I was reading through the thread and was going to weigh in anyway, though looks like you're very much on the page I am reading from - so I'll +1 with with a bit more anecdotal evidence to support it

The ATR28SS15 would be a perfect turbo for your application. I didn't look into some thing even smaller as it doesn't make that much of a difference in response but did loses quite a lot of power. I'

^ lol... maybe I'll use a 3" intake pipe and add in more bends.. that usually gets the suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutuuututuutut going LOL. Anyhow, some real world facts to back up the results.. errbody likes ti

Are the stock BOV and breathers currently plumbed back into that bit from the factory intake pipe?

Any way, further updates with the SS-3 unit. This turbo is made for 350rwkws with optimum response. To make this work at its full capacity as possible I’ve replaced my factory exhaust manifold with an aftermarket item. The new manifold held the turbo at factory position, so stock dump and exhaust lined up fine.

With the new manifold it feels awesome at full open throttle, how ever it also feels like it have added lag down low. I will do a back to back comparison with the SS1PU after this run.

Fairly sure the AU onwards has proper double wishbone and IRS suspension so should drive a lot nicer than a EL, especially with some decent bushings/shocks/springs.

IRS was an "option" for most AU's.

But the handling is better than an EF series 2, so most likely nicer than the EL as well :)

Some interest turbo development Stao :)

I will

Be saving up for this ss-3 unit...!! Looks tempting to me!!..Whats the supporting mods for this set up A-Z list please if u could..im really keen..

You haven't even seen the results yet?

I bought that off a guy on ebay for $400. I think its a coated ebay manifold. I've fitted the SS1PU back on it seems to have lost abit of response on partial throttle, how ever does seems to delivery wider torque range on wide open throttle. I might do one comparison run using the SS1PU first, to see the behavior of the power and torque delivery due to this aftermarket exhaust manifold.

yeah that would be very interesting..

it looks the same design as the HPI, the ebay ones are alot different in pipe design..Unless there is a HPI copy I dont know of..

ED..ok found em in UK..cheap too..

Tuning the ss1.5 on saturday morning. Just fitting the 740cc highflows fron ebay use at the moment. Flow fairly even but spray is like a hose.

would be interested to know how the injectors go.. aswell as the turbo ofcourse

Those manifolds seems to work fine. If it can get me a certain percentage of extra power and torque then I won't need to design a huge turbo reaching target goal.

Also every thing fitted and lined up fine.

I will make this SS3 externally gated through turbine housing.

Tao would you be able to mod any housing of your turbos to be externally gated from the bottom the housing with a 38mm vband flange to it? I'll be interested to see how this housing performs. I wanted to get a old housing on one of my planned turbos a while back modded to have the wastegate on the housing but I kept thinking there may be some turbulence and flow interference in it so ditched it. I really would love to run a screamer pipe lol and have a my dump customised to suit either a plumb back external gate setup or an atmo external gate setup.

Tao how well do you rate those TFI pod filters? I really need to know if my apexi power intake is a restriction...

Yes can be done, how ever big external gates are more effective when working with big turbo in small turbine housings. The SS2 and SS1PU versions has welly matched wheel size and housings. It might not make much difference in that setup.

I got the TFI filter for $10 inside discounted tray at Autobarn. lol. Its a 4inch filter with 2 set of sleeves. Worked fine, didn't had any restrictions at all.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
