what is the next size up that you can build, say 500hp at the crank or 315ish kw at the wheels ???

and would it be possible to keep the lag at an acceptiable level like the SS1PU core ???

Ahh, the holy grail of turbo's. :)

This core on petrol should run around 270kw, any more would require the next size up blades but you reach a point where the rear housing cant flow that much exhaust, and bigger wheels wont improve the output a great deal. Beyond this turbo you would need to go down the High-stall converter path to reduce the effects of the lag. Its a fine balancing act, this one just seems to work perfectly with the stock converter while still making the power.

If you want more power than that, buy my setup. :)

Leon,

You should look at installing a thermo switch between the transmission and the cooler. It only allows the fluid to go to the trans cooler when the fluid is up to temp. Made the car much nicer to drive in the morning.

Check with Craig about getting one.

Cheers

Andy

Good to hear from you again Andy :)

Thanks mate; I have one sorted. Wasn't on my radar to do that until my recent experience, lol. I'm mainly OK with waiting till the trans comes up to temp before driving hard, but an emergency situation may arise (where'd that semi come from?) that requires action, so best to have that covered.

Yes I think I can get it to make 300rwkws+ on pump 98 with a GT35 rear and a large 76mm comp. I'm made 345rwkws at 28psi on that specification based on a R34 OP6 high flow based on pump 98. The stegea should manage similar, but its was pretty laggy.

Are you still running all your other adjustments with the new turbo Leon i.e. the fuel and timing adjustments you had in place with the stock turbo or did you return everything to stock settings with the hi flow until you saw what it was like? So you aren't getting any cuts with the hi flow and your bigger intake?

I was tempted to put the stock intake on to see how that performed, but that's mainly because mine takes a lots of cursing to bolt up & I was over having the car in pieces.

However, I decided to do it right & reinstalled the bigger intake. The fuel & timing settings were left as they were pre turbo change. The only thing I did was turn off the boost control so the turbo is currently running on wastegate pressure (with spring is about 15psi).

Stao's test car was M35 with exhaust & fmic, which pretty well covers most of our cars these days. So I'm confident this turbo would work without issues in anything from a totally stock replacement up to whatever level of tune is inplace. The only caveat is (depending on other mods, like intake) you may be starting to push the boundaries of the standard ECU's operating parameters. That's not really a bad thing; in my case it seems I have to wait a few more minutes for the gearbox to warm up before expecting it to allow full boost. Other cars may not experience the same thing.

Having said that, I reset the ECU before taking it out on it's warmed up test & haven't tried a squirt with a cold gearbox again. Maybe that's all that was needed? But I do find it hard to believe the ECU wasn't already reset after having the battery disconnected for a month.

It would be interesting to see what happens if you left the fuel and timing settings at factory level with everything else in place. I suspect there would be cuts but if there wasn't it would pose a few more questions and possibly answers on this wonderful ecu of ours.

thats massive amounts of boost LOL,

what kinda boost can our stock blocks handle?

so with the SS1PU core to get 270Kw what boost am i looking at ?

could this core be tweeked anymore or slightly changed to get that bit more out of it ?

i dont think the higher stall would suit my driving habits LOL i like to keep it in manual mode rather than auto........ so it's pointless to change it then because im not riding the torque curve on the box???

The amount of boost doesn't matter per se, but the amount of power/torque coming from that boost.

I believe Craig was running 18 or maybe a bit more PSI for his 270kw on PULP.

As for the limit... no body knows. All the blow ups have been det or overheat related to my knowledge. I believe Scotty is hell bent on trying to find the limit though! :laugh:

Unfortunately the only way I could return fuel to absolutely stock is to replace my intake with the OEM one. If I remove my voltage bender with the intake still installed, my car won't even start....

Actually I don't believe there will be any problem with this turbo on a stock setup. Remember the test rig was stock in all areas except for exhaust & fmic. AFAIK it had no other tuning done to it.

i believe im incorrect about this LOL,

so i need a better torque converter to handle the power so it doesnt slip ???

The stock block can handle 45psi apparently as my controller hoses blew of a few times... :unsure:

Alex is right, its the torque that kills rods, and our engine turns out a crapload once tuned.

You would need to be putting out 400kw for the stall converter lockup to slip, mine is slipping due to the 30% torque gains from the e85. Leave it stock until there is an issue or your car gets too laggy to drive. By the way I always drive in manual or the revs aren't high enough to get the power hit. The damn gearbox always wants to be in top gear and 2k revs.

More info to hand. The cutout issue is gone - well at least at the temps that I have here - just by driving a few hundred kms. It appears the same ECU that gives us so much grief can actually do some good. It learnt the new parameters (they mustn't have been too far out anyway) & now has no problems with high load at cold ambient air temps. :)

I would have thought with the colder temps it would hit airflow cut easier Leon, perhaps the key is the intake temps. If the ecu allows more airflow when the air is cool, perhaps tricking the intake temp will net some good gains, especially in summer...

Yes, the colder temps were the culprit, but airflow alone wasn't the cause of the cut. The AFM voltage didn't go any higher then I had experienced pre turbo change, & in some cases was a bit lower when it cut out. So I can guess with some certainty that at least AFM voltage (airflow) & intake air temp inputs combined to screw things up. Before the ECU righted itself I looked very closely at the temp circuit to see what I could do to fool it, & maybe I will continue with that later. Like you say, could be a win for summer.

It doesn't cut at the same voltage each time, it changes with revs and load, depending what cell it's in I guess.

Yes, that's what I observed.

But the good thing is the ECU has the ability to accept new parameters over time, as long as they're not too far out I suppose.

Hi All, I have a Greddy Ultimate with a Hypergear SS2, 98 + E85 in my sights. I am a competent tuner but any tips and tricks will help greatly. Could anyone advise of any tips on setting up the emanage to get around the factory restrictions:

ECU Config: VQ20 Setting?

ECU Jumpers: positions?

Boost/load Cut: MAF clamp setting?

Rev Limit: settings for adjusting?

CEL light: Daughter board for V35?

Ignition retard: Knock sensor removed? Keep out of various map axis points?

Any associated problems running 1000cc injectors?

What is the driving experience like with the SS2? Will I be able to get her up on boost at launch with a std stall convertor and the brake wire mod? Or will I get beaten by mazda 121's off the line (ie: horrible to drive around town). Car has, 80mm exhaust from Dump-no cats, HDI FMIC. OEM intake pipe with pod filter.

Kind Regards,

Matt

    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
