:rofl:

f*kn lolwat????

. Since the car still use factory drain trans, for road use and city driving, it won't be too comfortable.

i reckon it'll be alright ...maybe not ideal but good enough... mines a little doughy around town but its all worth it when sink the boot into it :D

Whilst I agree with you Stao, if you make the assumption that the turbo is well matched (and you'd be the one to tell us how well matched the front and rear of this particular turbo is, given that we're talking about an SS2, not a 3076 here), then if you plot your operating point off the top end of the compressor map then you'd have to think that you were also pushing the turbine side too hard.

The real question here is whether that operating point on the 3076 map is equally as bad on the SS2 compressor.. Actually, it's not. I still agree with you. The real question is whether the SS2's turbine side is too small, but I thought I'd point out that we're looking at an orange map when we're talking about an apple compressor.

Fair point GTSboy

Would have been ideal to use a ss2 compressor map and I actually asked for the ss2 compressor map, but as there wasn't one Stao said to use the Gt3076 compressor map

You're a compressed apple.

Haha :w00t:

Well, if using the 3076 comp map was Stao's idea then obviously he reckons the SS2 compressor will have at least a broadly similar map. Doesn't say anything about the turbine side, but that's life.

And that actually brings up an interesting point. To create a compressor map for a given wheel is a lot of work. There is a metric shit-ton of information in a compressor map. You have to run the compressor at a particular shaft speed and vary the restriction on the compressor outlet whilst measuring the flow going through it very accurately, measure the temperature change of the air and the shaft speed, then do some calculations on some of that data to get the efficiency, just so you can plot a single point on the map. You have to do a whole lot of this at different shaft speeds and restrictions to flesh out the map, then joint your dots up in the appropriate lines and "circles" to create the map. This is within the means of your Garretts and your Borg Warners, but it is probably outside the means of nearly every smaller turbo manufacturer. Just doing it for one compressor is a lot of work, but if you've got 10 or 15 compressors on your catalogue, setting out to map them all would be a daunting task.

A 90T 60mm GT30 turbine is a reasonable comparison.

Us Vic guys even bring out the Cadbury favorites at these functions

I'll do this when you get rid of the Merc and get back into Jap cars :P

That's not gonna happen anytime soon

......Ummmm, cant say I totally aggree with you there hypergear....

A compressor map is made up of the efficiency islands based on a range of factors... one being shaft speed!

As whilst I agree its probably not the most accurate way to tell, it is very evident that blah_blahs engine has already gone over the maximum "efficient" shaft speed of 145,000rpm...

What causes the shaft to rotate? The turbine wheel!

Another interesting fact I learnt today talking to the right people:

An inefficient engine will run a higher timing advance to allow the extra time required to burn the a/f....

The more efficient the engine the less timing it will require with no power loss...

Are you talking about flow or volume?

Volume can be measured the same way a chamber is checked...

But once you've been doing this for over 10years you start to get the hang of it...

Where as many people thrive to get perfect port volumes, the fact of the matter is there is a lot more other important things to consider, as a few cc difference in a port is not going to tarnish a whole engines performance.

Im an odd type of guy...

Many years ago, back when we used flow benches, we were building a race engine, target power was just over 600hp....

Selected aftermarket heads for it, to which we copped a lot of criticism for as "they won't be big enough"

Done our port work to it, and got them flowed...

People litrally laughed at the results and mocked us...

Went ahead and bolted the heads on, and sent it to the engine dyno...

650hp...

So why would I choose to use a flow bench again?

So that was one engine....how do you know you havent gone backwards with others, or if the port is really noisy and turbulent

I dont really care for flow bench results, was just intrested to see what your RB results were

so dont take what im saying as critisism merely intrested

Why? So you can see how close you are to making the flow strip off the short turn. Or how about using a velocity probe to make sure you've got the cross sections right? Or see how well the flow is balanced around the periphery of the valve? Or seeing if the changes you make work better at low lift than high (or vice versa), or if you need to consider a different valve seat shape? etc etc etc.

Edited by GTSBoy

bit off topic but I read an interesting way to make a home flow bench using an afm and a vacumn the other day...

I'm sure you can figure the rest out but I thought it was rather clever...

Let me ask this...

Do you even know what your talking about?

The fact that you are using big technical words only tells me you have no idea what you are talking about so you are just trying to confuse everyone...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
