So My Turbo Is No Good For Rb30DET? i only need to get a few more things togeather to finish the build, also quick question are RB20Det red top lifters the same as RB25DET ones? just a question. mayb i start a build thread.

That turbo will be OK, but it is not the best turbo [its not even in the top 10] for the job. Don't buy a cheap turbo and expect ace performance, doesn't happen like that. But you will make decent power, just not the best or most efficient etc etc. Look at the RB30 results thread and see how many are using that turbo, SFA. Then look at the turbo's they are using and the power they are making.

It will be laggy, unresponsive and probably won't last for big miles. So when your travelling from Mildura to Adelaide or something it will let you down one day, one day!!!

Thank you tridentt for that info and thank you everyone else for your input. anyone wanna buy a really really really good turbo?? haha

I guess ill be looking for a 35/40 then. then my motor will be a 25/30 35/40

quick breif on motor.

Rb30 Fully forged and oversized bottom end, all acl pistons, rods, seals, gaskets, bearings, n1 oil pump, underdriven harmonic balencer, block was acid dipped bored 40thou over decked.

head is Rb25det s2 reco'd, ported n polished, stronger valves, springs,

std cams, and lifters.

power fc, 2x z32 afm, hi mount, 850cc or 880cc cant remember but there denso's.

think thats about it. what turbo size would i be looking at?

wanna go big power but dont want it toooo laggy.

I made over 400Kw's with a GT35, thinking of going bigger but... make it easier.... but i'm hesitant to increase lag...

As for seeing what you buy, 6Boost is the cheapest and what ever you decide you want he'll get it for you.... and when you decide to get one of his manifolds he'll discount it for you as your a repeat customer...

I know it might seem like im flying the 6Boost flag, but i got screwed oround for 2 months when i bought my turbo, had to threaten legal action to get my money back...

Rang Kyle, got it cheaper and delivered in 5 days...

Plus you get after sale support...

mayb his the man to call. Still not 100% on the GT3540. not keen on the T04.

Im still keen on 350+ just not sure how much power my set up will do. id like to get the most out of it and since im buying a new turbo i would want it holding me back and havin to buy another one.

i deff want garrett.

    • Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action
    • 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!
