I've converted last run into actual torque based on the traction effort listed on the reading.

the new SS1PU is also built, hopefully due in for a tune next week. The current agenda still lays on the design of the actuator and waste gate package, as I'm hopping it holding 20psi flat internally gated. Likely will need designing and making of a new CNC billet actuator some how allowing spring tension adjustments like few of the external wastegates in the market.

Since many recent results from Status were done on e85, I will likely be running the same fuel for the coming tests making the result comparable. Having said that, I will get some 98 runs done on same or different dates, depending on their time allocation.

I would like to see some results of the new ss2 on 98 running about 18-20psi when you get the chance stao.

Was the graph for the e85 run fully finished or was it starting to lean out so you left it quite safe up top?

Also, I thought you always said the ss2 was better as an external gate only turbo?

Edited by Mitcho_7

thought about it. Ordering couple hopefully this week. How ever back pressure between setup varies, So it would be ideal been able to adjust the spring load freely referring to each and every setups. I will put some thoughts into making it.

Ahhhh fark it, after some thought and Stao's advice I have sent my SS2 to be updated like the new one.

If they both make similar power and new wheel with .82 housing makes similar response to old wheel with .63 then will be good if it ever hits the track.

Looking forward to Stao's results on 98 later this week also

Are you going to run it on internal or external gate?

I'm keen to see if the 98 results for the ss2 show the same improvements over the g2.5 as it did on e85

I've got my ss2 0.82 and an external 44mm tial gate dummy fitted at the moment to get my ext gate pipe cut to correct angle and length etc. So will be install properly and running by next Saturday. And may I say its going to be a very neat setup

Stao, can I come in for the free upgrade of the compressor wheel before I use the Turbo? And will the lightness sacrifice strength at higher boost levels? And is the blade design changed or just thinner blades. Any other major changes?

Internal gate. Ported stock manifold. Heaps of head work. Tomei springs and poncams

I'll be very interested to see what the common models can do on high mount externally gated setup.

Its going to make a differences compare to stock manifold on internal gate, you usually find a responsive externally gated turbo perform poorly running internally gated as the combination of the charger is different. For a internally gated turbo to keep on making power the EGT has to stay low, which the only way for it to happen is go larger in turbine housing or a more free flow turbine wheel, then compensate response with a lite weight, small but very efficient compressor.

I will be concentrating in up to 300rwkws pump 98 bolton turbos and probably up to 350rwkws external setups. I'm in the process of making a full bolton kit including manifold, gate, turbo and full 4 inch front pipe with Brea Autos. And will post of what we can come up with.

4inch pipes nice but the afm has to be relocated and what do u do with the 2X breather holes- BOV return and the oil vapour return pipe?

I actually mean 4inch front pipe as in from turbo to the cat, I will get a custom 4inch exhaust made up as well. So basically the full bolton kit including: Intake pipe, turbo, manifold, external gate, and full exhaust. I will see if I can make a heat shield that hides most of the stuff.

I re-read your last post and now understand what Ron was asking about. Ignore my jump to conclusion.

On another note I need to find a tuner for when my cars ready as Xspeed is shutting shop.

Results from the newer SS2 prototype on Pump 98 internally gated in bolt form. It made final of 302rwkws and did actually manage 200rwkws by 4000RPMs. Pretty sweet to drive on road. At this stage that every HP its getting is based on a trade off of some response. Probably only a tinny bit more room to play with. I will trail one more wheel on it in about a week time.

Looks good Stao. Any idea on where the pricing is going to start for the packages?

No plans for a manifold + int gated turbo package in the works with brea? I'd be interested if there is

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
