Whats the big difference between the ss1PU and ss1.5PU?? They are both similarly rated on the website, which ones better for the street?

From results on Stao's car they both had similar response except the SS1.5PU goes on to make 15-20rwkw on less boost. So the answer to me is the SS1.5PU in every way. Pity I bought the SS1 before it came out lol.

SS1PU is the latest version. The Model 1.5xx is the older trailing version. If you are after a responsive 250~280rwkws the SS1PU is the one to get.

LOLZ how did you come up with that turbo?? That turbo would have full boost a fair bit over 5000rpm. Why not run a GT45 turbo on 0.2psi...

As birds said, you want something much much smaller. Either a highflow or an SS1.5PU would be my choices.

Sorry i'm not expert on turbos, I was under the impression RB25de + T come boost very fast due to high compression, coupled with E85, was thinking of something that is a bit laggier to avoid endless wheel spin in a gts-t. Didn't realise it would be that bad :S.

Sorry mate might have been a bit harsh. To avoid wheelspin then you actually want a smaller turbo like an SS1.5 which comes on really linear and smooth. I have 265 wide semi slick tyres and cant spin them with full throttle in 2nd gear (E85 and 280rwkw). Whereas I had a larger ATR43G3 turbo before and that made the same power ~280rwkw but that would wheelspin in 2nd because it was lag and then a sudden hit.

You do want to make sure you dont choke the engine with a tiny turbo/housing but the SS1.5 wont and you will only need very low boost to make 250rwkw.

Just checked the prices so all good. I'm going for the Ss1pu just for the reasponse + less strain on everything to pull a figure like 250rwkw

Thanks for the help now I just gotta start saving the coin

Hope so.. it's going in a 32 too ;).

I'm guessing I want a g4 in a .82 housing.

Profile G4 T3 .82 / 1.0: 600HP $1250

Mate I think you will happily make your desired results with a PU high flow AND on 98 ron. No need for a big fk off turbo and definitely do not need to hassle of E85.

98 you can fill it up anywhere you go, no need to worry. The PU highflow will also look almost exactly like a stock turbo and will be the closest thing to a true bolt on you can get. Its good for over 280kw i believe so you should get 250 on the DE without hassle.

Add E85 to that and your probably talking 300 but I wouldnt bother.

Yeah but the PU high flow has a lot more lag and when it hits is a lot more sudden then a SS1PU turbo. It does have the stock appearance from the front of the turbo but the street performance will be heaps better with an SS1PU. The PU high flow has a large 0.82 rear.

280rwkw sounds like a lot on 98 fuel with a high comp standard engine?? I would limit it to around 250-260rwkw on 98 fuel and then with E85 you have the extra protection from the high compression to push it further.

I hear you there, except this is my 3rd R32 (gts-t w/ RB25de + t; I have a gts-t and gts4 w/ RB26 already) and as such it's a bit of a project car. I really wanted to give E85 ago and most of the local service stations stock it. I don't really want to start off with high objectives being my first project car and it is still road registered. I want something that will be reliable on the track and keep my meagre skills challenged and I don't want the costs to be crazy high.. a little of everything. It is a choice between a high flow and a hypergear at this stage, but E85 is definite. It seems the dream combo of high comp, turbo and E85 is too hard to pass up for me :D. The power figure was really ball park i'd love to have the potential to easily push higher as I get time in the car.

That's the one I ordered in high flow form, yeah? How is my girl coming along?

You guys are confusing me a bit, I only knew of the SS1.5 (older version) and the SS1PU, the current version with billet wheel etc which is better.. But what the hell is the PU hiflow??? Is it rated the same as SS1PU?

OK, dont get confused..... Stao can highflow your turbo, its called a highflow...

Stao also does what he calls a PU highflow, which is pretty much the same as your regular highflow but stao puts a bigger rear housing on it.

The rear housing is similar to whats on the G3... But it will retain your stock front compressor housing. I believe it comfortably maxed out at 290 or so.

Ahh how nice it would be to start back at a stock skyline.. Simple highflow, cooler, zaust, tune. How nice it would be :rolleyes:

I think Ron may have gotten confused, because Birds said he was getting a SS1PU but then later he said hows my high flow going :D

I was slightly confused too

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
