PS i know this may sound silly, but are you running a BOV?

I know not running one usually means the turbo dies quicker (even though most people will deny this), its just that when running one, especially in drift, it doesnt feel like the BOV can keep up with being on and off the throttle as much as you are while drifting.

Just read all 22 pages, awesome build mate, reading this makes me want to get started on mine sooner. Good stuff!

So how did the gtx go compared to the non gtx?

Also whats the reason for the r33 TB instead of the r34 one?

Good work mate! :cheers:

used the 33 tb because the 34 one is much longer and has all the TCS crap in it.

i did a review in the forced section with a GTX vrs GT.. its defo better, spools earlier!

which is exactally why i dont run one. BOV's WILL make it laggier while on and off the throttle during drift.

hahaha thought i was the only one to feel that except for the japs.

Also how do you have the crankcase pressure valve set up? are you running a catch can or just like standard with the nipple on the intake pipe?

sorry about all the questions, just absolutely love this car, especially seeing as its proven.

catch can venting to atmo.. simple and effective!

G1 rd 2 run and done.. i can forget about back to back championships now... i blew 3rd early on in the day :(

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
