head lifting because too much boost?

be a lazy prick like me and install ARP studs without pulling the head off! That 19 year old OEM headgasket loves it :)

^^ Dodgy carnt...lol

you're forgetting I'm asian after all lol..

didn't you go to the darkside? why you still here? don't forget your turbo roots lol

sprayed more things black lol....

I might delete the charcoal canister and move the catch can there.. too much shit going across the engine bay at the moment :(

Yeah that's not a bad idea, but removing the charcoal cannister and placing it there looks more tidy as well as defective lol.

On a side note, my dodgy install new studs and torque down the head band-aid solution worked.

Was at Wakefield all day today pumping 1.5 bar through the motor and no signs of pressure building up in the cooling system.. yay for 19 year old head gasket and motor haha

lol with a fuel pressure gauge and external gate on show you're fooling no-one about it being 'stock, officer' :P

good result on the no-head-off head stud job then, might have to look at that further myself.

Hey guys, I'm still tossing up between turbos for my build.

To be honest I just want the most responsive and snappy 300rwkw on E85 for the street.

I found a build thread where someone had made some very nice results on the highflow 21U turbo used on a R34.

There are a few options for me but I'm unsure.

SS1PU (I had one of these in my R33 for a few years and loved it, Stao has altered the build of these over the years and they seem to have gotten even better)

R34 Highflow (currently have the turbo so it would be cheap and easy to sort, but I'm unsure if it's going to be nice and responsive)

R33 Highflow (more responsive than the R34 highflow and I'm not sure where this sits between a SS1PU and the SS2 in terms of response and feel for street)

SS2 (stao said this is strong and powerful delivery)

I've looked at a fair few dyno sheets but still can't wrap my head around it all, can anyone lend some input

The SS2 should easily get 300 on e85, like very easily. I'm running 260kW on 18psi very safe tune. It has a bit of lag, but not much, full boost is about 3500 and it just picks up crazy ! I've heard the SS1 is a more responsive version, but makes less power. 300 would be pushing it with the stock turbos, but that's just my opinion.

Pretty much everything I listed there will net 300rwkw on E85, but which is going to be the most snappy and responsive.

Stao mentioned that the R33 turbo on a R34 would want to ping.

not on E85, I've found it just loses power rather than knock like 98RON, it might knock but not audible like 98RON (from my self tuning experience)

Interested to hear the answers to this.

Stay told me the same thing but I'm keen for ultimate response on the r34.

Someone on here got close to 300rwkw on an r34 with the 21u highflow, e85 and blitz return flow.

I'm wondering whether the e85 combats the pinging stao mentioned.

I don't want Lag so very keen to try and make the 21u work on the r34.

About to get some ID1000 to allow running of e85

I knew someone who made 310kw on 19-20 psi on e85 with the u21 highflow.. tbh it didn't feel very quick but the dyno sheet it had a very v8 looking power curve made full boost at like 3700 or something.. blitz front mount, xspurt 1000cc, pfc and hks exshaust

I guess it's a toss up between the SS1PU and the 21U then because the 21U has performed 300rwkw on E85 on fair few setups now. The SS1PU was a beast on my r33 and should easily make 300rwkw.

Stao, you're the man with the kowlwdge. Chuck us all some ideas :)

engineering a new ss2 at moment. should easily take over 300rwkws on pump. will up result shortly. ss1pu makes similar power then 21u but makes alot more torque. there is also a new turbine wheel on thd ss1pu this year, should up hp by 15kws with no lose in response.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
