I just wish all these turbos would do a run down the 1/4 mile before being pulled out again..

All these paper only results but no times is getting tedious and boring...

I do 0 - 100 in very low 5's with low boost, no launch, granny start(slow take off then floor it). I can probably get into very low 4's with high boost and a launch. Probably wont ever take my car to the track. Hypergear, though, is more like Garret. They develop and test turbos. Its too expensive and time consuming to have to take every turbo you build down to the tracks, get a run etc. Take it to a tuner, get the turbo fitted, dyno'd, street ran, then off it comes for a new one. Wait for customers to give the feedback on lap and track times.

Have a feel under where the rail bolts on. Or use a little mirror to see if the black spacer is there.

Wolverine, hahaha, took 3 of us to find that little sucker, that was an injector o ring. I swear it was sucking the blood out of my leg and then just dropped off under the car after we had been searching for a few minutes

Mine didn't have spacers???

Just checked my rail, no spacers there! Looks like it was bolted right down too f**king dodgy shit. Should I remove the bolt and fit the spacers? Or just leave it. Wow I pay these guys so much for a half ass job.

Ok I run a older model designed for 240rwkw. This has quite bad heat issues on my track car runs 18.5 then spirals down to 11 and only makes 214 comes on hard bye about 5 u can feel power dying off. After acouple hard laps it comes down on power quite a bit and housing gets that lovely colour . Looking to upgrade either a better jfk or kando.

You'll never know what you want becvause Stao will just keep making better and better turbos.

Mine is quite out of date now even with the FNT upgrade.

Just pick one and run with it :)

when the time comes i will pounce on the best thing available but im still finishing my build. by the time im ready Stao will prob have another 6 models :thumbsup:

Too many variables to be worth while, all it will confirm is the hp via trap times.

This.

400m time doesn't necessarily show how a turbo performs, like Rolls said - too many variables. For all you know the car could be running anitlag and flat shifting through gears, which would give a VERY skewed result

Ok, Lets talk about heat:

Turbo mentioned above was an old Rb25det 21U high flow unit. The heat issue is related to the size of the factory rear housing. There is very little can be done to it unless using a .82 PU rear housing. You can track that all day without losing power or torque.

How ever high flowing a turbo is very different to building a brand new turbo there are certain behaviors that can not be changed unless the part gets remade. PU option is available depending on the purpose of high flowing.

21U and OP6 high flow options has been updated in Jun 09 and Jan 11. The later profiles produces more power with better response.

I’m quite skeptical about heat. One thing that I dyno trail is going through consecutive dyno runs. All the new turbos came up with very close No.s on all runs. Like the SS1PU, SS2 and G3 all came up within 5kws difference out of 10 runs, and none of them had colour change by the end of the trail.

There are certain prototypes which do gets hot after few runs, turbine housing colour changes, and we had to keep on taking out timing to stop it detonate. They were used getting behavioral data of the combination and a starting point of on a newer turbo. Those prototypes are not sold to the public.

Other thing I've mentioned earlier that I will mention again is the intake and exhaust restrictions. Heat will be generated when the turbo has trouble sucking or dispatching air. When this happens turbine shaft speeds down trapping hot air inside combustion chamber. Having a free flow setup is critical to any high performance setup.

Also we can make any SS series with dual gate setup on request. External gate provides very stayable boost control as well as keeping the EGT low.

Run Ext gate on tracks and int gate on road.

Ok in saying this I'm in no way fussing the turbo I'm happy with it but I have done everything to remove restrictions exaust and intake the only major thing was the 7 psi boost drop

I have heat issues with my stock turbo, this is the main reason I am upgrading. I ordered an SS1PU and Stao mentioned that this model runs cool, will deliver consistent power and is one of the best models in terms of not overheating.

I will definitely be testing this out once fitted since I use the car for track/twisties use where its important that the intake temps stay safe and the turbo doesnt get too hot.

I actually think it would flow fine, the entry of the turbo is angled anyway, on the graph you could see it held boost perfectly, other turbos with this setup hold fine as well.. so there is no benefit changing it

Ok reading my post back to myself , to call it boring was wrong and a misrepresentation of your work as this is obviously one of the most interesting tech threads here so I apologize for that..

But are you guys trying to tell me it wouldnt be interesting if once a month he took the car down for a couple of quik runs..Because I was always under the impression that power on a dyno isnt always the best representation of how fast a car can be on the road..sure there are variables but if the car was driven, maybe with some incar footage even, by the same person AKA ' The Stig ' in the same manor the only real variable would be the weather..

anyway I just think it would be cool to see :D

Yes ARTZ, i've mentioned this numerous times in this thread but noone was able to put down 1/4 mile times to show how really awesome these turbos are, which is a shame really. just seems like all the ppl who get these turbos just want a decent power figure and dyno print out to post up.

Here's one doing 10.7 secs in a 1JZ.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
