If only your mother knew of the word! :P

Most of us here are more concerned with kilowasps and efficiency than checking out our gelled hair in the reflection of a pipe...but each to theirs I guess!

good one. im gonna use that next time!

Scottys work fabrication is some of the best I've seen, I'de rather a strong weld that will hold up under extreme circumstances, than something thats probably been made of the same quality as tin foil.

He's probably the only fabricator I'de trust working on my car, or anyone else's car locally

Quick update. I have boosted my SS2 to 15psi and it goes awesome considering its untuned. Knock didn't go past 18 (had a previous tune that accommodated the boost. And clutches kicks are a dream with the twin plate. Getting tuned on 18-20psi on the 15th. If I get time I'll post up the results of that. In all honesty it is a bit laggy for me but I'm very picky. Just got to learn how to accommodate for it when I drive.

Surely tune will help with this, seems premature to evaluate.

Lol. How would you know what my idea of laggy is? I have doubled the rear wheel and rear housing size, so I think it isn't premature to evaluate this. Even a good tune won't make it not laggy "in my eyes". But each to their own I guess. Some people don't think a g3 is laggy and some people (me) thinks a ss2 is. Its a fantastic Turbo and so dynamic but as I said I have to get used to it.

Looking at the ss2 dyno and having driven similar turbod cars I would say it is laggy by most peoples definition, laggy for it is though? no

Lol indeed.

Well it's true laggy is subjective, but he's right, the tune will help with spooling and power delivery. Will also improve the off boost fuel/timing so that the lag itself isn't that bad.

Yeh but it doesn't say Greddy and you can't see yourself in the polished reflection.

I make practical intakes that work, not fap toys. lol.

Have to agree there!! Have seen a lot of Scott's work and seen his piping hold 550+ rwkw, practical is just the start of it! It might not have a badge, but probably flows better and has better value for money than "badges" out there. Some of his custom designs are awesome, even trying to get him to do some improvements on some fabrication that has been done to my car.

Thanks Shadz, drop in sometime I can definitely help you out. (If you're keen to drive an hour each way for some work to be done mate.) :)

On topic, I have an M35 turbo coming down to you for one of those new 'responsive' highflows on the previous page Stao. I will call when it's out. Thanks for sending him my way buddy, I will look after him.

I forgot to mention in the last run before the head gasket cracked. That SS2 has a customized housing, it is slightly more responsive then the one before that model. SCR48 has that housing. Adam come for a test drive in the newer housing have a feel of differences once I get the car back on the road.

Latest configuration

The one earlier:

Some updates:

The manifold finally came back from Brae auto fab:

and it will be running on a 50mm external gate:

manifold2.jpg.jpg

This is still a bolton manifold that holds a turbocharger in stock position. How ever I'm going to wait for the later and cheaper manifold prototype that said to be complete on Monday.

The head gasket also shown up. how ever it isn't 1.1mm as what the seller claim to be. 0.051 of an inch calculates to be 1.3mm.

any one had experiences with 1.3mm head gaskets? or I'm just going to install another stock gasket back in. hopefully it will be back on the road towards the end of next week.

I'm keen to see what the SS2 would do at its full potential, on that setup, then follow it by an updated version of the SS3 now has a different wheel curvature, which I'm hopping to hit some where close to the 400rwkws mark with similar response as the SS2.

By the way SS1PU is now available in a SR20det bolton form. A trail with customers stock S13 SR20det have reported a final figure of 270rwkws @ 17psi using 260 duration cams on pump 98 responsively. I will pickup and post the dyno read out coming week.

    • 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.
