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.

All good, I'll get my local guy to do it.

I've decided to go the ss2.

How much for an ss2 with everything required to bolt it up and what pressure is the wastegate actuator set to stock?

The turbo fits stock manifold, dump, water lines and oil drain. You will need a proper metal induction pipe to be made and a 2.5inches silicon hose in 90 degrees. You can pm m35scotty for the induction pipe. Manifold spacer is required and supplied, 4 longer manifold studs are required.

The actuator is set to around 17psi, final boost level depends on how free flow every else are.

I need lower boost than that, ie ~12psi. That's what my car is currently running so need to get it around there so it's somewhat driveable. Is that possible?

Probably best to control boost with foot. if the initial boost level it set too low, the turbo will not be able to hold boost up top.

Do you have a ~10psi actuator you could supply fitted to it with the 17psi one that I can change to later?

The car won't see much use until I get some injectors and a tune but I do want to be able to drive it in the mean time if necessary and trying to limit the boost with the throttle is just not practical. It's not my daily so it's not likely I'll need it but if I do then it'll be a 400km day in traffic so boost needs to be kept under control properly.

If i set the internal gate at 10psi. When supporting mods are available, this turbo will not hold any boost that is beyond 16psi. Itnwill not make the target power. I can make a flow restrictor that sits on front of the turbo instead.

Can I not switch to a higher pressure actuator once the injectors and tune happen?

Its the size of the gate of the gate. The actuator tension has some effect in mid range but not enough control in upper rev when back pressure increases.

Hey stao, have fitted up the SS2 you supplied to my brothers R33 , runs at 0.8bar, even at this pressure it pulls pretty hard, I would compare it to be very similar to the GT3076 and GTX3076 I had on my car,

although his car seems to be one of those cars that just hauls.. lol

The gtr is for sale, from experience it will take a while that leaves me with plenty of time. Im going back to rb25det and looking to start a new venture modifying x6 turbos

The xr6 turbo venture will be interesting, where are you going to post results to that?

will suit performance rb30 stuff better than some stuff you sell atm which is rb25 based and chokes on rb30s

cheers

Hey Stao,

Finally got around to fitting a 21U highflow i bought off you half a year ago as the gt2871rs finally died from track abuse lol.

Couldn't be happier with performance. Similar (and i think slightly better) response than a gt2871rs but much stronger mid and top end when on hi boost.

Final figures were 21psi for 305rwkw track friendly tune, wastegate pressure gave 270rwkw which was around 18-19psi.

Tuner mentioned he was very surprised by the turbo and impressed with the smoothness/power delivery.

I'd offer dyno printout but we tuned it on crap road tires and high boost just ended up wheelspinning on the dyno haha, causing a really jagged powerline.

Will also mention power comes on much more progressive than my old turbo, so much so that even at high boost, my car grips 2nd with no fuss and this is all on a circuit setup so camber, toe, stiffer springs/dampers etc.

Thank you :)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
