This is a SS1 none PU version. It maxes around 250rwkws with same response as a factory turbo, it never worked on this stegea. So I'm happy to have it upgraded to other series at no additional cost.

30rwkw isn't far short, especially considering not many of your customers turbos equal what your test car makes. If you could figure out why it isn't holding boost then I think it would come a lot closer.

No the average of 250rwkws was taken from 3x different cars. they all run up to about 17.5PSI top end, they were 253, 247 and 245. The final afr is all about 12. The best run of 260rwkws was on 23psi.

I couldn't figure out why its not holding boost on his car. I guess its better to exchange for a SS1PU or G2 a G3 which results are well proven by many people.

Or I can exchange with some thing that comes straight out of my car like the G2 I've done for your self and we ended up with same power.

I see, but still not far off.

Thing is, what if the turbo isn't the issue? What happens if whatever replacement turbo you send him then doesn't make power? Doesn't look good.

The turbo it self is bit on the small side as it was only made to do a maximum of 250rwkws with factory response, and it was more responsive then a stock turbo. During that time the FNT housings and billet wheels wasn't developed.

Since he's got forged engine, so its no differ to mine, it doesn't hurt to go bigger and bigger is more consistent with power and boost control.

The strangest thing I noticed is we couldn't get it up to 20psi, the higher reading was at 16psi down to 14psi, he said there was a massive heat soak and the timing was just going ridiculous. On e85 he thinks it could make 250.

For the time being I can't afford another tune, my rego is due, so I can't really change the turbo right now. As much as I would love to.

here is my dyno graph from yesterday. The car is a 96 r33 gtst and has the op6 standard hi flow, nismo 555cc injectors, nismo fuel pump, blitz turnflow cooler (heat wrapped pipes), full 3" exhaust and a metal intake. Real happy with the result, thanks Jez!

Looks like a good clean tune, should run really smooth. Can definitely see the difference between the standard highflow and the SS1PU.

Yeh the ss turbo's build boost faster but can't seem to hold it as well uptop. I had one of staos wastegate mods on initially but the boost wouldn't go below 20+ psi...

Glad ur happy Mitch. If i go to shop later i will overlay ur graph with Kasko's and post it up.

Would love to see this as the ss is $700 more expensive.

Question Jez even if mine could hold the 20 psi through the whole rev range it would still be limited by the detonation above 250kw?

Yes it should make more power. Fuel octane is always an issue when trying to push bigger numbers from a smallish turbo, Say if u had a G3 u can run more power with more boost before u hit the knock limit.

I think due to the turbo design being for as best response as possible the top end has to suffer as it chokes up in the rear housing.

That's cool I'm really happy with the response so I don't want to lower that just for a gain in power.

Maybe once I get bored of the power bit I doubt that would happen any time soon.

Even with the clutch still not replaced I managed to break traction all the way to 3rd gear last night.

Let's just say I won

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
