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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
