Jez- is it just the way you set the boost controller/ tuned that e85 line isn't more responsive? Or is it a very safe e85 tune? Am I missing something. I thought most ppl gained 3-500rpm more response

The green line is the low boost setting, which is basically just the actuator I think controlling the boost, the red line is the Higher boost setting, both are E85, Jez did a f**king awesome job, as usual!

EDIT: I didn't see the response from GTSBoy, I just said something because it's my car :)

I've mis-read your comment in the dyno sheet section. the none boost controller version do appeared to be a little more responsive for some reasons. Good result nerveless.

The response can be missleading from run to if the exhaust temp is cooled down.

ie: the high boost run was probably the first run ater letting the car cool down etc.

hard to explain but both are the same response.

We did pick up a tiny bit of response with E85

Here are some results today from using the aftermarket CN bolton manifold. There is a gain but not impressive. All three runs below are from one turbocharger.

Power wise:

Red used the lowest boost making the highest power = Brae bolton manifold (winner :cheers: )

Dark blue = Ported stock manifold

Light blue = China stainless steel bolt manifold

Boost wise:

Stock exhaust manifold was the most responsive,

Brae exhaust manifold was the 2nd while stainless steel CN manifold was the laggiest.

During tuning, the CN manifold took 3 degrees of additional timing up top while stock manifold would've pin, making timing table wise identical to the $1200 Brae manifold. That is shown in the gain after 6500RPMs.

The SS2 turbocharger used today was also fitted with my twin actuator setup that had the least amount of boost drop compare to the other two.

So in conclusion while having the the highest boost level, been the laggiest, but Still not good enough beating an $$$$ hand made Australian manifold. How ever still an better exhaust manifold compare to stock. I will do one more run with in a week time using the .82 Ceramic roller SS2 against results obtained using factory manifold before making the final decision on having them imported or not.

The SS1PU result that I've got was based on using this type of manifold. So there should be a 10% gain V fully standard exhaust manifold.

I think thats one of those things that is true, but not noticeable on the road or on the dyno. Negligible difference.

I can understand if Stao scraps the project if the OEM item works close to or well enough hey.. Its probably easier for fitment and a better result to hang a gate off the housing instead.

Stao why not back to back these 3:

SS2 IWG stock manifold

SS2 IWG stainless stock position

SS2 EWG/housing stock manifold

My money is on the EWG version topping them all and we wont need to test this stuff again.

Well its still a dirt cheap part to buy, works out cheaper then me modifying a stock manifold. I will be doing some further evaluations and see how it goes.

No I dont mean to plumb the gate off the stock manifold, I mean to leave the stock manifold as is and pop the gate off the turbine housing.

Am confident it will work best.

But if there is a restriction in the stock manifold, then plumbing it off the rear housing won't be as efficient as plumbing it off the stock manifold to relieve the exhaust pressure. It is only beneficial to plumb it off the rear housing if the manifold is not restrictive.

That's my belief :)

I dont think either or will resolve the restriction in the manifold, but there is also a restriction posed by an internal gate size.

My SS1PU has a MASSSSIVE flapper and port for an IWG turbo, and even then its only about 29mm.

Popping a 40mm gate (from wherever really) would reduce the restriction from the turbos side and allow you to get a little more, still working within the flow restriction of the stock manifold. It simply stops the two from compounding and becoming worse.

Doing it off the housing just means Stao can continue to supply the turbos as a kit, still fitting the OEM dump pattern and leaving the user to simply make a screamer pipe or plumb it to his existing dump.

It will also open up the market for people who want to go a .63 rear housing for mega response, and who need an external gate to bleed off the higher pressure in the exhaust.

Stao why not back to back these 4:

SS2 IWG stock manifold

SS2 IWG stainless stock position

SS2 IWG v-band stock manifold

SS2 EWG/housing stock manifold

Discussed this with Stao last night as I wouldnt mind getting my dump away from air con drain and a little higher while I'm making changes to my exhaust.

Not sure if it would be better of not. Maybe only past 280rwkw would make a difference?

Thoughts?

Neg. Spool would have an effect too as it takes more mechanical effort to crack the 40mm gate than it does the 29mm flapper.

benefit you describe as 'up top' would actually start from the moment your on full boost. I am guessing you will be able to wind in more timing as pre turbine gas pressure would have a decent reduction.

please don't make the decision on my opinion alone though, as I don't want to feel solely responsible if it doesn't work as well as I might imply lol

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
