Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

[hypergear]

Its very unfortunate that Brae have finally gaven up on the simple log manifold design as cyc No. 4 can not be bent that far to suit stock position. I will speak to few other welders and see what other possibilities are. But for the time been I will be assembling my car with what I've got and have that back doing its jobs soon as possible.

surely you could use whoever makes your rear housings and get them to make a modified version of the cast iron hks manifold

(make it so that it bolts on easily)

Don't give up hope yet. Still under going negotiations, hopefully getting a better price for bulk.

If the goal is stock location the HKS low mount isn't going to be the answer.

stock location won't be needed if its gonna come as a whole kit (dump included too)

[wolverine]

HG is the one that wants stock location hence the issues Brae are having, if I have read everything correctly.

[hypergear]

Looks like I might have to go high mount to keep the costs down. apparently the side mount takes too much efforts to complete. There's one more welder who'm happy to give it a shot, we see how it goes.

[Cowboy1600]

What's the verdict on opening up the stock exhaust manifold a bit? Possible? Useful?

Or is that for another thread?

Is the manifold you posted on the last page a more expensive design or mounts the Turbo in a different location?

[hypergear]

That is a $1100 manifold, the log manifold will have 123 goes into one plus and 345 in another. How ever there isn't enough room to merge 345 as the steam pipe bends are too big. If you go back and have a look at how my manifold is constructed, there are lots of efforts and man hours spent.

Yes by die-grinding stock manifold would help on picking up 17kws, pumps it to 297rwkws internally gated.

[Cowboy1600]

Do you have the ability to open up stock manifolds? If so, why not try and source say five stock manifolds, prep them and then sell them as part of a kit on an exchange basis? Charge people an extra $100 that you'll refund once they send in their stock manifold.

Might be easier and a shed load cheaper than trying to get your own steam pipe manifold sorted?

Just a thought.

[t_revz]

^^^ good idea. I pulled a tonne out of mine. Surprising how poorly the ports matched the head. Plus the collector flange is much smaller than the gasket.

Whoever purchased a ss2 running ext gate is in for a treat.

Just got my car tuned at chequered tuning

Initially got 295 but wanted to be safe so turned back the timing.

So final =

276rwkw

18psi tapering to 16psi

Full boost at 3800

There is an abundance of wheel spin and really quick acceleration . Very happy.

[Mitcho_7]

That sounds awesome dude, congrats.

What was the rest of your setup?

cool, do you think its laggy now?, Stao ran a bit more boost didn't he..21psi tapering to..? be good to see the dyno

would something like this work ?

[adam999111]

Yes, In my opinion it is still laggy. But that is greatly outweighed by the power it produces and the smile it puts on my face on boost. Mind you it has performed just as well if not better than Stao has described it would so the turbo for what it is is great.

Mods are as follows

Z32

3" exhaust, no cat, 1 muffler (home-made)

600x400 bar and plate cooler with return flow piping, assuming its home-brand as i only paid $50.

Tial 44mm gate (17.64PSI)

SS2 0.82 type b

52mm Radiator

bcpr7es copper plugs

DW 740cc Injectors accompanied by a Bosch 044 (intank)

EVERYTHING else is standard

[adam999111]

And a HKS pod with a 3 inch intake (AFM at pod filter)
