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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
