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.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
