Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread


Recommended Posts

Picking the car up just after 5pm this arvo, will upload pic of dyno printout (if they got one, I hope they did) as soon as I get home.

Fark I wish there wasn't so much that went to shit with the car once I dropped it in tho lol, cost of the whole exercise is gonna top $10k

I think the workshop muffed up the wastegate rod adjustment, Stao reckons the wastegate is constantly open a little which would explain why it has such horrible boost curve. VERY happy with the outcome thought, 284rwkw at 15psi is nice.

ATR43G2 0.82 exhaust 0.60A/R

Flow-wise, take that 284rwkw@15psi as capability of the turbo. Just the boost curve is VERY buggered because the actuator was adjusted by accident. I'm taking it back to workshop tomorrow during lunch to see what I can do to have it sorted out, as Stao pretty much explained exactly what the problem is.

I might also chuck on a 14psi actuator as I'm second-guessing running 18psi through a stock internal RB25, given that 15psi nets me 284rwkw. Either way, I should be seeing full boost by 125 - 135kph in 4th.

I took a video of how the actuator should be adjusted. This must be done every time the actuator bracket or housing position is altered. I've written done the steps in my video description. Its a 5 mints job to do. Will notice massive difference in response once done. Need to get the car checked on dyno once all set correctly.

Well I know the workshop/tuner set a 16psi overboost....so I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'll have to speak to them before I touch anything, coz god knows what the AFR's will be if I let it boost higher.

I hope it's not going to need a retune, coz I'm surely not pocketing that as the wastegate was fiddled with by them...if it's going to need a retune, I think I'll just use a 14psi actuator instead and be happy with the 15psi power, coz it is a lot!

lol THANKS STAO, I'll watch that now so I know what to do :dry: much appreciated!

The actuator I fitted is in 20psi. Should hold around 19psi with no boost controller or 19 psi is the minimum boost you can run once setup correctly. Keep it on 19psi, lot more fun then 15psi :happy: .

How much do those actuators sell for Stao?

If the car's been tuned perfectly with 19 psi it will not cause any problems.

You gonna pay for the rebuild in 18months if that isn't true?

I mean logically his tuner is giving him reasonable advice.

280rwkw is a nice and safe limit for a stock bottom end.

If it were my car i wouldnt be pushing any further either. Just because it makes that power fine now - doesnt mean after a year or two of of it'll still be the same story :happy:

Ditto, good reason my car is tuned for 17psi max on the stock internals - it seems happy enough there but after plugging the numbers into the ECU to keep it happy and safe around that boost level, it was obvious things start getting harder on the engine above that point.... and thats with a generally larger turbo on my car.

Let's not walk past the respectable power output lol.

Yeah the bottom end eating poo will obviously be different for everyone, I'm just happy with the power it's on now.

Once the response issue is resolved and car is put back on rollers to ensure it doesn't lean out in the new cells on the map, the 284rwkw is a very good number for 15psi imo, considering the specs of the car.

i just watched your video on adjusting the preload and I realised I did it wrong I just put it on at the max limit without pulling the rod now I did it your way of half a hole gap and pull it on and wow the boost is coming on so hard now but it is overboosting so guess got to go pay trent a visit to make sure its not getting out of control

Great result Troy! Yup as you said the boost control is definitely not right. Great max power though.

Are you sure you dont have the ATR43G3? I didnt think the G2 would make that power on 15psi??

hahaha, dunno hey! :happy: Ask Stao...but nah it should be the g2

Otherwise just had a bit of a play with the wastegate while on the phone with Stao...I'm gonna need to find a pair of pliers to fiddle with it a bit, it seems to be adjusted correctly but I'm not to happy with the way it moves. I think my workshop have touched something they shouldn't have.

That, and my stock BOV appears to now be atmo. lol there's no plumback line

If the car's been tuned perfectly with 19 psi it will not cause any problems.

What I like is how the boost drops down to 18psi from 6,000rpm onwards, reduces a bit of stress on the engine for the top rpm.

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
