i will do mate thanks but the thing is that it still boosts up lol ,like its has heaps of boost but no grunt behind it , like u driving along in third or four and plant it lags like revs go down slightly and then slowly goes back, but not as a qiuck and responsive like it use to be?and i put a full tank in it and when i have been driving it. the fuel in now down to a quater of a tank and only have done 180km on the tank, i think its somewhere in the eletrontics somewhere,in my thinking it might be getting to much fuel ??? any other problems it might be?? :)

arghh this is happening to me too!!! sorry to hijack mate but my car was lagging bad today too.. yesterday i cleaned out my AAC valve to sort out some idle issues i had.. and halfway to the city today the car starts to lag pretty much exactly as you described it.. and the idle is rough and lumpy.

any ideas? no mods really, as i said all i did yesterday was remove my AAC valve to clean it. pretty sure i put everything back on properly.

similiar problem to me,

car lags a bit, and i had a really terrible idle.

sometimes car would stall if i take a corner too slow,

changed spark plugs, helped the idle 10%

cleaned aac, helped antoher 10%

changed back to stock bov, from atmo, fixed the whole idle problem nearly completely.

Only issues i have, is

cold start idle, really lumpy

but once i drive aaround the block

it idles fine,

car still lags a bit tho?

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      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!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      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!
