they are cheap certainly. Have more power than stock. But, aren't as good as Trust/HKS/Garrett/Apexi units by virtue of thier lack of power curve. Certainly not horrible for a cheap upgrade.

As long as you don't expect them to go as well as a more expensive HKS unit , I'm sure you won't be greatly let down.

If it were me I wouldn't personally buy one as the turbo is a major factor in determining the characteristics of performance and so I don't believe skimping is the best idea. Just my opinion. :thumbsup:

Lot of turbos might looks similar but performance wise they can be very different. Like TR43 and TR43HF they looks exactly the same but performs very differently. Their trim and porting in the housing and the sizes of turbine and comp wheels makes quite big difference.

The power band wise, If you make a turbo with a tiny comp wheel then its going to spool up mega fast but power band dies off around 4000RPM. just like diesle turbo. Most street performance patrol turbos are focusing on good mid range, Normally from 3500RPM to 7000 RPM depends on engine sizes, the bigger the better. TR43's power shot dyno read out

when i said the KKR430 looked similar i didnt mean the physical size of it, im talking about inducer/exducer size, A/R's etc etc

Hey all im thinking about buying this turbo for my skyrine and was wondering if any1 has 1, used 1?

Spool up?

solid boost through the RPM range?

cheers.

Hi Joeleo87

Many of my friends have used Hypergear products in the past including me.

A friend of mine just made 238kws on 18psi on a rb20 with a much, much better power curve then me, only thing is his got a power fc and full exhaust system where as i have a hks 2535 with stock dump/front and a emange blue. so tuneability wise its not the best (my car).

Point being, people buy cheaper (price wise) turbos because they are on a budget... and if you are on a tight budget you cant buy support mods (tune, ecu, fuel pump, afm, injectors ect ect) good enough to get the max potential out of the turbo.

thats why some people will say a product is crap while others are in love with it.... it all comes down to the build up.

get the hypergear, get a remap or a pfc and you will be loving life

I'm interested to see the printouts of your mates car with the hypergear...i struggle to see how a rb20 with a tr43 or whatever can actually have a better curve than a rb25 with a 2535...

What makes you say its a better curve? does it peak earlier or does it have more area under the curve or does it just climb higher at the end? same dyno?

Looks good.

Do you have a dyno on a dyno dynamics for refference at all?

cheers for the input dude,

thats more what i wanted to hear... actual personal experiences. if i got a TFR43HF id def get a remap to suit :)

i do value your opinion also simon :yes:

TFR43HF is ment for more power so you will loose response as its ment for 240 Kw+

If you want more response then get the non HF version but thats 200 kw to 240 kw.

you will need a tune to make these turbos perform like there ment to.

Have a read of that.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
