This is the DIY guide for people who’s installing a SS-1 with stock comp housing. Its harder to install compare to a High flow or other ATR43 series, but nothing special. It was done at friend's workshop whom is an experienced and licensed mechanic. We started at 9PM and finished at 12.20AM.

This turbo comes with:

1x Braided oil feeding line with 2x fittings, and oil drain adaptor.

You need to get:

4x M18 fat brass washers 2mms thick each.

1x M10 brass Washer 1mm thick

1x M12 brass washer 1mm thick

1x 20mm hard oil resistant hose in 30cms long

1x oil drain adaptor gasket or gasket paper cut in shape

If you are using the SS-1's original comp housing that has 3in inlet and 2 inches out lets you will need to make a hard intake pipe and a 2 to 2.5 inches silicon hose. Please refer to post:

This is what it looks like with factory turbo removed:

factory oil lines and fittings must be removed:

M12x1.25 Speed flow fitting supplied goes onto the block with the 12mm brass washer, the bracket holding chassis side water line must be released:

Connect the straight hose tail of the braided oil feeding line supplied to the engine block oil fitting.

Here comes the hard bit: Fitting factory water lines. The trick is to screw in the factory M18x1.5 banjo bolt into the engine side water fitting port of the turbo without securing it on to the exhaust manifold. Fit the turbo onto the manifold studs with the water line attached.

Loosely secure the turbo with about 10mms of play on the manifold.

Connect the chassis side water fitting by forcing the metal line 10mms downwards and 10mms forward toward.

You must get a perpendicular angle for the fittings to go in. This is probably the hardest part. Once the fittings goes in, check to make sure it clears the drain port area, secure the turbo to manifolds studs, and secure water lines. It took 12 mints for my mechanic to secure both lines, uncut footage is at:

Once water lines are secured, connect oil feeding line to the turbo (10mm brass washer is required in between the adaptor and turbo).

This is generic aftermarket drain pipe:

Fit the hard oil resistant hose on and extremely important make sure it does not bend or kink.

Or you can modify factory hard drain pipe to suit like what I did:

Connect dump pipe and install stock heat shield.

Connect all pipings, start the car and check/repair any leak, and job is now complete.

Driving on 7psi with the new turbo running stock ECU, the car pulls lot hard under throttle (1/4, 1/2 or full). I'm currently waiting for a set of 740cc injectors to come in from US. Will have it tuned shortly.

Where you still looking at fitting the nozzles to the PU hi-flow exhaust housing and re-testing?

cheers

Yes I'm waiting to get my other R33 back on road. Currently doing another engine rebuild due to previous mechanic's fk up. But FNT turbine have worked pretty well. Check previous reply regarding to FNT.

Refer to dynosheet earlier the peak power of 265rwkws at 6500RPM was at 18psi. Assume I can hold 18psi across all rev ranges I should still get around the 265rwkws mark. How ever I won't be able to run 24psi at mid range using this motor so should end up with similar peak power with slight less mid range.

Very helpful ..

Though I have not bought my hybrid off you, I was struggling with mounting the lines myself.

I like the video, especially since I can see that it is a bit of a struggle even for you.

I've bought a high flowed turbo off them last year I never run into that much of trouble installing them, mine water fittings were all within 10mms of reach. This ss1 turbo appear to have a very different center core then mine, this video or illustration doesn't seems to apply to their high flows.

Hello ..

I think the high-flowed simply keep the centre housing?

?

I bought my Hybrid here in the UK, and the centre is a Garrett T3

Stao uses garret cores from my understanding

We used to. Since every one are looking for a big mark up in boost and power with high flows, Components that are working with limited sized housings will have to stand greater amount heat and pressure.

There are constraints in Garrett parts, I consider they are best working with their own housings.

We are making our own bits and pieces since early 10 that I considered them been more “beefed up”. We've also engineered couple of customized wheels for better flow in restrictive housings. You can see how ours high flows and custom turbos making more and more No.s with better response and driving ability as our development progress.

and yes, we normally generic T3 water cooled bearing housings for high flowing, they are very similar in size and position to stock R33 bearing housings. Lot easier to fit water lines with.

Update 30/06/11:

Finally got my test car's back together assembled, still got a small oil leak from the crank seal which will be changed. Took for a drive it’s going very strong. Currently got a KAI OP6 high flow on it will be getting that tuned for a proper reading once run in is complete.

This is from the member whom bought my SS-2 prototype. It made 240rwkws at 11psi on a low pressure actuator. Pretty good power for the boost? :turned: Car's had some miss firing issues to sort so that’s all it can do with out triggering the issue.

For a bit of fun side of turbo building this is a customized ATR43SS-1 made for an external gate setup with a 4 inches inlet and 2 inches out let.

It runs 3inche Vband adaptor in the back:

Happy with our welding work :laugh: ?

Stao are you getting that new skyline tuned? I'll be very interested to see results of that from a untouched engine.

Add:

Also are you making any thing in between the SS1 and SS2? any chance of making 270~300rwkws mark with 2530's response?

Thats my dyno above :) The car was even misfiring at 2500 on only 6psi. We sorted it out by fixing the spark plug gap. Now the fuel pump has failed and was failing during the tune and the car is undriveable :( The tuner was impressed with the power it made on that boost. We initially had a high boost actuator and he was worried about this as it was making full boost, it hit 19psi, by about 3500rpm and said that there is no way he can recommend that all day every day so we opted for the lower actuator with good results. He reckons with a 10 - 12psi actuator he could make 250rwkw on 12psi and about 265 - 270rwkw on 15psi and more on higher boost. Very happy with this turbo. Just pissed off I cant do anything with the car due to the fuel pump. Its leaning out which is obviously a fuel related issue. Hopefully the new fuel pump sorts out this issue.

If the fuel pump fixes my issues, I will post back after we touch up the tune.

Sarge, am happy the push to HG has worked out so well for you.

Can you clarify what turbo it was again?

The ss2 turbo on page 74. Stao made huge power, 320rwkw with the same turbo but my tuner wasn't comfortable with a standard block taking that much pressure. This is an awesome turbo. Some people like a turbo that just comes on, this turbo is very linear. It literally feels like it is pulling harder and harder to red line. Can't wait to start driving it again.

What's wrong with 19psi at 3.5k?

Peter said he had been working with this motors since they first came out and thinks its really dumb when people put that much boost on the motor considering the compression ratio. He said ok if you are aware its not going to last but I said I need the car to last me a fair while. his suggestion is run about 12 psi low and run 17 to 19 high. He said what is the pint of cruising on the freeway then overtaking someone with such a high amount of boost.. It is logical and with good reason.

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
