Had a big day yesterday. I've had both new comp wheels trailed. Both of them are super responsive, feels like stock turbo pulling big power. Results are based on E85 fuel, high mount and plumbed back external gate.

The new billet SS1 with 60mm wheel:

Maxed out at 276rwkws, made 20psi by 3500RPMs. This turbo is bit small for a Rb25det, it is perfect for a SR20det and Rb20dets. when used as a bolton turbocharger internally gated with pump 98 it is good for around the 220rwkws mark.

The SS1.5 made 298rwkws peek, also 20psi by 3500RPMs. This turbo can be used on Rb25det, Rb20det or Sr20dets. Used as stock bolton on pump fuel, it is capable of around the 240rwkws mark.

Stao I had been waiting for these results for some time now, but I can see that the SS1PU on 98 fuel is still trumping them in every way?

On 98 the SS1PU (71mm) has more power and torque @ 3000 and 4000 RPM than both. In theory the 60 and 64mm compressors should at least have more @ 3000 and I would have thought the 64mm would have more at 4000? Especially considering the 60 and 64 were tested on E85 and highmount and the SS1PU was not.

Ultimately I cannot see the SS1PU doing anything but smashing these turbos in every way once on par. Considering your SS1PU result was on the stock manifold and 98, and these are on a highmount EWG with E85.

Any thoughts?

Maybe that turbo combo is just in a sweet spot for diminishing returns with the engine & setup you mentioned. Not too small to choke the setup, not too large that heat or other inefficiencies become apparent? :blink:

Yeah, I'm wondering if its something to that effect or if the SS1PU is just superior.

By COB next week I will know just how well the SS1PU performs on my SR.

What trim is the 60mm compressor wheel?

It doesn't show much on the dyno as it is 4th gear 100% throttle. But through every day driving using 20%, 30% or 50% throttle the difference is very noticeable. And this is probably as responsive as it can go in terms of not chocking the engine.

I've also trailed two bigger turbos yesterday, while the maximum that I could reach was 370rwkws regardless size of the turbocharger. Which is probably at factory cam shaft's limit.

Below is G3 in Type A rear housing:

and SS3 in Type A rear housing

After comparing results it appears the SS2 is probably one of the best turbos in its range for Rb25dets with factory cam shafts. It can perform reasonably well internally or externally gated and used as a bolton turbocharger.

While the SS1.5 and SS2 are the best turbos for people chasing mild power while maintain factory's driving ability.

The Billet SS1 and SS1.5 would be an excellent upgrade for factory Rb20det and SR20det's interms of mild power and response.

Also is the ss1pu overlayed in those results in pink or not if so seems to make more power and torque nearly everywhere down low there's barely any difference seems the better choice

If the ss1pu result was on e85 aswell not 98 should have made up for the power and response down low

Pink is also ss1.5 the whole sheet represent the 1.5 with different boost levels. Also it could because the SS1PU was trailed on a stock manifold, the billet SS1 and 1.5 is definitely more responsive.

Turbine side of the SS1xx is identical, only the compressor size is different, theoretically small comp wheel deliver better response. I've used a large .86 turbine for the Rb25det, Smaller .64 turbine housings are used when configuring SR20det and Rb20det engines.

Because I didn't have a ready built SS1PU on that day other wise it should make very decent power on the high mount setup. Will trail that on my next visit to Trents.

With the SS1PU If you can run 23psi of boost, they can make up to 280rwkws on stock manifold internally gated. Other wise they generally be making around the 260rwkws on 18psi.

I'll see how gtscotts car goes what cams you running in your sr20

Mine is running Poncam type R's 256/11.5

Also a freshly built motor, bc springs/retainers/gears, cp pistons, manley rods, 850ccs, the works. The only thing im worried about is my HD clutch, fingers crossed on that front.

It will be dropped off at unigroup on Tuesday and ill be telling them to put my backyard skills to the real test.

Haha I know that feeling. Goodluck mate

lol thanks man. so far so good, it runs well and sounds solid without a drop of oil or smoke.

Its taken me 6 months to build it, funds permitting, so Im really looking forward to a rewarding result wherever possible.

Sweet same place I get my car tuned Unigroup yavuz is a great tuner

Got the same cams aswell buts yours has VCt as if you had larger cams would be laggier but more top end

What boost you going to run ?

Are you going to test it out at wsid after ?

Edited by hy_rpm

Non VCT man, I ditched the VCT because its too problematic in the SR's. Went with S13 type cams and got adjustable gears instead.

I'll just let them boost it till it stops making power to be honest lol, yeah I will get out to the creek once its all done for sure. Never been before though so for the first few times I plan to be just watching the traps to see if it backs up the power. Dont have any bags either so a little worried about what tyres to run too.

Further update: This is SS2 turbocharger have trailed of our newer brass bearing setup with alternative oil delivery gallery. Video shown turbocharger after the car has been shut from idle. On road it starts building boost and build boost to full just noticeably faster

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
