Should make a tinny sound which is from air travelling through the pipe and inlet of the turbo. pretty normal. How ever, your compressor wheel had some stone chips from object sucked in I probabaly want to check it out and make sure its still within balance range.

That is how it sounds, a light tinny sound. I need to get the turbo back to you but I can't be without a car at the moment... Still need to fix up my intake pipe. Its been knocking since I changed it so this may indicate more flow.

Been busy working on one very one's jobs. This is a little update on a prototype which converts a standard bush bearing ATR43G3 FNT turbo on ceramic rollers. Took it for a thrash on 20psi its noticeably more responsive in lower gears and made power delivery even more linear. How ever I don't think thats enough to shown a difference on the dyno. Will post some results once tuned.

This is also a simpler, cheaper and more efficient roller setup then the earlier alfa prototypes without direct force feeding in bearing oil supply. There for it should be less sensitive to common oil contamination issues. If every thing works out well we will be building ceramic roller units without much additional cost.

Can you do this on high flows? by "without direct force feeding in bearing oil supply" do you mean it runs on grease or no longer require engine's oil supply?

He means it works the same as a normal turbo, rather than having oil feed directly going to the bearing itself.

Standard oil feed goes in the top of the turbo and sprays in to lubricate all.

Is there a % of duty that when you start to go over starts to affect performance?

depends on the injector, many cars actually run 100% factory like some hondas but nissan injectors hate it and can bounce and miss time @ over 96%... many aftermarket injectors actually play up at 100% duty as well... ie not deliver corectley... bouncing on seats etc.

If your running a high duty won't the injector be firing when the inlet valve is shut? Does this affect power or performance?

If you run a stock ECU or nistune it is batch fire anyway so no. But greater the duty yeah that is generally true, how much difference will it make? Probably sfa.

what kind of restriction would you expect if you used a 3" intake pipe on the new 4" atr43g3?

I've been told having the AFM sitting on front of the turbo would restrict around 5kws, Mine Made 318rwkws on 3inch pipe to air box with no lid, and 330rwkws on 4inch with pod. Minior differences, bigger's better.

I'm getting some 4inches intake pipes suitting stock bov and breather made with bend and nipples for the stock BOV and breather. Will post photos and prices when ready.

Crans: send it in when ever you are ready. I will thrash the ceramic roller and do some dyno runs making sure I can't blow it up before giving it out for testing.

Think about how fast things are happening. The airflow hardly stops.

Some observations about the SS1-PU installation:

(I was hoping it would be direct fit apart from the oil feed which is supplied but.....)

-Housings need to be clocked around a little to fit

-The oil drain doesnt reach, we need to run a longer rubber line to join the turbo end the motor end

-One of the stock water lines needs to be bent to fit - not a tiny bend but its doable

-The other water line (from the back of the head) is no where near fitting

This hard line meets a rubber hose around the back of the head which then joins a feed at the intake manifold.

To work around this problem we will run a longer rubber hose from the intake manifold and join it to the hard pipe further along, enough so that we can fit the line.

How long till there ready? If im sending the turbo back for upgrades id rather wait and go all out.

The SS1PUs needs abit more work on installation, check page 1, there is a DIY thread with video teaching installation of water lines at

Installation walk through

Water lines needs to be lose fitted before fixing turbo on to the exhaust manifold. The bracket holding it on the engine head must be removed. Other wise there it is lot harder to do.

I'm planing to take the ceramic roller for the next few comming track days and see how every thing holds up. Its need to provide better result then standard bush setup before I would want to sale them. Its going to be a while.

Thanks!

The stock lines ended up fitting with bending only and rather than using washers to space out the banjo it was machined down to the correct size.

New turbo just arrived... Good son of rajab blink.gif It's big lol. It's very hard to believe it will fit down low, I'm anticipating many a cuss word to be uttered sleep.gif

Where can I get a 4" to 3" silicon reducer from?

Just got the new G3, externally gated. Massive compared to my current turbo lol.

I found all the silicon joiners I'll need through Turbotech. Will get new gaskets and washers while I'm at it.

Its best to keep afm in cooler piping and run a 4inch intake with a large pod filter as I've found the 3inch makes about 15kws less.

I've added a installation tip for people whom's running internal gated ATR43 units in page 1: Remove the actuator and bracket pre turbo installation, which would leave plenty of room for tools. Then install the actautor assembly back on once the turbo installation is complete. Make sure the actuator is pre-loaded.

Also there seems to be abit of debate over the 11 long bladed vs 12 long n short bladed wheels. I've drawn and cut a 11 bladed version of the SS1PU's comp wheel using the same wheel hub.

The original SS1PU felt more responsive on road, I'm pretty keen to see what the dyno says next monday.

    • 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.
