sorry, could be stupid question....

if we could make a twin low-mount VNT RB26 setup work, would you modify my HKS 2530's or would i need completely new units?

Thanks for the feedbacks.

I can make it work with the GTR turbochargers, you will need to find room under the bonnet as they will need to run two actuators side by side.

I don't think there should be a reliability concern, concept is pretty solid and working well. I can make it working with your PU high flow as well, once again just need to find room to fit the additional actuator unless going high mount. It should knock lag off by about 500rpms.

Cummins/Holset turbos had a problem with VNT on truck engines. Was something to do with the variable vanes or actuator getting clogged with carbon and not allowing the vanes to fully open or close. The turbos have speed sensors in them so when this happens the speed of the shaft is too high or low and the engine de-rates

Vague random information. But its not a problem when there is no speed sensor, or at least there will be no major problem with the car. You will just have reduced performance or increased lag till its sorted.

This is an issue with specific turbos though and does not necessarily apply to stao's design. Im really looking forward to what happens with this in the next few months. So tempted to trade mine for a VNT still lol

interesting... could you advise on a price please? PM if you want.

would it be worth doing a ceramic bearing change at the same time? were the VNT units that you were testing ceramic rollers?

All sorted

Pre load was never sorted at install as I expected it was already set up, now I have to get it retuned as it's hitting 20psi when it was tuned to 16, lol.
Which means it was bypassing boost before it got a chance to build it, still laggy but not as bad, but now leaves lines at 1-2 change with half throttle :)

not all bad news after all! Small issue easily resolved and find a way to improve the performance also.

good work.

i cant see it fitting package wise on a gtr... would be awesome though.

the bearing in these units are pretty extreme, we compared them to the best available turbocharger units and the hypergear ones are in another league. i cannot divulge the origins of Toa's bearing but they are very under stressed in a turbocharger application... they are originally designed for military aerospace applications and run at around $200-400 per unit... and there are multiple units per Hypergear turbo.

im pretty sure tao was looking to find a suitable test car that sees plenty of circuit work to complete proof of concept.

Again i am not endorsed or ever received anything from hypergear, im just excited about his new developments and i still believe this is the most interesting turbocharger to ever grace my shop.

Thanks for the feed backs.

I will be back with the SS1PU with VNT turbine next week, if test of it goes well with the Rb25det then I will leave this turbo with Trent for his Cefferio for some track work and in comparison to his current TD05h.

With the GTR I can modify the original -5 turbine housing you have with the VNT setups, the only problems is fitting 2nd actuator and bracket, which you might need to make some alterations under the engine bay to make extra room for. But apart from that it shouldn't be a issue.

Stao, i'll PM you

my ultimate setup

Super high compression 26

pistons to allow for the upgraded V-cam gear (more timing advancement)

Chequered Tuning V-Cam

Twin Hypergear 2530 VNT's

E85

add boost :D

bah!!! soooo tempted...

If I ever own another GTST it will have a Hypergear 2iu highflow.

That car is incredibly fast. 1:04 is incredibly fast. I am blown away.

That turbo has done a lot of track work now as well. The response and the way it delivers torque is amazing.

It does lack power in a straight line, but what can you expect for a little 21U housing.

Tao has tried many times to tempt me off this turbo. But I love it too much.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
