Awesomeness

Whilst I would agree that an intangible thought process or emotion expressed as a singular praise word might be a fairer comparison for the "rolling thunder, force of nature deus" that is the SS1PU...I would like to see a mortal at least attempt to compare it to something more tangible and preferably metallic.

My balls.

Of steel.

What would you say the SS1PU is equivalent to?

custom spec 71mm compressor, which should spool as good as a 52 trim but make more power than a 56.

turbine is similar to a GT28 but slightly enlarged. Combats choke and surge experienced on an actual 2871/GTRS.

in essence our cries were heard that we wanted a GTRS competitor. Stao went one better :)

an SS2 is the same compressor on an enlarged GT30 style rear wheel. So a hyper 3071.

I hope I was allowed to share this data :O

Had to read this a few times...prob due to just waking up.

So bigger turbine but same spec compressor as 3071. Correct?

Although prob lighter comp wheel I guess

Its more of the wheel sizes are similar, the actual trim and blade profiles are very different.

Here is a ATR43G4 (big turbo) that's been recently installed on a R33 stock Auto and shift kit with 98. I think thats the most I've seen out of a auto so far and its only on 16.5 psi of boost.

Might have found most of my mid range low power issue this morning.

Exhaust cam was 3.5 crank degrees retarded. Adjusted to 0 (115 btdc)

Inlet was 6 crank degrees retarded. Have maxed the adjustment getting it to 2.5 degrees. Waiting for my son to have a nap so I can jump the belt a tooth and adjust it to 0 (120 atdc)

Also waiting for a quote on a new cat-back system to be made at a mates business. Need to get the bell mouth off and open that up before it goes on.

Hopefully will catch up to everyone down low

Good work Trev! I knew cams would be out!

Can u please share the secret to dialing these? Ive just finished assembling my SR and need to do some dialeroo

*leans in closer*

Hey Martin I've bought a degree wheel to go on the crank and made a piston stopper using an old spark plug and threading a bolt through it so you'd welcome to borrow.

Set to TDC visually. Install degree wheel with TDC about where pointer will be. Wind clockwise 30-40 degrees. Fit piston stopper. Wind backwards and record number. Wind forward til it touches and record number. Average of these is true TDC. Adjust pointer to zero at that position. Remove piston stopper

Set dial indicator on lifter bucket of no1. Rotate to ensure it doesn't get caught as there is stuff all room. Wind til at max lift and zero dial gauge. Rotate around til .050" before max lift and record number. Rotate past max lift back to .050" and record number. Quick calculation to find the average will give you max lift degrees. Compare to manufacturers spec to see if its correct. Adjust as necessary.

Very quick explanation as I'm busy ATM.

You need a degree wheel, dial indicator, piston stopper and tooling to remove balancer at least.

Finally got my car tuned today with the SS3-eg.... pretty disappointed in the result... only made 287.5 kw.

Something must be going on because I think it should be making a bit more, I was def hoping for something over 300.

I was trying to run it on 20psi, but it was only getting to 18-19 and then dropping off to 17ish.. Ive only got the 7psi spring in the gate and the boost controller is maxed out.

Im going to try and put the bigger spring in and hopefully get it steady at 20psi and see what happens.

It was heaps weird, when we had it on the dyno the first run made 285, then we ended up throwing 7deg more timing into it and leaning it out more and it made absolutely no difference.

Setup is:

- SS3-eg

- 6boost manifold

- 50mm turbosmart gate running screamer

- 3" exhaust with only 1 rear cannon

- Greddy inlet manifold

- E85

What do yas think?

got a venom hi flow metalic cat, the cooler seemed to be doing its job, on the dyno it was hot on one side and cold on the other, but I suppose it could be a restriction.

I didnt want to spend heaps on a cooler as they just get fked up so quickly, and I end up just changing them out

that doesnt sound right.. you describe it at really simple which should work in theory.

Whats done to the motor itself? Whats changed (other than turbo side) since the last time it made decent power? I dont think the turbo side could be slowing it down, other than exhaust but that sounds pretty sweet.. If its all 3" straight anyway.

So that leaves a crappy intercooler, intake restrictions or possible mechanical issues with the motor.

Need to consider changes the most, like I said..

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
