Whilst I don't disagree with your statement, what I meant by "better" is feeling smoother and more effortless. The car may actually be faster at the same boost, but I couldn't really tell this from the feel...I'd have to do some timing tests.

The psychological feeling that your foot is only at half throttle, producing the boost that normally appears at full throttle, is certainly nice.

. I take it you're running an SS1PU, siks?

Yep, normal SS1PU

7psi on stock turbo doesn't = 7psi on this turbo which is why it feels so much better. it is pumping a lot more air.

This is true with the SS1PU compared to stock - I noticed on the freeway in 5th gear more than anything - light throttle and 10psi gives you better acceleration than flooring it on 10psi with the stock turbo.

Holy hell im excited to install this bad boy!

Any fitmeant issues?

Also where did you get your gaskets from?

I didn't fit it, OTR did the installation for $450, which included replacing all exhaust manifold studs. There were some broken studs, so I'm glad I didn't screw around with the install myself. As far as I can see, the only fitment issue they would have had, is that my whole exhaust now sits about 1 inch further back, because Stao's dump flange sits closer to the firewall than the standard dump flange. They didn't modify the exhaust though, and my tail pipes come further out the rear, so the whole system must have had enough slack in it. According to Stao, all you have to do with the standard exhaust system is remove the gearbox mounted exhaust bracket. I'd previously removed this part and my exhaust is custom made, so not applicable.

Exhaust manifold gasket was genuine Nissan, the rest were "permaseal" that I got on eBay (don't get the cheap eBay ones, they are shit).

Cheers for the info birds

I'm going to have a shot at installing it myself if I fail then I'll go to an exhaust shop or similar.

let that guy in the chopper install it for ya Kasko ! ! He looks up to the task....pinch.gif

It always scared me, the thought of upgrading my turbo and losing too much of the factory response / daily drivability. If you have these concerns, get this turbo. What little response I have lost, translates to a better daily drive all round

haha,

Oh how concerns of lost response quickly fade when the boost hits ya.

Agreed. Honestly, most people I have met (in person) who are concerned with stock response blah blah have never been in a laggier but fast car.. once they experience that they forget about off boost and at low rpm issues.

Same with with NA is best crowd - ive lost count of how many of those people i have taken for a ride after which they shut up about NA and suddenly want to buy a new turbo car lol

glade to know every thing's going well.

This might be off skyline topics but any one know any good ecus or perferred plugin ecus or flash software that I can run with a VW Golf GTI 2L turbo DSG motor? Got a offer to develop bigger bolton turbo for that car but its totally new to me. cheers.

Also I will be starting some evaluation on externally gated turbo combinations, and will be able to supply those at a very reasonable price including some of the popular TD06 and T67 combinations. Possibly with billet wheel and ceramic roller centers.

God I can't wait for my tune, this turbo is begging to be unleashed! So much self control required :(

It would be interesting once you get your car tuned to drive back to back against Ric's GT3071r 280rwkw car.

Should be a very good comparison :thumbsup:

There are extremes of it though. When I drove Stao's R33 I didn't like the lag at all, it totally nullified the awesomeness of 300rwkw+ in the top end. Each to their own though - I like a car that can move through the traffic gaps quickly or rolling drag without dropping down a gear. The SS1PU, so far seems like a very good balance between a boost machine and a commuter.

Will be doing this for sure! I'll also be heading down the E-flex path after I'm done with the PULP tune, has anyone done this with the SS1PU yet? Will be interesting to see what she is capable of.

Pulled out everything today and will be fitting the PU tomorrow. Can you believe my dump pipe bolts were able to be unscrewed by hand and also the manifold bolts

Either the freezing stuff I purchased from autobahn is amazingly good and everyone should get it or the last person who did them up had no clue!

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
