Even if it is too small you surely should be able to get it to hold flat boost with an appropriate boost controller setup if using an external gate?

That involves using an 'appropriately' sized wastegate more than it does a method of boost control.

Those sorts of setups DO work, like running a .63 rear end on a real 3076 (3037 56t). You can do it and it will make the power but in actual fact a good wastegate on such a setup is a bandaid fix for something that needs a bigger housing. Use of stuff like E85 is also good for ping resistance ETC, which is what you need when heat from the backed up exhaust housing makes its way into the cylinder.

Consider this: You can have a massive compressor on a tiny turbine, the turbine will accept X amount of flow to reach Y shaft speed. There is a V max for the compressor too, once Y surpases the Vmax of the compressor you are running outside of the compressor map. The big wastegate is bleeding off the motors flowpath to cap off the amount of exhaust gas hitting the turbine and increasing the shaft speed.

So the small exhaust housing makes you need less X to acheive Y, then you hit Xs maximum and X becomes a constant from the compressor side impacted by revs.

Anyway need to go home, enough theorising for one day.

NB 8cm housings work on SR20's which arent naturally big gulping motors.

I wouldn't say that. My mates gemmi put out 200 rwhp at only 12.5 psi. The engine is newly built and will be eventually be wound up to over 30 psi.

I can make 500kw with a megasquirt as well, doesn't mean it is a good ecu.

power != features OR a good software/hardware package

the fact is a microtech has a massive lack of features and shitty tuning software, it is a huge downgrade on a stock ecu with just simple remaps, using a nistune makes it infintely better than a microtech.

you can get them to work fine with air-con, i had one on my WRX in 1999 with a Gt30 etc , before they did flash tunes, I had one on my r31 with air-con, both drove like stock actually

a good tuner can get a decent result from them

cheers

A good tuner can make anything work, eg a carby blow through setup, once again it doesn't make it a good setup. If you just stuck with the stock ecu and remapped it you'd have a much better solution, if you went nistune for $400 you'd be infinitely better off.

Why are you flogging a dead horse? i'm of to put nistune on my R31 so it idles like a concrete mixer..lol, because it has trouble even getting the smallest hydraulic cams to idle nice with big injectors on vl's or R31's.

When it comes to ECU's, some look crap on paper and in real life work, and some look great on paper and aren't that great, and despite what YOU might think, thats the way it is.....

Yes and microtech look crap on paper and work pretty average as well. Nistune etc have more features and also work much better.

You said it is a step backwards from a stock ecu. It isn't.

Hi guys.

I am writing to you from far away Russia.

I wanted to consult on the turbine .... I hope for your help .... here in Russia we can say qualified no ....

The car I Nissan Skyline R33 RB25det transmission mechanic 1995 release ...

All specs are great except for the turbine ........

In search of turbines ... saw this here

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissan-RB20-RB25DET-OBX-T67-25G-Turbo-Manifold-Combo-/160655839135?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2567d58f9f

What can you say about her??

Then I saw the turbine T67-25G Kinugawa ... and in search of information about her came across your forum .....

Friends please tell us all about this turbine ... Good?? Is not broken?? It is worth taking??

Ps

Read the whole subject is difficult for me because I own Angliskim bad language and a great chat through an interpreter translate the posts ... I'm sorry for my bad anglisky .... hope for your help

Specs my car:

Now stock turbo

Power FC+ comander ECU (lies at home)

Greddy intercooller

and so on trifles

Has been sitting there for weeks collecting dust, my fabricator dogged me, then he turned up 2 days ago and bent up the main roll cage hoop then left, now he lost part of his finger working on the lathe at his.

Im learning to tig at the moment so i can do my own alloy work. I have no issue's with a mig and mild/stainless.

He has modded the cooler so its a return flow, so all piping will be on the turbo side. He ordered all 3inch from memory even though thats not wat i wanted.

No harm in big cooler piping. More volume after the cooler will result in a denser charge and more oxygen in every gulp id say.

Hurry up and show me what that turbo can do lol

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
