How ever G3 build 2011 with FNT turbine setups has totally different driving ability and power delivery behavior compare to the earlier versions.

Also the new ATR43G3s maxed 330rwkws in comparison to 305rwkws to older models with lot better boost control ability as well as the ability to hold torque.

Compare to smaller turbos, The G3 has the ability to maintain G-force all the way through limiter on WOT in both low and high gears. It is a pretty good turbo to people whom's chasing strong mid range and high top end.

also noticed the Stegea is a full time 4 wheel drive (I've been told by lillcrash it is or isn't it?). If that is the case it means the engine would have greater load compare to rear wheel drive skylines, which a bigger rear housings would work better just like the turbos on S13 SR20dets and 4WD GTiR Pulsers.

Yer I posted a dyno graph earlier in the thread.

What page is it? Or can you post it again, I went back 4 or so pages and gave up.

The response is phenomenal though yeah? 0-100 street driving is fantastic. Boost is always there even if you in a gear too high. You can also have boost with partial throttle which is fantastic for roads with poor traction and accelerating through corners.

Its such a hard thing with a smallish 2.5L engine, once you go any bigger then you have now you will loose response. Do you have anyone in your area that can let you take their car for a quick drive? You will be able to gain more top end but you will loose low down, it all depends on your preference. If you drive it balls out all the time then yeah go a bigger turbo and keep it on the boil but if its a street car driven at sub 50% most of the time then I reckon stay as is.

anyway if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated. here is the dyno sheet. i dont know how to use my scanner so here is a photo.

Wow that boost is dropping straight away, something is restricting it. 230rwkw is a bit low for this turbo. Take a look at mine, we did a test before the intercooler as well, as you can see the intercooler was restricting mine. The difference gets towards 5psi as the revs increase. Even with those things sorted I couldnt break 250rwkw so your not that far off either. Its a small super responsive turbo.

And this is after the exhaust mods and the new intercooler, as you can see now I can hold over 17psi to redline (no boost controller). It doesnt make a tonne more power but def feels better. Also my boost is fairly flat up till about 5,500rpm where it drops quite a bit and then flattens out again. Yours is a linear drop straight from where it hits full boost! You can change the turbo to whatever you want but you will still have issues until you sort the issue/s out.

At 4,000rpm (~110km/h) yours is making 205rwhp and mine 214rwhp. 9rwhp difference

At 5,000rpm (~135km/h) yours is making 280rwhp and mine 295rwhp. 15rwhp

At 6,000rpm (~160km/h) yours is making 300rwhp and mine 320rwhp. 20rwhp

So you can see as the revs rise the restriction has more of an impact. But its not a massive difference either.

The power actually feels the same as it did stock, it just uses more fuel now. And it's really rough to drive.

Mayb I should just find a decent tuner, if it wasn't jerking and surging all the time I would be happy with 300hp. Like the way I see it now if I was to get it to peak at 16psi and not drop it would make the same power without the extra fuel when it peaks at 20psi.

The power actually feels the same as it did stock, it just uses more fuel now. And it's really rough to drive.

sounds like something is wrong, should be making bucket loads more torque, fuel economy shouldn't be any diff either, sounds like someone really butchered your tune, who did it?

Something sounds wrong there, mines silky smooth. What power were you making stock? Stock they are like 140-150rwkw. 230rwkw should feel like a big difference.

If you were only making ~150 like an unmodded skyline and bumped it up to 250 it would be close to double!

but yeah you should definitely feel that midrange punch compared to stock.

I can only really compare the before and after to cars I have previously raced as I didn't get a dyno before turbo blew apart. But yer it's deffinately not faster then before. I was running 13/14psi on the stock turbo.

Efi performance at yatala. On a side note I should have learnt my lesson when they charged me $100 when they couldn't get my front shaft out and I did it in 10 minutes without a jack.

The SS1 does feel like a standard turbo on 20psi if it was efficient and safe there.

What made you choose the SS1? Have you driven many small engine turbo jap cars before?

I chose it as I was after 250kw.

Before the stages I had a 1974 celica powered by a 3tgte. This is actually why I expected more from a 2.5turbo when I first got the stagea.

Any way, here are some footages sent in by Abe now upgraded with the FNT G3. Compare to this footages earlier, notice any differences? :rolleyes:

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
