Il post up a new thread with all the issues I had since the hypergear installation and what I did to fix them

Edit, il post it in here first and if there is a problem with what I say I can fix it before I create a reference thread.

Edited by lilcrash

Problems/issues installing a hypergear atr43ss-1 turbo.

1. Fouls on heat sheild on manifold - cut piece out to clear housing, dint the heat shield or use 10mm flange spacer.

2. Rear housing is 20mm longer - move all exhaust mounts forward 20mm

3. Water lines don't line up - get custom made lines

4. Oil drain on awkward angle - custom made oil drain

5. No boost reference nipple in turbo - weld on into one of your custom pipes

6. Needs custom intake - make custom intake

I doubt its the headgasket. Do a comp and leakdown test. U have been running 25psi. I would be a little concerned whether the tune was safe for that amount of boost. May be alright.

Clean all cooler pipes and catch can etc. Try running with catch can not connected to the turbo intake pipe. Run it into another can or bottle etc and monitor whther its still spewing out oil

I'm doing a comp test tonight, if it isn't head gasket i think it's deffinately rings. I clean up all I could reach, and have now swapped the intakes over until I can resolve this oil issue. I was steadily accelerating holding the throttle at 18/20psi when I started to smell the oil again. It only hit 25 psi 3/4times I don't feel it's safe at that level.

Ok turns out my engine is just rooted.

91,167,167,168,167,167. That was engine still hot, many burns on my fingers :(, poured oil into cyl 1 and it came up to 130psi. So yeah head gasket?

Air shouldn't be going past the piston rings..

You've Got some serious issues.

And when runnin that my boost, why the hell aren't you running a proper electronic boost controller?

Skimping on one of the most critical parts?

Can't be a head gasket if oil brought the compression up that much from 90psi.

I'd say that cylinder is about to grenade so I wouldn't even start the car anymore.

And if this is a standard engine, why the hell are you running 25psi of boost?

Seriously...

Are you getting paid to troll? Cause the more you reply you just add more and more f**kin

stupid comments...

First it was the tune, then the actuator, oil blowing out the ass end, headgasket...

Wats next? The chain slips on the sprocket? or it wont go into lo 4x4?

Take the f**kin thing to a mech and get them to solve it cause clearly you cant even let

alone describe your problems.

And the oil spraying could be because of the current problem could it not?

Boost issue still isn't completely resolved but clearly something has gone wrong somewhere. And as for the tune well that has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Yeah your oil problem could be as dramatic as it is because of Cyl 1.

Sounds like a cooked piston fr those symptoms (busted ring lands, crown) and that would let combustion pressure into the oil system.

Well there you have it. Get a 2nd hand motor and fix it. Consider taking it to a mechanic.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
