I think Tao's latest version best suits you Birds.

Its called the hyerdrier. Nice high power air out of the intercooler pipework to dry ya hair and NA goodnes. All 90rwkw!! Blistering.

Stao what turbo did Birds test drive? sounds nice

Some people prefer the meaty feel for a daily drive, I wonder what final output it had

Good work Birds.

Be interesting to see your results and impressions.

May make me tempt to get one too :/

Ur going to be playing catch up. Rob and Simon are going OP6 highflows as well. Both on 33's

Honestly people are always supprised. Highflowing gives the standard housing some real balls.

LoL. Power of dreams with a blast of worm air. Here's the result of Turbo Vs NA:

The VCT plug fell out and remain unnoticed. Below is with no VCT:

LOL O RLY?!

A turbo motor without a turbo SUCKED? Who would have thought! Stao today you have earnt your masters of rocket science!

Lol only kidding mate, funny thing to see - thanks for sharing haha

Can come drive it when I'm done ;)

I grabbed a SS1PU from Hypergear and it's been fitted to my R34 making 340RWHP, Damn does it make a difference, comes on solid and holds till redline. Cheers for the hard work on the turbo will keep you updated on how it goes on the track on sunday.

Got to be happy with that, a nice figure. Stao made slightly more on 2-3psi more boost but I doubt it would be that noticable between the two cars.

As long as its coming on as early as it should that should be one very quick skyline

I wonder what it is with a lot of these hg turbos not makin its desired power, ie with this turbo of 280rwkw, is it because of the IG and small actuator, as a lot of the car setups seem ok?? 340rwhp is more like 255rwkw, which is pretty short imho. Same power as some hiflows.. Stao's car seems to make great results tho, I'm saying cos I'm wanting to get one of these- HG or a Kando myself, just that some results seem disappointing.

Will i NEED a G3 to make at least 280? Thats what it seems like, to go one power level up to be sure of making the power level below it. I do not want the lag of the G3 to make 270-280 plus. And then reading the Garret threads, some of these guys are bored of the 'slow' 270rwkw and going for at least 300-320 on a road car...wtf??? I thought 270-280 is the sweet spot..

Choosing a turbo to suit your taste is best done by sitting in cars with them on, they are the hardest choice determined best by TRYING diff turbos on..not reading forums like me. Just my 2c. But i must say i like the lightswitch like power delivery of a tractor spec SR20DET S15 I drove once. True the initial lags not good but the sudden shove was great, it was a jap spec silvia, stock turbo, high boost. The RBs feel much more torquey down low and much smoother n more gradual power shove, which i find boring....but minus the nasty tractor noise... :)

The turbo is just a part, the control result is based on a car that has no restrictive or EPA components, healthy engine, quality supporting mods, tuned by one of the best tuners, so it should be the best as you can get with the turbo that is on it, control results are very achievable.

He already answered to that. and how welling are you making your car road legal?

He's also saying the results you are seeing are the maximum power can be archived. So SS1PU maxed out 280rwkws on 22psi, and 255rwkws on 17psi. G3 maxed out 330rwkws on 23psi and 280rwkws on 18psi. PU maxed out 303rwkws on 21psi, and I'm making 287rwkws on 19psi.

Depending on the mods you are welling to install, as well as the amount of boost you are comfortable to run.

It's just a number dude, don't get so hung up on it lol. In reality, a car with 280rwkw may only juuuust get ahead of a car with 260rwkw. There can be huge differences in power and the reality of it is that there won't be a massive difference in how they feel or how quick they are, it's milliseconds.

My tuner decided that he didn't want to run it at the 21 psi it was set to run he changed the preload down so it is at 17 psi, He confirmed that the numbers it could make were well above what it is now but he would rather wait till I do the metal head gasket as he isn't comfortable with running more than 17 psi on a stock motor.

It will be fine.

simon was running 25psi+ for months at the track with a big turbo with no issue

As others have said, you have to expect variation in results because every car, tuner and dyno is different. I didn't buy the turbo expecting my car to make the xxx rwkw that other cars make with HG turbos...if you do you will probably be disappointed, because there's a lot to so to extract every last kw out of the turbo. Tao went through with me the mods I should do to expect the most power. My goal is to keep my car looking inconspicuous and the trade off is that I may not make the power that a much more illegal looking car will, I'm content with that.

If it does then that's just a bonus of bragging rights, and if that's what matters most to you then you might as well go for the laggiest, number producing turbo you can get for guaranteed dyno queen status. I care more about my 0-100 time and drivability...I need useful midrange power, so as long as there is a big improvement there, then it will have been a worthwhile experience for me.

When people say they get bored of 270rwkw etc. these are usually the people who like the come on strong power, and if you're one for that, then yes it is easy to get used to the pull after a while. But there are plenty of these people who regret going higher and wish they'd stuck with the turbo they had before, after seeing how useless the extra power is on the street and the response sacrifice they've had to make for it. There's only so much you can do with big turbos and an unopened RB25 before you're no longer increasing the area under the curves and instead chasing dyno queen numbers or wheelspin in every gear at 11ty rpm.

And remember...255rwkw is before you introduce E85 to the equation...which can easily net you another 30rwkw+ and a better midrange. That's why I went for the SS1PU, because I didn't see the point of buying one that makes a laggy, wheelspinning 300rwkw on PULP when I can swap to E85 and do this with a more responsive, linear turbo. I'm excited!

My tuner decided that he didn't want to run it at the 21 psi it was set to run he changed the preload down so it is at 17 psi, He confirmed that the numbers it could make were well above what it is now but he would rather wait till I do the metal head gasket as he isn't comfortable with running more than 17 psi on a stock motor.

The head gasket comment by the tuner is rubbish, the standard nissan head gasket has been proven to huge power with aftermarket engine builds. Lots of tuners prefer them over aftermarktet metal ones.

I understand if your tuner is worried about the standard engine overall. Does he have much experience with skylines? A lot of tuners that dont are hesitant to boost it too high as they are not aware of how strong they are.

Give it hell as it is for a few months and then take it back and demand the boost be raised :)

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
