price was about $1000-1100 the one on his car atm it a IG version with no port for EXTERNAL WASTEGATE

but he is talking to brae atm about getting some prices and designs for a external wastegate version

my one cost $1150, I'm inquiring for a quantity of 10 at once to get the price down. Even with discount it is still too expansive for most people to accept.

Yeah I'm tossing up on whether to get a new manifold or not. I know it will help but its a bit of money for a decent one. The 6boost ones were my pick so far but open to other ideas :)

lol

Did you end up getting your Dyno fixed? I got a big chunk of Kia sportage here that I'm sending down for dyno tuning.

Have a loan controller coming over from NZ as we speak (so maybe 3 more days till we are back on the go).

New controller is still 3 weeks away.

Stao, is SS2 meant to have a spacer plate? Just saw your updated DIY fitting instructions and there is no mention of it but it's in the photo. Is it only for G3 or SS2 aswell? No mention on page 1 in the ads for the turbo

no need for spacer, The spacers on the test car was made for turbos with larger comp housings.

There are 2 more Billet SS2 prototypes that should out perform the current SS2 on certain areas, just waiting for Trent's dyno to be running and have them tested, of course you are welcome to send the old version back for the latest update assume the prototypes did out perform the current version.

I sat it on the manifold to see how it looks and noticed the compressor housing rests against the manifold heat shield so I was just a bit worried the outlet hose may get too hot. I can always slip a small spacer in next week or so before putting the engine back in

I'll have a better look tomorrow and get back to you. Cheers Stao

Most bigger turbo upgrades require cutting out the heat shield to allow for that slight bit of room

Yeah that's the other option. Prob wouldnt need to cut it up much either. Or heat wrap if it's too close

Here is the link to Brae's manifolds:

And you can get the RB bolton manifold for $1100, it requires some of fabrications to fit, not a big deal. but ask him to have a external gate port made just in case external gate might be installed.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
