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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
