A bit OT but how are you graphing all your logs like that johnny? Neat and easy to digest :)

it's just excel :)

I create pivot tables with filters then create graphs from it

Alrighty, part where everyone gets excited..

Details:

  • Hypergear SS2
  • 45mm Turbosmart External Gate off Housing (thanks scotty_mn35)
  • E85
  • 1.6bar boost, made more power on 1.5bar
  • IAT shot up to 50 degrees, subsequently lost 3 degrees of timing (I take 1 degree off every 5 degrees above 35)
  • Stock motor
  • Stock manifold, stock plenum

Timing Map:

That thing must feel like a missile when it's on boost. There is a LOT of phat under that curve.

Alrighty, part where everyone gets excited..

awesome result. just out of curiosity did you try to add timing and lower boost in the top end while on the dyno to try pull IAT's down a bit? if so what happened?

Car was just at a dyno day at Powertune so I wasn't controlling the runs..

I did tell Chea to run the car with different boost settings, but at 1.6bar it bled down to 1.5bar. Ended up doing 1x run at 1.5 bar and 2x runs at 1.6bar...

I'll upgrade the FMIC and then hire out a dyno and pump more timing through the motor. Adam at Powertune did say my manifold was glowing red by the 2nd run. Signs of high EGTs and/or flow restrictions.. probably won't get round to doing any of what I said till February.. barely have time to do anything with the car these days lol

Johnny,

Your approach is probably wrong. 50°C IAT is nothing. Certainly not enough to be pulling lots of timing out. You really need to listen for knock properly and decide where/when it becomes apparent and make the tune safely away from there in the usual manner that people have always done. When you're pulling timing at those relatively mild IATs, you're causing high(er) EGT.

You're using E85 which will smother the effect of hot air a lot better than 98 will. Gives you so much extra protection that you're probably massively overdoing the engine protection routine by backing off the timing the way you are. If you wanted to be fussy about it you'd be better off pulling boost off it as the IAT goes up.

Problem is with E85 you can't really hear knock.... I do monitor for knock but regardless of timing or boost levels put through the motor the knock readings are pretty similar (mind you it's just a basic knock monitor I'm using with the Adaptronic).

I was always under the impression IATs past 50 degrees Celsius is bad, thus I pull back 3 degrees at that point.

Most of the runs have been with Virtual Dyno used to estimate torque/power gain. I did some logging when I was at Wakefield too with the laptop under the front seat strapped down.

I can't pull boost as IAT increase as the ECU doesn't have that feature and also I use a dedicated EBC which allows for quick changes of settings.

In saying that the tune isn't complete, I haven't hired a dyno to finalise and push the tune further as I was still ironing out some bugs.. hopefully will do that after the new year once the shop I hire the dyno opens back up for business again.

Ok, so I did some quick reading of a few engineering papers and this came up - although it's for a direct injected motor..

Looks like I may be a little too cautious with the whole IAT vs. Timing.

Just a note 3 day turnaround Maybe??? ,Then 7days to post back WTF??? ,if you go this route make sure you ask for an express post return , don't assume they will post it express unless you ask !! And yes I did call and ask about the turna round time ,etc etc , just sayin so others don't get caught with with a car siting in a work shop

Express option is available to chice from on our site, default is parcel post with insurance. How ever during xmas break delivery time can be unpredictable.

It wasnt Christmas it was last week of November ,I asked if I could check out on line and they said do it COD ,I am just giving a heads up so others don't get caught out .

I have had similar issues with COD it can take Aust post ages. One of my deliveries took a week, sent from the other side of Melbourne. lol.

Not Hypergear's fault. Pay for a courier if you want express delivery.

Yeah COD is often awkward like that. I had waited a while before checking with the post office that said they'd had it for a week... I was never notified. Not hypergear's fault though and the turbo was worth the wait!

  • 2 weeks later...

Hope every one had a lovely new year. :turned:

I've spent a lot of time but haven't had alot of luck with the GTR yet, I've fitted over 20 different combination of turbochargers to it and yet can not get it to reach 20psi any quicker then 4300RPM. Due to the lack of VCT, the head doesn't like boost down low either, result in a violent surge working with smaller turbochargers, Then the only way out is by creating more lag.

How ever I'm narrowing down to a few sets of wheel and housing combinations for the most responsive 400awkws as possible. Will be doing further evaluations with it using adjustable cam gears down the track.

Result sent in by another member that is currently using our 21U high flow running E85 fuel making a super responsive 311rwkws on 20psi internally gated. That is on a R33 Rb25det stock engine.

    • 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.
