Amazing! Didn't I tell you 8+ years ago twins are gay? :)

Now you've converted physically and mentally!

No more blown rear turbos, no more skyhigh EGTs and EBP, no more lag, no more gay stuff.

Stop being soft and put a 9280 on it

9180 would do for now :D

Hows that build of yours going?

 

Sick f**king work Piggy, looking forward to seeing the final result - but you're already smashing it. Can't wait for the data, and for you to finally be able to get out there and do awesome shit with it.  I remember the OTP discussion we had back in 2013 where you were challenging me to think of any RB setup with response and power like your own, bet you wouldn't have expected your own car to end up with a single turbo on the exact same engine and as a result stand up harder earlier than it ever did before? :D  

f**king kudos to having the Insight involved to get a great thing even better.

Honorary mention gotta go to the drunken conversations with the Wild the sphincter of the universe Rare Breed.

There is no way in this lifetime I would have believed a single would find its way onto my nugget....

It makes me upset that I spent almost a decade pissing around in the wind with twins. The whole "twins for response, single for power" would have to be the biggest myth in GTR world.

Downlow - single belts it to the moon

Transient - pfft. Not even worth talking about.

everything that twin guys "claim" twins are better at, yeah nah!

 

1.05 ain't too big at all. 0.92 just seems silly and retarded.

It's ok I will still run you with my "laggy" twins :D

Are people really saying that though? In the modern era given the advances in turbo tech?

I've got twins and I don't say any of that shit 0_0 

It sounds like the type of thing you'd hear at a car meet full of 20yr olds who have never owned turbo car.

Twins were cheaper, substantially reduce my defect risk, and could get me the result I thought I wanted. That is all?

Things have changed a lot but there are still PLENTY who say that kind of thing, surprisingly.

I think people get worked up about trying to choose the "best" solution when rarely does one size fit all or do we know what someone's real goals/perspective are. 

Paul gets a pass as this has kind of been a documentary on going from twins to a single and all the reasons why, lots of detail and honesty. 

I liked Motive's test because they kept everything else equal, no ECU or head work like this build, just change turbo and re-tune to suit so the results were plain to see.

Is a modern, single turbo better than 2 older tech ones, unsurprisingly yes it is, what an absolute shock revelation lol

Can people still have plenty of good fun in the lower power numbers with cheap twins, yes they can. 

Also, if mine die, I think 7670 for me and keep a stack of 100s in the glovebox for bribes for the popo ;)

Do they cops up your way even know what they are looking at?

Very much so. 

I know one of them vaguely and he was able to tell me almost everything on my car when he stopped by the paint shop when it was in there. 

He just said "Don't be a dickhead and get caught". 

Not all of them are so forgiving.

Hawkguy may not of had headwork or whatever but apart from exhaust and intake mods to accomodate the different configuration, the engine didn't change.

Cooler went from a Nismooooooo to a larger (680x325x100) hypertune core and ecu changed.

Head, cams (even cam timing) remained untouched. Probably could have advanced the intake on the twins a tad, maybe, but we can't go there with the efr. Scott is riding the surge line as it is. It WANTS to come on earlier. Lol

 

You guys driven a 335 or a m3 ( full boost at 1400rpm and 300rwkw (with a tune tickle ) 

twins still are epic  just were we're playing with a 25 year old car not a 2 year old car

eithet way can wait to see this at the track ripping up some bends

I drove an MY11 35 and an F80 M4 back to back a few months ago, the M4 felt like a much better car to drive/own and enjoy at anything up to 140km/h

Hahah, madness :D

What is it about the turbo design that makes it so responsive from an engineering point of view? 
 

Well, guys get all excited about a billet wheel being lighter.... but most of the weight is in the turbine wheel. The efr wheel is half the weight of a normal inconel wheel.  

Removal of all the small piping and super tight bends of the intake and exhaust. Just look at it all, it's hardly designed for MASS airflow. Put a pressure sensor on the intake of a 450 kw gtr and I bet it's pulling bulk vacuum. Dyson would be impressed.

Yea strap on of these Bw to one of those and see what happens

lol and around and around we go

I wonder why BMW went with all the hassle of twins on a straight 6 motor instead of a slightly larger single? 

I guess they wanted to make it laggier. I mean, 1400 rpm is pretty shit response - A single would be on idle for sure.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
