You're better off with a Hypergear turbo to be honest.

His latest high flow will get you close to 300kW on 98RON in the stock location, stock dump, etc. (Just need the right supporting mods).

On E85 or WMI you'll easily go 350kW+

Is there a reason you push hypergear so much over other brands? I notice it's not just in this thread but plenty of others as well

In context there are probably not many current alternatives which bolt on so easily and perform fairly well - though as soon as you go to custom piping etc I think you're better off looking at the likes of Garrett etc.

Best reason I can think of.  They are a bit cheaper but they are also relatively laggy for the power they make compared to more popular/big name options - in my experience

I’m open to opinions and reviews on turbos that you guys have had in the past. 

Ive had a look at garret, precision, kinugawa, hypergear, done research on all and it’s between hypergear and garret probably! Still learning as we discuss anyways.

It's because it's a complete bolt on solution, yes a GTX3071 "might" be bolt on, but you still need a new intake new water/oil lines and by the time you're done that's nearly double the price of a Hypergear.

Most GTS-t owners:

  • are on a budget
  • usually do the work themselves because of point 1
  • want power fast
  • want not so much lag
  • want plug and play

If someone had a built motor, and wanted 400kW+ etc. said they wanted power/response for roll racing/track work then I wouldn't recommend a Hypergear. There are other threads where I've mentioned GTX3576s or EFR8374s, etc.

Just to be clear, I am not sponsored by Hypergear nor is there any financial benefit for me in recommending the brand.

 

I met a guy having trouble with an rb30 chewing through gt3582r turbos with .63 rear. 

What ended up happening was rear of chra turned blue and cooked the bearings. 

They only lasted a few thousand kms.

Put a Borg Warner airwerks on with bigger rear and the car fell apart around the turbo.

I'd imagine a .82 on 3576 would work much better.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
