hi all.

i know what your all thinking :) but.. im in the proces of helping to build up a s14 race (nizpro s14) car that uses a bleed off style boost control:o using stock gtr bov's

im tempted on trying this method.

thing is i cant find any info on it:s like how to configure it up etc etc autospeed has an artical on it but i couldnt be assed to pay for the subscription to read on..:

ps.. its running map sensor. so am i......

I will keep watching this ... My friend in adelaide rigged his Fj20 to work like this. He was told not to do it as the turbine keeps spinning flat out and the Turbonetics may not have the oil system to cover it ....

Guess what ... the car absoulutley Hauled ASS until the bearings cooked...

Nizpro...Simons a smart mofo... he would of had it rigged up through the motec and totaly trouble shot with his vast knowledge ...

There ara few ZOOMs that explain this method ... but be warned

well i think il just give it a crack. using the pressure over type wastgate hook up with my profec b.

not to much info on it anywhere

ps. i know exacly how it works but was looking for some third party input on the subject :(

I can't see how this works so well. First of all you are spinning the shit outta the compressor/turbine. This means more heat from the compressor outlet and more exhaust backpressure (due to no wastegate bypass). Hmm..

Yes its hard to imagine good boost control without any real means of turbo speed control . Sizing a turbo so that the hot side won't choke at peak engine power and revs usually means big so not a real lot of go down low . I suppose if he could control the turbos speed by varying the compressor vent valve accurately he may be able to have a handle on the pumping loads that the turbine side has . In other words if he can "unload" the compressor the turbine has very little to push against so it would tend to windmill faster . The extra rotating group speed and the lack of exhaust manifold pressure would help the trade off of restriction vs turbo excitation but the vent valve actuation and Motec programming would have to be spot on . It would be a real juggle to make sure that turbo speed did not run away with itself and damage the wheels and bearings .

The want to delete the waste gate is valid , they are costly and a pain to fit and plumb but just about everyone uses them in petrol apps . Its a pity that F1 banned turbos when they did because they would have evolved at a faster rate with the development dollars F1 has . The future is probably the VATN or variable area turbine nozzle though how well it can be made to cope with petrol engine EGT's is hard to say . The electronic control will have a large say on how effective it will be .

I think there is a way to go yet with the conventional BB turbo but getting Garrett to give us the wheels and trims we want with effective integral waste gates is the issue . It is not impossible to get integral gates to work well as WRC has proven but it means strict control of turbine inlet pressure (so as not to force the flat valve open) and power through greater airflow rather than vastly higher boost pressure . This is why I thought for a while about something like an integral gate GT3540R but with a smaller trim GT40 comp (50 rather than 56) or the compressor side of a GT3076R . It also means an engine with a good head and cam profiles because the turbo can't do it all by itself .

Lastly look at HKS's GT Pro S exhaust housing and dump pipe design , they went to a bit of trouble to make the waste gates flow path good given the available space . They could make money out of selling GT35/TO4Z/GT40 versions as well .

Cheers A .

The transition from off boost to on boost will be the hardest part. What you want to do is be able to vent under cruise condtions ie- low throttle conditions and then shut the vavle under high throttle angles until you acheive the desired boost and then slightly bleed the required air.

ie Boost control Map - MAP vs RPM with the variable being duty cycle. So at low pressures you have 100% DC on the solenoid so all of the signal to the BOV is removed so as to vent the air. Once the desired boost is acheived you want the signal to be returned to the BOV so it can vent and stop over boosting so you would have 0% DC on the solenoid at this point.

You really want to use a properly designed venting valve. We use them on big HP superchargered cars where you need to vent alot of air in cruise and low - medium speed driving. Procharger make one, from memory it uses a little throttle type system.

using my standard gtr bov's. with a profec b. (knob type) autronic smc. im gonna have a go at it this weekend. :wave: and i shall tell of the results.

il be able to tell if the turbo is to small for this aplication coz is quite an audible compressor. :D typical t04 sound

ok...

final result. using my boost controler set in "external wastegate"mode onto the stock bov's

it workes really well and holds boost very steadily. no spikes or anything :)

the turbo still makes the same noises so its not overspeeding.

but... i rekon i lost about 60kw :) posibly due to turbine back pressure.

so summing up. it works well but you loose power compared to using a wastegate style boost control.

      I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
