I ended up scoring an R32 collector gasket. The R33 one is all rubber where the R32 one has a metal piece sandwiched inbetween the rubber. May hold up better with higher boost like Stao was saying.

My s1 had the metal/ rubber one standard but used a durapro rubber one and so far so good

maybe yours wasnt stock man.

Im pretty sure all the factory ones are metal/rubber composite.

I remember when Mick's one fkd out on Unigroups dyno I found it because I could hear it playing the metal bit of the gasket like a gumleaf on boost.

I would like to know what peoples opinions are on how much shaft play is normal for a turbo to have? Mine is about 1-1.5 mm total. It just feels like a lot more than what it should have. I have a SS2 with 0.82 rear. The car is also driven hard all the time. But does get good warm ups and cool downs

There should be around 30thou clearance which is just under a mm, you can't get 1.5mm as it would be scrapping housings. pressurized oil centers the shaft once engine starts, so as long as its running and boosting then its all normal.

For anyone curious on the topic of cometic gasket sets, my S14 intermediate gasket (plenum to runners) was also WRONG and didnt fit at all.

The gasket seems to be for an S13 and not an S14. Sounds exactly like them selling you a R34 kit with an R33 intermediate gasket.

Fags!

Finally had the .70 SS2 Tune on the high mount with plumb back external gate. The SS2 maxed out touch under 360rwkws (359.3rwkws) on 22psi of boost. 30kws gain over the side mount internal gate setup.

This turbo probably had the most area under curve in its HP range, felt excellent on road.

hey i think i left launch control activated on your adaptronic, when warm and stopped it should cut at around 3700rpm. Just check.

Yes it does. I will sms you for instructions if I can't turn that off my self. Car drives really good and solid. Thanks for Great work.

Yes all on E85. Below is Drift havoc's R33 build (abe2), its pretty interesting to have a read at, I've linked it to his facebook blog.

That is an unopened Rb25det motor. made 350rwkws using the same SS2 .70 comped turbocharger as mine with his hand made high mount manifold using a turbosmart gate. That car also has a plazamaman inlet manifold with 2x 4inches induction pipe (lol).

Nice work Stao! Its good to see the 71mm billet wheel is so potent.

Also nice to know I can easily have my SS1PU upgraded into a monster turbo like that if I ever want to upgrade down the track :)

I will have you another SR20 SS1PU result in January. My motor is fully built and will be fitted to the car soon.

P.S. I asked previously, but is it possible to get an actuator with a shorter rod? The low pressure actuator on my SS1PU is fully maxed out adjustment wise, and the preload is not as much as I would like.

No plazaman plenum, was too throttle laggy Abe fitted RB26 plenum and ITB's and it is now unbelievably snappy. videos of it here https://www.facebook.com/ChequeredTuning

    • Well, after the full circus this week (new gearbag, 14 psi actuator on, injectors and AFM upgraded, and.....turbo repair) the diagnosis on the wastegate is in. It was broken. It was broken in a really strange way. The weld that holds the lever arm onto the wastegate flapper shaft broke. Broke completely, but broke in such a way that it could go back together in the "correct" position, or it could rearrange itself somewhere else along the fracture plane and sit with the flapper not parallel to the lever. So, who knows how and when exactly what happened? No-one will ever know. Was it broken like this the first time it spat the circlip and wedged itself deep into the dump? Or was it only broken when I tried to pry it back into place? (I didn't try that hard, but who knows?). Or did it break first? Or did it break between the first and second event of wierdness? Meh. It doesn't matter now. It is welded back together. And it is now held closed by a 14 psi actuator, so...the car has been tuned with the supporting mods (and the order of operations there is that the supporting mods and dyno needed to be able to be done first before adding boost, because it was pinging on <<14 psi with the new turbo with only a 6 psi actuator). And then tuned up a bit, and with the boost controller turned off throughout that process. So it was only running WG pressure and so only hit about 15-16 psi. The turbo is still ever so slightly lazier than might be preferred - like it is still a bit on the big side for the engine. I haven't tested it on the road properly in any way - just driven it around in traffic for a half hour or so. But it is like chalk and cheese compared to what it was. Between dyno numbers and driving feedback: It makes 100 kW at 3k rpm, which is OK, could be better. That's stock 2JZ territory, or RB20 with G series 550. It actually starts building boost from 2k, which is certainly better than it did recently (with all the WG flapper bullshit). Although it's hard to remember what it was like prior to all that - it certainly seems much, much better. And that makes sense, given the WG was probably starting to blow open at anything above about 3 psi anyway (with the 6 psi actuator). It doesn't really get to "full boost" (say 16 psi) until >>4k rpm. I am hopeful that this is a feature of the lack of boost controller keeping boost pressure off the actuator, because it was turned off for the dyno and off for the drives afterward. There's more to be found here, I'm sure. It made 230 rwkW at not a lot more than 6k and held it to over 7k, so there seems to be plenty of potential to get it up to 250-260rwkW with 18 psi or so, which would be a decent effort, considering the stock sized turbo inlet pipework and AFM, and the return flow cooler. According to Tao, those things should definitely put a bit of a limit on it by that sort of number. I must stress that I have not opened the throttle 100% on the road yet - well, at least not 100% and allowed it to wind all the way up. It'll have to wait until some reasonable opportunity. I'm quite looking forward to that - it feels massively better than it has in a loooong time. It's back to its old self, plus about 20% extra powers over the best it ever did before. I'm going to get the boost controller set up to maximise spool and settle at no more than ~17 psi (for now) and then go back on the dyno to see what we can squeeze out of it. There is other interesting news too. I put together a replacement tube to fit the R35 AFM in the stock location. This is the first time the tuner has worked with one, because anyone else he has tuned for has gone from Z32 territory to aftermarket ECU. No-one has ever wanted to stay Nistuned and do what I've done. Anyway, his feedback is that the R35 AFM is super super super responsive. Tiny little changes in throttle position or load turn up immediately as a cell change on the maps. Way, way more responsive than any of the old skool AFMs. Makes it quite diffifult to tune as you have to stay right on top of that so you don't wander off the cell you wanted to tune. But it certainly seems to help with real world throttle response. That's hard to separate from all the other things that changed, but the "pedal feel" is certainly crisp.
    • I'm a bit confused by this post, so I'll address the bit I understand lol.  Use an air compressor and blow away the guide coat sanding residue. All the better if you have a moisture trap for your compressor. You'd want to do this a few times as you sand the area, you wouldn't for example sand the entire area till you think its perfect and then 'confirm' that is it by blowing away the guide coat residue.  Sand the area, blow away the guide coat residue, inspect the panel, back to sanding... rinse and repeat. 
    • The detail level is about right for the money they charge for the full kit... AU$21.00 each issue, 110 issues for a total of $2,300 (I mentioned $2.2K in the first post when the exchange rate was better). $20/week is doable... 😐

    • You put the driver's seat on the wrong side! Incredible detail on all of this. It looks like you could learn a lot about the car just from assembling the kit.
