FR450

Great turbo, works as advertised, holds boost right until redline. Perfect turbo setup for a daily driver; I have not lost much low end from the IS20, and the turbo pulls hard from 3500 right until redline. This is not a turbo that will shatter 60-130 records; to me it is the perfect balance of what is needed for a fast, reliable daily driver.

FR450 Review

At first I was a little skeptical as I was positive the FR450 would not reach 450 WHP. However after getting the car pro tuned by 5150 and running on full Ethanoo I was able to reach 420 WHP on a dyno jet and any more would really get me into some trouble. The car pulls very hard all the way to 7k and I’m very happy with the purchase, glad I didn’t go bigger!

Undeniable Performance

HPA FR450 IS38 HYBRID TURBO

The HPA IS38 Hybrid Turbo features a custom compressor and turbine wheel design capable of holding up to 450HP* with a flat torque curve from 3800 RPM to redline! Our turbo is a natural upgrade to IS38, IS20, and even IS12 equipped cars where the OEM units lose breath mid-way in the RPM range. Coupled with a major redesign of the OEM bearing housing, the HPA IS38 Hybrid turbo is the perfect upgrade for those looking for a significant performance boost with improved long-term reliability.

Features

Unrivaled Reliability

The IHI IS series turbos have been known to restrict oil flow under sporty driving conditions which can cause premature failure of the bearings resulting in broken turbine shafts. This can lead to catastrophic engine failures due to oil and debris being pushed out into the exhaust system and igniting. The HPA FR450 IS38 Hybrid is an insurance against these types of failures.

PRECISION ENGINEERED

HPA has spent 4 years of research and development to completely rethink the bearing housing design. Each turbo requires precision CNC machining of the intake and exhaust housings and include an HPA proprietary mixed-flow turbine wheel, and CNC machined billet compressor wheel. All components are completely upgraded to ensure lubrication for both reliability and peace-of-mind.

OEM QUALITY

Each CHRA is built to meet or exceed the OEM quality specifications, with the individual components of the rotating group balanced on a Schenk Balancer. Once fully assembled, each complete CHRA assembly is balanced with a VSR Balancer ensuring a perfect assembly.

DIRECT BOLT-ON REPLACEMENT

The HPA IS38 Hybrid turbo upgrade has everything you will need for a simple and quick installation including turbo inlet pipe, and silicone hose to adapt to the factory airbox. An OEM diverter valve and OEM pre-calibrated wastegate actuator is also available should you require.
