Anyone care to share pics of their SS2 high mounted on an RB25? Preferably on a 6Boost manifold.

Also stao, can you run a rear turbine housing like the one on the T67 (which goes straight to Vband and doesnt have your 5 bolt IWG/EWG adaptor) on the SS2 at all? I test fitted a GT3076 on the 6BOOST manifold and it fitted fine but the SS2 front housing hits the cam covers.

I email'd Kyle (owner of 6BOOST) and sent him some pictures and measurements of the manifold. His response was that all manifolds come off the same jig and mine isnt any different to a standard item. He also said

"At a guess id say the hypergear turbine housing is bigger or the offset of the scroll closer to the flange centerline making it bulge out the rocker cover side more and hit. Borrow a proper Garrett turbo off someone and try it.

Regards, Kyle"

looks like you've got 3x options really:

  • Get Stao to get you another exhaust housing, something a little shorter so it brings the turbo down
  • Modify the manifold (probably worst option)
  • Get a Garett Turbo (probably close to worst option also)

That is BS

Ask him why other people using his Rb25det high mount manifold and this particular turbo fits.

All P Trimmed T3x turbine housings are identical. Its the "Area" over Radius that made up that volume which hits the rocket cover. To space it out, this area will have to be minimized, means no longer .82.

Also look how close this back plate is to the head. There is no way this comp housing can fit even the turbine housing is changed.

I've seen 6 boost manifolds high mounted SS2 with .82 turbine before. This manifold is very wrong.

The only way I see it, is by cutting off the manifold flange and re-weld it in the correct angle.

Surely people can understand my situation. I have 2 reputable people (Hypergear and 6Boost) both telling me that it's not their product that is at fault. I just want to know what my issue is.

That's why I asked for pictures of other people setups to be 100% sure that the turbo is fine.

If you look at thr manifold, the angle seems pretty aggressive so it brings the turbo closer to the head.

Can't be the turbo, all the exhaust castings are the same. If that's the case then every single turbo Hypergear sells would need different manifolds each time, however every turbo fits as it supposed to low or high mounted.

Even look at Cal's SS2, has been mounted in the most unconventional way and fits.

It's no big deal to cut and shut the flange to angle it away from the head, but obviously Kyle is unwilling to do that? Poor service indeed... You could possibly machine it, or weld a wedge shaped flange to the top?

I suggest you take it to another fabricator and never speak of 6boost again.

<p>looks like you've got 3x options really:

  • Get Stao to get you another exhaust housing, something a little shorter so it brings the turbo down
  • Modify the manifold (probably worst option)
  • Get a Garett Turbo (probably close to worst option also)
Another option would be a custom made angle spacer, between turbo and manifold.

Which would be weird! I can help out there if needed.

383rwkws with 23psi by 3500RPMs standard spec rb25det engine on single scroll high mount and external gate E85. Thats about the limitation of most power and response. any thing more it starts to chock the engine down low and doing opposite. It feels as stock turbo pulling 383rwkws. No point getting any better response beyond this point.

That was with the old SS2 CBB CHRA, the new one can probably fetch 390rwkws.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
