How much can I increase my boost too before having to make modifications to the turbo?

You might wana keep it around 11-12, for more reasons than just the turbo's life.

To avoid detonation, and keep the turbo efficient most people tend to keep it round there. With correct tuning you can get alot of power out of them on low boost with a SAFC or similar.

agreed.

i think the general consensus is that @ 14psi you are pushing not only the flow capacity of the turbo, but also the life of the exhaust wheel

people generally run around 12psi feeling that this offers the best power for turbo reliability

(also, a search would yield quite a few threads on this matter)

Waz.

i use to run 12 psi on my r32 rb20 ... i end up changing the turbo 3 times ... and the last one was leaking .... :D ...  that was befor my friend crash the car.. :thumbsup:

i think 10 is ok ...  but am planning for 12 on my r34 ... :D

you blew the turbo 3 times on the standard set up? Im thinking your boostguage was faulty and you were running significantly more than that...

no my boostguage was perfect ... my car was standerd ... only for the KSROM chip

which is set up for 12 psi ( i dont have a boost control ) .. and 8000 rev ( they did it is japan) and some fuel and ignition remaping ...

and 3.5 inch exust ..

no cat no nothing .. but the muffler at the end .. thats why my turbo exust wheel spen all the way out of the exust .. lool ... :cheers:

maybe from the way i was driving ... lol .. drifting all the time .. and the rev was always high ... above 3500 .. :rofl:

any way ... its over ... i have my r34 now ... never reach 3000 RPM :jk: lol

lol good effort, im not sure how the hell you managed to kill 3 on standard boost but thats pretty special dude lol

Take it easy on the 34, those turbos cost a wee bit more. I guess you could buy in bulk? lol

Cheers

    • 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!
