TD05 16G6-7 Hypergear turbo intercooler routing

[brettu26]

Hi guys
I've got one of these rarities to put on my VR4

can you guys show pics of the intercooler piping route form the compressor housing (hot side)? Is it the same as an evo 1-3?

I want to see and get an idea of where I can route it on my VR4 before I come to fit it
due to its low outlet im thinking I can come up with something better than the stock piping route I have over the exh manifold etc.
Maybe even a new cooler with inlet/outlet on the one side, shorten it up a bit.

any pics would be great thanks
cheers, Brett

Brett you can use the VR4 hot hose, but route it down bellow.
Cheers !

yeah cool I guess so, I was thinking more for upgrading to aftermarket metal piping. shouldve been clearer sorry.
and if I can go shorter route, then even better.

You'd have to go along the bottom under the exhaust manifold, inline with the outlet of the turbo, then take you the screw in plate where the stock intercooler piping travels through pas the radiator, and you have just enough room to fit up to 2.5 inch piping through next to the radiator to the intercooler.

Great turbo that the only thing that held me back when it came up for sale was i had just modified my piping "kit" heaps!

 

[brettu26]

sounds good yeah.

cant wait to see how the turbo goes! i dont have piping kit yet, just munted stock aspec, hence why im asking for pics to get some ideas.

cheers

if you cant get it to work, let me know, I might be keen for my RVR.

What did you pay for it?

 

[brettu26]

Hell no im not getting rid of it sorry mate, i got it off trademe again, paid a very reasonable $$$ including the evo 3 manifold it came on

Nice try Matt

As milkandoj has said useing the stock intercooler piping path would be the shorter route in a VR4. In the HSG the piping goes underneath and to one side of the radiator.

This is the only photo I have sorry (it's VR401's rvr)

Nice try Matt

lol i tought so! its worth a crack anyway:lol:

when i had my RVR 16G on,

Same intercooler route, just different turbo,

i think from memory the VR4 front roll stopper (engine mount) makes it a little difficult.

 

[brettu26]

Awesome! thanks heaps mate thats real handy

 

[brettu26]

so, as you may have read in my ride thread, i tried fitting this on the weekend to no avail. the compressor outlet fouls on the vr4's front engine mount?!
in that pic above, it seems to be very close, what car is that?

im thinking now that I will get a evo 3 compressor housing, maybe a 18G or 20G ported one from Kando, if there is any benefit in that?

what differences are on this 16G6-7 than normal evo 3 big 16G?

im on a bit of a downer at the moment about it all

Yo Brettu I'm sending you a PM

 

[brettu26]

off hand; anyone know the stock wastegate actuator spring pressure on these? is it the same as or higher than gvr4 etc?

am going to remove the locating pin on the compressor cover, rotate it and fab up a simple bracket to mount the WG in its stock location (hopefully haha)

Be a devil & get a 1.5 bar actuator ;-]
Cheers !

 

[brettu26]

haha, i just may do that, but was thinking the 1.2 will be sufficient, i want to hear the screamer pipe more often

i just know Matt is hoping I take the easy route and get a E3 comp cover and upgraded WG act, maybe even a 20G cover & wheel.

but do we what is the stocko WG one rated at though?

 

[Rockabilly]

PM'd
Cheers !

stock wg should be about the 9psi mark, or so it was on my car when it went on. sweet as turbo, but yes fitting to a 6 bolt motor is a pain with the engine mounting setup, they are designed more for evo/rvr fitment where they are mounted off the gearbox not the block. the standard intercooler setup is pretty much a reversed setup to a e4 or later, very good turbo if you can manage to get it fitted properly.

 

[brettu26]

I think I may have found a good angle of attack with the compressor outlet almost in a stock VR4 location with the WG only needing a small 5cm flat tab bracket and a slightly slightly twisted L-shape tab for the other mounting point.
Also found some 5mm steel at work to hold it strong!

fingers crossed - I will post up pics when I get into it
