Everyone seems to be pointing the outlet down. Except me.

Mine is sideways. Touches the hood every now and then on hard launch.

Going to turn it down soon because of that.

Moved to Haltech OPEN loop boost control. NONE, ZERO, NO PROBLEMS holding target boost, NO overshoot. Actually It's PERFECT really. I may have lost 2-300 rpm threshold in some lower gears but I'll build a "boost by gear" table for it.

HOLY SMOKES this car HAS to have 130 mph in it on pumpgas (US 93)! Excited to make it back to the track soon. Hoping the weather holds up. Last runs were 126.2 mph with boost dropping all the way down to 16 psi and slow climb back to 20 psi. It should be a rocket now.

That's terrific on a 2.8, I do not get that on E85 , I top out at 461 AWKW /618awhp on a 3.2 with Vcam, but more torque x 2 ish, well done :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

My 8374 is bolted on, so should have some results in a couple of weeks, waiting for the Crank Trigger.

 

FYI. You will make INSANE torque with that setup. I would not be surprised to see full boost by 3000 rpms with that setup, but you'll likely be overspinning turbo past 7k. Be careful. A 9180 will fit it better. Actually I'm thinking of going 9180 in mine now to chase more pumpgas numbers.

Yeah , it was suggested that I go to the 9180 and it would still be a little better than the 6266, I would not have gone to the expense for " a little better " trying for " a lot better " but I am sure the 9180 would have been a better turbo for most people with this type of build but I have been doing everything to get the best early response from my car.

Everything has been checked out,  had a Turbo Speed sensor fitted,  a full fuel system upgrade from the surge tank lines to the motor, fabrications to fit 8374 with oil and water lines done and a crank trigger. Everything should be sweet, well? ish!

I am sure when it is finished and tuned,  it will be set up as safe as can be and I will watch the rest.

I am not after numbers and most things I have done have lowered the top end from what it could have been, it is totally a street car.

Harris's info is making me wonder about my 7670 sitting in a box to go on my 2.8 (neo with VCT).
But it's great info regardless! Glad to read it's performing as expected :)

I think the next thing I would do is vcam on my setup...to get idle quality back and pickup a bit on top end...maybe run redline to 8500. Moving the cams 8deg closer made a monster difference in torque. If i were clean slating my setup again i would go dual efr full-race setup in addition to that!

My tuner will be working on my efr car in the next month or so and in the past they've mentioned having problems with boost creep/spikes. They went to the turbosmart dual ports on other cars which seems to have fixed the problems but I don't know if they stuck it out with closed loop. I went with the dual port actuator ahead of time to save the trouble.

Are you in an elite or PP haltech? What kind of duty are you seeing?

was PP. Just sold it... moving to ecu master black. I did not like haltechs closed loop boost control. I think in the 30-35% duty on the dual port wastegate actuator at 28hz to hit 20 psi with the 4 port mac valve.

 

 

The 8374  had a run on the Dyno on Thursday. It was on pump 98  at 20psi , probably going for around 23psi on 98

The tuning should be finished next week.

It is better than my last tune with the 6266 on E85 up to 6000rpm but the gears used were different , 5th gear 6266 and 4th gear 8374 , I am not sure what difference it makes, so ?

The tune looks good but I think driving it will be the true test of the 8374

When you get final tune i would like to see the difference in the dyno charts of 6266 and 8374

Even now it is looking pretty good against that, Speaking to the boys and they also said it will also drive a LOT differently. I also had a look at another blokes Dyno on a 8374 and my 6266 graph looks like it should have smashed his but his had better throttle and transient response , I had .2Lt more and Vcam ?

Here is the 6266 Gen 2 Dyno

By the way , that tune is just work in progress, it was not completed on the 98, it was the first info I received ,  just thought I would toss it in and see where it goes from there, if anything ??

Finally had a professional tune mine the other day (rb28 9:1  Tomei procam 260/10.25 8374 t4 .92 iwg double acting turbosmart actuator)  The tuner asked me if I wanted the cams set for response or top end (light switch) . In Japan they still have the old school singles with not many efrs around so they always ask that question, probably why HKS made vcam.

Anyway I said response please, and when I picked it up and asked if he adjusted the cams he said he didn't have to and was totally amazed by the turbo response.

The cams are set as per Tomei spec card, I will get him to adjust them another day. 

I get full boost 1.5 kg around 3800rpm  and around 450kw rear wheels on Jap 98 hi oku, not sure what gear it was done in (maybe 5)  its a getrag with vspec r33 diff 4.11

The green line by itself is low boost 1.0kg

No speed sensor fitted, when I ran all sorts of scenarios on matchbot it came close to the max but was always under.

A few times with the old single acting efr supplied high boost actuator it would stick and it would hit 35 psi sometimes, no doubt oversped then.

I will probably fit one just out of interest and send it to my Plex SDM dash.  They're a great dash and configurable (can)

shit spelling

I got my new ecu master black in yesterday. I also have the road rage gauge here in box and sensor. I'll be wiring it up and starting tuning this weekend hopefully. I'll keep you posted on speeds. I was out of I/O on the platinum and freed them up on the emu.

    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
