Little update nothing extraordinary.

This is the first dyno result sent in by DvsJez (Great tuner) running our latest SS2 with 74mm compressor on a Auto r33. The turbo is built as a factory replacement unit internally gated.

One of the goal in the latest development was aerodynamic efficiency at reasonable shaft speed, which helps with boost control in higher rpm range, and I mentioned earlier that it required very little wastegate duty to stabilize boost.

This is running just off a 18psi waste gate pressure (normally holds 14psi on G3 and older version) with usual preload. notice there is no tapering off behavior.

its an excellent curve.

Its just a normal SS2 with bush center. VNT model's power curve will be more linear. I'm building a prototype for it to be internally gated at this stage and confident it will bereliably.

The new series of wheels are aimed at lower shaft speed efficiency. Most of my customers use them on stock engines running up to 20psi. So the aim is to produce as much flow's possible based on same shaft speed.

Comparing current SS2 results with earlier G3, its made the same amount of power on 20psi then the G3 at 24psi, if discard peek power, the G3 had better power to boost ratio after 20psi.

How ever the SS2 had better power to boost ration before 20psi. No point making a turbo producing the same amount of power at higher boost level then some thing else that can do it at lower boost level.

I can always make some thing capable of running 30psi, just ask when ordering the turbocharger. ;)

Are you able to do the TD06 with 6cm housings and internal gate? T25 flange? Just bought the forged bottom end for my Z32 and i'm not 100% decided on turbos.

I've had a 300zx to play with and any thing large is horribly laggy.

Running L2 turbine in 6cm will act like a low comp NA most of the time.

I did a lot of work for the Z shop and pretty good with Lindsay. The high flowed manual turbos works out better then the TD04s that he had in both response and power.

I can high flow your stock turbo with FNT modification and SS1 billet wheel. That should be plenty for 300rwkws+ with excellent driveability.

I'm building it to run consistent 10 second passes so after 450+rwkw.

If you wish to try it I can certainly build two billet the SL20.5 in 6cm turbine. I'm sure its going to be very laggy.

alternatively you can run two SS1PU in .64 rear. They will be more responsive option for that goal.

Video sent in from Toshi (Another Great tuner). This is a Video clip from Laurel with a Rb25det engine that we high flowed its turbocharger few month back.

Awesome work Stao! Another track car proving the reliability of your awesomeness, and this one a pro drifter!

Can't beat a reputation like that!

Nice work stao. Just another happy customer from your epic turbochargers.

Id like to go for a hta 3076r stao. But I've been thinking over the weekend that I'd prefer to support a local aussie turbo builder. What would you suggest that would be the closest match from your turbocharger selection? So something capable of 375+kw atw's with good response. Obviously on e85. Would prefer a bb turbo but it's not a must. Let me know what you think.

Cheers Josh.

Woah 375kw+ from a 3076? even on E85 I don't think I have seen any figures like that yet. Stao will definitely have a good match for you.

It's funny back in the day I always wanted ball bearing but now days I see that there is too little benefit from going ball bearing when bush bearing is generally much more reliable over the long term

If Money is not too much of a issue (still works out cheaper then the fp unit) I would highly recommend the VNT SS3 unit for some thing in this range. Just waiting for Trent to get back and I will pass on some results from it.

Yeah 375+kw from an HTA GT3076R - check out the back to back of a normal GT3076R to the ForcedPerformance HTA done by 34GeeTeeTee in this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/426059-forced-performance-hta-turbos/ - better than the GT3076R in every way, basically the ultimate RB25 turbo upgrade at this stage

Bush bearing isn't more reliable, just much cheaper to rebuild when they do fail.

Honestly none of that can match VNT models in terms of response and I can run a +2mm comp wheel to match the peek power easily. Specially when the car has cams and cam gears enhancing outcome.

I will post up results from the SS3 VNT once Trent gets back.

By understanding how both bearing setup works, I believe the bush bearing setup is more reliable, specially mine has been redeveloped. And I haven't had issues using them.

Thanks stao. Well after looking at results when they come through it may be the hypergear turbo for me. ;)

Can you pm me the price or write it up in the thread. Also as I said bb I prefer but not a absolute must.

Thanks Josh

I would hope VNT should give an advantage, it definitely looks like the VNT has an edge on spool- personally I am treating what you are doing there as R&D, I like it for sure but until decent track/drag/street kms have been done on them really it should be considered to be testing. If it turns out to be reliable, what kind of pricing would you be looking at? And would you retrofit the tech to any turbo? I can only imagine how epic a VNT HTA3582 would be on an RB25!

The new one has inverted nozzle arrangement, they are no longer fighting against exhaust flow. It will reduce the required actuation strength to minimum. This technology can be integrated to any turbine housings. I was thinking about doing few for GTRs. That way theycan run two big twins, making huge power responsively.

    • 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.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
