Nice, that'll be quite interesting - so you won't push it any harder than the 8374, just to the same boost level?   

I'm guessing you don't have exhaust manifold pressure logging, but seeing as it seems you have turbine speed - do you have any logs from runs with turbine speed data?  I'd be curious about what kind of engine rpm you hit ~110,000rpm turbine speed, and how the engine behaves with the EFR9174 at the same kind of rpm area.

Out of curiousity.... with the data you have, what is the MAP/TIP like say if you look for where where the airflow is at around 79lb/min is on the GT-R - I see you are running just over 25psi, which lines up reasonably well with the compressor flow chart I listed above.   It'd be interesting to see if your TIP starts getting uglier after that 79/80lb point or if it is "already there".  

Keep in mind, its such a high flow engine that even though the 'boost' is moderate, its way off to the right of the map, as turbine is in over speed condition from 6950 engine rpm! I have blanked out the specifics of maximum speed at peak power engine speed, motor revs are restricted only cause of the limitations of the turbocharger. Thankfully we use the best ECU designed for just this application, so we can run very accurately all the time to the absolute critical speed limit of the EFR9180... I am amazed how long it has lasted to be honest as its really being pushed well out of its comfort zone.

Awesome, that's really good data - thanks. What does the colour gradient on the scatter graph represent?  It definitely shows that you are running out of compressor pretty early in the revs as I was suspecting, really after 6000rpm it is already working quite hard - by 6900 it is really going to be wondering why it let this happen.

No TIP data there but it is mega obvious that the compressor is outmatched by the engine in this setup

MAP for scat,

Yeah I left some bits out as too many copy (sorry about that) but you can see the obvious I was talking about. The map/tip is ugly on this set up for sure to the point that the piston engine does not make the normal 13% to 15% extra power (on equivalent displacement metric) v's the 13B rotary when using this turbo, its just too small basically.

Yeah understand not wanting to show it all - not necessary really, most of the data is there relevant to the discussion.  

EFR9280 could make a huge difference on this engine 

lol at the redacted plot.. anyone have ASIO clearance that can make sense of this for us?

the Y axis can be fully extrapolated from the data in the bottom left corner (117.61) for the cross hair value.

so you're overspeeding it by ~4%, good for you.

True top end motorsports ECU like Life Racing, Pectel/Cosworth, Bosch....... don't use Ve derived 'guesses', but that is another topic :)

 

What I have been meaning to fit up (but its a low priority to be totally honest with you) is a calibrated flow meter onto the turbocharger inlet pipe, then and only then will you be able to show mass flow rates and back work Ve, if you are guessing/doing it estimated fuel mass and Lambda sensors then you are mental LOL. Always personally found a direct measure is far more useful than an indirect guess.

^ You may need the KGB or CIA to do some waterboarding cause your extrapolation is way incorrect ;)

Run allot more over speed than above estimate, Geoff knows :) will leave it at that, but again only possible with LR control methods.

map/tip will still be AIDS though?

as with anything, shit in = shit out.

if you have enough fit for purpose sensors (fast response, high accuracy) that are correctly calibrated, know your injector flow ACCURATELY (which is the difficult part of this) there is no reason to doubt the result.

A VE model is just an abstracted correction function using physical models. you could convert all the corrections to ms and have no difference, and would suit your "motosports". they're fully interchangable. the advantage of a VE model is you can have single variable corrections as things are coupled in the model, whereas in a ms map they would be multivariate.

sure, its not going to be within 0.01%, but in a dynamic real time system its not neccessary to go to that, its only a compressor map, and its a visual tool.

The log I have above, the compressor stonewall flow vs turbo speed matches to within 0.8% of the BW supplied compressor map. if you are telling me that isn't useful data then by all means keep "intending" to set up a test bench.

OEM manufacturers go to extreme levels to accurately model engine characterists because they REQUIRE it. emissions are getting incredibly tight. motorsport engine control is basic stuff by comparision, especially on the fuelling side. those advanced motorsport ecus aren't doing anything clever, they are just very reliable, don't change constantly, come with excellent datalog analysis and professional support, and often retardedly complicated licencing requirements on top of the hardware cost, but that's another story. the torque control and gear shifting is what you're paying for.

 the Bosch motorsport ecus (even as old as MS5's etc) use a relative fuel mass to lambda target, the air temp correction is based in a NTP relative ideal gas model and the final fuel charge is converted to an injection time later from the Q-stat flow so get off your high horse.

sorry I assumed the max speed for a 9180 was ~1119/120k rpm from where you've started blanking out. discovered now its 116k so you can see where I was coming from.

No stress, eitherway turbo is not right on that engine, not even a 13B to be honest, its more for small engines when run to full power.

You do realize LR do OEM development with that exact same 'motorsport engine control' that exceed Euro5&6 standards? https://www.liferacing.com/products/ecus/gdi-series/ so not sure where you are going with that one to justify Ve based ECU's? I think its just marketing or justification of principle of operation getting confused with reality but hey.

I know a LR is extremely clever, but I use it daily so I am biased, yes. Will dismount hobby horse now.

Euro 7? Life racing's charge temp correction and transient enrichment/decay is far too simplistic for that. there is zero chance they are using their ECU in an OEM situation and meeting that standard.

a one-off non-performance tune of a car to scrape through euro6 maybe. but oem e7, nah.

enough internet debate, and I know you love them as a dealer/partner but they're just another option in the middle of a sea of many.

Weird flex, but ok.  I'm going to restrain myself from going off topic on that one as well haha.  The estimated airflow thing is a fair call, however - while it's nice to get a thumb suck it definitely is an estimate which relies on all kinds of things being right which probably aren't always bang on.  It's one of the reasons I was interested in TIP, MAP and turbine rpm on the setup you are using, as really it was going to be a more reliable way of getting a gauge of how hard the compressor is working and how much the engine is getting choked by the turbine.

I can't answer that at all, have not seen any TIP data :) 

The data you have given would make me expect TIP to get AIDS above 6000rpm purely because of the compressor flow, regardless of how well the hotside flows... however I don't know how the MAP/TIP is *before* the compressor starts choking.  Maybe the hotside would *also* be a limitation, but if the MAP/TIP isn't bad before 6000rpm then I'd hazard a guess and say that it might actually improve a heap with the bigger compressor and then you'd start finding out if/when the hotside legitimately becomes a restriction of it's own.

NP and I agree with you that enough debate, I appreciate your input and some of what I put up is of use so lets keep at that cause I know I can't test everything myself, so its good if we can work together since there is not many people who spend 30k in electronics and development time/resources per car, and in multiples its even more rare, not just one off personal hobby projects (nothing wrong with that though) but the more you do the better potentially the data collection is.

Lith it sounds like your do a bit of this?

What is your limit for map/tip or what do you find in experience on the types of engines you do starts to yield lower results and increase negatives in relation to such parameters like say knock or another metric.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
