Depends what your definition is of choke. SS2 has made 300rwkw on 98 fuel with full boost at 3800rpm. To me that sounds very similar to a GT3076 and they run very well on rb25/30s. Sure a bigger turbo would run well too but this will have excellent response.

My definition of choke is when a turbine/exhaust housing is to small for a larger capacity motor and will make power drop of up top, SS2 would be to small, even 3076's are..anothe half a litre will drop the

flow rate of the turbo aswell.. so the turbo will not make as much peak power either on a bigger motor

Can you explain this further?!?!

So should everyone be checking the clearance between the dump and aircon pipe? So if there is not atleast say, 30mm clearance (5 bolt exhaust flange has an extra 25mm over stock now) , then you need a different dump pipe. Is this correct?

There is 160mm of clearance between turbo and chassis, Generally none dump pipes will sit that much back, but more depending on direction it sits. Have a look at the photos. some of them are straight and some angles towards the chassis, the once that are angled are more likely touches that abit of rubber.

Our turbine housings are made on a fixed fig, cut on a cnc machine with fixed program, every single one are exactly the same. Those dump pipes are not, explains most fits and some don't.

For the ones do touch, its a 10mints job relocating that soft rubber pipe.

Or we can supply external gated 5 bolt ATR43G3 at a lot cheaper price so customers are welcome to make their own dumps.

So my car is finally back on the road, couldn't be happier to drive it today, im sick of driving boring new cars

Its still got the old stock turbo 10psi tune but is running the SS1PU and supporting mods hence I could only drive it softly on partial throttle.

First impressions:

-I love having no exhaust leak (which was there before I did the turbo swap)

-The turbo starts spooling at what feels around 3000rpm in the lower gears, it sounds great

-I gave it slightly heavier throttle in 5th gear once and after it builds around 7-8psi the boost wants to ramp hard, i backed off but in a split second it jumped up to 12-13psi

Tune should be done by end of next week, I cant wait to unleash this turbo!!!!!!!!

Few more problems fitting my turbo after getting the spacer plate, so unfortunately it still isn't done yet but atleast it's bolted to the car.

First the oil return line is no where near fitting. It's about 40mm too short, with no flexibility to make it fit. Shouldn't be hard to correct, will pick up a longer hose tomorrow.

Then my intake pipe no longer fits. Will need to get about 20mm cut off, but for now have relocated my radiator overflow bottle. Hopefully I don't get pulled over before I can fix that cos its dodgy as fk.

Also the screamer pipe definitely isn't going to fit. So I'll need to get another one custom made.

Finally, because the intake pipe is different, the Bov hard piping no longer fits. Should be fixable by chopping it off before the PCV return and using an L shaped hose to plumb it up. Hopefully.

That SHOULD be all the problems that I can foresee, so it SHOULD be up and running tomorrow. Will update with photos. Oh and tune is booked for next Friday, the day before my dyno day :P

Hmmm...quite a few members now having issues with fitment from a supposedly pretty straightforward bolt-on turbo. Dump clearance with air con hoses, oil lines/water lines not fitting/difficulties, intake no longer fits, spacer needed as turbo needs to clear engine, new 90 deg angle pipe required from turbo to intercooler piping, 4inch intake (hence relocation of Z32) is recommended...pretty much everything custom.... as people are saying about the GT3076 / 3071.

Which leaves me wondering, how is the Hypergear turbos more 'bolt-on' than the Garret counterparts?? Even price wise the Garrets are not much more expensive? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I myself have been thinking of getting a Hypergear turbo sometime down the track, but what with all these issues people having...:rolleyes: ...I need to think properly..

Good to know I'm not the only one. The way my install went I think having a known turbo (garret/hks) is worth the extra few dollars, fair enough I am yet to see if the hypergear can actually make any power but before Christmas I will have all the information/dyno sheets to know if stao will be receiving my turbo back.

Modifications required fitting an hypergear turbo is minor, ie shift stock water lines extend abit of rubber or re-locate abit of rubber pipe lol. Cost me 1 hour at most marking around. Then make a intake pipe.

To fit an off shelf Garrett unit I need to running around buy aftermarket oil line, water lines, oil drain, spacer, marking around pulling all my old lines out, then toll it to an exhaust joint making my dump pipe, then make an intake pipe.

Even minor modifications required it still takes the least amount of time, work, and cost to fit up the hp turbo apart from a stock turbo. Even by dumping more money for a garret turbo its not getting me better result then what I currently got, hoo with the ss2 :D .

I'm all fairness I have to say that the 3 inch bellmoith dumps that just jap sell are one of the problems with the hypergear install, f**k even putting that dump on the stock turbo is a head ache and a half, and that's if you got one that the bolt holes are in the right place.

I have seen numerous rb25/30 setups with a 3076 that do not drop off power up top, therefore by your reasoning they are not 'choking'. There is one on here that is making 320rwkw with crazy response (Als I think). I do not see many rb25s with a 3076 making 320rwkw (I know it is possible) so the turbo is making more peak power then on a smaller motor so thats also saying that its not choking by your last sentence.

You could argue that an SS1 or HKS GTRS is also 'choking' on an rb25 in that it might drop 10-20hp by 7000rpm but people love those due to the response and power/torque at street legal speeds.

My post was not supposed to be critical of the Hypergear turbos. They are a good turbo mate, any messing around with fitment is no more than I would expect from any turbo upgrade.

You have to keep in mind that I'm fitting an externally gated turbo with a .82 rear housing and a .70 compressor. That's a HUGE physical change from factory, expecting everything to magically fit back together is simply wrong.

garrett or hks turbo wont stop you f*%king up the install...

rb25/30 setup and dynoed before xmas???????

You would have had exactly the same issues with a garret.

Harey - there is nothing wrong with my install, unless you want to blame me for a ring not holding compression. I will have an engine in and dynod before Christmas if I can.

My issues aren't so much with the install just everything after that. I've done turbo conversions before and I knew what to expect, the only problem I had was the afm fitment.

I'm just severely doubting the potential, that's where the Garret reputation comes in.

STATUS' dyno doesn't lie.

Amen.

Stao is so completely transparent about the performance of the Hypergear stuff that there's really not much to say. The results are readily available and hard to misinterpret.

And Status have such a good reputation, so there's nothing going on there. The only people I can see who are critical of Hypergear gear are those who have clearly f**ked something up from the start.

I'd be surprised if most, if not all, of the people who have had issues with HG gear weren't the actual root cause.

Only ever had 3 problems with my turbo:

1: the length problem as being discussed, though hardly an issue since my workshop got around it and I'm not melting hoses.

2: damage to the wastegate assembly during post, undoubtedly caused when postal services opened mine up for "random inspection" and packed it back into the box poorly, hence taking a beating at some point.

3: water lines not lining up - this one we are all aware of and just makes things a bit fiddly. Drove me insane when I spent well over an hour trying to screw the one banjo bolt in lol. I'd hardly call this a problem though, you'll get it with any turbo install if you don't change to braided lines.

All in all, you haters are just a bunch of sooks.

    • 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.
