Turbine

I not sure of what the rev's were at 150klms though full boost was reached by 6000rpm and max power where it carried through to rev cut at 7700rpm so id have to say it would be around the mid to high 6grand mark

Roy

Thanks ,Dont wanna aim to high just breaking into the 11 second bracket would be a feat in itself but it would be good wouldnt it an 11.5 :P

jnr32r

Tyres i run are mickey tompson ET street 26x10.50 I drive there with them on, there dot approved

Hi Guys latest update

New exhaust is on and retuned made a little more power but what its got now is how it stays thinks its past the limits of the standard plenum. Heres lastest dyno done this afternoon.

awesome power there Peter, congrats.

i noticed your Intake Temp is pretty high.

Thank You

Yes it was but Ive put alot of that down to 2 hours on the dyno fist couple runs it was around the 37deg mark then started to climb . I want to do some testing on that but at the moment just enjoy the car the way it is for the moment

Cheers Peter

Hey pete i got the same turbo external 3040r (.63) however no cams but a custom plenum and i made 270 at 22psi.

i thought the bigger ex housing would have been laggier than that mine comes on about 5100 did the cams do much to bring it on earlier?

cheers

Andrew

I would say yes as they allow more air through but the porting and polish of the head would help that along as well .Have you posted a dyno graph would like to check it out, mines abit of a weird curve

Cheers Peter

The idea behind the bigger exh. housing is to allow less back pressure.

Less backpressure = higher volumetric efficiency at high rpm.

In otherwords, less backpressure = better cylinder filling = less boost required to make the same power.

no havent posted a graph didnt even get a printout.. pretty much jus a ski jump straight up and holds the whole way to rev limit 7800.

We were gonna keep turning up boost to see how far the stock 20 woul go but ran outtta fuel.

To be honest it's a bit to laggy for me at first i didnt mind but it makes it hard for me to do what i need it to id love it to come on 1000 earlier. thats why i asked bout the cams .

My theory was cams and race fuel with a really aggresive ignition advance might bring it down to the 4000 mark.

Hmmm, well since you've got the smaller .63 exhaust housing,cams and maybe a bit of porting may help but to get down to 4000rpm is a bit of an ask I think as it's a big turbo on a little RB20 . still stranger things have happened 12 months ago our power level was considered unrealistic but there's a few rb20's there now .

Did your's from memoey flatten out like mine does when it reached max power ? Would still like to resolve that issue a bit latter on though

Cheers Peter

Can adding cams do much to bring the boost threshold down? at the moment i get full boost at 4700rpm (garret GT25R 0.64) and would be awesome to be able to bring it down to around 4200rpm. is that realistic? I already have the cams, they are HKS 264's with 9mm lift but i havent installed them yet as i wanted to see what is was like without them first. Also if i install these cams do i have to upgrade the valvesprings if i dont rev the engine any harder? current rev limit is 7500rpm & have had no issues with valve bounce so far.

Cheers.

I would be very doubtful that cams alone will give you that sort of change.

I would assume a change in exhaust housing whould do much more...and i saw about a 300-400rpm improvement going to a much smaller exhaust housing.

In all seriousness, if you are not going to use the cams then PM me...if i have the coin i would be very interested in them as im wanting some cams so that i can run a bit more boost.

Otherwise, give them a try and see how they go...but even with a good tune i would say you will be lucky to brign it down 300rpm, thats provided there isnt anything wrong with the current tune

Cheers for your advice, i think ill try installing them & see what happens. ive seen various results with guys using cams & cam gears to dial in a fatter midrange or top end by advancing/retarding the cam gears. hopefully it will bring it down slightly, even 300rpm would be great as where the power comes in now it is quite hard to drive in a drift enviroment & you have to be fairly ruthless with it wich has resulted in several broken gearboxes. Current tune is good, definately not the problem & i'm happy with the power output (258rwkw) just i bit more responce would be nice :ermm:

speaking to my new work mate the other day I found out that his 32 made it's 320rwkw on its low boost setting 1.6 bar

when they wound it up to 1.8 it just wheel span once it came on to boost

mmmmmm cant wait for my ride in it.

His dog box is still at ppg after break in the second night he had it.

mmmmm 2.3lt + T88 laggy city has a new king 6,000rpm boost come on

Hi Guys

Ran the car at wsid on wednesday night but was having trouble hooking up . Was running M/T et street radials and was still having traction issues !st ,2nd and a little in 3rd still. Ran a 12.4,12.3 and a 12.2 and on the last run since times were geting better really put some heat into the tyre's but low and behold broke a drive axle on the line .Mph was up now running 116mph but 60ft times were woful couldnt get better than a 2.000 so give it a couple weeks and have another go at that elusive 11 second pass

Cheers Peter

  • 2 weeks later...

Back from the dead. My thing finally got to turn its wheels in anger again.

It hadnt been driven for over a year, and i didnt get a chance to put the oil cooler back on, but changed the oil, drove 200kms, changed the oil and filter again and went racing. 3 days of abuse and plenty of 8 something rev limit and Sunday afternoon at 1.5bar at Sandown and the thing lived to tell the tale.

No blow by, no pinging, no problem it seems. Only did one flat out lap at a time because was worried about temps, but have to kind of laugh that it loved the 1.5bar....

Going to change the oil this weekend and send it off to Castrol to see if the sample has coolant/particles etc in it.

the silver bullet lives on after hibernation ;-)

good stuff dude, good to see the car is back in action again.

i'm dying to see it in anger.

Who ever said the rb20 couldnt make the numbers eh? if i remeber correctly your running an f-con right silver? did you get the navigator with it?

i recently had my car tuned aswell. banged out 220rwkw@14psi before we ran into missfire issues and couldnt push anymore boost into it.. splitfires here we come!

    • 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
