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

    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
    • Rotisserie is fully assembled apart from centre connector which obviously isn't required until the car is on it. It packs away fairly neatly and doesn't take up too much room. (Now that I actually have some room after my clean up!) Overall very happy with the quality of it.  Assembly was a piece of piss.  The only thing I didn't like was that the pins that lock the rotation lock wheels in place were a bit of a dick in a bucket scenario. It allowed the arms to rotate a significant amount even when locked in place.  To fix that i measured up the hole and went and grabbed a couple of 18mm fully threaded bolts and a thread tap to suit. I ran the tap through top and bottom so it was threaded both ends.  Then just threaded the bolt through both sides.  It has made a massive difference which hopefully you can tell in the before and after video how much difference it made. 20250207_161431.mp4   20250207_161431.mp4 Hopefully back working on the car over the next few weeks.   20250207_162801.mp4
    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
