ATR43 SS-2 Rb25det Stagea. Externally gated from stock exhaust manifold E85 fuel. Final result of 356rwkws @ 22psi on Dyna dynamic dyno:

Further testing and evaluation on the SS2.5 Alpha turbocharger, now using an 600x300x68mm tube n fine front mount cooler. I've attached two photos, note the tubing size inside the aftermarket cooler and factory cooler.

Stock cooler:

Using the new intercooler, boost tapering issue was resolved to some extend and the same turbocharger managed to pickup more power. Cooling ability however is not as good as standard, under comparison my intake temp rise by 10 degrees. I will be fitting an thicker 600x300x100mm cooler for further evaluations coming week.


Turbocharger wise, it is matching factory N1's responds but a lot more power. Pretty good to drive at this stage.



ATR43SS2.5 Alpha, externally gated on pump 98 fuel. Peek 330awkws:

Vs stock cooler using the same turbo:

In conclusion based on test result, the factory GTR intercooler is only good for up to 320rwkws on pump fuel, for upgrade, I would be recommending a good cooler that has a core size of 600x300x100mm.

All three GTR coolers are different, the 33 is best for cooling efficiency but worst for outright flow

My 105mm ARC cooler ( the best in the business) is about 4-6deg hotter then the factory 34 cooler but will happierly flow 1000hp

As I mentioned to Tao yesterday, Daz has made 500kw on a stock cooler and is heading for more. Not sure yet if he plans to upgrade his cooler this time around.

Yeah Ive heard of 450kw before

It isn't stock, it's 90 mm thick.

Weird that they're all different. How does the 32 cooler go?

And for people whom are switching to the ID 1000 injectors. The resister pack made for OEM injectors has to be removed. Big thanks for M35scotty on solving this issue yesterday. I believe he has some technical details to share.

The 32 is the best for flow but worst for efficiency, it is extrude honed and doesn't have the little fine fins inside the runners

You can tell the difference between 32 and 33 by the front of the runners, the 33 has a grove that runs along the runner which the 32 doesn't

That is something very simple and well known, simple cut the resistor off and solder the seven wires together then a bit of heat shrink and electrical tape and bingo high imp injectors working

One of his injectors had stopped working, after testing it I realised he hadn't cut the resistor pack off, one resistor had blown taking the power from that injector.

The resistor pack was much hotter than usual. Obviously it runs fine on the Haltech without modification, but overloads the resistors. Goes to show the Haltech runs some great output drivers.

Um, aren't the injectors on a GTR a negative trigger, so all the ecu has to do is earth them

That's the reason you remove the resistor, cause it's no longer needed and the high imp injectors will fry it

Sweet it should be better for e85 to a certain extent then as it doesn't need the efficiency that it would for 98

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
