Stao, in your eyes, what would work best if you had 2 options with the ss2, a internal gate ss2 on a brea manifold..or a external

gate ss2 with ext gate put on stock manifold?

cheers

darren

At this power level if using stock mani port matching etc I would imagine to make quite a difference. Pretty sure Abe with G3 port matched and was 350-360kw

Further updates. This is the 2nd SS2 prototype been trailed. More responsive and made more power to previous version. Internally gated.

Max of 312rwkws on BP 98 and 210rwkws by 4000RPMs

Stao is this 100% 98 fuel or could there have still been e85 in the tank for the comparison? The difference between all ss2 models at 3700 is huge with this version way in front!!

Stao do u supply an external gate n low mount turbo package(no brea manifold), if so, what gate is it and how much for package and also for gate separately? Good quality gate?

This has been on my mind

I didnt even give that a thought, buy It's probably highly likely there is eflex still in the tank, because I doubt the tank was drained between the different runs.

It would account for why there is such a large improvement over previous ss2's. I'm sure part of the improvement is also down to stao re engineering housings/wheels as well though!

The e85 has been drained by the fuel pump. And filled up with 20l of 98. Difference was about 10 degrees of timing. The 98 runs appears to be slightly more responsive.

So potentially there could have been 2 or 3 litres in tank before adding 98. If so next time you fill up it might start pinging?

I drained mine off the pump other day and I could still see fuel. I only just got new Bosch pump and weather has been too crap to see how much is left in there. But at least a litre minimum maybe 2

Yeah easily. When i convert to e85 normally have to run 20litres of e85 to help flush the left over 98 then refuel e85 and finish tune

Well my car's on E85 full time now. It keeps every thing clean including engine oil, and E85 servo is just 500 meters off road from where I am. My current pump is wabro with a rubber fuel pickup hanging off the bottom, there could be a 1L of E85 diluted into 20L of 98.

E85 generally makes a average 40kws more then 98 then lets say it maxes at 300rwkws on pure 98 on my setup, generally means maximum of 280rwkw when fitted on stock manifold internally gated.

Either way I'm pretty happy with the final result as it had the most area under the curve for the power level it archived, with brilliant road drivability.

If only it was that simple!

Mitch tax time!!

Then you and I are road tripping to Jez's for a tune on this magic juice.

Stao what would you expect the SS1PU to be pulling on e85 stock manifold.

280-290? Or will it max out

Chuck it on your car and show me haha

Have you thought about how youre going to get home, because it's 400 odd kms and I don't think you will make it on one tank of e85. Is there a servo on the highway that sells it?

Might have to carry a few jerry cans with you?

Well, there are no differences in fuel between the two runs, They all been drained out through the fuel pump, and the pump had a rubber pickup that sit on the bottom of the tank. So the fuel are identical. The 98 was carried in 20L drums and removed on the end of the run using same method. The tank is then filled up with E85 again.

    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
    • Cool, I’m just down Sydney today. Not much time to get online.
