What intercooler is that Harey?

Its a Trust Turnflow intercooler, although I bought it second hand so I dont know how old it is. It seems to be cooling quite well when you touch the end tanks, just seems to have a lot of pressure drop.

Hoping to replace it with a blitz return flow one day.

Awesome result.

Minor sacrifice of power off boost, then comes on song with standard turbo and doesn't let up from there. This is what the people want :)

as you can see my intercooler is quite restrictive and the gap in pressure increases with rpm. If I can get it to hold 18-19psi, I am sure I can get well into the 250's.

It has made street driving an absolute blast and it is 100% a street car.

I agree with Wolverine's observation, very similar sort of result vs the GT-RS. I went back and checked it against my old GT2871 48T high flow as well, and saw similar characteristics on the graph. That old setup only lagged behind the std setup to 2500rpm and made 225kW on 12psi. If this ATR43 SS1 offers similar transient throttle response characteristics, and this result at full load it's got to be the sort of setup a smart owner will choose. I like the look of it.

It does appear that pressure drop across the intercooler is costing some top end, but what sort of boost control is employed? An EBC may help to offset what's going on with the cooler, although turbine flow may also be part of the equation. What's the vibe from your tuner and Stao on these fronts? To be really honest it doesn't look to be want a higher peak power figure for other than bench racing. If it was able to hold peak torque from current 4700 through to 5700ish, it would have a really fat top end so you don't need to rev it hard. That would be good.

It's a street car, but also interested to know if it runs a quiet (legal)exhaust spec.

Awesome result.

This, inside a stock looking housing, is exactly what people want, or at least I want.

That, and the SS-2 Prototype which was a few pages back now which made 320rwkw with full boost at about ~3700, and you have pretty much got what 100% of all people want who arent doing massive internals work to their engine.

Oh yeah, inside the standard housing too :)

I'm not so sure it can be done with the standard housing...yet...Stao?

And if it can, it will most certainly be laggier or down on power up top.

Yep if it can be done inside a stock housing I would consider it as a replacement for my turbo should it ever die being as GCG really turned me off with their customer service.

It plots like a HKS GT-RS.

Here's SS-1 VS GTRS based on a 12 sec run as the GTRS was tuned on 12 secs ramp. We only did like 3/4 of a run as the AFM plug vibrated it self out and made a massive knock. Trent was abit scared to put it back on.

Thick red line is ss-1, thin red line and green line is GTRS

So the big question mister hypergear...can we get something like that^ put into the standard housings aka high flow?

Yes can be done. Just odd that I have to charge you $50 more for the alloy sleeve then a brand new SS-1.

Can we have a picture of a brandnew SS-1 next to a standard turbo housing? Curious how different it looks and if it would pass the EPA/Defect inspection.

It is just running off the actuator, but the boost pressure before the intercooler looks perfect flat ~21-20psi. The drop down to 20psi after 6,000rpm is even there on Tao's car. Thats just the turbo running out of puff. The issue is the intercooler pressure drop as you can see I can only get just over 15psi into the engine. The previous turbo had exactly the same behaviour, I could not get more than ~15psi into the engine no matter how much I cranked the boost up even with a large 0.82 housing! I tried EBC's and they did nothing. Trent my tuner said he reckons even if you unplugged the hose from the actuator you wouldnt get anymore boost up top (previous turbo).

I run a 3" fujitsubo catback exhaust which is very quiet, on my previous turbo it was restricting power ~5-8kw but to me its worth it so I dont get any unwanted police attention.

They share the exact same housing geometry, except the surge grove for stock comp wheel needs to go (high lighted). To use that as the SS comp housing the whole inlet part of the stock comp housing has to be machined out and resleeved to have a flat bore.

Just comparing mine to Hareys for a minute and its amazing how different yet the same they are

heres mine

I dont have a graph but I had much the same boost pressures as well. My cooler is also pretty crappy but at the manifold I had 18psi dropping of to 15psi.

be interesting to see them side by side at the lights ;)

fantastic result Geoff!!! things have definitely improved from the guinea pig days when i ran some of the HG proto's - i made a touch more with my 98 tune, but full boost was a good 500rpm later from memory

this is the turbo for the street guys, well done Stao!

Stao what sort of results would you expect from your SS-1 at 14psi, and can you build a 'smaller' turbo into a T3 housing?

Perhaps 2871 52t spec into your .64 housing with 3 nozzle FNT tech + your .60 3" comp cover, do able?

the SS-1 should make just under 240rwkws on 14psi. I can only run a single nozzle in those as the turbine housing doesn't have enough room to run more. I believe the SS-1 is the perfect combination for 250rwkws applications. Smaller profiles is do able, but lack in peek power and torque but doesn't make any differences in response just like the GTRS comparison above. I'm pretty happy with the way its currently set.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
