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.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
