Integrating new ideas into ball bearing CHRAs, it is to increasing bearing speed and reducing oil drag. Prototype went in working with a SS4 turbocharger, took over a minute to shut down after engine is powered off from idle. Drives pretty good, dyno tuning tomorrow.

Alrighty, part where everyone gets excited..

Details:

  • Hypergear SS2
  • 45mm Turbosmart External Gate off Housing (thanks scotty_mn35)
  • E85
  • 1.6bar boost, made more power on 1.5bar
  • IAT shot up to 50 degrees, subsequently lost 3 degrees of timing (I take 1 degree off every 5 degrees above 35)
  • Stock motor
  • Stock manifold, stock plenum

Hey John,

was wondering...that torque figure is MASSIVE do you think its accurate?

Hey John,

was wondering...that torque figure is MASSIVE do you think its accurate?

I have noticed some big torque gains with my gate off the housing setup, enough to max Trent's hub dyno recently, putting it into emergency shutdown. lol. Power graphs only show so much, and torque graphs can't really be compared between dynos... Unfortunate.

Yeah considering how much torque changed based on gearing and wheel size it's not really a useful number.

even today someone told me his XR6 turbo made 1100nm at the wheels bro! yeah sick mate I'm sure it does next time don't use 2nd gear

no idea, but I know it's not tractive effort..

It's pretty close I'd say as based of hp = ftlb @ 5250

And at about that rpm he has around 280ish rwkw so 375 or so hp, and 375 ftlb is around 510nm and that's pretty much what he has there. So I'd say the torque figure is pretty much correct

Don't underestimate what a 4L Turbo can make.

Oh ooooh.....I think my turbo just went pop.

Stao, do you offer a drive in drive out turbo changeover service? If so, what am I looking at for an SS3 changeover into a c34 Stagea? No tune at this stage. I'll basically get a new turbo then park it up till I get injectors and get it all tuned together.

Yep, internal gate in factory position.

I want to eventually shoot for the magical 300 at the treads figure. It's not my daily so doesn't have to be the nicest thing on the road. From what I understand the SS2 will do it on E85, but I'm not sure I'll ever go E85 so I need the size of the SS3.

Happy to be corrected if this isn't the case.

There is a restriction on stock exhaust manifold, so for a standard engine running around 19psi, they usually sit around the 280rwkws figure, unless more boost is added. SS2 would be pretty nice to drive while hitting that target, SS3 is best performed externally gated, and is roughly 250RPM laggier hitting 20psi about 4100RPM. Fitting it to stock manifold running internal gate, its result would be very similar to a SS2.

And uploading one more result, It is sent in from a form member, based on a R33 GTST stock Rb25det with the usual mods. Final result of 263rwkws on 17psi.

Good thing about it is this car was dyno tuned at Trents few month before the high flowed turbocharger was installed. This is a comparison between factory 2IU turbo V been high flowed.

Hmmm....perhaps I'll settle for the SS2. I can always go the E85 path later if I reaaaaally want to hit the 300 mark.

Can you give me a price on a drive in/drive out SS2?

We only do engineering related work, when collecting the turbo I can direct you to a good mechanic whom might be close to your area.

Related, but not.

Just an fyi.

I moved my engine to another shell.

I run e85, had massive problems getting the engine running correctly.

Got the injectors checked/cleaned the other day.

2 were completely blocked with the rest being partially blocked.

Have not put it back together to test but im pretty sure thats the problem.

If anyone has major missfire over all cylinders and run 85, injectors are probably blocked, its not your turbo :P

What injectors?

Some result from Today. upgraded to a Walbro 470L/H fuel pump and EBC fitted. made 383rwkws at 21psi. This is using a prototype .82 Alpha turbine housing with a ATR45 (3582 equivalent CHRA) which seems to work pretty well that matched the same response as to a VCT Rb25det motor.

Final result compare to a GT3582R in .82 turbine on a GTR 32 (E85), and a GTST R33 using the same turbo (P98 fuel).

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
