Bit of a novus question, but could the stock bov contribute to boost bleeding at higher rpm on the ss1pu's or are they usually good for 300kw+ ?

Yes it's possible, Stao believes the standard BOV bleeds off boost, though from memory boost tapered off with his setup too.

The BOV does have a 4mm hole bleeding air, for a smooth throttle roll off. You can tap an m5 thread in the hole and loctite a grub screw there to try it I guess.

near identical to my old setup - OP6 rear housing highflow, return flow cooler, stock airbox, 256rwkw on 98, 17-18 psi i think ,that tapered off a couple psi

Birds i think you'll need to look at something more than just the spring in your intake pipe. I did the rev210 mod with my intake pipe and one day i found it crumpled and collapsed. My guess was all the extra heat from having a hotter running HF turbo killed it, but i'm not sure. Chasers made me a full metal intake pipe and if i was doing it again, that's the only way i would go. Sure everything was fine to start, but it didn't turn out great in the end.

Just get Scotty to knock you one up, done quite a few HG intakes by this stage i reckon :)

Cmon, you should know the answer to this John..

The problem with running stock housings is they superheat the air, the more air you try to shove though them the hotter it gets the hotter it gets the less power it makes..

You could pump more into it but it wouldnt be safe and wouldnt give a realistic figure of how much power it is actually making..hence the need for e85 to help keep it cool...Which should work well...ish..

Either way its a pretty good figure though for what it is and the boost it is running,

I bet it feels pretty damn nice to drive as is too, but I think if you keep on the gas to long it will heat up quickly and then it becomes inefficient..

I know mine used to...If hes only gunna do quick sprints here n there it shouldnt matter too much though

I was wondering about a single run for comparisons sake.

Making an assumption (it's going to get hot, blah) is all well and good, in the real-world is the test.

Well as I said earlier, if it comes to that I'll get something made up, but there's no point yet if the spring is doing it's job for now. Come the time (i.e. E-flex tune with more poundage), I will most likely get Scotty onto it :)

Was your old turbo an HG?

Its more than an assumption mate..but don't worry I am 100% certain he can give me a run for my money if that's what your getting at ;)

lol how about you sort out your clutch and I sort out my tyres first...I lose traction in 3rd which is, somewhat disheartening. I'm a bit worried now actually, without 20psi my midrange may not be strong enough to pull ahead of you early on. Guess we'll find out!

Curiously guys, regarding the extra power/torque that the R34 RB25DET NEO produces in factory form over the RB25DET found in the R33 (I can't remember what the upgrade was - VVT?)...does this power difference net any advantage when it comes to this stage of modifying? I.e. should we expect the NEO engine to (hypothetically) make more power with the same modificatons (turbo, injectors, ECU, tuner, dyno etc.) as a non-NEO RB25DET?

Pfft..excuses already, how,about we just race.

wheel size rims & tyres do you run birds?

i think u need to upgrade to 18x12" wide with 325/30/18 rears :thumbsup:

265/35/18 on the rear...granted I do have them at 40psi, so there's probably traction to be had in lowering the pressures a bit. They are only KU31 so nothing special in the grip department. Thinking of swapping them for Nitto NT05s, as Ric (HEKT1K) is running them in 235/40/18 form @ 280rwkw with no loss of traction in 2nd. If I could fit 325s I would lol.

Pfft..excuses already, how,about we just race.

No excuses, just altering my predictions of the outcome. But there's no point running up against you if I can't even put 1 bar on the dial and maintain forward movement :dry:

I also want to see what your car is capable of without a slipping clutch, so get your shit sorted!

lol, my car puts down 1 bar just fine mate..

Good for you, mine doesn't! Read my post again :)

Can I get in on this race :)

If you wanna drive down from Canberra...we can make it a three way :3some:

Wow, I finally found use for that emoticon?

All 25's have VCT. The main differences between the Neo and the standard 25's had nothing to do with power. The differences that do affect power really make no difference at all once you get to this stage.

Where are you guys located

Whyyounotcomehere

Melbourne. 2 vs 1...you come here.

:/. I know you edited that

I edited my post, but not the part about me struggling to put 1 bar to the ground!

Good to hear your result Birds. I still need to post my updated dyno result.

Its funny how before there weren't results for the ss1pu, I posted mine and everyone is acting like there is something majorly wrong with the car when it initially made 242kw..

Meanwhile now we have:

Birds 252kw

Kasko 250kw

Myself 251kw

And that now appears to be accepted as normal. Gotta love forum e-mechanics :)

On another note, I took my car to Wakefield park on Sunday...I think I may have had a bad batch of fuel since it was pinging on the freeway during the drive down however I put in a new batch of fuel then 'tested'' it after which it didnt ping at all so decided to take it to the track. Only did 4 sessions and was taking it easy since I didnt want to risk the car but the turbo is pretty nice on the track. Good power to use out of corners, more top end would be nice but whereas the car felt super underpowered on the track with the stock turbo, it now feels... i wouldnt say fast, but normal.

The turbo is torquey enough to lay long black lines out of corners in 3rd gear if you wish, nice to see them getting longer and longer in the rear view :)

    • 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.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
