DIY: Boost Controll

Many of you may have been fooled into buying bleed valves, in some cases even expensive electronic items. All i can do is frown at this behaviour. You have all you need to make your own at your local hardware store! What your going to need for this exercise is a piece of vacumm hose, prefferably long enough to reach from your actuator to near your pod or airbox and a screw (pictured below) and a screw driver (philips head)

After obtaining these items you need to decide one of two things. Just how much boost do you wish to run and whether or not you want to be able to adjust it.

OPTION 1) Run the vacumm hose off your actuator with no screw in the end. This method is very effective performance wise, however it MAY lead to destuction of things such as your turbo. Not to worry fuel cut will save you. This method shows how truly hardened you are and indicates just how much boost your stock turbo can handle before literally throwing chunks of the exhaust wheel out your exhaust. Some may view this method as a little extreme even though it has proven promising on certain cars . Not to worry option 2 is for these people.

OPTION 2) This option is for the light hearted. You take your vaccum hose and bring it all the way to near the pod. You then use your screw and screwdriver to implant the screw in the hose. (seen below) The further you screw it in the less boost you will run. To get maximum performance we suggest road tuning, to optimise the boost level.

what are we looking at in the first two piccies??

am i correct in assuming it's the vacuum hose coming off the actuator??

i hope no-one has done this to their cars. seems seriously dodgy to me.

lol yea, as josh said we did it to his car and it held boost suprisingly well. And his Apexi boost controller was crap and didnt work, who wants to go around on 7psi, something had to be done and this was it. Dodgy? yes. dangerous? probably. Did it work? You bet ya...:(

interesting.  

just let me know how long your engine holds up and i'll consider doing this to my car.

though i suppose it sure beats spending hundreds of $$$ on electronics that don't want to work.

I have now sold the car; I had this dodgy item on the car for around 6 months with no signs or ware and or damage.

As it was only holding 12psi.. There should be any difference between that, and 12psi on a real controller.

I had a compression check down before the new owner got the car, and all was fine. The turbo was in ok condition for a car with 140,000kay.

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      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!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      By Danowner · Posted

      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!
