  1. what you got there bud?

    Its a holset turbo and a tail 44mm wastegate,Not sure if i linked the album correctly can u see it? looks like its going to be a while till i can put it all in, noticed a knock in my engine last week sounds like rod knock fml

  2. Review Hypergear SS2-M35

    If you are not willing to run E85, aftermarket ECU, upgraded FMIC, big exhaust(from dump back), big intake pipe(3"), big injectors, kitted transmission, big fuel pump, no cat convertor, modded BOV: ==>DO NOT RUN THIS TURBO<==

    Without "all" of the above mods the car is an absolute pig to drive below 4000rpm and part throttle. Even with the above mods this turbo will not make 20psi by 3700 as advertised(that was on an Rb25 with different housings and is misleading advertising)...however it will with all mods start to make "some" boost below 4000rpm which makes it bearable in everyday traffic. Is the trade off worth it for the power output ?...no not at all, the problem is package constraints so we are very limited by choice if we want an easier fitment. The only place this turbo would be faster than the smaller high flow is acceleration from 50km/h or higher. A Garrett 3071 or Borg Warner 6258 or 6758 are much better options for average power "if" you are willing to make them fit. I was told on purchase that the SS2-M35 would be reasonably responsive then to be told on delivery it's response would equal a 3076 .82 with the power of close to a 3071 .6 which I would agree with.
