test fit turbo upgrade (pics)

[captainclutchkick]

heres a few pics of my turbo upgrade from hypergear in australia, this is their tr44 turbo, the kit comes with this turbo, stainless oil feed line, and 3inch turbo outlet pipe , and all gaskets and hardware. the kit is 940.00au or 700.00 us, this kit took about 9 days to get to my door from austrailia. so far i have only mounted the turbo to test fit it on the stock manifold and if you clock it correctly it will fit the stock manifold but will rest on the manifold in one spot but it shouldnt be a problem, also you will need to cutthe factory exhuast manifold heat sheild if you want to use it with this turbo. also the turbo is only oil cooled so the coolant feed and return lines need to be blocked off or you could bypass the turbo and conect them together. when i recieved the kit they forgot to ship my oil line and turbo outlet pipe but the owner stao is a good guy so im shure he will be sending those parts out to me asap. anyways the turbo made 226rwkw on their test car so that comes out to about 300whp with basic upgrades such as full exhuast,front mount,intake.... the wastegate actuator that comes with it is set for 10psi so they say you dont need to upgrade to bigger injectors or bigger maf to run this at 10psi but soon i will be getting a power fc and then a good tune. the turbo comes with a 6month warrenty and is said to be good up to 6000 hrs of continuos boost so h they claim an average of 60,000 km of used before needing to be overhualed.

i wish my turbo fit that well. seems like a good deal. +1

[jdmser]

you didn't happen to blow your compressor wheel while trying to dyno did you?

[captainclutchkick]

actually since i have had the swap done i have only put 13 miles on the car and blown two factory turbos, damn the luck.

[blues14]

keep us posted.......sounds like a great deal!

[captainclutchkick]

heres one of the intercooler piping i did today, it looks a little funky but it should work pretty good.

[BoostFab]

looks like well thought out. is it running yet?

[captainclutchkick]

no im still waiting for the downpipe and oil lines for the turbo and they are coming from austrailia so it may be a week or so but ill keep you guys updated.

What STRUT BAR is that? I can't find one that fit's my car. What brand is it?If it's Ebay do you have the link to it? Thanks

[Joe]

unless you have a greddy intake manifold you wont be able to use that strut bar.

[ADVAN]

I see, So inorder for me to put any bar, I would need that greddy intake mani? There isn't any other that would fit?

The Greddy IM or a custom give clearance for the strutbar. you could have custom strutbar made. just common sense man, look at the stock IM, it will hit any low profile strutbar. look around.

captainclutchkick - you say your compressor housing is resting against the exhaust manifold. Aren't you worried about thermal expansion of both the compressor and manifold in different directions under abuse? I would think some forces would be transferred through the compressor housing causing deformation or putting stress on your manifold. Can someone else maybe comment on this as I'm no expert? Isn't there enough room for you to add a spacer flange onto the exhaust manifold or is it tight on the fender side as well?

I like your piping setup. Like boostsfed said, looks well-planned.

[captainclutchkick]

i hope there isnt an issue, though i dont think the iron manifold or the aluminum compressor will expand enough to be a concern as the block is iron the head is aluminum and the manifold is iron. but i could be wrong?

heres a pic of how much they are touching, as for a spacer its always an option i may go with?

[skillzilla]

A cusco strut bar will fit the stock intake manifold, see:



Also, I would add a spacer to that turbo, just in case. Its better have some wiggle room as things start heating up. Also, nice 26 cam covers, those are hott They bolt right on?

[captainclutchkick]

actually they are polished rb25 covers, but yes rb26 cover bolt on

[skillzilla]

oops my bad, look good regardless though. They dont look too "polished" but I get your meaning.

[jc0526]

maybe just throw in another gasket. might give just enough clearance. its a little ghetto but it should work.

[jdmser]

I hope he's not still trying to figure out how to make that turbo fit. This threads going on two years old.

I want to know more about these... hyper gear turbos

lol back from the dead.

[l0nestar]

Next I want a picture of Lazarus..

Nice find though!

[Kalypso]

thanks

what is hyper gear's reputation with these turbos?

are they known to last long

[DriftsideRacing.com]

has the same name as our own DSR430..

hyper gear's turbos are a copy of the DSR NZ Turbo. Riding of the DSR name. Made in China. But they Claim there assembled in Australia.

DSR is the true named VSR Balanced turbo

Well done on your oh so subtle attempt to advertise your chinese crap.

LOL! Riding on the DSR name hey? Because DSR is such a well established name that people recognise? Oh wait....

Actually it doesn't have the same name, but you are right, they are the same chinese made cheap generic turbos. Everyone buys them and sticks their little nameplate on and markets them as their own, just like you do.

Straight from the chinese factory $290 Here is the link. Buy in bulk for a good price! Tell them TSL sent you!

While you are there get your ebay t03/04, fake garrett, holset, trust etc...

wow what a d!ck. I suggest looking close at the pictures of each turbo exhaust housings and wheels before you make comment in the future

Thanks for the link tho. Interesting

I thought you would find that link interesting. I'm sure it will come in handy for your next order of turbos.

Here is some more, they are everywhere...

Ahh that old trick. Hypergear claims to have unique turbine wheels and exhaust housings.

http://www.digi-hardware.com/ Funny, just like you do!

[nizmo zilvia]

Whats it between you two? Both you sound "professional" lol.

[TSL]

Nothing personal.

I just saw that he signed up to Nico and his first post is a sly attempt to promote his product. He has the nerve to slander another company for selling the very same junk he sells and tries to claim it as his own design.

It is well known that all these cheap turbos that have flooded the market are all chinese made from copies of 20 year old turbo designs. The quality control isn't as good as the higher priced genuine turbos, with poor quality casting, inferior balancing and high rates of bearing failure.

There is little to no R&D involved with these turbos which are already based on old and flawed designs. Many of the internal wastegates are incorrectly sized leading to boost control problems. Although most of these turbos are capable of making the claimed power, the transient response and efficiency is not as good as the modern designs from the proper turbo manufacturers that actually spend a lot of time and money developing their turbos.

Obviously he is pissed that i pointed out the easy availability of these turbos. If you can be bothered dealing with the chinese factories direct you can get pretty much any sized turbo for $450 or less. The smaller ones are like $200.

Check the links i posted.

[Kalypso]

you're right, he's a fool.
