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.

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

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
