Cool pictures. I am working in India at the moment and get 4 day weekends at the end of every month where i get to go for a roam to wherever i like. Whats the calender of upcomign events? I wouldnt mind dropping over to Dubai, catching a beer and motorsport

roy on the 5/12 we have the FIA GT series in town with the F2 and speed cars with all the ex F1 jockey

next round of the UAETCC is on the 19/12 with the radicals and bikes

pic are really good i thought lots of guys bring their hobbie to the track and you see the result with the pics

Try as i might, with the car single spinning i could not get past the 996 turbo which is reputed to be pushing out 600hp. Must be close to that figure as mine is some 540hp and it would pull away from me in a straight line.

But the orange EVO was just awsome, the motec data logging showed this thing was going from 123kph to 274kph in less than 8 seconds and pulling over 1.8 g in some corners which is more than any British touring car according to motec. Truely a brutal car to drive.

i relocated the intercooler further forward and down about 100mm in each direction. I then sealed the bottom of the intercooler to the bottom of the radiator with alumimimum sheet which has increased the air flow through the rad by 18% by area if you measure from the bottom of the intercooler to the front lip of bonnet vs the height of the rad alone. Seems to be working as car is happy to sit at 96 degrees for a 20 minute race. And over here thats a feat in its self.

    • 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!
