cars in the workshop atm. Just called them about GFB bleed they dont carry them. He said that most peeps happy with the turbosmart said its the new model. He also said that most bleed valves spike under heavy load anyways.

Oh well time will tell. Oh and when u guys say spiking Im guessing u mean something like when u give it a good amount of throttle at high revs/under load that the turbo tends to stutter sort of like a blocked carb or something? Forgive my newbness but not sure exactly what that means...

Ok just drove it for the first time. Yep boost comes quicker and harder @ 11psi. Gave it a bit nowhere near redline (not game yet) and can definately notice more power guess with the twin dump full 3inch and 11 psi Id be around the 160 rwkw mark now.

But man is it loud. Anybody got any ideas on what sort of sound proofing i can put in my boot. The compliancers wont give me my spare so its empty and probably making it more noisy! Thinking some kind of foam needs to be light and block noise really well...

twin dump = another pipe for wastegate, re enters dump futher down....

The compliancers wont give me my spare

I would have thought a car which was complianced and no spare wheel in the boot unroadworthy.... I would go down and force them to give it to you..

Yes not happy about that but they told me those were the rules and yes they gave me a roadworthy to take to QLD Transport without spare...

Oh by the way anybody got any ideas on soundproofing for my boot. I think im getting fair amount of resonance from the exhuast tip through the boot. Thinking of going to clark rubber and getting some foam to put in behind the back seat to dampen the droning.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      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!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      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!
