This is by no means a advertisement for hypergear (we do ALOT of product development for different companies), i just feel the result is quite impressive... and it has fuelled me to get involved with thier RB25 high flow and bolt on turbo. Which i hope to test in the new year.

What impressed me the most was torque, it is very rare for me to see a 4cyl make over 420nm so when this pulled over 500nm i was floored... especially as it is on a CA18DET (if you look at the final graph i have overlayed it with a RB25DET with HKS GT-RS...

I attached the graphs of the testing, each run was tuned to suit. Startting at 18psi and working up until peak efficiency (25psi) we found at 26 psi it flattened off.

Bear in mind these are all done with the std internal wastegate and a turbosmart tee, so ever so slightly better results would be reached with an ebc (small drop in boost with the tee... only bout 1- 2psi)

For those about to tout the the dynapck power differrence thing... we anticipated it and ran it on DR DRIFTS dyno (MAINLINE) first where it pulled just over 240rwkw, on the first tuned run here it pulled within 1 or 2rwkw (see red line)

results 281rwkw and 502nm out of a built but stock headed CA18DET.

another interesting post!

got any pics or prices of this product?

Nah i dont sorry.

but here is the website http://www.digi-hardware.com/

i reckon this turbo on a SR20 would be sweet, this turbo may also be available in a 0.82 to suit RB25 which i would also be keen to test....

The hard part is finding cars to do the testing on, i dont use customers as guinea cops, and will only use proven products. Tao has bought a R33 which ready for testing in january so i cant wait.

nice. :blush:

put one on your old silvia trent. I'll let you borrow it :bunny:. can do a comparison to the T517Z that's on it now.

it's certainly making pretty handy power out of a CA18. 150kw at 4,500 rpm is not bad at all for a turbo making 280kw on a 1,8L.

my god there is a lot of negative people on nissansilvia. 90% of the people who looked at that blokes graph found something negative to say about it. geez, be happy for the bloke.

I would be glad to help Hypergear out by letting them give me a turbo and plenum :(

I was walking around the show looking at all the high HP cars and noticied that EVERY SINGLE ONE runs a hypergear plenum...

and then DiRTgarage rubbed one in my face as he left ;)

i believe wytsky has the TR43 on his car trent, possibly speak to him about it and im sure he did post a thread up not long ago.

yep, but dont be disheartend by my results, i had the discussion about it because the kw seemed a bit low, but from what Sam and I have come up with, a slight missfire (that was getting worse) and the fact that his dyno had a stuffed weather machine meant it could not correct my results on a 32 degree day are pretty much the answer because the car feels great now, but according to my previous graph I had 230rwkw and now only 215rwkw...

I will post up my new results after I have time to fix up the missfire issue and Sam sorts out his dyno.

btw, on my previous tune ( that I know for a fact was less powerful then my current one just by the feel) I had 230rwkw and around 640-650nm of torque.

hahaha ns.com has the lowest combined iq of any forum.... just take a look at the drift section.... it is ruled by pubesent SA wanna be's.... i know i used to live there....

you rang? ;)

that turbo, that wouldn't be the one i'd be looking at would it? i'd be after the hi-flow option?

i don't really know much about reading those graphs, but is the GTRS a lot more responsive down low? or is the actual road difference not that much?

Yes, but don't forget RB25det's got 2x more cyclinders and 0.7L of more capacity. This on RB25 should make even more power, Torque with heaps more response. 260RWKWs at 5000RPM on a CA, its some thing i've never seen before.

lol, I think you may have hypergear and hypertune mixed into one. they are 2 different companies. :(

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents   
    • Been a busy but productive day. Axle and hubs acquired. All fitted up after a bit of modifying. Need to sort out wider mudguards and running light reflector covers but other than that the trailer is gooood to go !!
