Also, can i get a rollcall on who is using what dump pipes with their turbos. I was using a (very old) JJR Bellmouth with an internal gate SS2 and the wastgate flap was fouling on the dump.

Thinking about buying the same thing again, but want to see what others are running, as smoe form of boost control would be great :)

Your exhaust is fine and is making good power. No need to change it. Unless the new one glows in dark.

Yeah, should be able to do that. I have a track day this Thursday, so if nothing blows up, I'll be in.

Car was originally tuned at Unigroup (290 as well- their dynos are identical I've found from personal experience), however I use DVS Jez, and has been to him quite a bit. Stock S14 motor, incld headgasket. GTX3071R 0.82 housing, 6Boost, 44mm Tial. 289kw@18psi on 98.

Lets go and see what they do, if I make it through the gearbox! :P

That is a awesome power figure and only 18psi boost on 98 should be very safe and easier on the box with the .82 rear

How did you find drivability wize going from Unigroup to dvsjez? I'm tuned at Unigroup now

If you went with a .63 rear and more boost and e85 would be very different to drive but may be abit harsh on the driveline as the .82 will be slighty laggier

I do welcome discussions about SR20dets as I'm learning about it my self.

Here is the dyno reading form the S14 I've just bought, with a GT3071 turbocharger appears to be in a .64 T2x turbine:

The response on paper is bit better then I anticipated. Its made 22psi by 4300RPMs.

boost.jpg

Very little power for the amount of boost given. Its lake of down low torque, drives like a NA most of time. The sheet does how that which makes 120kws on 4000RPMs. Same power with 300RPMs better in response would be nice.

Other funny thing about this S14 is it appears that they've hidden all the electrical wiring. There are no wiring or fuse boxes any where inside this engine bay. Electrical work would a nightmare.

I'm modifying my factory Rb25det exhaust manifold at moment for external gating, how ever it will be externally gated on two different spots of which I think been the highest pressure points. Will upload photos once its done and be interested to see how much difference in power I might be losing from the Brae high mount with a factory bolton version of SS4 Alpha turbocharger.

I was running an X-Force 3" Bellmouth dump with my HKS turbo, never had an issue with it. Its now been chopped/modified to a v-band and wastegate plumbed in.

Car sounds so awesome on the new engine, its not just turbo noise all the time like it was with the HKS turbo, sounds raw engine, love it. The SS2 is so much quieter driving around off boost, I've only hit about 3psi so far as I've only tuned it enough to just get it places, but I think its going to sound/go pretty good at 24ish psi :)

Got a 4" intake made up today, its a bit busy around the exhaust side of the engine. Few more things to sort out but should be getting tuned in early January:

The turbo outlet silicone hose will burn quickly if you let it like that. :(

I've seen some setup on SR with a silicone hose close to the exhaust manifold like yours, and the hose never lasted long.

Lol did you know it was like that or found out after trying to tune?

Looks like your car has had a big rear ender.

Nah it was fine when it was tuned. Had a car transport company move my car and this is how I get it back from them. Not sure how they managed it, bunch of special people.

Yeah think we are going to change it to a steel pipe with straight joiners

Ive done that once before with my dumpipe lol backing out of a driveway and the runner the electric gate runs on my flange caught it and completey bend the dumpipe at both those bends just like yours haha.

Id suggest getting a 90 degree elbow welded off the housing 89cal

Reversed the car and caught the exhaust on something..

The fact it actually bent like that indicates the pipe was pretty hot when it made contact, and also that it was quite an impact. Indicates to me your car was doing burnouts, lost control and went backward over something that got caught on the exhaust.

Let this be a note to anyone having a car moved by transport; you MUST have a 'mechanic' limit put in for such reasons. Something that drops the rev limit to 3,000 or similar. Or pull the AFM earth out of the plug. It will be too hard for them to work out and will make the car run in limp mode.

This i have recently found out :P And will be doing the same!

I always keep a few 90 degree silicon bends in the garage for this very reason lol. but also depends on manifold design and how close runner 1 is tucked into the collector.

I had the same design dumpipe gtscott its just got weak points and is cheaply made. I was reversing and wasn't going fast or was the dumpipe hot at the time.

Lol didnt see that coming.

The jjr is ok. Need to die-grind their dump flange abit. From memory it didnt match up with factory gasket.

Getting the VCt to work and std manifold back on will bring back that 300rpms or more response should be more around 200rwkw at 4000rpm

But remember the sr20 is not like the rb25 with 2 less cylinders

I have had them hitting under the floor too, I would say their jig was bent at various times and they just kept pumping them out. I guess for the price you can't complain.

I just purchased one today, so hopefully it only requires minimal modification.

Yeah I've got JJR too, it's fine. I had the workshop to shave back the flange as per these instructions, and also had a flexi join installed just after the bottom bend as the mid muffler scrapes every now and then and I don't want to wreck the turbo. Works well.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
