Gav's car with similar spec to yours pumped out around 560 at the very least. Then he added e85 conversion.. so a theoretical guess would be around the 600+ mark.

I think you should get a 14mm rail conversion and some 14mm injectors for less price than the hks ones, plus you can then go e85 later for that extra ~10% in power increase just from a retune.. Cheapest investment/performance ratio for sure..

I am not looking to smashing numbers with this engine.

I want it to last for 5-6 years, without having to worry about it.

500 -525 at the wheels will be more than enough.

Plus I bought Gav's old injectors hahhaha

hasn't he done some really hard km's on his motor since it was built, 3+ years ago? If its tuned well, surely it'd last if the engine is built properly.

E85 should increase torque over the entire range, sounds fun indeed for track.

May as well go hard and enjoy it haha

I'm also in the middle of doing a 2.8L also although I used Pauter rods same as Gav and my crank came from the UK.

So who are you using for your engine builder and machinist?

Ant at X-Speed is building the motor.

Machinist is via LF, Ant's recommendation

Who's LF?

Ants going to build it, that will deff be a machine. With Ant doing it must around 30K+ easy.

Hope to see more pics. Are you doing any modifications to the STD gearbox, brakes, clutch etc?

What compression are you going for?

Turbo configuration? Have you decided on a cam duration and lift yet?

Hey Mike,

Yes the 2.8L bug finally got you too. Good choice in acquiring the HKS Step 2 kit, combined with -5s should make for some real fun!

Hmm... E85? I wonder what Racepace can do with E85 tune in my car.... Instant 105 increase in power across the whole rev range with proper tune and same hardware, sound too good to be true.... need to do more research.

Cheers

Matt

Probably LF Performance.

No matter who builds the engine it's going to cost and Ant is the man in Perth when it comes to these engines. Do it once and do it properly!!

Rob have you still not built your thing yet?? I remember talking to you back in 2007 and though you were pretty close then.

He is using -5's.

Hey John,

Few things in between have got in the way of my build. Also My car is getting a bare metal respray as well, so its taken a while to get all the rubbers together etc etc etc

Even getting R34 GTR dump pipes have proven to be near on impossible. So at the moment trying to coordinate rebuild on motor and shell respray.

Anyways I will subscribe to this build to see how it progress's.

Pity you weren't paying attention to the for sales forum a few weeks back, I had a spare set.

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

      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!
