Awesomeness

Whilst I would agree that an intangible thought process or emotion expressed as a singular praise word might be a fairer comparison for the "rolling thunder, force of nature deus" that is the SS1PU...I would like to see a mortal at least attempt to compare it to something more tangible and preferably metallic.

My balls.

Of steel.

What would you say the SS1PU is equivalent to?

custom spec 71mm compressor, which should spool as good as a 52 trim but make more power than a 56.

turbine is similar to a GT28 but slightly enlarged. Combats choke and surge experienced on an actual 2871/GTRS.

in essence our cries were heard that we wanted a GTRS competitor. Stao went one better :)

an SS2 is the same compressor on an enlarged GT30 style rear wheel. So a hyper 3071.

I hope I was allowed to share this data :O

Had to read this a few times...prob due to just waking up.

So bigger turbine but same spec compressor as 3071. Correct?

Although prob lighter comp wheel I guess

Its more of the wheel sizes are similar, the actual trim and blade profiles are very different.

Here is a ATR43G4 (big turbo) that's been recently installed on a R33 stock Auto and shift kit with 98. I think thats the most I've seen out of a auto so far and its only on 16.5 psi of boost.

Might have found most of my mid range low power issue this morning.

Exhaust cam was 3.5 crank degrees retarded. Adjusted to 0 (115 btdc)

Inlet was 6 crank degrees retarded. Have maxed the adjustment getting it to 2.5 degrees. Waiting for my son to have a nap so I can jump the belt a tooth and adjust it to 0 (120 atdc)

Also waiting for a quote on a new cat-back system to be made at a mates business. Need to get the bell mouth off and open that up before it goes on.

Hopefully will catch up to everyone down low

Good work Trev! I knew cams would be out!

Can u please share the secret to dialing these? Ive just finished assembling my SR and need to do some dialeroo

*leans in closer*

Hey Martin I've bought a degree wheel to go on the crank and made a piston stopper using an old spark plug and threading a bolt through it so you'd welcome to borrow.

Set to TDC visually. Install degree wheel with TDC about where pointer will be. Wind clockwise 30-40 degrees. Fit piston stopper. Wind backwards and record number. Wind forward til it touches and record number. Average of these is true TDC. Adjust pointer to zero at that position. Remove piston stopper

Set dial indicator on lifter bucket of no1. Rotate to ensure it doesn't get caught as there is stuff all room. Wind til at max lift and zero dial gauge. Rotate around til .050" before max lift and record number. Rotate past max lift back to .050" and record number. Quick calculation to find the average will give you max lift degrees. Compare to manufacturers spec to see if its correct. Adjust as necessary.

Very quick explanation as I'm busy ATM.

You need a degree wheel, dial indicator, piston stopper and tooling to remove balancer at least.

Finally got my car tuned today with the SS3-eg.... pretty disappointed in the result... only made 287.5 kw.

Something must be going on because I think it should be making a bit more, I was def hoping for something over 300.

I was trying to run it on 20psi, but it was only getting to 18-19 and then dropping off to 17ish.. Ive only got the 7psi spring in the gate and the boost controller is maxed out.

Im going to try and put the bigger spring in and hopefully get it steady at 20psi and see what happens.

It was heaps weird, when we had it on the dyno the first run made 285, then we ended up throwing 7deg more timing into it and leaning it out more and it made absolutely no difference.

Setup is:

- SS3-eg

- 6boost manifold

- 50mm turbosmart gate running screamer

- 3" exhaust with only 1 rear cannon

- Greddy inlet manifold

- E85

What do yas think?

got a venom hi flow metalic cat, the cooler seemed to be doing its job, on the dyno it was hot on one side and cold on the other, but I suppose it could be a restriction.

I didnt want to spend heaps on a cooler as they just get fked up so quickly, and I end up just changing them out

that doesnt sound right.. you describe it at really simple which should work in theory.

Whats done to the motor itself? Whats changed (other than turbo side) since the last time it made decent power? I dont think the turbo side could be slowing it down, other than exhaust but that sounds pretty sweet.. If its all 3" straight anyway.

So that leaves a crappy intercooler, intake restrictions or possible mechanical issues with the motor.

Need to consider changes the most, like I said..

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
