Thanks very muchly. What's a new chra worth if worst comes to worst

That I'm not sure about, but the JB CHRA will have the longer life span if anything.

Nothing to worry about.

Wait what!

You changed your mind again?!

No, no.

Before my budget crisis I had a PT 5558 on order. Shit happened and I ended up selling my 6boobs etc and went factory low mount with the SS1PU.

Nothing has changed, motor is mostly assembled (turbo attached now). Just need a new sump pan (mines rooted), rear main seal and ancillary water hoses then I'm bolting it in. Have taken a few pretty photos so once I get closer to results time I will make a thread of some sort. I prefer to lay low when I can and preserve identity but I do want to share the SS1PU SR experience.

I know there have been some failures in the past, but im sure thats old news.

In general JB's have a longer lifespan than BB's and are overall not as delicate.

The main thing I dont like about the PT BBs is that they arent water cooled. IMHO BB's should always be water cooled, too delicate to not.

water cooling is to take heat away from the turbo, which is oil lubricated and cooled also. remembering the turbo gets hundred of degrees going through the back side which is bolted directly to the CHRA you want to get as much heat away from the rotating assembly as possible.

Admittedly I do not follow the supra forums and PJ you already know I've never used a JB PT. Dunno whats to be proven here, but you guys win already.

I did plenty of reading myself when I was going to buy one and found plenty of posts like this saying 'get the BB' but hardly anyone actually having one fail in the past 3 years - I could be ignorant and not reading the right places so who knows. I'll just keep my mouth shut in future, no use trying to help people and share what you think you know when others are only going to shoot you down.

Yay ball bearing party, lets all dance and clap.

Theres been heaps of failures in last 3 yrs...people have been reporting them as being worse as far as i can see

The GFC may have forced there quality control to be not as good as it was...

people aren't shooting you down..no need for knicker nottage..lol, its just you said " you are sure its old news"...i mean

you can't be sure at all? i'd never ever ever buy one, now or in the last 10 yrs

cheers

Isn't water cooling only for the cool down after engine shut down? If you have a turbo timer or let your car idle after a drive then I'm sure it'll be fine

after many discussions with my turbo guy, that was my understanding also...

Be interesting to see how these oil only Precisions last,, should be fine if shut down correctly..

I like the V-Band turbo/manifold idea too, should take care of any gasket issues. watching this thread with interest

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
