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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • 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.
