Yeah as above, it depends on the cams. For all intents and purposes, as far as you're concerned you won't lose VCT. I don't think there's any point whatsoever putting any cams in the RB25 for testing purposes that don't retain VCT. 256deg Tomei poncams seem to be the best and most common cam upgrade for mild/street RB25s, and I believe they retain VCT. Not NEEDED, but they fatten up the midrange.

Got the Fnt turbine ended T67 dummy fitted today, and went for a little test cruise with my current SS2 tune.

I personally recon its pretty laggy for every day road use. It does have very decent top end, but its down in power and torque mid range. on 22psi In 3rd foot to floor its starts to pull really hard from 4500RPMs all the way to 7200 limiter. With limiter at 8500RPMs on tracks its probably alright, I think I will be seeing close to 400rwkws on my next tune. Since the the FNT housing is in .82, the smaller 10cm turbine might produce better response.

I got a overlay print on my final SS2 run, This graph explains about the missing mid range very well.

Blue is my last .70 SS2 bush bearing high mount Ex Gate

Red is .60 SS2 Ceramic roller bearing ported stock manifold internally gated

Pink and orange is 10CM T67 on high mount Ex Gated

All running E85

Seems to be what most people are getting out of E85 from the dynosheet section, even Simon's T67's not showing true potential till 7000RPMs+, there is no match in mid range power and torque to SS2.

Tao, u change turbo's every week :)

Yes, and high mount made it easier, all back to the SS2 now :P. I should be hitting up strips more often.

Most of customers are using it for road, I would prefer turbos with very good power and torque within usable rev range on stock cams and cam gears.

Making the external gate billet SS1 and SS1.5 at moment. They should be super duper responsive on road.

2ndly do you guys get up really early or never to go bed at all?

That is my T67 result, and yes it is on E85.

I am running a Greddy style plenum which on all accounts results in a loss of torque.

But that SS2 really does look amazing. 600Nm from an RB25 is insane.

Hey stao, just out of interest; how much would it cost to convert my ATR43G3 nissan 6 bolt internal gater to this current SS2 nissan 6 bolt internal gater?

Haha, about time :)

New comp wheel and comp cover only ;) the rest of it is reused.

Shouldnt cost much but should be epic as all fek.

Wasteland does not sleep.

But then again do you ever sleep & when you do are your dreams about turbos?

No I dream about hot chicks licking my turbos :P

Hey stao, just out of interest; how much would it cost to convert my ATR43G3 nissan 6 bolt internal gater to this current SS2 nissan 6 bolt internal gater?

To do that we need to:

Sleeve and re-profile the comp housing and back plate: $150

Compressor wheel: $200

Balance & Assembly the CHRA assembly then the turbo assembly.: $70

Total: $420

It will becomes a SS2 in .70 comp housing used on the test car with Nissan IW assembly. It won't be able to unleash its full potential till fitted with a proper exhaust manifold and externally gated plus a good tuner of course.

Some updates on the new billet SS1 and SS1.5:

I've had both housings machined to suit the core.

They will be using a SS1PU's externally gated turbine with 3inch outlet. This housing was customized to suit my current front pipe that was made for the SS2, so looks bad after been chopped and welded it few times but I got it fit on the end.

All fitted up and ready to go. will do some road tests tomorrow.

How did the new born perform? better then my SS1PU?

Well I can't really do much till its tuned. This turbo has a totally different rear wheel and housing compare to the SS2 so I'm not very confident flooring it at this point. How ever I did let it on 12psi external gate pressure and its very responsive and probably due to the effect of the external gate and manifold the torque was incredible.

Driving wise it feels like having a R34 turbo on a R33, turbo comes a live with just a little bit of throttle, ie tap 20% throttle and the turbo whistles to boost, floor it = a very big pull.

There are generally two kinds of feed backs, its either this car's got some serious power or this car is very fast. I think All SS1xx series belongs to the 2nd category. I've swapped the SS2 back on so I can drive the car, will post results for all turbos once Trent gets back from overseas. at moment I'm modifying the 10cm turbine housing to suit my front pipe, be interested to find out the on road behavior of my billet SL2 20G and 25G on Rb25det.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
