Stao is it possible to fit the SS1PU with the TD06SL2 turbine?

Spool doesn't appear to be any worse, I may consider trialling this on my SR...

SS1PU and SS2 all share the same comp wheel so identical to whats on the TD0620.5G

The SS1PU SR version is in .64 while the 10cm is in .73, The 20.5G can only preform in a high mount externally gates setup, I think you really need to have the car returned in a normal day for the correct power and boost correspondence after run in.

I haven't done the SS1PU RB version against SL2 turbine yet, that should give me an indication of which turbine is more responsive, how ever also need to be taken into consideration that the SS1PU does not require external gate.

I'd be keen to see the difference. I have always been confident that the SL2 turbine is the right way to go on the SR.

I am really happy with my SS1PU, but who doesnt want more! lol

I love you work Stao...own a big share of the bolt on turbo skyline turbo market and a good product at a good price, gets his reign threatened by a another product

buys same product and redesigns it better, effectively taken out his competitor with one foul swoop and in turns merges 2 popular

sau threads into his both of his..roflmao ..well played sir..I tip my hat to you...

(yes im joking, but its still funny)

cheers

The kia made 110fwkws from 73fwkws on stock injectors and it appears the stock cat back is also maxing out. I've fitted a ATR28G1 on it with high comp engine it has no lag, very fast off the lights. Its at Adaptronics making plug in ECU at moment and its been there for almost 6 month as he has issues getting stock auto to operate. This project is made for a Chinese 4S Kia dealer, Detail write up and photos has been posted at their forums. You might need google translation to read it, but photos are fine.

Also for people whom's interested in to twin pulse turbine housings. I'm in the process of making one that has a working VNT valve. It is made to work with a single or twin pulse manifold. Designed to switch a .41 A/R turbine housing into .82 after boost pressure rise beyond 12psi, it should dynamically advance down low torque and power while not hurting mid and top end.

will post up photos once its complete.

Well, work wise its all about the amount of time invested, Like I've be in my shed building and trailing different turbos while most of others are out with Mrs lol. All make of turbochargers has its strength and weakness, I don't have a Bias for or against any, but do enjoying improving them as well as putting new ideas into inventions.

Taking my car to the quarter for the first time tonight, see how it goes. Will also get to a weighbridge today sometime.

Ahh spewin I would have come straight from work if I saw this before leaving. Good luck

Stao do you have cam gears in your car? Power peaking in your car at 6800 is unusual for a T67, all the other results have made power right up and past 8000rpm. All your results seem to have strong late mid range and then fall over top end, cam gear timing is the only thing I can think of? Have you talked to Trent about it, I do remembering him commenting on something similar in the past

Good result, would hammer!

for the big turbos playing with gears may help extend the top end but on this car it always trades off low and we are chasing results which fatten the low to mid... aimed at average setups with std cams and 7650 rev limits.... no need for more top end.

For those who want more a set of drop in cammtechs on this 390rwkw will go 420-430rwkw with no changes to mid range as we did one not long ago.

Going through books, The wheel dia of the 20G is in 68mm while the 25G is in 78mm. 10mms is a pretty big jump in terms of compressor wheel dia, I'm wondering what happened to the 21G 22G 23G and 24G if they were ever existed. I have some plans on making a 73mm wheel to run the SL2 turbine on, making size wise a 22G.

Make a 73mm billet wheel with a modified stage 3 sierra wheel and somebody in the US might be calling you about some patent issues lol

Hahaha maybe he could be FORCED into it huh :woot:

So, went and had a bit of fun last night. First time down the quarter, shit is hard :glare: Got 5 runs in and got better each time, first run was a 16.55 missing 2nd and 3rd :P PB was 14.1 @108.5mph on my last run. I think I could have got into the 13's if I could have had a few more runs, and possibly matched Luke's 109. I need a lot more practise though, and shift lights now make sense to me. Was hitting limiter in almost every gear :/

Hahaha maybe he could be FORCED into it huh :woot:

??? some one already done a 73MM? The blade profile will be totally different either way, but thats ok, I can make the exducer into what ever dia to archive the same goal. Sierra wheels are bit old school, they were retired from our turbos since 09.

Using Brae high mount now. Ebay manifold is off the car.

Saw it on Facebook mate and was wondering how long it was going to take for you to post lol.

Close result to me on the airport run

Got a glance at my results at the dinner and it was 14.3 but don't know the kmh

    • My first car was a HG. I'm very familiar with them. A mild cam upgrade is a good idea. The 186 is a very flexible engine - meaning it has good torque from down low. You can give up a little torque down low for quite a lot more excitement in the mid range, and a bit more up top - but they are not exactly a rev monster. You need to upgrade valve springs at the minimum. For a bigger cam, you'd want to make sure it wasn't still running the original fibre cam gear. That would be unlikely, given that most of them shat themselves in the 70s and 80s, but still within the realms of possibility. Metal cam gear required. Carbies are a huge issue. The classic upgrade was always a Holley 350, which works, but is usually pretty bad for fuel consumption. The 186S had a 2 barrel Stromberg on it that was very similar to the one on the 253, and is a reasonable thing if you can find one, and find someone to help you get it set up (which is the same issue with setting up a 350 to work nice). The more classic upgrade was twin sidedraught CD type carbs, or triples of same, or triple Webers. The XU-1 triple Webers being the best example. You can still buy all this stuff new, I think, but it's a lot of coin to drop. And then the people able to set them up are getting fewer and further in between. There's still some, but it used to be everyone's** dad and uncle could do it. **Not everyone's! But a lot. All in all, I wouldn't get too carried away with the engine. Anything you do to it without a full rebuild for power and revs will only make it slightly faster. I am all in favour of a complete teardown rebuild, with nice rods and pistons, 10 or 1.5:1 compression, and a clean port job with at least a big enough cam to run 98 with that compression, if not bigger. And if I did that to a dirty old red motor, I'd want to inject it too, which I'd struggle to fight against the devil on my shoulder that would argue for ITBs and trumpets. But the bills would start to mount up, and it will still never make stupid power. OK, a few people still know how to build absolutely mental red motors, courtesy of the work that went into HQ racing and modern knowledge being applied. But even a 300HP red motor is no match for an RB20 with a TD06. So you have to decide what it's worth to you. I'd just put a set of 6>2>1 extractors, a 2.5" exhaust and an electronic ignition conversion/dizzy on it and just run the old girl like the fairly slow old girl that she really is.
    • Thank you so much for the comments.  This is very interesting and gives me some great ideas to think about. Keen to keep it simple and relatively classic looking. That said, i am not too worried about staying 100% period correct.  A little extra performance and relatively good (or improved) economy is just what i am looking for. Ill be keeping any parts i swap out so if i get nostalgic i can always swap it all back in.  Right now just trying to get some good ideas from people in the know (I still have a lot to learn in this space). Thank you again!  
    • Wrt the engine, you're very much limited by 'production quality' as to how much extra power you can extract from them (I'm talking i6 red-motor) -- a lot here depends on how 'authentic' or 'period correct' you want the modifications to be... ...I'm too old... <grin>...the first true performance engine Holden made, was in the HD/HR models ~ this was the 'X2' performance pack...it came with twin downdraft strombergs on an otherwise unimproved intake manifold, with a two piece exhaust manifold (reckoned to be as good as extractors)... ....these engines were built upon the '179HP' cylinder block, which included extra webbing in the casting to make it stronger and less susceptible to block distortion... The next performance i6 came out with the HK Monaro (also found it's way into the LJ GTR Torana ... the car I wish I hadn't sold)...it had pretty much the same manifold setup, but was built against the '186S' block...this block retained all the extra webbing of the 179HP block, but added a forged steel crankshaft (instead of the stock cast crankshaft), because it was possible to snap the crank... ...apart from the inherent weaknesses in the stock (cast crank) blocks, the next limiting factor is the cylinder head porting & combustion chamber design, and the actual valve sizes. Back in the day, you could buy a 'yella terra' cylinder head (from stage 1 to stage 5 gradients), and this was the way to get serious power out of them -- with the extra breathing of these heads, you could fit a triple SU or DCOE Weber setup... ...obviously, these mods were a waste of time on a stock cylinder head/camshaft grind. My housemate rebuilt the i6 in his VH dunnydore about 6 months back -- this is a 186S block with the 12port 2850 blue motor head and intake/exhaust manifolds, with a dual throat Weber off an XF Falcon mounted on an adapter plate ; it's not a bad makeup...got more torque & fuel economy just light-footing it about on the first throat, but stand on it and it makes more giddy-up than the standard 2850 blue motor that it replaced. Personal note: I'd just fit an RB30 and be done it it 😃  
    • Thanks for sharing. That's a great video! My buddy is doing the same thing on his build (S chassis struts and towers). He's building an S14 with billet RB30 shooting for 2000whp... a race car with a TH400 just like this video. For a road car I just couldn't go this route as the strut has to be almost vertical and the caster is not going to pivot correctly (let alone camber gain). You think the R32 frontend is bad, wait till you put a MacPherson strut on without modeling it all in Solidworks to check geometry. I'm not saying it's a bad way to do it but I'd be really curious to see how it affects the geometry.
    • Hey Christof and welcome!  Sounds like an awesome project! I'm not sure many of the regular users on here would know much about the HK but I could be wrong.  Looking forward to updates.
