My money is on gtsboy

This. I half wanted to weigh in here too, but I'm sticking to my "Try not to care too much about forum conversations" pledge and he has a habit of saying things I am thinking anyway so I get the enjoyment of it without the frustration of writing lots of stuff and finding a lot of it falls on deaf ears, or gets recycled and then regurgitated back to you as though you are being taught something so this works much better for me :)

The whole way this started was comparing like setups anyway, its going kind of off topic anyway - we end up down a path of levels of extrapolation in the comparison getting bigger and bigger and it reaches a point where we may as well say "BLARH my Dad is bigger than yours". If no one else does I'll try and collect some useful data on the SS2 when I get into tuning it.... I kind of wish I still had GT3076R log data on hand, but either way its clear than the boost threshold difference is probably trivial which makes the SS2 a good thing, again because of how convenient it is price and bolt-on wise.

Yo Lithium, logs attached!

Looks like I get:

1.1bar at ~3600rpm

1.5bar at ~4300rpm

However like I said earlier, my gain is set pretty low

Also here's a virtual dyno print out, not sure how accurate this is either lol

Awesome, good data sir! Will check out the xlsx when I get to a computer but that gives a good idea. Very very similar to a GT3076R, solid looking power too :) I know VD had issues with MAP in he past, I assume it still does but still... seeing 3.6 bar on the pressure plot for a stock 25 makes my eyes water haha.

Just confirming, is externally gated?

Cheers for sharing :)

Of course you can!

Just download it, choose the right car/tyre settings and upload your logs.

You'll need to trim the logs though so it's only one WOT run in 3rd or 4th. I tried to upload an entire log and it turned out like a mess lol

I think the 2 conflicting examples of spool of E85 vs petrol goes to the heart of the matter. I am no expert but I thought I'd put my musing in here.

I'm assuming it does indeed come down to heat in the exhaust flow which comes down to comparative AFR during spooling. If tune E85 and petrol to the same lambda during spool then the extra E85 mass at a given lambda will reduce heat in the exhaust compared to the petrol tune and reduce spool. If you tune E85 to a bit leaner during spool then this effect will be minimised and perhaps even allow E85 to bring on boost sooner due to the greater power & heat generated. Since E85 gives a wide sweetspot for MBT then it does allow it to be a bit leaner during ramping up without affecting timing.

^^ This is probably very true.

If you take the freedoms given to you by E85 and run with them, you will almost certainly be able to overcome the cooler exhaust effect.

The reason I said I wasn't going to do the math is that I was sitting in San Fransisco Airport United Lounge between a 6 hour trans con flight and a 15 hour trans Pacific flight. Simply wasn't interested in anything that even seemed remotely like the work I had been doing for the previous 3 weeks. Now that I'm home, and not going to the office this weekend or Monday, I'm still not interested.

Maybe later.

I'm thinking better torque timing in the spool phase but injector performance would play a part here . A big old world injector won't react or probably atomize as well as a modern one so being rich here is probably safer overall .

Ill tell you this

My tune with the ss2

98 = ~355whp @ ~18-22 psi

85 = ~345whp @ 16 psi

The 85 tune has alot more midrange, comes on power alot harder.

Its also faster...proven at racewars.

Do you have the torque graphs? I would be interested to see your torque gains running similar power output, on the same turbo.

Updates on the GTR. 130KMs drive to see Brandon at Brae fabrications. It is now now high mount installed, running one of our 50mm external gate.

Don't know if this is a N1 GTR. Factory turbochargers removed are busing bearing N1s with steel turbine wheels. That explained all the extra power.

Turbocharger used for this evaluation is our latest billet SL20.5

I've heard few people mentioning that the Rb26dett engines are laggier at spooling up the same turbocharger as if it is installed on a Rb25det due to the lack of VCT unit. It didn't feels like the case. Be interested to see what the dyno says and comparison against standard Rb25dets using the same turbocharger on similar setups.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
