Had a big day yesterday. I've had both new comp wheels trailed. Both of them are super responsive, feels like stock turbo pulling big power. Results are based on E85 fuel, high mount and plumbed back external gate.

The new billet SS1 with 60mm wheel:

Maxed out at 276rwkws, made 20psi by 3500RPMs. This turbo is bit small for a Rb25det, it is perfect for a SR20det and Rb20dets. when used as a bolton turbocharger internally gated with pump 98 it is good for around the 220rwkws mark.

The SS1.5 made 298rwkws peek, also 20psi by 3500RPMs. This turbo can be used on Rb25det, Rb20det or Sr20dets. Used as stock bolton on pump fuel, it is capable of around the 240rwkws mark.

Stao I had been waiting for these results for some time now, but I can see that the SS1PU on 98 fuel is still trumping them in every way?

On 98 the SS1PU (71mm) has more power and torque @ 3000 and 4000 RPM than both. In theory the 60 and 64mm compressors should at least have more @ 3000 and I would have thought the 64mm would have more at 4000? Especially considering the 60 and 64 were tested on E85 and highmount and the SS1PU was not.

Ultimately I cannot see the SS1PU doing anything but smashing these turbos in every way once on par. Considering your SS1PU result was on the stock manifold and 98, and these are on a highmount EWG with E85.

Any thoughts?

Maybe that turbo combo is just in a sweet spot for diminishing returns with the engine & setup you mentioned. Not too small to choke the setup, not too large that heat or other inefficiencies become apparent? :blink:

Yeah, I'm wondering if its something to that effect or if the SS1PU is just superior.

By COB next week I will know just how well the SS1PU performs on my SR.

What trim is the 60mm compressor wheel?

It doesn't show much on the dyno as it is 4th gear 100% throttle. But through every day driving using 20%, 30% or 50% throttle the difference is very noticeable. And this is probably as responsive as it can go in terms of not chocking the engine.

I've also trailed two bigger turbos yesterday, while the maximum that I could reach was 370rwkws regardless size of the turbocharger. Which is probably at factory cam shaft's limit.

Below is G3 in Type A rear housing:

and SS3 in Type A rear housing

After comparing results it appears the SS2 is probably one of the best turbos in its range for Rb25dets with factory cam shafts. It can perform reasonably well internally or externally gated and used as a bolton turbocharger.

While the SS1.5 and SS2 are the best turbos for people chasing mild power while maintain factory's driving ability.

The Billet SS1 and SS1.5 would be an excellent upgrade for factory Rb20det and SR20det's interms of mild power and response.

Also is the ss1pu overlayed in those results in pink or not if so seems to make more power and torque nearly everywhere down low there's barely any difference seems the better choice

If the ss1pu result was on e85 aswell not 98 should have made up for the power and response down low

Pink is also ss1.5 the whole sheet represent the 1.5 with different boost levels. Also it could because the SS1PU was trailed on a stock manifold, the billet SS1 and 1.5 is definitely more responsive.

Turbine side of the SS1xx is identical, only the compressor size is different, theoretically small comp wheel deliver better response. I've used a large .86 turbine for the Rb25det, Smaller .64 turbine housings are used when configuring SR20det and Rb20det engines.

Because I didn't have a ready built SS1PU on that day other wise it should make very decent power on the high mount setup. Will trail that on my next visit to Trents.

With the SS1PU If you can run 23psi of boost, they can make up to 280rwkws on stock manifold internally gated. Other wise they generally be making around the 260rwkws on 18psi.

I'll see how gtscotts car goes what cams you running in your sr20

Mine is running Poncam type R's 256/11.5

Also a freshly built motor, bc springs/retainers/gears, cp pistons, manley rods, 850ccs, the works. The only thing im worried about is my HD clutch, fingers crossed on that front.

It will be dropped off at unigroup on Tuesday and ill be telling them to put my backyard skills to the real test.

Haha I know that feeling. Goodluck mate

lol thanks man. so far so good, it runs well and sounds solid without a drop of oil or smoke.

Its taken me 6 months to build it, funds permitting, so Im really looking forward to a rewarding result wherever possible.

Sweet same place I get my car tuned Unigroup yavuz is a great tuner

Got the same cams aswell buts yours has VCt as if you had larger cams would be laggier but more top end

What boost you going to run ?

Are you going to test it out at wsid after ?

Edited by hy_rpm

Non VCT man, I ditched the VCT because its too problematic in the SR's. Went with S13 type cams and got adjustable gears instead.

I'll just let them boost it till it stops making power to be honest lol, yeah I will get out to the creek once its all done for sure. Never been before though so for the first few times I plan to be just watching the traps to see if it backs up the power. Dont have any bags either so a little worried about what tyres to run too.

Further update: This is SS2 turbocharger have trailed of our newer brass bearing setup with alternative oil delivery gallery. Video shown turbocharger after the car has been shut from idle. On road it starts building boost and build boost to full just noticeably faster

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
