tuner rekons to make a maximum of220-230 rwk i need to raise boost to at least 15-16 psi on a the hiflowed slide turbo but is it safe at that boost level with stock internals? here are my mods incase no one knows

-hiflow slide turbo

-pod

-pfc

-fmic

-3 in turbo back exhaust

- ebc

-555 cc injectors (in the way)

-tomei fuel pump in tank ( on the way)

So basically if it took 10 psi to make 200rwk stock turbo and 10psi on a gt30r made for arguments sake 230rwkw. The eninge is under more load with the gt30r?

AM i correct saying psi is not a direct relation of stresses on teh motor.

More correctly put it would be that there are other stresses, RPM being the most dangerous.

:P cheers :O

provideing you can control the thing from pinging have done a few 25s but timeing isues always pop up but you should be ok with these mods you have .

Not so much of a problem these days with high octane fuel and ethanol eg; Shell V Power Racing 100 ron with 5% ethanol.

:P cheers :O

im fairly sure slide turbos are rated to 19psi safely... as far as what the stock internals will take.... i read that anything less than 270-280 rwkw is fine on stock internals.. so in answer, you should be able to easily run 18 psi quite safely.... with supporting mods you should be able to hit 250...

p.s. u will definately need that fuel pump and the bigger injectors to start getting much past 220-230... once you get those put in, go and get it retuned @ 18 PSI (or 20 if your prepared to accept the risks).

also remember that just because 9/10 people can run 18 or 20 psi every day with no probs, im sure there are stories of people running 16 psi on a highflow / bigger turbo that had their stock internals give up... its the risk u take i guess.

I run a Garrett GT3037 56t, .63 rear.

This thing pumps out some serious power, but is also a tiny bit laggy stopping the motor coping a hard hit everytime the power comes on.

I also cheat.........Water methanol Injection..

That cools the combustion temperatures by heaps, and prevents a lot of detonation. At one stage I did a few runs at 24psi and it just kept on pulling. Absolutely no detonation, and the AFR's were spot on.

unless we can see the compressor flow maps for it saying its safe for xyz psi means nothing

its just the turbine speed that is driven by the manifold pressure. the more pressure the later the wastegate is opened, which means faster compressor speed. it doesnt mean its flowing more useful air, just means there is more pressure.

well my tuner told me to run 16 psi so if he blows my car up he's payin for it lolz

you can run whatever boost you want as long as the tune is spot on...

should tune it on 16psi and run like 15 or 14 to be safe if your paranoid...

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
