From what I read of Stao's plans the idea isn't to build the fastest car in the world, but rather build a turbo to suit the common bolt on mods that most people do.

Lets face it, when most people chuck their first exhaust system on, they're aren't expecting to one day make 400kw, but we all know that the power bug does bite. Most people won't then want to swap their exhaust and intercooler and whatever else, they will just want to max what they have. And I think that's the idea of using the JJR 3' and the return flow cooler

Thats right staos plan is to use the "common boltons" that people use and see what sort of figures these mods can potentially make if pushed as hard as they can go. Which i think is a great idea. But i stick to what piggas said.. but then money comes into the picture so yeah its a two side story

3 inch for 400? Errr...

Golf ball and garden hose.

I read what was said as being the JJR dump was a bad item to use in general.

I thought zebra was saying the JJR is not "Good".

Of course going bigger is better, getting a mild steel system made up is by far the cheapest if you are on a budget.

What i was saying is the JJR dump is perfectly fine piece, the only issue people seem to have is sometimes they don't line up to the 6 bolt stock flange.

But if you want you can look at the dyno thread and see some people with 3 inch exhausts up in the >370kw range.

Stao himself has results with 3 inch exhaust in upwards of >370kw

Even one of his later ones is upwards of 430kw with 3 inch..

Mine fit perfectly fine, but that's just one person i guess.

Since then the flange has been chopped off, so fitment/gasket issues are nill.

And if the average person has the choice between a 199 dollar stainless dump and a 400+ brand name 3inch.

You know what most people would choose.

But i do agree, 4 inch would be better way to go, but not exactly necessary.
Its not really possible to get off the shelf 4 inch or even 3.5 inch for a reasonable price unless you get it made up for you.

Especially the r34.

I think stao's main market is the bolt on people here, and those people are not really in it for the "max dyno" number.

The best exhaust is no exhaust. Some of the cheap and loud exhausts actually makes the highest power. Due to the size of turbo compressor, the whole turbo has to be spaced 15mms towards chassis side. 3.5inches would be making it hit the chassis rail. well I see how it goes first.

or run an external with a screamer pipe, ain't nobody got time for a big exhaust :)

My car is now more quiet than a stock SS, until I crack ze gate

Lol, not everyone has 4k for an exhaust.

Tao is trying to make 400kw with the smallest of budgets, which I am all for. I agree a 4 inch may give you another 30kw, but bang for buck that's a riporf.

Not sure whether to start a new thread or continue in this monster anyway..

Looking at a high flow for an r34gtt. Spoke to toshi and he reckons for the street go the r33 rear housing but for the track the r34 housing.

I am keen on response so thinking of going an r33 housing and the basic high flow. Is that the best one for response and factory look?

Anyone with comparison to the stock turbo? I had a gcg on an r33 and that was really good. I see these HG turbos have more development so hoping they are atleast as responsive as the gcg.

Anyone got a basic HG r33 high flow on an r34 and able to provide the following

At what rpm do you get 18psi in :

2nd gear

3rd gear

4th gear

What power are you getting?

The stock r34 turbo is pretty responsive. I'm able to hit about 8psi by about 2300 in 4th I think. Would the highflow with the smaller housing be about the same (I.e would have bigger wheels but smaller housing so spool up rpm would be similar?)

Toshi reckons the high flow would be full boost by about 4k rpm but on the r33 with the gcg I had full boost by about 3.5rpm so still deciding if I should go gcg or HG.

Many thanks

Try the search function mate, here's a couple I was able to dig up pretty quick

Further updates:

John Reco's R33 skyline. standard engine with cooler, exhaust, fuel and ecu mods. 310rwkws @ 20psi E85 fuel.

I also got a print of John reco's R33, thats the first time I had a proper look at his result. It is running our standard 21U high flow on E85 fuel, and I'm amazed of how responsive it is.

reco21uhf310rwkwe85.jpgreco21uhf310rwkwe85boost.jpg

Result sent in by another member that is currently using our 21U high flow running E85 fuel making a super responsive 311rwkws on 20psi internally gated. That is on a R33 Rb25det stock engine.

boost.jpg

As you can see they make a little over 300rwkw on E85 and the are pretty responsive

Current state my ss2 makes 18psi at 4100

but its under the knife atm and should make 20 by 4000 on flex fuel and external gate... my mates r34 gtt has the u21 (r33 highflow from hypergear) makes full boost at 3700ish on e85 19psi

any of the highflows will be brilliant and the ss is a whole another level of aggressive boosting

if you want response the u21(33 highflow) is your best bet, its not as responsive as stock but its as good as itl get. The op6 (34 highflow) is a tad laggyer (300ish rpm give or take depending on suporting) but has a higher power output. but If you look at going for the op6 i would highly recommend concidering spending a bit more and go for an ss2 Its an unreal street turbo and bolts straight onto the r34 turbo mani and lines up with stock dumps

My 2 cents cheers!

I've had both the OP6 and 21U turbine housings on my R33, look up my results in this thread and make a decision.

If you're used to full boost by 3.5k, going for the 21U version is a no-brainer, especially for a street car. 500rpm difference in response doesn't sound like much, but it's a big difference.

.. my mates r34 gtt has the u21 (r33 highflow from hypergear) makes full boost at 3700ish on e85 19psi

The 21U should be well and truly on full boost by 3,500rpm, mine hits it by 3,400 and is running PULP.

Hi, I've been MIA for few weeks due to an small operation and now back on business. I'm catching up with every one's jobs, they will be all out this week, I apologise for the delay

21ucomps.jpg

The R34 test rig is in progress and will be tuned with the latest SS2 prototype this friday, hopping for 300rwkws+ with 20psi by 3500RPM.

Dyno reading from a high flowed OP6 turbocharger, making 275rwkws internally gated @17psi, pump fuel:

275rwkwsop6hf.jpeg

And posting a small video from twin ATR43SS2.5 powered LS1 V8 maxing out the dyno at 12psi, its apparently making over 1000Mn of torque. Their dyno is getting upgraded, hopefully seeing over 1000HP+ on a full run.

    • 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).
