I had the same problem with a 0.82ar gt35, 3.5" exh with a tial 44mm and the gate welded as per Roy's post. The problem & fix are pretty

well documented so I'm surprised you weren't made aware by Kyle when making the purchase.....

The main problem we had when tuning was massive boost creep at higher rpm.

Who is Kyle?

We had a similar issue with our boost control/ gate/ turbo setup.

Rb25

HKS 264 exahust cam

China intake plenum

6boost t4 twin scroll manifold

custom t4-t4 twin scroll adapter

gt3076r turbo .86 rear

Custom "straight" 3- 3.5" exhaust

Started with a 38mm gate plumbed to both scrolls on the manifold and Profec B controller- would control boost well if throttle was open gently, but would creep up with the revs. Would not control at all if the throttle was snapped on

Tried changing to a 45mm gate- similar issue..

Changed to an eboost 2.. No problems

I think the 38mm gate is a little too small for the rb25 at revs..

I did read that the Profec boost controllers weren't responsive enough for some applications.. What boost control are you using?

^same problem as CMS, 38mm tial, profec b, td06 on a std 20. Changed to a TIAL 44mm but didnt change teh boost controller. Still spiked to 14psi but it wasnt as bad as 22psi with the 38mm,

We're just using a bleed valve. No electronics at all because of simialar issues to what you've said above.

6boost is being modified at the moment by ACE. It looks very impressive and we went for a turbosmart 50mm as well. We wanted to go tial but they only make 44 and 60! Should fix it. Maybe dyno time later this week.

i hope the turbosmart gate works as they have a horrid reputation for failing. althoe i havent heard any bad things about the latest gen.

hows the nerves going leading upto Supernap with a fresh setup?

Yeah turbosmart wasn't first choice but it's the only 50mm that would suit.

Nerves... Dunno. I'll tell you when I turn in to turn 1 at Phillip Island! haha

Might be my only test day although still hoping to have a go at winton also.

pics of the wing!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. sneak preview...

I still haven't seen it all together.

Supports like the one on the right. Had to be beefed up to handle the load.

CF Front diffuser and splitter also on the way...

I think Kyle recommends the 50mm gate now as minimum from what my tuner was saying. I don't know whether it was the gate or ebc that was my problem as i've since sold the setup. They are a good manifold tho

are you planning on adding a gurney flap to that wing? if not I'd seriously consider it.

No wasn't planning to. It will have adjustable pitch though.

are you doing anything to the boot lid to stop it from flexing under load?

Yep it will need massive bracing but I'll worry bout that when it arrives.

    • 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!
