Was an absolute pain in the butt to make. Can understand why they are so expensive to purchase.

Even parts:

T28 to 3" intake adaptor $60

3" donut $80

80mm pipe $50

3" to 80mm silicon $20

80mm to 80mm silicon $15

Plus 5 hours labour

Turbo is on and running at wastegate pressure. Will have to check the logs to see what that pressure is. I did screw the gate up tighter by around 3mm more preload.

The turbo is very quiet. Response wise it now never feels like a normally aspirated car it always wants to spool. So normal driving is much much better. Feels like a lighter car down low.

I'll go out again in a little bit and do some logging to over lay the old vs new data. Overall the experience is changed to the sense that it now doesn't feel like a high flow. The power feels more linear rather than nothing then sledge hammer. I've found similar previously when going from straight blade to a curved Blade compressor wheel...obviously this has more than one change.

Boost response from my logs.

Big Boy vs SS2 Rev4

1 -.2

2.1 1.2

2.5 1.4

3 1.5

3.9 2.6

4.1 2.6

4.5 2.9

7.7 3.4

8.3 4.3

12.2 6.4

12.6 7.5

13.6 7.9

17.3 11.7

Response looks to be around 300 rpm better over the SS2 Rev4.

Running 20psi off the gate with it wound tighter

than it arrived by 3mm. Stable boost through all gears rather than lower boost for lower gears of the SS2 Rev4

Light throttle off the line testing response (27% throttle)

Keen to get some more boost into it. Pulls very well at only 20psi.

This is a big turbo that is very easy to drive as a daily. Expecting some decent numbers. I have a center muffler to change out that I noted had a 20% restriction inside and then I'll up the boost and dyno.

Boost now at 28psi. Try's to change lanes...in 3rd...I don't have a proper LSD being a non ARX. I've previously had a 33 4 door 5 speed auto with a RB26DETT that I ran an 11.8s quarter in (project 11's from ZOOM magazine) the Stag feels faster...

I've maxed it out with a bleed valve anyway

1st 22psi

2nd 25psi

3rd 29psi

4th ??

If I synthetically induce load with the brake I get more boost.

Played with the timing. Going from +6 to +8 degrees of timing up top makes a very noticeable difference.

1st 26 degrees

2nd 24 degrees

3rd 18 degrees

My turbo is being done atm by hypergear. I went the m35rv1. Not hoping for huge power just more then stock. Iv also gone hdi intercooler, am performance dump and mid pipe, am performance suction pipe and 14psi actuator. Will i hit any sort of cut with these mods or will the ecu be able to adapt?

You may possibly max out the afm. With similar mods prior to tuning I was hitting afm cut. But plenty have had similar with no issues.

    • As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view. 
    • I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways. 
    • Holy hell! That is absolutely stunning! Great work!!!
    • It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
    • I don't think it's a good buy, the trend looks bad     lol.
