To keep this thread on track I wonder if Hypergear and Scotty NM35 join forces to start making a bolt on package together that you can buy your turbo and custom made air intake piping etc so that u have everything you need straight up to get the car. After all if hypergear gets a few made up it should be able to reduce the price for customers.

I would be keen, and doing bulk runs would bring the cost down a little but at the end of the day there aren't many of these selling, not enough to warrant getting cnc mandrel piping and bov bungs made anyway. Added to that, everyone wants a different product, some for stock airbox others for pods, some want breathers some don't.

The basic pipe I can do much cheaper its the added labour costs involved in die grinding the hole, making the bungs that have to be manually turned on the lathe then tigged at tight angles, die grinding/cleaning up inside the pipe etc. Yes you end up with a much better and legal design but it obviously must cost more, I only charge for my labour, no profit margin here.

I was thinking of getting the pipes made in China in bulk but they would just under cut me through ebay like so many other manufacturers have found. No point.

Eco crap had nearly ruined the thread :P

Stao probably invented 3 new turbos while we weren't paying attention lol

Has the work with VNT Turbos got far yet? ATM I'm thinking a g2.5 looks the go but a VNT would be awesome

the Eco friendly chat is cool. I don't mind carbon tax and what ever the labor's trying to do

You have a PM ;)

P.S. the rb25 gets fare too much attention please develop a cnc bilit for the little o'le 20

You have a PM ;)

if it's carbon pricing related, do share... wouldn't want Stao to be misinformed would we ;), already had a few common myths trotted out in this thread already ;)

is anything else happening on the variable vane front Stao? or is that on the back-burner at this stage?

Also:

Uploading some video footages from 3 weeks ago regarding to the Prototype ATR43G3 Alfa ceramic ball bearing turbo. One of the injector went funny towards the end of that run, the best it made was 334rwkws on 22psi of boost. Didn't get the sheet, will go back with it again with aftermarket manifold, new injectors and more boost.

For now:

Are there more stories on this shinny roller bearing turbo? Ever throught of using this on your new SS2?

Its too expansive to build plus not much difference in performance. So I will leave that project for the time been.

Status is getting their dyno fixed today, so assume every thing goes well, I should have some results from the new SS2 turbo on monday.

I'm excited :) I'm almost ready to drop engine back in but will send it back Wednesday if results are good

Some updates:

I've finally managed to start the car, for some reason it was much harder to get the E85 started when the weather is cold. It is other wise in a worm day. unfortunately this years Melbourne winter is pretty cold.

The new turbo using less weighted material driven nicely and responsively on road with the G2.5 tune, with plenty of 3rd gear wheel spinning action. I believe this is the most responsive turbo using .82 type B turbine housing internally gated so far. Hopefully producing similar power as the G2.5 while providing SS1PU's response.

Interestingly or not, E85 appeared to be a much cleaner fuel then 98. I have taken some photos from the G2.5's rear housing and turbine shaft when it was re-made into the current SS2. They are clean, while 98 would leave a firm layer of black carbon.

Note: The black mark on the turbine wheel is carbon mark. No one will ever get a cracked turbine wheel from here.

Only the new SS2 if works well, you are welcome to send in yours for update free. SS1PU is probably in about a week time, running the comp wheel machined using the same material. I will also be doing lot of tuning and work for the turbo kia project.

Trent's tuning it on Monday. Likely I will be keeping it on E85, possibly few runs on 98 depending on how the time goes.

Is E85 relevant to most people interested in your turbos?

I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this.

I'm very keen to strap an HG to my Stag sometime this year, but certainly won't be going with E85 due to it's limited availability.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • 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.
