Stao, something that hasnt come up in a while: Variable Geometry turbos

I think last time you talked about this it was on hold due to the complexity of the task (Understandable of course) but was just wondering if theres plans to do anymore development with these this year.

In a manual we don't usually sit on the 2~3000RPMs range, how ever the autos do use that quite often and with the long gear ratio and high drive tran lose, It acts as if it needs a tinny baby turbo down low with a huge turbo up top.

Unfortunately any thing smaller on the exhaust side is going to sky rocket upper range EGT while smaller comp will reduce top end power.

Roller bearing has no effect on the SS1xx series as the bear friction in those are already sit to be minimum. It probably need a VNT valve in the exhaust housing. I might be able to get that working and driven by an actuator.

Is there a twin scroll housing option for the ss1PU?

.... you know where I'm going with this :-)

cheers

Here ya go man, 13.6 at 176kph. Just couldnt get the thing off the line nicely last night. Will post some videos later of what i mean.

Need to track down a weighbridge.

Have a full tank and nothing extra in the car that you wouldnt have when your at the drags.

Plenty of public weigh bridges around Perth, Landscribble.

Has anyone heard from Stao, sent a couple of emails off regarding eta on my turbo, haven't heard from him since mid last week.

Yea might do Martin. I wonder if i could adjust the rear spring settings to make it less stiff, would that help with axle tramp? I had the dampers wound all the way down (soft). The launch control wasnt doing me much good with mickey thompsons on. Rpm limit set to 4000, dumping the clutch it would grip within a second and just bog down at 2500-3000rpm, i dont get any power until 4400 lol..

With Mickey Thompsons try closer to 5500rpm launch mate.

having the dampers set all the way down isnt necessarily helping. thats not how suspension actually works.

you want the car to absorb some part of the power and to squat plus stay squatted.

having your damper set to zero is just gonna let the car bounce and rob you of power off the line whilst inducing wheelspin.

turn the dampers back up until you can feel the car solidly squat and stay down on a decent launch. A nice firm squat, not a free fall to the floor.

Must not making alot of power atm for that mph, Stao should take his to drags..should do upper 120's...

cheers

What was your 60ft? With worn semi slicks and circuit spec Bilsteins I ran a 12.9 @114mph with a 2.2 60ft with about 234rwkws. I didnt launch the car hard as was worried about std RB20 box. Just ride the clutch and touch the limiter in 1st if you are getting wheelspin and shift smoothly, not snatching or you just rip skids :)

LOL, thats my advice having done all of about 10 qtr mile runs in my life :) (oh my car weighed 1345kgs with 10L of fuel in it at PI weighbridge)

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
