i guessing the ss4 comp wheel is 62mm ish, have you backed to back them

on xr6turbos. Be a better match no doubt to the old staple diet of fitting

the t04z wheel to them before the gtx3582 came out. Wonder what a

ss4 would be like with a p- trim sized rear?

cheers

ss4s compressor is in 85mms compare to the usual 82mms. I will be using that with a .82 turbine. That should be plenty for a 2.5l with a large external gate.

Yes and I think I can make it street drive able too.

LOL that would be hilarious. Something tells me it wouldn't last long, and "drivable" would need to be very loosely defined :D

It: would be every thing apart from the turbocharger.

Pretty sure I can make it work. So interested to give it a shot? :D

have a problem...my external gate is quiet sometimes..car goes lame..other times gate is loud(like it should be)..

car goes pretty hard for what it is...when gate is loud, guessing its a boost leak..a random one. As i never drive it,and 99 percentof the time have the kids

in car, its taken me 5-6 weeks to work out

what is happening, thought my ears and bum dyno where broken.

I actually drove it all last weekend,by myself for once it was wet road was damp..noisy gate..no traction in first and quarter way through second(auto).did this

about 4 times , then went to a mates .first gear ,no noise

no wheelspin in first and gutless as f**k and then it twigged..i am not dreaming

(and no i don't usually drive like this, i actually hated giving the poor thing a hard time, but i wanted to establish if i was infact dreaming or not)

boost leak..random..stock bov's failing perhaps?, anyone had this problem before..might explain a few things like the turbo woudn't make

any power over 19psi on dyno..any more and it pumped hot air , had me puzzled at the time , and the ex gate was quiet then aswell from memory..actually mate has identical setup and gate and was quiet at the time compared to his.....having never driven it before i thought it was the way it was, but no its been louder after..

actually few other things have happened aswell, now i think of it..hmmm, like boost went up WAY higher than what the ebc was setup for on dyno'

which was 19psi. I originally though it was the ebc as it was broken and repaired by my brother and i was going to test a few things this weekend.

i was just surfing sau, and noticed someone has similiar problem, and quiet ex gate and they hadn't hooked up there blow of valve

line so it stayed open..which leads me to look there tomoz , maybe its faulty???

cheers

Edited by jet_r31

when ive had broken diaphragm, its broken...doesn't fix itself,won't it overboost?..its underboosting..

its a turbodumb 38mm with 19psi spring

Car has been doing this from the beginning, its random Stao, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, feels fast, feels slow

i thought it was the surroundings and the noise sometimes didn't echoe, and thought i was just getting used to power, but no its not that, its gutless

when its quiet

mate had same problem with gcg hi-flow, 215rwkw and shit boost control, put a turbosmart replacement blow off valve on and made 244rwkw

he told me to fit one when i built it, but searching on here, everyone said they are generally fine so i left it

I'll check gate on weekend aswell

cheers

Turbo would probably find a way to die just so it doesn't have to put up with being on such a pathetically depressing setup :P but yeah, every part of the engine and drivetrain other than the turbo would shit itself in spectacular fashion methinks! hahaha

On a semi-serious note, later this year I'll look into getting rid of the van and replacing it with something like a Golf R....depending on warranty etc (if I buy new or used), I might look into modifying it for ~250awkw or maybe a touch more, and optimum response...who knows where that'll lead me :P

Hooo The VW Golf R. Remember to buy the one with a Wet box. Don't go any where near the DSG dry box stuff. They are horribly bad. The Chinese government made VW to do a huge recall on all their cars with DSG dry boxes, and many of my VW clients and tuners I build turbos for have reported this problem.

They also run direct injection, you can run them on Audi R4 mechanical fuel pumps and injectors. There isn't much ecu options apart from few people that makes fixed data flash tunes. I think Link G4 recently made some thing for older Golf models, but doesn't work with current models.

VW modification cost lots of $$$$ and the end results are no where near to a stock Rb25det.

If u got the cash Buy my test rig :yes: its already been modified and all you have to do is drive it. I need garage room for a GTR.

The box issue is only in the 7 speeds yeah?

7 speed DSG, there are also reports from the wet boxes failure, how ever the problem isn't as severe. Apparently they stuck in gears, rapid shifting gears, case sudden lose of power or sudden acceleration. VW declear a problem with the Auto controller software, that causes the premature wear of its clutch plates and fly wheel. how ever the issues are yet to be rectified. And that is on a factory tuned vehicle. Seems to be in certain VW from 2009 ~ current.

Ooh... Missus has the 2012 GTi and thought she was in the clear after the recalls... Maybe not! Anyway, not derailing your thread............... Again :P

I don't understand this "wet/dry" box dealio, but the Golf R only comes with a 6 spd DSG I believe.....either way, if I go back to a performance car of any kind, I don't think I could go back to a Skyline lol. As much as I LOVED driving that car, the endless f**king problems it had along with the money it drained just maintaining it to the piss poor standard it was at really drained me emotionally >.<

I'd only get something that literally didn't need another cent put into it. Full engine build, reconditioned gearbox, looks great, zero problems. Unfortunately for the money I'd need to fork out for the right Skyline, I could get something much "better quality" :(

Plus if I went back to a Skyline, it would probably have to be a GT-R hahaha

Actually after modifying S14, 180sx, 300ZX, Soarer and R32. Modding R33 is like walking into heaven, this is probably the easiest car to modify, with plenty of parts available, and getting power out of the Rb25det is so easy. Compare to the rest the R33 made the most amount of power with the least amount of money spent.

Definitely, but after the headaches mine put me through it'd wanna be fully engineered and ACT RWC provided before I'd even entertain the idea of getting another one haha... I do miss 2nd gear ice skating in the dry though :(

Some updates:

This is the SS1PU Alfa version.

ss1pu1.JPG

I will make Alfa version stand for our most advanced turbo systems that delivers the ultimate power and response. VNT, BB, CBB, Billet wheels, customized bell shape inner profiles and etc will all be parts of this project.

As in the turbocharger above: I have trimmed down a older SS2 comp wheel to produce around the 320rwkws mark since the turbine end is only capable of flowing up to 322rwkws. Which I rather turn the additional load into response. I want this to be the most responsive 320rwkws any thing can ever produce.

does it come with a HKS badge?

    • 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.
