Thanks

Is the ATR43ss2 a lot bigger or ok for what I'm looking at? Don't mind going external gate, prob off exhaust housing.

This is for a track car.

go SS2 with the external hanging off the turbo.. I get full noise around 4100rpm in 3rd and it's on E85.. it is a touch bigger.. I would say 3076R size, but a touch more responsive.

hasn't seen a dyno yet, but Virtual Dyno tells me my shit box is making 317kW lol... however other cars have made over 350kW on stock cams with the same turbo.

I bash mine around the track quite often but takes getting used to.. the massive surge of power usually gets the car sideways (even with a 2 way).

Firstly sorry for being lazy. But what is the best direct bolt in turbo for an R33 gts on E85 shooting for around 400rwhp with as much response as poss. Or is it worth going external gate and or big dump?

Standard high flow will do that fine.

I'll be tuning the internally gated one on BP98 with a Dynapack hub dyno, probably not as tough an audience as you guys are overall used to - though similar to some. Will probably go for around 18psi, but will see how knock limited it is and decide whether to go higher from there.

Attatched is my completely standard unopened 25 with internal gate SS2 on stock manifold and plenum, 1000cc injectors, Gtr intercooler, 3" exhaust, NISTune and 98PULP tuned on a hub dyno 21psi bleeding to 18.

Whats full boost? 4100rpm in 3rd sounds less responsive than a GT3076R if anything

Yeah that is definitely laggier than a GT3076R - not bad for the price, that they seem to make similar power and the fact that they are a journal bearing turbo... goes well when you add up the costs of buying and installing one :) I look forward to experiencing it in person though and seeing what they're all about!

Yep, I'm probably the last person you need to tell that to :) I never ran 20psi deliberately so admittedly I can't quote exactly what I ran there but used to hit ~1.1bar around 3700rpm in 3rd quite happily so I doubt it is any worse.

4th was a different kettle of fish altogether (would hit 17psi before 3500rpm):

:whistling:

Anyway - I (obviously) think the SS2 are a good thing, hopefully will have a better idea of how good soon... but I definitely like to keep it real, as well. Considering the price and convenience difference I think they deliver very very close to one of the most popular Garrett options.

yo Lithium, if you want I can do some logs tonight and send them to you :)

Also I do have my gain set conservatively on the EBC - I find on the track it does like to spike a little thus my boost might seem a touch laggier.

I know I can get 1bar around 3500~3700rpm - just can't remember exact numbers...another thing to factor in E85 will make turbos a little lazier as the EGTs are lower but highly doubt it's noticeable lol

First I've heard of lazier boost response on e85 due to lower egt. ....

another reason why some tuners prefer running lower timing as the car comes on noise to increase EGTs to get the turbo moving

The cooler exhaust temp is obvious. The xtra exhaust volume due to burning more fuel still resulting in a slower spool is surprising.

Stao's examole was 100 rpm later.

So do you guys use soft timing zones to try and induce better spool?

For 98RON I tend to make timing lazy to get it to spool harder, but with E85 I just smash in as much timing as possible to produce the most torque as possible for that RPM.

More torque = more exhaust flow, however all my experimentation is usually graphed in Virtual Dyno or "feel".. will be hiring a dyno soon to finish off my tune.

Here's my current timing map, quite a bit of timing through the motor - but she loves it.

It's not that you're burning more fuel. The amount of moles of exhaust gas is more closely related to the amount of air that the engine breathes. Granted, ethanol produces more H2O and less CO2 compared to petrol, and so there is definitely an increase in total number of molecules. Total mass of exhaust is also higher because of the extra mass of fuel involved. But there is definitely lower temperature, which not only impacts (downward) the actual volume flow rate of gas, but at the same time the total enthalpy of the gas and the velocity of the gas.

I haven't done the maths, and I'm not going to unless we turn this into a proper argument, but you could easily enough calculate the change in moles between the fuels, and given an assumption of a typical 98 and E85 exhaust temp for an otherwise the same engine load (say what? 75C?) you could calculate the actial volume difference, velocity difference, and with a bit more work the enthalpy difference. I think that most of us (inlcuding me) would be hard pressed to say how much of an effect the latter 2 of that list would actually change spool, and not very many more would be able to estimate the spool difference for the first 2 either. But you could look at the % changes and decide if you think it would cause the effect on spool to be +ve or -ve.

Proper argument, proper argument !!!!! :D

I would be interested to see the math on this, and there is extra %s for showing the workings :D

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
