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..

    • 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).
