I think you were apart of the original discussion about Multi vs Single throttles when i googled some old threads on SAU. The car isnt a circuit car and its main purpose is being a street car. And setup for straight line performance. Because of this i always assumed Single > Multi. I also found this while going through old threads.

I am also building a Rb30/26. I have asked Nathan from HiOctane which Hyper tune Plenum would suit....here is the correspondence

Hi Matt,

It depends what you are using the car for. If you are using it for street use then yes they are good(6throttle Hypertune). However if you are just going for outright power then you are better off with a single throttle plenum.

What size did you need those pistons in?

I use the car for street and track days, The drag strip in Adelaide is closed :blink:

I am a firm believer in achieving maximum average power and torque.

What gains will the 6 throttle plenum achieve at my target power/Flow?

Matt

Hey Matt,

The plenum itself does make more power than the standard one. Once you reach over 400kw atw it is no longer the plenum that becomes the restriction it is the throttle bodies. The 6 throttle is better for over all response not maximum power figures.

Hmmmmn, That's hard to believe since the combined area of the 6 butterflies minus the shaft is still more than the single TB. I guess the extra turbulence caused at the inlet causes the issue.

So you would say.

6 TB Plenum for GT-SS, 2530, GT2860R-5

Single TB Plenum for Big Singles

I guess I'm right on the line.......I think the 3ltr will give pretty decent response so very hard to say which will make more average power....

hmmmn

Oh sorry I didn't realise you are running a 3L ( now that I look back over the emails I see you did say 30/26 ) On a 3L the multi throttle is not worth it single all the way. We are using a single on our new R34 race car which is a 3L.

We did pressure test the throttles and there was some hissing around the throttle bodies. We couldnt determine exactly if it was the bearings or the actual flaps but since it was out we decided to clean everything up and replace the bearing seals as well.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
