M35 Turbo Upgrade.


FIA510

Recommended Posts

Currently running 16.8 degrees timing in 3rd gear. I increased timing by 5 degrees this morning and it was considerably quicker. Smoking all 4 tyres on accel.

My concern is however the timing is gear specific as controlled by the OEM ECU. Increasing the timing that suits 3rd will cause huge timing figures in the lower gears...possibly explaining why Tao's M35 exploded in 2nd gear at part throttle.

There is a speed vs fuel map in the EMU however no speed vs timing. I might look at translating speed to a 0-5v signal to utilize the temp vs timing map in the EMU since the OEM ECU handles that anyway.

There is no question we have more power to be extracted. I just want to be smart about how it is controlled.

Lowest boost setting. 20psi 1st 22psi second.

Getting more and more impressed with the outcome.

Fuel flow and dyno next

Hi mate

At around 70km to 80km ..... there seems to be either wheel spin, rev hang or lag in gear change, is it wheel spin?

Thanks

Yep. 1st gear is all wheel spin. When it changes to 2nd it grips and the speed highlights this.

I have logged a run at 0-100 in 3.3sec. Still with lots of wheel spin. In need of some sticky tyres.

That's awesome!

What's 1300lb torque in NM? I tried an online conversion tool and it gave me the result of 1700NM!

I have no idea what formula you used.. but I'm going out on a limb to say its incorrect. TE = T*R*1000/r I dont know the gear ratios, diff ratios, or rolling radius of Matts tyres so it'd all be a stab in the dark.

Dyno sheets are just a tuning tool, I'm looking forward to it having a run at AIR and seeing what numbers it can put down!

Agreed it's a weird figure that's at the rear wheels. Makes no sense and is definitely not 1700nm and a reference-able figure. Good for highlighting the torque curve only. It's certainly making decent torque. I just need to connect the rpm trigger on the dyno next time to get a normal type of output. Will do this when I get around to actually tuning the timing. Only running 16.9 degrees ATM.

Keen for AIR also. Need to fix the damage from it coming off the dyno first.

I realized its a tuning tool, it was out of curiosity to see what the VQ makes vs the B5 Audi S4 2.7ltr twin turbo.

Yea you need the info that Dunc mentioned above to accurately work out the torque. I think what is displayed on the dyno is tractive effort or some crap which then needs to be converted using the ratios etc as Dunc mentioned

19.8psi at 3622rpm today under heavy load in 3rd. Response is better again in 4th. Not that you would want to load up 32psi in 4th before 4500rpm that would be a challenge for the rods.

Are there options for me if i simply want to upgrade core to one with a steel turbine rather than ceramic ? I have not seen it pop up at all and it is an upgrade in terms of material used

like a hi-flow?

I'm not aware of a direct fit steel wheel replacement. Of note. If you fitted a direct fit steel turbine you would go backwards in terms of torque(low end response) there are small high flows available now which respond very similar to stock.

What are their wheels made of? Are they just a Garrett core with our housings or something else?

I think that's what stripey wanted, just a basic high flow that will respond similarly to stock but without the concern of the ceramic wheel.

Yes you can get a Garrett core replacement. Original replacement with the ceramic turbine has steel ball bearings and the newer Garrett cores are Ceramic Ball bearing with inconel turbines. As long as the rebuilt unit is ball bearing or CBB you will claw back some of the benefits of the ceramic turbine.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
