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?

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

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
