ive just checked my car and i just have that little white pipe hanging out with no rubber hose on. my aircon works fine and dont get any water leaking into the cabin?

You had that split dump/screamer installed didn't you? They probably took it off then, though it wouldn't have been anywhere near fouling...

Yea i was thinking that, they must have taken the hose off for whatever reason.. Well maybe thats cleared things up a bit, the hose isnt really necessary.. for some? I dont know why people are getting water on their feet and im not.

Another SS2 owner. Keen to see how your unit performs! I SHOULD TECHNICALLY have everything up to scratch to now be making 280rwkw+. Just need the tune part.

At moment there are 3x SS2 evaluation units ever made. One's with you, the other went to an auto and another one went to kwickr33. I'm looking to make changes to it as for a fun turbo its not as fun a ss1pu, use as a serious tracking turbo then it don't have that much of G force as the G3 up top.

During Xmas period I will spend more time re-design it, still for 300rwkws while having G3 alike uptop torque with current response.

Also I've made couple of simple mechanical actuator setups that can bolton to the current wastegate arm, the goal is to hold ss1pu at 20psi flat, that will push more power in up upper band. Any ss1pu users in Melbourne are welcome to pm for a trailing sample.

im hoping to go ss2 in feb once the headwork on my engine is done. also keen to see what mods you come up with this. of course if its better i will be all over it

i can vouch for the G3 being a fun turbo haha.. my torque curve is pretty much a flat line from 4500 too 7300 cuttoff, it doesnt let up at all.. im thinking of upping the rev limiter, the thing just wants more revs!

Very happy with the turbo, sounds great and when it comes onto boost.. wow! lol and still so drivable when not trying to go fast.. dont know what all the fuss about lag is about tbh..

Well I don't get full boost until 5000rpm. So I have about 1000rpm of 'usable' power on the street. It is good fun, and I do track my car so I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs out there, but I wouldn't recommend this turbo to anyone for the street.

Can you post your dyno sheet, or point me in the direction to where it is already posted? The way you have described your torque curve sounds impossible to me...

yeah i get full boost 17psi according to my guage at about 4300rpm?

How come only 1000rpm of usale power if it comes on at 5k? does it drop off in the top end? Whats your limiter set at? Hmm man i dont know, my turbo seems fine for the street, easy to drive around normally and in say 3rd gear at 3krpm at WOT while its not hitting full boost, its still faster that the stock turbo that ive come from.

Nah i dont have it on me its at home, but hits 400nm at 4500 and from memory is at about 380nm at cutoff.. My tuner was really impressed. As i said it feels like it needs more revs.. 8Krpm on a stock RB25?

I have the G3 as well and has been pretty damn laggy but most of that is to do with the 7psi actuator on it until the tune gets done.

Even with the lag running only 7psi and my quick road tune it it still manages to pass my friends tune r33 still with the stock turbo.

I mainly went the G3 as I am building a 3L in my spare time.

Oh and the way I see it the extra lag over the smaller turbo's just makes me less likely to thrash it all the time.

Because I don't take my car all the way to redline every time I drive. Take it to 6000rpm in second and I'm pretty much breaking all my local speed limits. I don't even get onto full boost in 3rd before I'm breaking every speed limit in Australia. Hence that powerband up top is not really usable. But it should be fun on the track, will have to see how quickly I can get it on song coming out of corners.

And ok that's reasonable, I took your flat line statement a bit more literally haha. I'm making 450nm at 5000rpm, falling to about 400-390 by redline.

I had a look through into your dyno reading which appears its missing a big chunk of power band down low, the black line represent the missing figures. You've mentioned the tuner experienced some ECU faults, not sure if that is why he made it retarded. Would be a good idea to find out the cause. I've posted the ecu file for it, he can use for reference. It would be totally different to drive once every thing runs properly, also was the VCT enabled in your car?

Slowskyline would you have a reading from your current tune? or have a look at the tune on my test car. I'm pretty sure its about the same.

18/02/12:

Above run was found to have VCT disabled.

I had the G3 and I also thought it was too laggy on a RB25 for the street. Mine made full boost in 4th gear around 4500rpm. So that means full boost is even later in earlier gears. I think my setup was about 200rpm less responsive than Tao's car with the same turbo.

I am confused by your lack of enthusiasm in the SS2 Tao, one of them made over 300rwkw on 98 fuel with full boost by 3800rpm!!! That is a fantastic result!!

Then the SS3 made 326rwkw with full boost at 4000pm.

To me I dont know why people still choose the G series of turbos, especially not for a street car.

You only had an retired version of PU high flow. the current FNT version has different drivability and power delivery on a Rb25det. When have time come pass again with your bicycle (I can't believe this guy raid from Williamstown all the way to Campbellfield on a bicycle lol), Take my car for a quick spin and have a feel in the difference.

But even compare to your old result, Halando's car is still off 30kws mid rang and Trent only dynoed your car on 9 secs. Some thing is not quite right with it.

The only thing I'm not too happy with the current SS2 is abit lack of top end torque. it cannot catch up to a G3 once in 3rd gear. I will do bit more research into it and make the torque expand more into the high rev range.

Hahaha its a funny site an R34 2 door with tow bar and bicycle rack :)

(sideways as it overtakes you hehe)

my thoughts exactly :thumbsup:

mine also has also ported head and mani, and poncams on the way. plus was going to run SimonR32's "Jew Juice" E42.5 so should be heaps of fun once its broken in :cheers:

Thanks heaps Trev! I have a lot better understanding now with those pics.

Is the material around the white hose soft sponge? Would it stop water?

i didnt really check it. but hose is still off so can look tonight. i guess it could stay off and just seal it up around the white hose with something

Aftermarket cams and E85 would make a big difference on torque and power up top. If that is then plan then you will be super happy with the current SS2. :D

    • 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.
    • 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"
