Back to Datsun content, got proof of durability mother luvers???  :)

Time on Load, bloke who drives it is a maniac, rapes car each time its turned driven.

300+ 9 second passes? who knows who cares, as I measure durability in hours, its got 19 hours to go before engine will be inspected (we hope, but that is the aim), see how long the shitbox lasts at all a 9180 can deliver.

Some here may find this of interest.

I decided to share this since lots of "internet engineers" these days are comparing all kinds of turbos and theorizing about what will fit what best and how it will work, with ironically none of them ever testing properly the set ups they are recommending to the 'community' they claim to be doing a service too.

Anyway.

Below is an over lay of exactly the same engine type (13B-REW) stock standard.

EFR9180 IWG 0.92AR (green) v EFR7670 EWG 1.05AR (red), same target boost, same rpm acceleration rate. One on dyno done in 4th gear and other on road in 3rd gear, different gearing ratio's but importantly the accel rate is equal thus turbocharger is loaded the same way to make a valid comparison.

While I wont put up everything (only enough to put certain people in their place lol) the cars run same EGT, same lambda, same timing, all fundamentals are otherwise equal to give a fair comparison. Moral, don't believe anyone be they a vendor/supplier or internet engineer unless they can show you overlays of professional data analysis of exact comparisons to back up their claims of what will work on your engine type! comparing a motor that is not the same is just plain stupid and misleading.

So my parting message to the many stalkers who follow the thread around the world, why recommend something when you don't know what you are talking about or how to properly test it, let alone prove it?

Hi Guys.

My engine is finished and awaiting to be tuned.  The idea is building a responsive car with a smooth idle and street manners.  I have gone an EFR9180 1.05,   I like the idea of the new 9280 but for 100hp more it doesn't seem like a big step up unless it has some hidden merits that I don't know of.

Seeing factory cammed cars have made good power on single turbos,  I wasn't looking to go too big with cams, so I settled on something that will still let the car idle nice.

Some basic info on the power making stuff :

Nitto 2.8, custom spec pistons for 9.6:1 C:R Ratio
HKS Vcam Step 2 - 264 inlet 9mm lift.   Tomei 260 9mm lift Exhaust
1mm Oversize valves, ported head and worked chambers
Hypertune ITB inlet manifold
6boost Twin Scroll manifold.  Twin TIAL MV-S Gates.
EFR9180 1.05 
Haltech Elite 2500

Looking forward to see how the 9180 1.05 runs on the 2.8 Lt with the Vcam 

Has the Vcam step 2 gone from 8.7 mm to a 9mm lift or did you mod it? 

They are taking mine to 272 both sides ,  should be interesting to see how smooth they run with the  Vcam and the smaller 8374 / 1.05 and if it runs out of puff earlier

Had a test run in the RX8 , thought they had a hive of bees under the hood :)

Did you have to do to the motor and what supporting mods to get this result ?

 I would imagine you blew a few donks trying to get it right and I bet it cost a bit on R&D to get the motor to perform for 2 years without going POP!

Hope you didn't kill too many drivers to get the end result LOL

Though I would put together a little bit of real knowledge gained over the years, this is but a small sample I have (know a bit about rotaries lol).... lots of it is pertinent to any engine really though, specially those piston engine types who try to imitate rotary idle characteristics with big cams :)

Some of it is of relevance in that you can go 'too big' and end up with an engine that is overly sensitive to map/tip ratio, also one that is peaky and generally a shitbox overall in every category, narrow power band, excessive fuel use, not as drivable etc.

hi! did some tuning on the nissan last weekend,we had big problem with traction on the rollers,but managed a ok pull with much snowgrip on the tyres and 2 big guys in the trunk! this pull is with the efr7670 1.05 on 98 petrol with 22psi boost falling to 20 psi at top!

Finally got a few fixes put in place, had to do a little extra work the last few months as the poor little SR20 kept snapping rockers. For now she's on 336rwkw and 615nm Torque, turbo is sitting on about 138,000rpm at it's peak. All holding up well at the moment.Since the last boost holding issues I've changed the following;
 - Added Link NS15+ ECU (MAP sensor now)
 - Turbosmart BOV (recirc)
 - Tomei USA new 258 cams
 - Brand new VCT (old one was rattling)

This is EFR7163 T4 0.80 rear and is still internal gate (with a Turbosmart Dual Port 24psi actuator). T4 TS high mount on a Full-race manifold.

Picked up a little more through the mid of late, nice torque figures. It's a little bit of a handful to drive as it comes on so viciously but I'm slowly getting used to feathering throttle on a bit more and have some more rear bush and suspension work to do which will hopefully give some more read end grip.
 
Still running the stock S15 throttle body, which may be restricting some flow up top, might try the slightly larger SR20 NA throttle body (or S14 one) down the track.

Congrats!!, a mate just sent me the facebook link.

Have you go the boost controlled by the Link ? Did you need many turns of preload ? Did you end up running it with the 4 port or 3 port mac valve setup with the dual port.

Cheers,

It's still using a 3 port solenoid (link one). Preload is about 10mm (didn't count turns). Not even running the dueal port WG as a dual port setup at the moment. Single was working fine. Once the link was controlling boost, converted to MAP, changed cams to new 258's (don't think cams helped anything), and upgraded to the Turbosmart BOV it seemed to hold boost alot better.

That is f**king smashing!  That has to be the street turbo of choice.

Yeah pretty stoked with the result. 260rwkw at 4000rpm with EFR transient is a freaking hoot to drive. It's my daily, so nice around town and through traffic etc.


Turbo RPM implies there's a little more on the table up to, I'm thinking larger Throttle Body, but it's a bit of a handful already so I'll be prioritising some upgrades for more stable rear end grip first.

If i was you i would go to a DBW throttle now you have a good ECU running the show. How are you interfacing turbo RPM into the link? I though plug ins had a 500hz input limit

Yeah, I'm thinking that. EFI Solutions has a 68mm Bosch Electronic Throttle body I'm looking at. Link has an e-throttle module too so SEEEEEMS pretty straight forward. But it's been a fairly rough 18 months for the old S15, lots of issues and breakage, MORE than enough power for now so that's super low on the priority's.

You are corrected. Mate made a little Arduino board to convert the signal down to a usable hz rating.
0 - 100hz = 0rpm
100 - 500hz = 200,000rpm (50,000rpm every 100hz)
And I've got that hz number logged in the Link ECU logging history now so can see it over time / rpm / etc. Bit of mucking around (mostly from my mate, Thanks Matt :) ) but certainly nicer than the ~$300+ converters and gauges. This way the Link reads it so I can also do things like safety cut or alerts against the values ie >400hz = a bad time

For those with no soldering iron experience this should do the trick

Though its an analogue input not a digital one so plan accordingly

Yeah did see and look into those, wasn't 100% of connections etc, plus mate had a spare Arduino board so was 'easier'.

    • 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.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
