I did consider the 20g also, but might not make the 280-300kw I want with a turn flow. And if it did I would need a few more psi. Dori33 and I went to a drift day and he has a 20g and it got super hot. So running slightly less psi will hopefully drop the temps a little.

plus by the time u setup an external gate its going to cost you another 600..

HG turbos are known to be reliable..I know theres alot if drifters down here using them..

The varying results you see are usually to do with setup not the turbo

I'll be going external gate whatever Turbo I go. As it transfers excess heat away from the exhaust wheel and won't create turbulence. That cost has already been covered. Thanks for the input. I may consider a 20g.

Ahh ok..just don't mount the gate on the exhaust manifold..its crap :P

what makes you say its crap?

making claims without any proof, i can say that mounting the gate on the turbo housing is crap too.

just changed over to the anti-surge slot front housing, changes the induction noise completely, sounds pretty good.

feels slightly more responsive in 3rd. going to Jez in 2 wks for touch up tune, hopefully can completely rid of the light surge in 4th and hit 21psi.

    • 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!
