The SS1 has full boost ~3200rpm so boost and power is always there when you need it, but yes in the higher gears you will loose the rush. I am using E85 so its still quite good up top, but an SS2 would kill it up top.

My SS1 only has full boost at 4100/4200. Mayb 3700 in 5th.

Yeah kinda makes for a boring car. Before someone flames me, no boost leaks, different cooler was tested, pod filter was tried. Still only makes 21 psi for a split second occasionally, more often maxes out at 16/17psi

Of course there are other options Harey, and HG has proven time and time again to be better value than most turbos out there. I do think 2835 is the shizzle, because I have had it running in the car for a whole of 5 days so im like a kid in a candy store at the moment.

But i will be the first to admit that it comes with a hefty price tag.

Can we all just have a big cuddle now and make up. :blush:

Wow something is majorly wrong there. No wonder your not impressed, heaps of lag and only 230rwkw up top. I know you dont want to hear it but there is a 99% chance its something to do with your setup and not the turbo.

So have you been in an SS2 to compare?

Nah no chance a HKS 2835 Pro S is 3200rpm full boost. The best I have seen is 3500rpm.

My SS1 makes full boost by 3200rpm and makes 280rwkw on E85 :) The 2835 Pro S was going to cost me a packet to get setup, this cost me bugger all, has standard turbo response and as you said plenty of power for the street, I love it.

Pretty hard to argue with the overall value of a hypergear turbo.

Not to mention one of the key results on this forum of the 2835 Pro S is using a dyno with a friendly correction factor as shown by my tuner. Which I think is just so wrong, I dont care if you are big noting yourself but your impacting other people and what they spend their hard earned on.

Harey are u reffering to Dave's result on the mainline dyno i use?

I like Hypergear turbo's, i have installed an ss1.5 on a customers car with a 3inch metal intake, then tuned it on the same dyno as i did Dave's.

The car made 259kw which is down a bit on what it made on Tao's car, but it drives great and sounds awesome.

The power was a little inconsistent but i am putting in a new clutch tonight which may have been an issue.

I hve been in Sarge RX8's car after i tuned it to 244kw and it was fairly responsive an pulled hard.

Dave's car with 2835 does reach full boost at 3200rpm and fry's the semi slicks on high boost, Sarge's car doesnt break traction as easily.

I can keep comparing all day but Hypergear is a great turbo with a perfectly matched price tag

I have seen numerous dynos with the 2835 Pro S making full boost ~3500rpm. I didnt think 3200rpm was possible, was that with a 9 second or 12 second ramp rate?

Pretty unfair to compare Sarge's car running 11psi to a 2835 Pro S running high boost.

The SS1.5 is a fairer comparison, how does that compare?

What are u tripping on. Sarge's car was 19psi. The ss1.5 was 19psi. In going to pick it up now to do a clutch upgrade tonight. Ill let u know how it goes

We tune ramp rate depending on hp of the car. Mostly 12sec or 11sec but sonetimes we try 13 just to see the difference. Very minimal.

I have never tuned on a 9 sec ramp rate. Just not needed

I'm happy to check anything so fire away your ideas, just another note after 5 mins of hard driving it looses power horribly.

This is a thread specific to comparing turbochargers. If we dont care what the turbos do then whats the point of this thread!

Big difference between 260 and 300rwkw!

Full boost still does give you an idea of what the turbo is doing. To me the dyno result at 4000rpm is not the main key factor to a fun car on the street. You can have 200rwkw at 4000rpm but when you go to change lanes or accelerate from low speeds, waiting till 4000rpm to get going is too late imo. It still is a factor, but whats happening at 3000rpm and 3500rpm are very important too.

Thats exactly what Im saying, - IMO I think I will be picking the turbo that makes at least 80rwkw@3000rpm and 200rwkw@4000rpm. What happens below 3000rpms is not much important as its off boost anyway till like 2500 most of us see +ve boost? And yeah 280-300rwkw up top - 250-260rwkw is not much chop up from my current 187rwkw IMO as I havent been in one..:nyaanyaa:

That car made about exact same result to what I was making based on the same boost level, this prototype SS1PU did required lots of boost, I think I was peaking about 25psi for that to make 279rwkws. The current release only require 20psi to make the same sort of power. The SS1PU would be skiting every where.

Sarge need to fix up his intake pipe, once all sorted that should be pretty awsome, how ever I don't find SS2 break traction eaily either, even when I had it on 320rwkws. the power might be too linear for it to do so.

As for a fun street car the SS1PU is a really good turbo to go for.

What are u tripping on. Sarge's car was 19psi. The ss1.5 was 19psi. In going to pick it up now to do a clutch upgrade tonight. Ill let u know how it goes

Right so kwickr33 makes 307rwkw with the SS2 and Sarge makes 244rwkw. What I am saying is Sarges setup is not doing the SS2 justice. Didnt sarge make like the same power on only 11psi?

In this very thread it is shown that the different ramp rate shifts the response around. Longer the ramp rate the better the response.

Just got back from doing clutch on Dynafit's SS1.5, this is the longest i have driven his car, 15km each way,

it builds boost very qquickly and very nicely from around 2800RPM and transient throttle and cruising around it is very responsive, but with WOT the boost builds at 2900 and is at full 21psi at around 3800RPM, this test was in 2nd and 3rd gear, in 4th it build quicker obviously,

this car has only the basics, 3inch exh, cooler, injectors, Z32 AFM and power FC, im sure with adj cam gear we could gain response,

As Tao said this is close to on par with his own results,

Sarge's car made 244kw at ADVAN performance on 11psi, then 1st run on our dyno it barely made over 200 from memory, after we had tuned it it made 244kw on 19psi, there is something holding this car back, according to Tao the intake pipe on this car is a 60kw restriction, Sarge is in the process of making a new intake pipe but has run into major issue's since doing so, looks like his car will need a full retune due to the different position of the AFM.

Harey what makes you say the dyno i use is a happy dyno? that is actually quite funny cause if it was a happy dyno than everycar i have tuned would be making unrealistic numbers which they don't. even funnier that before we started tuning Dave's car there was a comment made about atleast 1 person on SAU saying i bet its a happy dyno.

So back on topic, Tao how's things going

    • 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.
