weekend car only - i managed to get 5000km out of it but i was prepared to rebuild which is why i didnt really care.

ring land collapsed - started breathing heavy & lost comp in no.6 cylinder (usually 5 or 6 will let go 1st as they carry most of the heat)

Fair enough, my point would be lots of factors other that outright power could be the blame for the rings collapsing. A lot of those risks are reduced when using ethanol based fuels :)

I'm not going to rebuild but happy to drop another stock donk in the hole!

What caused the failure?

It's probably only a matter of time but I don't drive it a lot and only use 1.3bar most of the time, which makes 350rwkw with correction off or 373rwkw with correction on

too much boost for stock internals - with forged internals this wouldn't happen

If you get 6-12 months out of the motor it is probably cheaper to just keep throwing second hand bottom ends at it than to build one.

Would you consider over 150 power runs on a stock CA18DE+T with 56psi boost too much for stock internals?

Engine was still ok afterwards too.

I think Sean at EFI was running 610rwhpon his RB26 with stock internals for ages. That was on gas though. Still didn't break a piston though. It has a lot to do with the quality of the tune/tuner

well ive popped 2 bottom ends to date, tuner is highly reputable (crd).

i wish i could get away with a factory bottom end - im sure many others on here do as well :(

if you want to push it hard, it is only a matter of time

mate i thought you were joking when you said you were putiing it on a hub to see how much power it could make.

not a bad result still fell short of the 3076 though hahaha :whistling:

Why would I joke, I nearly got convinced to do a run with 1.9bar and 8500rpm but managed to contain myself!

By 0.4kw haha

I'd rather have my power curve than yours :)

we should get the 2 graphs over-layed easy to do since they are making the same power.

but

3000rpm yours 60kw mine 95kw

3500rpm yours 85kw mine 140kw

4000rpm yours 130kw mine 240kw

5000rpm yours 310kw mine 410kw

i know what i would rather :whistling:

There you go :)

Yours has a much smaller power band compared to mine, it does come on a lot harder though!

Am i reading that correctly? You made over 400rwkw with a 3076????

Did you draw the dyno graph yourself? :)

2.2bar and E85 I believe

yeah I am confused, unless you somehow run 30psi with ridiculous temps and meth or something? though would have thought the compressor would be way out of flow by then

As above, boost apparently went to 32psi but the compressor ran out of legs and power dropped a lot top end

I was there that day and the most i saw it spike to was 28 and holding 26psi...I know which turbo i would rather in that comparison, the Kando seems to be a good cheap option but it definately isn't a competitor to Garrett imo (nor should it be i guess for the money). The above plot proves that. BTW who in their right mind would rev their stock 25 to 8000rpm just for a number. Crazy....

yeah it definatley was 32psi at peak power dropped off to 27psi.

Definately thought it was 28 lol....Cold mornings/evenings will be interesting. Time for a swirl pot and another 044 me thinks.

I'll print off a overlay of a GT3076R vs Kando T67 with very similar mods and on the same dyno... You will be very surprised how similar they are :)

If I wanted to I can do a 13-15sec ramped run and make my graph come on that early like "wasnt me" run.

I'm not revving it to 8000rpm for a number, it's going to be like that all the time... If I wanted a number it would be going to 9000rpm

Not really crazy, most the drift guys over here run 8500rpm and sit on limiter all day without too many issues

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
