We are talking about the bellmouth JJR dump pipe, not the split type. My bellmouth JJR dump pipe did the same thing. It only lets a bit of water on to the passengers feet when the a/c is running.

Splits can be shit and ill-fitting with the standard turbo let alone a rear one. Plenty of stories of wastegates getting jammed shut...happened to me and destroyed my actuator :(

Edit: just realised you're talking about external difference...in which case, the split is more intrusive thanks to the extra pipe, where as bellmouths do curve straight off at nearly 90 degrees / go straight down.

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.

Finally got the hobby turbo tuned today. made 302rwkws just touching 20psi internally gated on pump 98 fuel. Referring to dyno reading it made about 200rpms of difference in response, I'm pretty happy with its out come.

Thats a nice graph Stao, but I dont understand, - what is the difference between the new G3 and the SS2, both have almost identical response and peak power approx 300rwkws???

The G3 is a larger frame turbo, bigger wheels and bigger housings... So it is naturally laggier or lazier to drive.

Stao is implementing new technology to the G3 to improve its response, this is a good idea as the G3 is the most proven of all his products and has the least constraints in terms of outright flow or housing restrictions.

I like neck snapping wheel spin.

Nice result Tao

Hahaha yeah but you're a drifter :P

For a street car just spinning your wheels at the wrong time can mean confiscation of your car for a month I think it is now.

Hey guys

I'm working on a 250kw RB25 setup

Tossing up between the ss1pu or the ss1.5

It's going to be a street car and I want something that pushes you back in your seat and makes you hold on

Makes power early and can hold 250

Read the charts with the differences between the 2 and saw the 1.5 made better numbers on lower boost so I guess this would be the way to go?

What's the difference in the 2 other then the $250 price difference?

Well I enjoy design and building some complicated turbos or forced induction parts. This turbo its a hobby thing, the importance is making a difference, and it is very difficult to make possitive differences, pretty happy with the out come, So this technology is available in building SS2 or SS1PU turbos when needed.

The SS1PU is a better turbo then the SS1.5, which I will remove that off the listing.

Are the ceramic rollers an expensive modification to make? I imagine it is.

Very very nice performance though, I'd be interested in seeing the same design with the curve shifted left 500rpm so that it makes ~270-280kw but with full torque from 3500rpm to ~7k

Is this something you envision is possible to do ?

That's a bit vague...push you back in your seat feeling is very subjective and most people associate this with turbos that come on strong - usually big laggy turbos rather than turbos than come on early. As a general rule, the earlier turbo comes on, the more linear feeling the power delivery will be. So it'll be fast, but it won't necessarily feel as powerful as a dirty lagger that wheelspins at 4000rpm and makes you hold on for life.

Okay understood I guess I will just stick with the SS1PU then.

Thanks for the info

Not sure I agree, im running a Disco right now with a .86 turbine housing. Boost comes on fairly early and progressive, its really smooth and liniear with lots of top end power.

Alternatively I have driven .64 variants which come on earlier and stronger, the push you in the seat feeling is twice as epic and they are MORE responsive (not dirty laggy wheel spin things).

But we are talking about 200kw turbos rather than 300kw... Maybe thats the difference I guess.

Well he's talking 250rwkw turbos on an RB25DET, and using the Hypergear product as an example...you're either choosing a linear power delivery high flow to get you there, or a big laggy bastard like the one I test drove on Stao's car that makes you go "oh shit!" when you get to 4000rpm.

I'm assuming you talking about 200kw turbos on SR motors? I found the 'push-in-seat' more epic in a couple of Jap spec s15s I drove with boost wound up high. But maybe thats because of the nature of the less torquey 4 bangers - lag.. then strong boost, RBs seem a lot mre linear and less crazy maybe because they already have the down-low torque pushing the car along..

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
