i thought the sards are 850cc? or are they 800's?

Weve half fitted the water/methanol injection and got a to4z on the way. haha all these threads and people going on about to4z's and how good they are, plus the figures seem to be there. So hopefully here comes 600bhp with no knock :) very very big smiles.

I tuned a GENIII the other day that had a T04Z on it made 320rwkw on about 1 pound of boost. I ran the car with no spring in the actuator to determine if the 50mm external gate was large enough, it was. Was really impressed to see that figure.

Also in regards to your traction problem - have you tryed TPS based boost control?

I believe i said this already mate

"Ive found so far that foot control and patience is a big thing. Flat to the floor doesnt always work as well as you might think."

In the process of learning that one mate, getting all the lead outta my boots :)

Why the sarcastic comments?

I wasn't being sarcastic.

so let me get this right. Your suggesting letting the turbo free spool with no spring control via the waste gate and controlling the boost/power purely by the pedal?

No I was just testing wether a 50mm gate was large enough when fully opened to control that sized turbo all the way to the rev limit - and it was as it only ran about 1 psi of boost at the rev limiter. I was suprised though as it made 320rwkw about 120rwkw more than a standard car.

What boost controller are you using?

currently only the boost kit that comes with the powerfc. We are looking towards an autronic in the near future, how i came across your chips whilst going around old posts.

So current boost kit isnt that great.

TPS boost control would feel rather strange after being used to a turbo snapping on hard at part throttle. Would be quite a good idea. What EBC supports such a feature?

Sounds like a really good idea, would make throttle control much easier.

MOTEC and AUTRONIC both have TPS based boost control. We use our xede to do TPS based and semi closed loop boost control on XR6T(as they need it). THe way it works is by nesting two 3d maps. ie 1 Map is a wastegate solenoid map with MAP and RPM being the axis. The other map being a straight multiplier table of the first map with TPS and RPM being the axis. So when you dont want boost you dial it out of the with the multipier table.

The problem with alot of EVC is that once they see a set amount of throttle on board say 20percent, they then aim for the desired boost.

traction...weve only got 500bhp atm and it doesnt exist. starts are shit, but when your moving its fine. Ive found so far that foot control and patience is a big thing. Flat to the floor doesnt always work as well as you might think.

But were still working it all out. It will get better.

Shane are you coming to the next track day on nov 28...cause i will be attending that, so if your there come and have a look at the car, or if your car is ready perhaps i can have a look at that :)

I should be there with the car, if the box doesnt break inbetween now and then :). Sump goes on tomorrow (well thats the plan) and then off to the exhaust shop next week and then to get tuned. So 2 weeks should be all running sweet.

if you don't mind me asking what sort of cost were they??

and where'd ya get them from

$635 from greenline

When i was talking to matt spryr from PITS he actually said for a track car use the power fc. Main reason he said was it had the knock sensor, unlike the autronic.

Unfortunately just because the boost was held at 1 psi doesn't mean the w/g is big enough, as it only has to bypass 320kw of exhaust gas to hold boost there, when the car starts making boost, there is heaps more exhaust gas for it to control.

True but we only want to run around 6psi - it just gave us an indication of where we are going. The customer originally had a small gate before changing to this one.

How do you get over the kph difference with a multi ratio (5 speed / 6 speed) manual gearbox? Keeping in mind that aerodynamic drag rises with the square of speed, but the horsepower absorbed rises with the cube of speed.

A simple example;

The boost limit (power output) for 2nd gear, 50% throttle at say 80 kph would need to be entirely different to the boost limit (power output) for 4th gear at say 180 kph. But the rpm would be the same (similar).

:P cheers :)

:O cheers >_<

Nest another table - that pulls the desired boost out w.r.t low values of VSS.

That means 1 Map and 2 Tables

Map 1 is the wastegate solenoid map with MAP and RPM being the axis

Table 1 is multiplier table of the first map with TPS and RPM being the axis

Table 2 is another multiplier table of the second map with TPS and KPH being the axis

MAP + RPM + TPS + KPH = ooops, that's 4 dimensions

How do you do that on a 3 dimensional map?

:rofl: cheers ;)

    • Or just put in a 1JZ, and sell me the NEO head 😎
    • Oh, it's been done. You just run a wire out there and back. But they have been known to do coolant temp sensors, MAP sensors, etc. They're not silly (at Regency Park) and know what's what with all the different cars.
    • Please ignore I found the right way of installing it thanks
    • There are advantages, and disadvantages to remapping the factory.   The factory runs billions of different maps, to account for sooooo many variables, especially when you bring in things like constantly variable cams etc. By remapping all those maps appropriately, you can get the car to drive so damn nicely, and very much so like it does from the factory. This means it can utilise a LOT of weird things in the maps, to alter how it drives in situations like cruise on a freeway, and how that will get your fuel economy right down.   I haven't seen an aftermarket ECU that truly has THAT MANY adjustable parameters. EG, the VAG ECUs are somewhere around 2,000 different tables for it to work out what to do at any one point in time. So for a vehicle being daily driven etc, I see this as a great advantage, but it does mean spending a bit more time, and with a tuner who really knows that ECU.   On the flip side, an aftermarket ECU, in something like a weekender, or a proper race car, torque based tuning IMO doesn't make that much sense. In those scenarios you're not out there hunting down stuff like "the best way to minimise fuel usage at minor power so that we can go from 8L/100km to 7.3L/100km. You're more worried about it being ready to make as much freaking power as possible when you step back on the loud pedal as you come out of turn 2, not waiting the extra 100ms for all the cams to adjust etc. So in this scenario, realistically you tune the motor to make power, based on the load. People will then play with things like throttle response, and drive by wire mapping to get it more "driveable".   Funnily enough, I was watching something Finnegans Garage, and he has a huge blown Hemi in a 9 second 1955 Chev that is road registered. To make it more driveable on the road recently, they started testing blocking up the intake with kids footballs, to effectively reduce air flow when they're on the road, and make the throttle less touchy and more driveable. Plus some other weird shit the yankee aftermarket ECUs do. Made me think of Kinks R34...
