Correct Lith, it is a twin scroll setup. I keep looking up sleeves for hidden cards but at this stage it is showing remarkedly similar boost characteristics to the 35r single entry. Its only running gate spring pressure at this stage but until the gate starts open on spring pressure the curve is identical.

Waiting on a wide band sensor to arrive and then we'll hook the boost control up and go to town on it.

Pretty happy budgie so far.

Will it only be run using E85 Noel? Or is a petrol tune being done too?

Nice result so far! :)

Any ETA on that? Surely it cant take long

Sensor was ordered from south this morning Steve. should get here monday/tuesday.

As soon as Sean has a spare spot he will throw it back on the rollers. I think he's quite keen to see where this goes as well.

At this stage its e85 only Mike, However the way it drinks the stuff I may be forced to run a separate 98 unleaded tune. I renamed the car "sugar daddy"

Thats not too surprising then, I'd have expected the 3788R to be a few hundred RPM laggier all things being equal, and a good twin scroll manifold drags things down a few hundred rpm (also tend to help low down/ midrange torque quite a bit too - on top of boost threshold). This is one of the reasons I've considered a twin scroll GT3582R as an upgrade over my single entry GT3076R, I've said before I have a strong suspicion it'd result in a similar drive in terms of building boost but with the ability for more power pretty much everywhere.

It will be interestingt to hear the power results and more importantly, how it drives - could be brutal ;)

If you changed nothing else but went from single scroll to twin scroll (both with good aftermarket manifolds) would the twin scroll make more peak power as well? or does it primarily only assist with low down/midrange power when coming onto boost?

Maybe slight gains up high if you go to a bigger a/r housing than the single entry one, big the real tangible gains are midrange and coming up onto boost - bearing in mind thats for a given boost level, so because it spools faster as well the perceived spool and response will usually be better than what the boost curve would imply... if that makes sense?

Interesting indeed.

On dyno/loaded/4th i take it?

No, that's on the street. Sean had a 20psi boost cut and a 4200rpm cut. I was hitting boost cut at 3900 in 4th. This was pre tune though, the timing will effect how the boost comes on so we'll see if it makes any difference.

Has it got bigger cams? On E85 I'd have thought >500whp on E85 would be a piece of piss anyway... a stock RB30/RB25 head wouldn't really gain much without some head fettling. On the flipside, with some big cams and that turbo - 20psi will justify the turbo but 600+whp would probably be the order of the day haha.

It does have bigger cams Lith. 10.25 270 degree tomeis. The head has had a lot of attention in a minimalist kind of way. given we made 555 with the 35 on a .82 housing I have no doubt we could dial in pretty much anything up to around 6/650 hp if thats what we were chasing.

Nice achievement so far! Going to be a weapon with mid 500hp Noel. You will be buzzing tires like crazy!

Hoping we might finally have it right Mike. Its been a long hard road achieving the numbers with the 35r but it looks like all that trial and error may have cleared the path for the current setup.

    • 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.
