The ss1pu is abit larger turbo hence why it's slighty laggier but has scope for more power than mine

It's will proberly just need a touch up tune cause it was a fresh engine when they tuned it so they proberly set the airflow limit low to be safe and plus the weather didn't help

Just out of curiosity what upgrades can be applied to the SS1PU? Can the journal bearing core be swapped out for ball bearing, steel or ceramic? And the rear fnt/vnt housings? I've been following this thread very closely but I'm still not certain what changes can be made. I'm looking to move my power curve to the left as far as possible. Any help would be much appreciated.

Stuff in side the T2x bearing housing doens't make alot of differences wither they are ball bearing or not, mainly due to the sizes of their wheels and Its already been fitted with low friction bearings and collars. So to make it more responsive it has either to be a VNT setup or alternative compressor wheel.

Yes I've already made few alternative compressor wheels in smaller dia meter that's probably better suited for the turbine wheel and long stroke engines. I will test it out next next Wednesday. there is one more interesting result in relation to the FNT .86 turbine on a 4cyc engine. I will scan it later this evening

Sounds exciting Stao. So just to clarify I can change out the turbine housing on my SS1PU to a VNT turbine housing, did I understand correctly?s And this will help move the power curve to the left? Cheers.

Just fitted my 20psi actuator preloaded 3 turns and set boost

Hovers around 23-24psi all the way to redline

So did the trick low boost is now 20-21psi

Can't wait to take it to the drags and claim my 11sec slip just got to replace my diff as its single spinning which will hurt my take off

Sounds good. Im also running 20psi. Just scored an R33 ABS auto diff with 4.3's in it. Just trying to source an LSD to suit, bang in some coilovers and hit the drags. What kind of power u making at 20psi?

Not sure but before when I got it tuned made 252rwkw but boost control was pritty bad 25psi spike dropping to 21psi

Ill see what it runs at the creek I'm pritty confident ill run 120mph plus trap speed as last outing pulled a 12.4 @122mph with kando turbo

Did you have cams? I'm not running any and making 236rwkw, I would expect around that mark with cams. Good luck at the drags!

Coilovers would probably slower than stock shocks because they will probably be a lot stiffer

Yeah just running lowered springs and tomei damper adjustible shocks rear and coilovers up fr

Mojizzy My car had poncams aswell you should get a extra 20kw from cams but powerband will shift to the right but hit harder once it comes on hence the extra power

Ss1pu and atr28g2 are complete different turbos mines older tech and smaller where the ss1pu has larger wheels billet and new tech so should make more power

Possibly going to this year aim towards getting my SS1PU on E85.
Stao how much did you say that you think it could make on E85?

Also will my HKS 555 injectors be suited for E85?

I know they probably will limit the power I can push but does anyone have an idea of how much power they could flow

Can someone explain to me what causes too much exhaust back pressure?

Finally got the car tuned today on a build motor

Made 284 rwkw

Specs are a built forged, ported motor. SS2 turbo internal gate. 98 octane. Brae manifold, 3 inch JJR, not car, 3 inch hks cat back exhaust.

Trent said the turbo maybe a restriction. It had too much back pressure, causing the turbo to run hotter, and he couldnt run as much timing as he wanted too.

Stao said I have a 0.82 rear housing so it shouldn't be an issue

Car seamed to stop making power after 5-6k rpm

Does anyone have any ideas?

In saying that he said if I didnt have the restriction and it held boost I would be making ~ 330rwkw

Well, its not a bad result for internal gate. The older SS2 stopped making power on 312rwkws on pump 98 internally gated on Brae manifold. I'm wondering why is your brae manifold caused more lag then the China manifold I gave to you earlier, unless its made differently to mine.

The turbine housing is not small, it's identical to the other one that made 298rwkws, How ever if there is a restriction that stops the turbocharger from sucking or dispatching air then it will result in a boost drop, causes exhaust gas temp to rise as the turbine became harder to rotate. And there is nothing can be done on the turbocharger to avoid that.

Also I've noticed you've got a Hybrid (china) return flow. I suggest a pressure drop check. Basically connect your boost gauge to a cooler piping pre the intercooler and monitor the boost behavior.

exhaust restrictions: Blocked/Collapsed Cat Converter, Blocked/Collapsed Muffler, Exhaust or section size to small

Theres not a whole lot to worry about on a turbo car, If he thinks its an exhaust restriction start at the Cat and work back

    • 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.
