I'm hoping pump gas cause here we dont have 98RON. Dunno what the knock is gonna be on our horrible gas, might have to go water/meth inj. for a save tune.

Hey Girorostar, yeah most of the fuel you get on the islands is fairly poor ( comparitable to a mix of 91 and cheap ethanol)... I spend quite a lot of time in the carib/lower carib/trinidad etc on private superyachts.

I'd suggest buying 20lt drums of toluene and add a 7:1 mix of gasoline:toluene. Your biggest problem will be that the fuel you get where you are isn't of a constant grade and is usually full of water!

If you tune your car on a 'good' batch of fuel then fill up will a different/poor batch of fuel and drive the car hard you may very well damage the engine quite quickly.

Water will damage your fuel system and will also allow sludge/bactiria to grow in your fuel system (it'll gunk it up pretty quick). The biologicals actually live in the water but feed on hydrocarbons (your fuel) then 'poop' out more water and gas/sulfates etc.

I've helped a few guys with they're imports on the islands, this is what I suggest:

Toluene

Good knock sensor and indicator (eg Power FC)

Good knock correction mapping

Very conservative tune

Single point methanol injection... (seperate tank, pump, injector and controller) Not WMI.

We set up a single point meth injector on a s13 in Sint Maartin... worked quite well!

Good luck

Thanks for the advice Justin, yea the biggest issues a lot of RB motors has on this island is fuel, they dont like it! I will start doing some research on this on how to set it up on my car. Hope everything will go right and i dont blow the engine.

A friend of mine with a r33 gtr made 315rwkw on pump gas here but he has a HKS built motor and another friend of mine with a stock motor r33 gtst made 270rwkw on a very conservative tune cause he had a lot of knock on higher power had to lower the boost. He's still searching for a way to drop down the knock levels, I will tell him about this and see what he thinks.

i will try the 5857 AR:82 on my RB26 !!! after i saw the result on a 1JZ from the state .

what do you guys think ?

If you plan to run E85 and 35psi I think you will be VERY happy.

If you plan to run E85 and 35psi I think you will be VERY happy.

I think you'll find that's about on the money... They're a great turbo if you'r running BIG boost numbers. Don't expect tooo much from 20psi.

so what did the powertune r34 gtr with the 7175 billet on it make powerwise? the powercruise youtube vid is impressive to say the least....

About 0.0197hp/$1 at the fly.

Find the turbos suggested output and do the math, then consider that as a rough minimum.

Your chasing the wrong product, Honda has the power of dreams!

After the last dyno run, I've changed a few things- most importantly the exhaust. Turns out the center muffler has partially collapsed causing higher backpressure in that section of the exhaust. I'm not shure how that will change the power output, however it feels more responsive now.... either way I was allways changing setups to a top mount TD06 and there's no point re-tuning untill I get the new turbo on.

If anyone is interested I have my 5557 for sale at the moment. $1400 with 46mm wastegate and professionally made stock manifold adapter.

So..... anyone got anymore results with these turbos?

PJ??? anyone?

also wat was the rear housing size on the precision billet 7175 used on the white r34 gtr

i want to go a 6765 divided for street and the exact 7175 used on the powertune 34 for show, race n dyno

  • 2 weeks later...

Here's a suitably ridiculous result from an EVO in the states running a new Precision PT6766 (.82a/r hot side) at just over 40psi on E85:

stm_ricer_846_620_dyno.jpg

Mustang Dynos read in the territory of Dyno Dynamics, they are not generous dynos at all - to put down 850awhp/634awkw this is a ridiculous piece of machinery. Imagine one on an E85 slurping RB30? :D

im ordering 1 monday...

built tomei 2.8, 288 jun cams, 2000cc id injectors... powertune twin 044 in tank setup...

wil b interesting, hope to have running by xmas or just afta...

do u think ported "hp" cover would make much difference over the non ported "h" cover?

cheers

On a big capacity good spooling engine you'll need the ported front cover to avoid surge but Rb's are known to spool slowly so you should ok without it...

bigmikespec, just want some advice from an expert.. wat are the pros n con of having and not having the surge cover for "my" application on this turbo?

i want to run about 25-30 psi on the street on e85 and keep winding it up for race til it tapers off the power/boost curve...

cheers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
