Area under the curve is more important than top end power IMO, your car will be mental. That's why i designed my car the way i did. 

Even at my relative power level i find for street work, it's getting to the point the extra power is useless. 

I'm loving my current tune on 98, i can't wait to see it on E85 again.

I believe Scott is spending all day on it today. No idea where it's all upto apart from the information I've posted.

Cant see it making anymore than 480 awkw. That's as much as Scott has seen out of a 8374.

how hard are you planning on pushing it - boost wise?

Whatever 125,000 Rpm is. It will be higher early on then taper off as the engine consumes more air. 

So. Bring on 125 k ASAP and leave it there. Boost, who cares but at guesstimate, 30 ish psi as it comes on (late 3000's/4000 ish) and mid 20's at 8000 rpm. With any luck, hopefully less "boost".

interesting. looking forward to it.

Just for fun rather than anything else - i compared my power in the midrange compared to yours - i'm at ~100kw at 3700 - you've got ~270kw - same turbo lol

I need me a stroker kit

Has the fluff fallen out of Ernie yet? Otherwise not a real EFR :4_joy:

Lol. When are you going to man up and buy one. Piss off that nug PTE ?

Update time!!!!

Fuel is E56 only

Still not bringing it on as hard as possible, just letting it come up as normal (not tuning via turbine speed YET). 

Turbo is a EFR 8374/1.05 AR turbine housing.

300 KW at 4000 ish, 461.5 KW at 6000 RPM then it falls over. I didn't see this coming but the issue is the turbine housing is too small! The next size up is a 1.45 AR which is the same housings they used on the indy cars. They were saying that the head is  just breathing like a weapon. Funnily enough, both Petes and Intune's car were able to stretch to 8000 RPM even though their engines are larger!

For the time being I will take it back and enjoy it for a while. If I put the 1.45 on, Scott thinks it will see 500 KW and make even more through the middle by 20-30 KW. However, i'll lose a tad at 3000 ish RPM.

I suppose I better get used to short shifting. Lucky I have 6 gears. 

For those of you who are hooked up on boost numbers, 25 psi at 3850 ish RPM but that will improve again. Pretty sporty for a lazy, laggy single turbo :1_grinning:

Go put a 6258 on your car.

I built mine so I could have a strong top end . I want to keep it and as tried to get it as good as I could down low . 

I don't want to loose anything from the top end, I still can rev it to 8000 if I want .  Just like it a bit different than most I guess :/ 

That head you had done is something else , cannot wait to see it all working together, what a machine :wub:

I just found a pic of you image.jpeg.b25b27a9dbf556a841d944083f03f787.jpeg

 

Congrats Paul, now enjoy it for awhile and mull on can of worms thats just been opened but was hiding there in front of you.

What brake set up are you running ? Reason I ask you may find that other things may need upgrade first, like stopping ,fine tune the nadling (think you sorted that but f**k me too much alcohol brain damage cant remember shit) then sort last power upgrade, all just subtle stuff. Then you'll have the ultimate skyline weapon.

Brakes are sorted, mate. 365 mm 6 pot fronts/350 mm 4 pot rear alcons. Need to change the front pads, the ones in there are woody nuggets!

Suspension and arms are all sorted, although it needs a wheel alignment. The whole rear end has been out to replace the sub frame bushes.

Cant believe I'm out of rear housing. Quite strange that the 3.2 and 3.0 can go to 8000 rpm but the little 2.8 cant. I suppose those polished ports ain't so bad after all ;).

I have in my head the 1.45 isn't a straight bolt on. The housing absolutely MASSIVE!!!! Adrian (bloke from Insight) said if they made a 1.6 you'd put it on haha.

Data is showing 46 Psi in the exhaust manifold. 

Im heading out tomorrow to sit down with Scott. Grab as much data as I can.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
