This was after a rough tune - Ben is going to try and flatten our the bump when the VVT comes in - also there another 1300 RPM or so at the top end that need looking at. Like I said, initial tune - Should have another graph next week.

This was at 21 PSI - We should be able to extract another couple of PSI out of her next week too ! :P

Redline - Yeah we are going to muck around with the ECU to try and tune that dip out. Apparently the ECU can do something with the VVT to make it better (that's B-Man technical speak there)

Roy - you know ;)

Steve - yep she hits hard. It's interesting actually - 0-3500 = drving around normally. > 3500 is where it all starts to happen

RBVS - You got it mate - in a nutshell ! 8.5 or 8.6 to 1 - (HKS 1.6 mm head gasket)

Cameron - I took it down the quater last saturday and got two 15 sec runs and fu(ked clutch. :( ha ha New clutch going in now so I might be able to do better than that :D

Just looking at the dyno graph with boost plotted against revs and power:

Boost starts at 3000

3500 = 5 PSI and 80 rwkw

4000 = 8 PSI and 112 rwkw

4500 = 20 PSI and 200rwkw

5000 = 23 PSI and 260 rwkw

5500 = 22.5 PSI and 270 rwkw

6000 = 22 PSI and 310 rwkw

6500 = 21 PSI and 323 rwkw

Thinking about it and comparing against the old Turbo which made 200 rwkw at 9 PSI and 255 rwkw at 15 PSI ( from memory) this one is a laggy hoe. (of course this was a completely different RPM)

It prolly has everything to do with the 1.12 AR exhaust housing ...

However - if we can tune it a bit more and maintain the 300 odd rwkw between 5500 and 8000 rpm - the top end will be the place to drive it.

Means I get the best of both worlds. The quiet NA car between 0-3500 for puttering around town - And the weapon 3500-8000 RPM for the track, drags, off street stuff.

I might look into dropping down an AR or two for a bit of a play as Everything else is the same - just the turbo swap . So I know the zorst, cat, etc is good for better response.

1.12 exhaust housing!!! No wonder it's so laggy!

I was using a 0.87 exhaust housing, and there's also a 1.01 housing, so you're two sizes up from what I was using! :)

3500 = 5 PSI and 80 rwkw

4000 = 8 PSI and 112 rwkw

4500 = 20 PSI and 200rwkw

You have a 90rwkw increase in 500rpm between 3500 and 4000rpm!!! That's gotta make for some traction issues!!!! eek3.gif

I'd love to see what she'll make with more boost (1.6bar isn't enough with that monster exhaust housing) and a proper tune... You're not even revving the thing out yet!!!! Sounds like you have a monster on your hands Brendan! I told you HKS turbos are the goods :)

Are you using the e-boost, B-Man? I thought they were supposed to be the most, 'un-spiking-est' of ebc's? (A-Man technical speak there :))

Peaks to 23psi then trails to 21psi 1500rpm later? Weren't Turbosmart claiming almost 0 spiking with this device @ SEMA?

If you're not using the e-boost then i am way off... but i thought you were...

Adrian

Yes, using e-boost, and yes I don't understand the boost drop off either...... Maybe more wastegate related ?? Dunno...... That's something I will be looking in to ! Also prolly cause it comes on so damn hard - There may be a way with the e-boost to slow down the wastegate hence stabablize the boost.

Cheers,

Merli - What are they efficient to ??? 1.8 bar ???

1.8-1.9 bar I would imagine... Keep turning up the boost until you don't make anymore power with more boost :) You have the engine to support it, so don't be scared to wind it up! :)

Hi Sydneykid - I was wondering that myself - as you can see by my biro markings on the graph - I wanna also know what happens between 6500 and 8000 RPM :)

I've asked them to run it further after final tune.

Knore - I wanted better than 250 rwkw - But I didn't want to stick a T88 on it. - So yeah - It's maybe a little overkill for the track and a bit underkill for drags - A happy medium -

    • Thanks for the reply mate. Well I really hope its a hose then not engine out job
    • But.... the reason I want to run a 60 weight is so at 125C it has the same viscosity as a 40 weight at 100C. That's the whole reason. If the viscosity changes that much to drop oil pressure from 73psi to 36psi then that's another reason I should be running an oil that mimics the 40 weight at 100C. I have datalogs from the dyno with the oil pressure hitting 73psi at full throttle/high RPM. At the dyno the oil temp was around 100-105C. The pump has a 70psi internal relief spring. It will never go/can't go above 70psi. The GM recommendation of 6psi per 1000rpm is well under that... The oil sensor for logging in LS's is at the valley plate at the back of  the block/rear of where the heads are near the firewall. It's also where the knock sensors are which are notable for 'false knock'. I'm hoping I just didn't have enough oil up top causing some chatter instead of rods being sad (big hopium/copium I know) LS's definitely heat up the oil more than RB's do, the stock vettes for example will hit 300F(150C) in a lap or two and happily track for years and years. This is the same oil cooler that I had when I was in RB land, being the Setrab 25 row oil cooler HEL thing. I did think about putting a fan in there to pull air out more, though I don't know if that will actually help in huge load situations with lots of speed. I think when I had the auto cooler. The leak is where the block runs to the oil cooler lines, the OEM/Dash oil pressure sender is connected at that junction and is what broke. I'm actually quite curious to see how much oil in total capacity is actually left in the engine. As it currently stands I'm waiting on that bush to adapt the sender to it. The sump is still full (?) of oil and the lines and accusump have been drained, but the filter and block are off. I suspect there's maybe less than 1/2 the total capacity there should be in there. I have noticed in the past that topping up oil has improved oil pressure, as reported by the dash sensor. This is all extremely sketchy hence wanting to get it sorted out lol.
    • I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.
    • I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.
    • I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.
