I've been around the forums for a while and thought i should finally make my first post about something worthwile!

I have a white s2 stagea rs 2000, about 4 months old with the following mods:

Front mount intercooler

Trust panel filter

3" turbo back exhaust

turbosmart boost controller at .85 BAR

safc neo

dynoed at Proteck at 180 rwkw

Was in the market for a highflow for a while and looked at a couple of options like gcg etc. Went and had a chat to the guy at hypergear who seemed to know his stuff. I'm getting the 450 hp highflow to be installed through him as well as a bosch 044 fuel pump. He needs 3 days or so with the car so after that i'll organise to get a tune through Trent at Status tune in dandenong.

Will keep you guys posted on how it goes.

Also quick question, once the turbo is installed will i be safe with the current tune at .85BAR. I'm sure it is but thought i would just check!!

mate that sounds great!

best of luck, and post your dyno chart when possible.

prepare your plugs and coilpacks before the tune, bcpre6 NGK .8mm copper sparkies, and silicone sealant all over the coilpack

then eventually look into an auto shift kit, suspension etc and she'll be nice

I'd say 1bar of boost should be about right for your mods

Ring Trent about the tune...

Shift kit asap, less heat generated=longer living trans. I am happy with my Knox Automatics one, 395 drive in/out. You are welcome to test ride it :)

A friend of mine who knows Stao said the turbos are engineered by an ex-Garrett engineer, so i wouldn't be stressed, I am planning on a Hypergear Highflow when my turbo dies, i dont see the point in BB when my bush wearing turbo is over 100,000km old with no issues as yet.

Keep us posted!!!

Cheers,

Ryan

Series 2 have GTR rods should be fine at 1.1 bar. You will need some way of adjusting timing ...seeing as you already have an SAFC just get an SITC although I believe Nistune is available for your engine and that would be better. Have heard the hypergear is quite viable - how much for just the turbo (are they rebuilding yours)?

Arnt they around $850? same price as what the Slide units were....

yeah do a Nistune board, .....

as a S1 Im using a remap chip, Plus the SAFC plus SITC. with a fpr it all works well.

Unfortunately Knox don't do a shift kit for the S2/R34 'B' transmission, only MV.

Has anybody had any experience with the Hypergear high flow product already on their machines??

Edited by RS4StagMan

Dropped my car off today with stao at hypergear. The workshop next door will be taking my turbo on/off as well as installing the fuel pump. He will be hi flowing my turbo, around three days turnaround. Am hoping to get it by saturday though with this heat things might take a little longer.

The hi flow he is doing for me is the one that was advertised around the turbo section. It's $800 plus installing and $300 for pump and install.

I agree with the shift kit though am wondering who in melbourne would do an s2 auto kit$ Or do i have to order it from mv auto's and get an auto place hear to install it for me. if so does anyone know someone good around north melbourne and how much?

Had a chat to trent a few days ago. Seems to really know his stuff. He talked to me about the nistuneetc. I think my plan of attack will be to get it tuned with the safc neo ( unless i get a good offer ofcourse :yes: ) and then after i get the shift kit get the nistune done.

Also do you guys think it will be safe to drive at my current boost with the new hi flow for a week or so before i get it retuned? .85BAR

Cheers!!!!!!

Roughly how much do they charge for removal/replacement of turbo?? Place next door to Hypergear?

Here's the thread about their turbos. I'm pretty sure they are highflowing with the ATR28G3 turbo core. should have some very interesting results. Definitly go to see Trent at status tunning for dyno tune.

OK! So the Hypergear atr28-g3 hi flow turbo is in. Let me first get this out of the way....

HYPERGEAR IS NOT A DIRECT BOLT ON TURBO!!!!!!!!

So first i had a chat with tao from hypergear and he had arranged for the turbo to be taken of and on by someone i presumed he was affiliated with. So monday morning i rocked up to the workshop, waited. Waited. Waited and know one decided to show up. Called Tao and he said they were to Busy(Aren't we all!!!) but the workshop next door to him is trusted by him and that he arranged it with them. So i dropped my car of to them. 6 days later i got my car back. So exited was i until i took of from the workshop. LAAAAAAAG lag lag lag, ohhh their is the boost! Tao was in the car with me and shared my dissapointment. He mentioned something about the actuator and that maybe the boys hadn't closed this and it was leaking. Guess what, They didn't!!!

So the lag became very minimal, yay, or so i thought. While up on the hoist (3 hours i was standing their) the mentioned an oil leak, having to do with the banjo fitting on the turbo. The guys who seemed very frustrated having to do all the extra work ended up telling about how some of the holes( i think the water lines) had to be machined out as they weren't big enough. Also they mentioned a few of the parts that were supposed to be their were missing so they had to create some fittings.....

Ok i thought, i'll put my trust in hypergear as Tao had arranged this. So next morning i'm reversing out of my driveway and OIL is everywhere!!!!!!! I really had lost trust in the other guys so i took the car to proteck to get it looked at. In the meantime Tao gives me a call and lets me know he was on the net and read the rb25det only had a 1ml restrictor and that the turbo he supplied needed a 3ml restrictor. I found out this is because it is a bush bearing turbo. So it felt great knowing i was running the turbo with minimal oil really made me feel good.

Anyway proteck gave me a call and said the banjo fitting was all a homemade job and looked so dodgy no wonder it was leaking oil. At the end Tao suppliied the 3ml restrictor oil feed. I also needed an adapter plate and some copper washers before it was finally done properly.

SOOOOO Finaly i had a quick tune with proteck and managed to get 187rwkw. I could only run 10psi apparently as the R&R seemed to kick in at anything above that. Though i will definately be gettin a nistune by status tuning in the coming weeks after i save up some money after paying a bit extra for all these problems!!!!

One more thing to top it off. I got home and now my engine light is staying on. Yay. I'm getting it checked on monday, hopefully just the o2 sensor or something....

Kevin,

Sounds like a lot of mucking around, stuff-ups and general unexpected speed humps.

Hope you get it all sorted out soon and everything is 100% ok with the system.

Most importantly, once it's all fixed and running smoothly, I hope you get the dyno results to make it all worthwhile :P

Goodluck man

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
