Hi Jim,

I find these results amazing, 20awkw is a substantial increase!

I have booked my final tune with crd for next week...I will post my results here for everyones perusal.

Regards,

Marko.

Hey Guys,

Here is dyno sheet of a R33 GTR with a new engine we built with R34 N1 turbochargers with before and after of 98 and 100 octane shell fuel.

Car is used for circuit only.

CRD

  • 2 weeks later...
ive had my safc tuned for 98 octane.. if i use this extreme stuff would i REALLY need a retune?

Only if you rev the engine out, or value your pistons' life spans.

The fact that higher RON level means you can run more timing isn't as important for the retune, but the fact that its oxygenated means your engine will run lean comparable to your 98RON tune is why your current setup may not be good for the engine.

If you've got it tuned close to the edge on 0% ethanol fuel, the E5 Optimax Extreme might push it to a point where you get detonation.

This is big I actually calculated 41 extra four wkw for extra 2 octane points. Must have had more timing and maybe more boost added to do this?

We did same on S15 yesterday and made almost 20rwkw with a bit more boost and timing.

There is a question mark with the Ethanol in it effecting injector seals as well as early model injector design and electrolysis. But hey I am going to use it and guess it should be ok or they would not release it, or are we all test pilots?

well, i had a sip of it yesterday and it tastes no where near as good as bp ultimate. true.

It certainly looks like a good option for race use. Much cheaper than the options from elf etc.

full tune and comparo to C16 coming soon....keep you posted

full tune and comparo to C16 coming soon....keep you posted

I used it in my Slot Car at Wakefield yesterday and no problems and car felt strong all day.

I've filled half a tank yesty.... just a question tho... I have a stock ecu.. how do i reset it... and.. do i need to?

Reset does jack....

I had mine on the dyno ~3years ago, did a few little tests - pod vs stock airbox, ecu reset. All showed a zero increase in power anywhere in the rpm.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
