match bot says it can be done at 2600 but i'm not crossing my fingers for that lol but around 2800-3000 is definitely acheivable. The S14 made full boost at 3000 and that was 2L and 9:1 comp with a .86 turbine housing. The compressor wheel is smaller on the 7064 than the 2871r and the turbine wheel is lighter. It's not a big turbo. The anti-surge comp housing and divided turbine housing just make it look big.

No it will hit 14psi as soon as possible (est. around 2800rpm) and hold flat until the torque starts to drop off (est. around 4200rpm) and boost will slowly increase to counteract the drop-off of torque and hold the torque flat. The turbo is not too big for the application at all. Upsize engine and plan to run low boost and make efficient power = bigger turbo required.

On match-bot, with NOTHING changed but going from 6758 to 7064, efficiency is higher across the board because the 7064 has a lower trim compressor wheel and anti-surge housing. Also the exhaust manifold pressure is considerably lower with the 7064. The twin scroll setup helps response as well.

Going by some of the estimations you've made there I'm wondering what you've put into matchbot, and suspect it could be giving you quite "off" results based off what it has been given to work with. I am also a bit suss of the fact that you only changed the turbo - there are various other numbers which should be updated to suit the turbo to make the calculations work correctly, if you didn't do that it would explain some weird results as I think matchbot defaults to a 7064.

I ended up giving matchbot a bit of a crack with your setup and the points of compressor efficiency were all within a couple of percent of each other between the two turbos - especially at so low boost level you won't see the result of that one way or the other.

I also found that the exhaust manifold pressure (going by my calcs) for a .64 EFR6758 only exceeded that of the EFR7064 at around 5000rpm, and peaked at 17% higher at redline. The calculated required wastegated sizes for the EFR6758 and EFR7064 respectively were:

2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000

11 17 25 28 30 32

4 12 21 25 27 28

I agree the twin scroll is a nice advantage, but maintain that (in my opinion) the advantages of the TS EFR7064 do not outweigh the fact it is too big for your requirements. I'd love to see full boost at 3000rpm with one, or even with a EFR6758 - but it just ain't happening in the real world.

Lithium, I won't be doing a flat boost curve because the clutch or gearbox can not handle any more torque through the midrange. Instead, less peak torque will be made but higher average torque across the RPM range because torque will not drop off at all until about 6800rpm so it will be a very fast car.

This makes the most sense to me - how did you decide on a 'pull the plug' torque level? And how do you know what boost level will reach that if you don't know what power it is going to make?

This is compressor efficiency followed by exhaust manifold pressure for the 6758 up top then the 7064 below. I'm very comfortable with match-bot and the VE numbers are definately in the ball park. I'll post links later as I didn't save them.

2700 3600 4500 5400 6300 7200

59 68 72 74 74 68

9.4 11.6 14.3 18.4 23 27.2

63 73 76 75 73 71

7.3 9 11.3 14.7 18.5 21.3

less peak torque will be made but higher average torque across the RPM range because torque will not drop off at all until about 6800rpm so it will be a very fast car.

My 30DET produces torque much the same way - peak torque from 3400-6900 in a wide dead-flat plateau.

It makes for an incredibly easy drive, as for track work it is never really out of its "best" zone. Reviewing data it seemed to matter very litle whether some technical sections were run in either 3rd or 4th gear - point to point there was little variation in time.

With that style of delivery there does not seem to be that "rush" generally associated with some turbocharged engines, and traction relatively easy to find, even running 225/50 semi slicks and knocking out a conservative 415rwhp. I get Brad's approach, although it might not be for everyone's preference.

Aside for the whole full boost before 3000rpm thing out numbers can't be too wildly different:

21.3psi = 2.45 pressure ratio

27.2psi = 2.85 pressure ratio (~16-17% higher for the .64 EFR6758 at worst)

And the compressor efficiency is within a few points at worst - so obviously the EFR7064 is a bit more efficient, the twin scroll advantage can't be denied but when you look at all those details to me it shows that you are only JUST scratching the areas where it might show a bit of advantage.

Looking forward to seeing the results, they should be decent - it will make very respectable power, and be a cool looking power curve as well as make an SR20 feel revvier than they naturally do. Definitely not how I'd have gone about it, but each to their own... seems like you've put some thought into it and know what you want - just don't hold your breath on full boost before 3000rpm, or even 3500rpm to be fair.

Obviously with Ethanol in the fuel, EGTs will be lower, BSFC witll be lower which sorat cancel each other out to an extent so I just left the default petrol figures in there. VE is a guess for the engine with Tomei Poncams.

Looks like we used very very similar settings - almost identical actually, except you are a lot more optimistic about spool. Looks like you had a fail with the VE plotting too, the EFR6758 is 71% efficiency for the 7200rpm spot.... see what I mean about them plotting through very similar? Interesting that the EFR7064 is a bit more generous at low rpm, probably the antisurge housing - ironically the EFR7064 will be lazier at those RPM so in real life the EFR6758 will probably "stand up" quicker at those rpm, more than enough to nullify the slight compressor efficiency advantage.

Match-boit will tell you if boost is possible or not at a given RPM once you map the turbine curves. 2700 is pushing it very fine I know because the % of wastegated gas is pretty much nothing. I more chose the 7064 for the lower ex manifold pressure than anything else and it looks to be considerably lower, especially up top. That way, timing can be advanced more, exhaust gas can escape easier and VE will be higher. Technically, I should raise the VE numbers a bit for the 7064 due to this.

What would you use for the VE figures for those RPM points with Tomei 256 cams and a mild port job? I thought mine were about right but I really don't know what the real-world VE numbers would be.

I don't know for sure tbh, I just threw in some thumbsuck stuff and it turned out real similar to yours - can't remember the exacts but I think we were on the same wavelength. Doesn't mean it's right, but it has to be worth something? haha

PS. Just because matchbot thinks it is physically possible to get that boost with that turbine configuration doesn't mean it will. I am incredibly dubious of using that method to determine spool tbh - I had a quick play with it using that method and if it had any credibility then we should build SR22s and put EFR9180s onto them with 1.05a/r turbine housings and hope to hit 50psi by 3600rpm and dominate EVERYTHING :)

ok enough talk, more results... :yes:

Second stage of tune completed over the weekend. My GTR is running a Motec with knock control so Phil Armour spent all day Saturday making my brand new engine knock on 91oct before loading it up with E85 and pushing her once again over the edge before bringing her back to a happy place.

For a better explanation see... http://www.motec.com.au/aboutknockcontrol/knockoverview/

Bottom line is we're pushing these little 6258's pretty hard now with no sign of them letting go. All's good with EFR once again!

Stage 3 tune will be more revs, play around with cam timing to optimise area under the curve, and keep 30psi in her for the whole rev range.

Should be pretty special when finished! As my tuner said on Saturday "Happy Days!"

Argh Brad - I see why you asked about VE, when I said you had a fail with VE plotting I meant compressor efficiency... my bad.

Wow. This result is on E85 and stock displacement RB26 right? That should be a bunch of fun - glad they are working better for you now!

By the way, you have some intensely awesome toys - I've been waiting with eager anticipation for the HTA GT3076R and mid way through the anticipated you out of the blue post something which I'd be looking forward to just as much... good man :) Cheers for sharing the goodness!

RB28 - Tomei Stroker, E85 is correct though.

Turbos came on earlier with the last build even with bigger cams, so with a bit of fiddling we should be able to get her back to 20psi before 4000rpm.

Atleast that's the plan.

The HTA will hit the rollers again this week sometime...

Very interested to hear how both results turn out - 30psi all around eh? The GT3076R-HTA on an RB25 compared with EFR6258s on an RB28 with fuel and boost will be interesting to compare drives/results too.

What cams are you running?

Ok, I am thinking of trying an EFR 9180 with 1.45 A/R... if anyone wants to help out, please buy these: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/420205-single-turbo-and-bov-700-800hp/

What was the reason for the change?

When I built the head my engine was still only 2.6. Now it's stroked I thought smaller cams would be better suited as I don't rev her as high now. I was also just looking for a little more response.

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
