Whats the big difference between the ss1PU and ss1.5PU?? They are both similarly rated on the website, which ones better for the street?

From results on Stao's car they both had similar response except the SS1.5PU goes on to make 15-20rwkw on less boost. So the answer to me is the SS1.5PU in every way. Pity I bought the SS1 before it came out lol.

SS1PU is the latest version. The Model 1.5xx is the older trailing version. If you are after a responsive 250~280rwkws the SS1PU is the one to get.

LOLZ how did you come up with that turbo?? That turbo would have full boost a fair bit over 5000rpm. Why not run a GT45 turbo on 0.2psi...

As birds said, you want something much much smaller. Either a highflow or an SS1.5PU would be my choices.

Sorry i'm not expert on turbos, I was under the impression RB25de + T come boost very fast due to high compression, coupled with E85, was thinking of something that is a bit laggier to avoid endless wheel spin in a gts-t. Didn't realise it would be that bad :S.

Sorry mate might have been a bit harsh. To avoid wheelspin then you actually want a smaller turbo like an SS1.5 which comes on really linear and smooth. I have 265 wide semi slick tyres and cant spin them with full throttle in 2nd gear (E85 and 280rwkw). Whereas I had a larger ATR43G3 turbo before and that made the same power ~280rwkw but that would wheelspin in 2nd because it was lag and then a sudden hit.

You do want to make sure you dont choke the engine with a tiny turbo/housing but the SS1.5 wont and you will only need very low boost to make 250rwkw.

Just checked the prices so all good. I'm going for the Ss1pu just for the reasponse + less strain on everything to pull a figure like 250rwkw

Thanks for the help now I just gotta start saving the coin

Hope so.. it's going in a 32 too ;).

I'm guessing I want a g4 in a .82 housing.

Mate I think you will happily make your desired results with a PU high flow AND on 98 ron. No need for a big fk off turbo and definitely do not need to hassle of E85.

98 you can fill it up anywhere you go, no need to worry. The PU highflow will also look almost exactly like a stock turbo and will be the closest thing to a true bolt on you can get. Its good for over 280kw i believe so you should get 250 on the DE without hassle.

Add E85 to that and your probably talking 300 but I wouldnt bother.

Yeah but the PU high flow has a lot more lag and when it hits is a lot more sudden then a SS1PU turbo. It does have the stock appearance from the front of the turbo but the street performance will be heaps better with an SS1PU. The PU high flow has a large 0.82 rear.

280rwkw sounds like a lot on 98 fuel with a high comp standard engine?? I would limit it to around 250-260rwkw on 98 fuel and then with E85 you have the extra protection from the high compression to push it further.

I hear you there, except this is my 3rd R32 (gts-t w/ RB25de + t; I have a gts-t and gts4 w/ RB26 already) and as such it's a bit of a project car. I really wanted to give E85 ago and most of the local service stations stock it. I don't really want to start off with high objectives being my first project car and it is still road registered. I want something that will be reliable on the track and keep my meagre skills challenged and I don't want the costs to be crazy high.. a little of everything. It is a choice between a high flow and a hypergear at this stage, but E85 is definite. It seems the dream combo of high comp, turbo and E85 is too hard to pass up for me :D. The power figure was really ball park i'd love to have the potential to easily push higher as I get time in the car.

That's the one I ordered in high flow form, yeah? How is my girl coming along?

You guys are confusing me a bit, I only knew of the SS1.5 (older version) and the SS1PU, the current version with billet wheel etc which is better.. But what the hell is the PU hiflow??? Is it rated the same as SS1PU?

OK, dont get confused..... Stao can highflow your turbo, its called a highflow...

Stao also does what he calls a PU highflow, which is pretty much the same as your regular highflow but stao puts a bigger rear housing on it.

The rear housing is similar to whats on the G3... But it will retain your stock front compressor housing. I believe it comfortably maxed out at 290 or so.

Ahh how nice it would be to start back at a stock skyline.. Simple highflow, cooler, zaust, tune. How nice it would be :rolleyes:

I think Ron may have gotten confused, because Birds said he was getting a SS1PU but then later he said hows my high flow going :D

I was slightly confused too

But then it would be boring..? :O

    • Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.
    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
