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 :)

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
