The X axis of the graph represents airflow in pounds per minute. As a general rule, each pound of air generated represents 10hp. This is flywheel hp and not wheel hp, so don't confuse the two. When looking at this be sure to account for driveline losses when you estimate your power output.

Mmmm, :confused: in order for the compressor map to be usefull it has to show the weight of air over time. Otherwise the atmospheric pressure (eg; at altitude) will effect the map. As air becomes less dense, it weighs less and this is directly proportional to the power able to be produced from that amount of air. It is not the volume of air, but its weight that is important. That's why the usual (US) compressor maps are in lbs per minute. :D

To make that map usefull you would have to convert the volume measurement into a calculated weight, say at sea level. That would work OK, as long as that is what they used in arriving at the map in the first place. :headspin:

Oh one mroe thing Doughboy, have a guess, is my turbine is the TD06 or the larger TD06H? No that is should make much difference when looking at the compressor side of things.

...according to that compressor map the TD06-20G can reach 18psi by around 3500rpm, but doesnt like much more then 1.3 bar. Looking around on US sites running the Mitsubishi turbos on their 4G63 etc, they are using 7cm^2, sometimes 8cm^2 exhaust housing on their 2L cars with the TD06 turbine, perhaps the 10cm^2 i have i a little too big?

Troy, you do realise that those maps are for MHI 20G's, if there is a difference between the Trust unit and the commercial MHI unit then the charts not worth much. Trust surprisingly don't publish comp maps either, so have no idea what the "real" map for your turbo looks like.

We've still got that 8cm TD06 here anyway, you know what it was like on an SR20. But after seeing the results on my white car capped due to a too small exhaust housing I'd say keep the big one, the frustration of hitting the same max power at 14lbs vs 23lbs is not worth it!

HKS RB26 stainless manifold, top mount. Have been wanting to see how the Turbonetics turbos stack up vs. Jap stuff, and the T66 has such an awesome comp map.

Prolly going straight up for sale though, trying to cut back on tuning costs (I can just start to sit down now after the 3040 setup) and would rather just throw the new twin kit in the new car straight off the bat.

Price... have to wait till next week to see how much the container gets hit by customs.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
