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.

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

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
