In that case I'd just look at optimising the existing g3. I have the "old" one and I think it's great. And I don't think even have it high mounted and gated etc. Once the motor's breathing in and out properly you won't recognise it. :)

^^

That is very responsive for a SR20det. Not your car?

Also latest video from SSRicho. 1.31 lap time run at winton raceway.

R33 skyline. running our 21U high flow on 263rwkws.

This is the SAU VIC lap record at Winton.

From a turbo I've had for 3 years and done well over 30 track days.

The response from this turbo and the way it's tuned are perfect for Winton. I change gears 4 times (2x up, 2x down). 3rd gear pulls from 65kmh all the way to 160kmh.

After I give it a full cat back exhaust the boost level jumped 1.5psi. Did many launches measuring 0~100KM/H time. Its now sitting on about 7.5 secs from 14.5 factory (<= can you imagine what 0~100KM/H in 14.5 sec is like?).

hey stao how much is that top mount brae manfiold you use worth?

That one was $1100. I have a side mount manifold that you can have at same cost which holds the turbocharger on stock position. That has external gate port with plug made in case of running internal.

Lol was your Chinese counterpart happy with the sportage kit? Going to order many?

Hopefully so. they are still setting up a Testing rig there. If quantity is big I will move over there and build turbos for your guys at half price.

Lol! Shipping from China? im guessing half your production cost is shipping low volume material to aus before you can make your product and sell to us.

That is true, I've mentioned it before, some the housing castings Came in from overseas. they are quality castings, been through time and well tested. Join in part of globalization running through any other firms. Other wise it is not possible to produce at a cost that the majority can afford to pay today.

All machinery work turn casting into some thing useful as well as CHRA work are precisely done in Australia. That takes the majority of the cost in building the actual turbocharger. I've been pushing up in volume to drop costs so our products are more affordable, how ever I can not get rid of the cost of factory on goings as well as keeping good engineers.

About Chinese workmanship, we are seeing poor quality / low performance turbochargers because the people whom manufacturing them does not know the actual purpose of their products, instead paying more attention into what makes them $2 by such time it sales. They are businessman, not engineers, certainly not a automotive enthusiastic or have any knowledge in modifying a Skyline.

If I do fully establish in China, I can hire quality engineers at $5/H and train them to precisely build what I wanted, with much less running costs. Pass on all of that into consumers that takes away close to half of the retail costs. But its only worth considering if I have a permanent place in Chinese domestic market.

count me in too! hahahaha (I'm so over desk jobs, farking blows.. I go to work and want to punch everyone)

I've got some road experience in tuning (only with my car and a few of my friends)

Ok, so I got round to doing another leak test on my car using compressed air, first time I have done it since the last mods. I found three very big ones; one was a split in the silicon joiner on my turbo/intake caused by the hose clamp, one was the hose going to my fuel pressure regulator, and one was some very shit welding of the IAT sensor done by a certain workshop here which shall remain unnamed. These are all now fixed.

Before I found these three, I couldn't even pump 2psi into the thing, it was bleeding off air too quickly. It now takes 10+psi, which is apparently the limit of the plug I made for the intake pipe, the end cap explodes out of the rubber joiner with quite a bang :laugh:. I might see if I can fix this somehow, either a better clamp or just epoxy the end cap to the joiner, try to get the system to hold 25+psi. Anyway, the intake now holds pressure quite solidly, and given the rate of how quickly it would bleed off pressure before, I have no doubt this would have affected the performance.

I will still degree the camshafts this week to cross that off the list as well, then I guess it's back on the dyno to see if there are any changes!

Haha, thanks mate :)

I am also going to borrow or purchase some tungsten carbide rotary burrs. Need to pull off my JJR bellmouth dump pipe and match the opening to the gasket. Might also port the stock manifold while I'm there.

Further up dates. Most of our work up to date are around the 500HP range. We've improved power, response as well as boost control ability featured in the latest SS2.

up coming for trail: TD06SL21G featuring current 74mm SS2 compressor assembly. Take effects of this compressor behavior from the SS2 it should be able to pump through greater volume of air through out of the external gate in combination with the SL2 turbine. If the end result comes out same as the SS2 then we should have a L2 based turbocharger that has the identical response to a 20G while making more power then a 25G with fatter mid range torque.

I've handed over two drawings of additional billet compressor wheels to be cut, this is relating to the SS-4 development. Those wheels are engineered to produce the 450~500rwkws range, My injectors are maxing out and needs cams. but do let me know if any one is interested for the trail and I can work out a special price.

feel free to bang through your map and i will have a look over it if your still chasing neddies.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
