Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread


Recommended Posts

I have a mate who's drift car (with RB30/26DET) puts out 450 rwkw through a HDi intercooler. So sure you can force the air through the china cores to make reasonable power... but it begs the question, how much extra power would it make with a decent cooler? At the same time the tune would probably be safer due to lower intake temps.

has any body tried water spray to increase core cooling? I've seen this make good power difference in the dyno.

I have a mate with a R33 GTS-t with water spray hooked to his IAT sensor.. smart, but you need to always refill it on the track and 1x 2L washer jet bottle doesn't last a full session on the track.

So better to get a more efficient core to start with.

Hopefully when funds permit next year, I will be going straight up to a 100mm Plazmaman core.

I built a system using the Autospeed intelligent water spray controller (which is actually a very clever piece of kit and worth the money) a largish water bottle from a Cordia and a good Bosch windscreen washer pump from a Commodore. Plus a very good atomiser from Spraying Systems. I installed that on my original R32 sidemount. Running the RB20 at 14 psi was enough to make the sidemount marginal - it would heat soak if you drove the car hard. The water spray did an excellent job of keeping the cooler's temp down, and the spray controller made very parsimonious use of the water, so the bottle lasted weeks of street driving. This was all pants-dyno stuff, so not particularly scientific.

When I upgraded to a front mount I could not tell the difference between having the spray working or not, so clearly the cooler was good enough on its own. So I took it all off the car.

if anyone wants my scotty_nm35 intake it's for sale with all silicone joiners/reducers to fit either stock airbox -> hypergear SS2/G3 turbos or pod..

No point

a small wmi jet works much better..

and i bet anything you would like ..using a china core with wi is better than a expensive core heatsoak wise aswell. Was cheap aswell when dollar was good

cheers

darren

I'm on E85, so doesn't "really" make a difference in terms of knock.. but because it's not as cold means you make less power and also I have an IAT table that corrects the injection table so it doesn't run rich as crap.

I'm happy to spend my money where it's needed and happy to get rid of my China Racing products (sound racist, but I'm half chongers myself hahahaa)

Not anymore unfortunately. I want another kit to put on the diesel family wagon but not with today's prices.

another quick question.

Can the ATR45 be supplied with braided lines to suit rather than attempting to make the standard lines fit?

+ pricing

I would also be interested to know - I guess it would be just as easy to get the earls kit though or get custom lines made.

Will wait for Stao's response.

ATR45SAT comes with braided oil feeding line and uses OEM oil drain. Including the manifold spacer this turbocharger is $1350 inc GST internally gated.

The water lines you can use Earles kits for around $130 from Pirtek. Or you can use push on hoses and fittings, which comes to around $40.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
