than that.A option rap the dumps in heat rap tape this will avoid burning any thing, they will glow

red hot after a few laps around a track.One thing I have found is that nothing is a bolt on fit you always

have to mod it to fit properly.Good luck

When i got my X force 3.5 inch system i had it installed by a reputable installer and the dumps and front pipe where not correctly made to measure, as in it was only 1 or 3mm away from the chassis rails and i would hit for sure. Also where the dumps bolt to the turbos because of the tight tolerances when trying to bolt the exhaust on there was alot of pressure on them which would mean with the bumps etc the gaskets would eventually leak gas out, everything was just to tight a fit. So they just cut and angled the front pipe a little to clear away from the chassis rails and that in turn made alot less tension on the exhaust system. Shit you dont want a flange leak its hard enough to do a exhaust dump pipe change as it is, that was the only problem i came across, i even rang up X force and they wouldnt agree but DID not disagree, i was easy to see, did that and have never had a problem with it and i have had it on now for 8 months and drag raced the crap out of my gtr and its still perfect with plenty of clearance.

    • 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!
