No need for the sarcasm mate. I'm using a much larger turbo than you and my strut brace fit fine. You are also the first person I have seen complain of this problem, ergo you've done something differently to everyone else. Unless Stao has positioned the housings wrong.

What elbow are you using from the compressor outlet, silicon? Can you upload a picture to show what exactly the problem is, maybe I'm picturing it wrong?

The elbow is the stock cast aluminium piece which bolts onto the compressor outlet. This sits directly under (ie; touching) the crossover pipe. Hence the crossover pipe cannot sit any lower. All of the I/C piping is stock.

I am keen to hear input from Stao to see if the rear housing places the compressor in a slightly different position than stock.

Sure, the sarcasm was probably uneccesary, but so was the assertion that I've done something wrong.

I see, there you go, I was picturing it wrong. My mistake. Didn't mean to cause any offense with my comment mate.

Nice job supporting the front there Stao, I doubt it will be able to sustain much boost but it could supply a turbo intake with plenty of airflow, should work nicely bolted to the 33. :)

If only you could get it inside the chra, it would be a good pre-spool device for short bursts...

Some updates regarding to the Electric turbo. lol.

Now running duel roller bearing with 44V 6KW motor spooling up to 48000RPMs. Its makes very strong thrust. If i'm holding it on a skate board I'm pretty sure it will push me forward. Should've thought of making it into a back pack for a bicycle.

Since its working I'll be testing it on E85 in about 2 weeks time.

mmmm doesn't looks like a joke any more. electric turbos might soon be reality. what happened to that big billet supercharger you've working on stao?

Will be retuning elusivitys car tonight with the mods Tao has recommended to help hold the boost up high RPM. Let u guys know tonight

Was it done tonight with the gate controller? Any gain in boost or power?

Regarding to the old massive supercharger running on 12V,

2.JPG

it only made minor difference in the power curve through specific rpm range when batteries are fully charged. Its drawing way too much power and dangerous to operate. I've used a 600Amp switch to operate and it welded the switch together, it only came to a stop when the batteries were depleted. Those batteries were 2x huge Optima (biggest there is), they only lasted about 2 mints and was fully discharged. The gauge 0 cable connected to it were all melted from heat. Definitly not a toy I would install on any one else's cars.

No, coilpacks were giving out, also may have melted the cat, new coilpacks tomorrow and a 50mm grub screw as one of the M8 bolts wouldn't fit cause it was touching the housing and actuator arm, so will try again tomorrow night.

I say old bean, how bout a third housIng with electromagnets to spool the shaft that shut off after a certain RPM?

The only hassle is the rare earth magnets don't like heat, it would have to be in front of the compressor to cool well enough I think.

Hmmm, wonder if this (assuming you could pull it off) would also assist with extraction of exhaust gases given the back pressure caused by turbos? Potential thermodynamic benefits from this alone?

Dual stage turbos..

The new ford/mazda diesels use them now..not sure how they would go in a high rev application..

The Supra in twin sequential form can reach 300wkw but the graph isn't that great, there is a big drop off in power as the first turbo runs out of puff, switches over the exhaust valve and has to spool the larger turbo. Works well though...

I guess with less lag you could run a larger turbo = farkn great. The motor only needs to help the exhaust spin it up earlier as they would both work together.

whoa!!!

Further updates:

This is a prototype turbocharger using billet wheel made for external gate use that I'm happy with its performance. It makes very solid power band with excellent response. I will refer to this prototype as the SS3-EG. It is now commercially available only in the form of external gate. Since no internal gate or bolton bits had to be made, I'm able to produce it at a low price of $1000 + tax or $1100 including, that is with the rear plate required for front making.

This turbo is not made internally gated. It can only perform on a externally gated setup, preferably high mounted with a large 50mm gate using E85 fuel.

Readings from earlier based on a side mount manifold with a 44mm external gate mounted to turbine housing on pump 98:

boost.jpg

Did some testing with the electric turbo this afternoon. It registered 1psi on my boost gauge 2nd gear full throttle to red, with out it the car is always on vacuum to a maximum of -5psi at 7000RPMs 2nd gear, So if we count from where it was without the E turbo then it actually made +6 psi of boost. There is a noticeable gain in acceleration, and funny the BOV also operates as if there is a turbo, but nothing like having an actual turbo doing 20psi of boost.

The skyline's got a reasonable size motor, I think it might be registering 2~3psi on a 1.5 or a 2L motor.

So how many Xtra batteries do I need to carry to run it?

2x Small 12s 5000mAh Li-po batteries each at the size of a Nokia 5110 phone weights about 1KG total. I'm thinking of series 2x 24V car batteries, that would provide lot longer running time.

Is that my turbo above Stao? cant wait to throw that sucker on..... went from the simple idea of an $800 highflow to a completely new turbo, 6boost high mount manifold, 50mm turbosmart gate, new intake manifold, injectors & rail and a tune... bloody cars

    • 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"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
