I cannot comment on how the voltage drop may affect the tune however it will not shut the car down. If your skyline is affected by your brake lights then there is something wrong. What happens when you put your headlights on, ac on and rear demister???

My patrol has the same size alternator and the winch pulls around 400amps and in much longer events......Normally 3-4 mins X 4 - 5 times depending on the situation without a problem at all. Yes the battery is bigger than your average skyline but not by a great deal.

^^^It pulls 300 amps

Gah, so it is.

Maybe a couple of truck alternators might do the trick then? :)

Either way, perhaps sell them as a package along with some significantly up rated generation in the from of a massive or second alternator and bigger battery? Sure, it'll add significant cost, but it'll also be done properly.

I wonder if I could fit one on my R1?

Not a Skyline but anyway.

Just get a slight dip in voltage until the alternater picks up the slack (yes my battery is old and should be replaced but im lazy)

Is your patrol a Diesel?

Not a Skyline but anyway.

No it's not a magical Skyline that somehow is different from any other vehicle on the road. No it's not a diesel. It's fuel injected and has a very similar ECU and the same sensors to an R32.

A lot of the race patrols (fuel injected turbo petrols) run 12HP winches without any trouble.

Anyway, i'm not saying this electric turbo will work but there are a lot of ppl on here with no experience on the matter that keep commenting on why it wont work electrically.

Running a winch with the engine idling is a bit different to trying to run a highly strung enging at WOT, when the electical power fall through the floor and causes a massive lean out and pops the motor.

Dont get me wrong I like this idea, would be great for drag cars trying to build boost agaisnt a transbrake, but I forsee the need for a 2nd electrcal system dedicated to running just the electric blower

I never run the winch while idling!! I'm always powering out of the bog hole or trying to get up a hill. I did give an example of the race guys running turbo charged Nissan motors and they are WOT.

Anyway it doesn't matter, time will tell.

Lol I believe Zebra was correcting you when you said he had a Skyline, he wasn't implying that your Patrol is irrelevant to other cars.

I have to agree with Zebra for now. It's definitely an interesting idea and I like the time and effort that Stao is putting into it, but I don't see how it can be done in a bolt on package, it's just too much for the stock electrical set-up in a Skyline. That said, it may be possible to sort something out without sending the costs through the roof. Looking forward to more testing, always enjoyed these sorts of projects :D

I predict:

To run it, it requires 2x good batteries connected in parallel. The E turbo connects to the back up battery, not the one connected to the car. It also need to have a capacitor or I was thinking starter motor solenoids so it won't have shock effects when activated.

So the alternator charges both batteries when car's running. But if it's been used so often then the back up battery needs to be charged over night.

Also depending on how good the battery is. Like the Optima did 49 more runs then the "no name" battery.

Connecting the motor to the second battery in a parralel system is... Connecting it in parralel to both.

I have some faith in this setup, as long as the compressor is engeered against the motor (rpm/force) I think it will give a really good result.

Stao you should try to market this as a compound setup. Strap a small turbo to its outlet and have it recompress the compressed air. As long as you can drive the 1200hp compressor fast enough you will have a balistic outcome.

With a ballistic price to match confused.gif Compound setup with an electric turbocharger sounds like a hell of a lot of custom work, not to mention the initial purchase price. also, would not having a turbo strapped to the outlet of this turbo just be a restriction in the intake? Why compress the same air twice, when the point of the E-turbo is to have it work like a supercharge while even a smaller turbo would not be spooling yet?

Agree with the second battery though, running them parallel will just mean it is running off both batteries, so it would still put huge load on the whole system. It would probably be better to stick with one battery and use a higher amp alternator. Or run two completely separate systems, two batteries, two alternators, etc. unsure what sort of load this would put on the engine though, not too mention weight gains and the high cost of having to implement such a system.

How is it complex?

The E turbo would be mounted in the passenger wheel well, the inlet to the E turbo will have the airfilter attached and the outlet will go to the inlet of the ACTUAL turbo.

The rest of the system will work as normal. An incomplicated compound turbo setup.

That would probably work incredibly well with a G2 setup, I believe the G2 will allow more exhaust flow than an SS? It will need twin wastegate.

You could also do a reverse compound setup that doesnt need to spin all the way to redline and aids only in spool. With a bearing cartridge and a clutch setup so that the suction of your primary turbo can keep it spinning up top.

Could you power it from an isolated electrical system, eg a battery that is also hooked up to the alternator but with some huge ass diodes so that the e-charger only draws from the one battery yet the alternator can charge both?

The issue is, do such large current rated diodes exist?

Actually look at the systems 4WDs use for their dual battery systems with winches etc.

They are just run in parallel to double the available current.

Dual battery systems are (generally used) for running accessories at night (when ignition is off) leaving one battery fully charged for starting the next morning. The smart systems will always charge the main battery first and then start charging the second battery when the correct voltage is reached. Could be made to work for this system.

My 33 has the battery in the boot and i'm able to run a massive battery which could easily cope with 300 amps. When i bought it, it had some piss weak battery that would struggle to start a motorbike!

the alternator can be reconnected internally to Delta. this bumps up output but chrging is decreased at low RPM.

i did this to my old 85 amp commodore alternator.

idle=12v 900rpm =13v, 1000rpm= 14v however it produced about 180amps.

if the system is set up with 2 batteries then they could be joined with a solenoid which could disengage when the motor are turned on. this will be better for the car as voltage wont be affected but these motors would lose some power as the 2nd battery voltage will drop fast as its not being charged, but can recharge when the solenoid kicks back in.

sounds interesting either way

So has anyone got their SS1PU fully tuned with dyno results yet?

I got mine in the mail yesterday, should be fitting it this week.

Mine pulled one run of 262rwkws on 17psi before coil pack failure. Drove home like a wrx. Car felt excellent before this happening. Getting some splitfires to finish off the tune.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • 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:) Comparison of the 2: 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.
