Hey guys.

Silly question but i better double check. Just about ready to throw my new Hypergear turbo on. Just getting the space ready before i do.

It comes with a braided Oil line. Now banjo fitting on turbo side (easy enough), On the engine side it is a 2 piece setup. Male thread which screws into the stock location on the engine. Then it has a threaded compression type end which screws into the female thread on the braided line. It Screws in quite easily to the engine. Now i am trying to work out what i can use to ensure theres no oil leakages. Whether a copper washer connecting to the engine would be sufficient and whether i would need anything to seal the fitting to the braided line.

If this make no sense at all I can get pictures up tomorrow. Last thing stopping me from getting the turbo onto the manifold.

Cheers for any help.

Luke

Hey mate I think it might be a copper washer.

What hypergear turbo did you get?

Reason asking is I just picked up mine today from Stao. Its the atr43g3 .82. Mine won't be installed and tuned untill first week of Jan. So let us know how you go.

ATR43i - G3 0.63 housing.

Cheers. I'll stick with just the copper washer. And just keep an eye on it for the start to make sure she seals.

It'll be a fair while before i will be able to post real results. I'm doing a bit of cosmetic work under the bonnet whilst its all out which im in no major hurry for, and with both cars insurance and rego due shortly, I wont be able to afford to get tuned for a while.

Hey mate,

Just to let you know i got a ATR28 from stao for an RB20.

The stock coolant lines wont fit.... if fact they hit on the turbo so i had to get some braided ones made up.

Didnt know until i tried to get it to fit...

Cheers

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
