Eww, i stepped in Turbosmart. :blush: LOL i dont like the sound of them...dont know how much substance there is to my observation but they seem to give the note a much higher pitch :D

I could have said HKS but the price of them is frightening with the ex-rate. Turbosmart are a local product and must be okay if guys running 6 second passes who need precise boost control are using them.

My HKS GTII was the other way tonight Dave...we had trouble getting it to lower the boost. Turned out it was the Blitz EBC not doing what we wanted it too...so we switched it off and adjusted boost by increasing pre-load on the spring.

Just finished up at JEM.

End result was 325rwkw at only 16psi!

So this is 30rwkw more than i was running last tune with 1psi less boost. Unbelievable stuff.

Unfortunately there is still an issue with holding boost. Needs a 60mm gate like Pauls or upgrading the turbo.

Straight to 22psi and bleeds all the way down to 16psi, BUT the power curve is still rising lol

Will post a sheet tomorrow.

Makes bucket loads of torque, Adam mentioned its making almost the same torque as a recent 400rwkw 2J he tuned!

Should be good fun at Powercruise this week :thumbsup:

lol, now go get some damn sleep! :thumbsup:

a bit shy off my guess though :D

At 24psi we were aiming for the turbo could not flow that much air for some reason. Would have been 350 for sure.

It is happy where it is, so ill enjoy it for a while.

Well done excellent result. Mine was doing very similar spiking to 24psi and only holding 18-19. fixed that issue with a better actuator. Bet it feels good on the street.

Awesome result!! Thats promising stuff for both the turbo and E85 - I can imagine it being fun on the road :thumbsup:

The boost droppign is really strange, you should be able to get more power/boost out of that car - the fact that the power was still climbing despite boost dropping SURELY indicates there is more compressor in it? Maybe something funny up with the wastegate setup or something?

What is the wastegate spring set for? Maybe go straight for a 1.2bar one!

If he has the stronger waste gate spring in it its set for 60psi, then its all down to how you setup the boost/vacume lines into the gate and the preload that makes the different boost levels.

Have you tried connecting A&B to the boost controller and port D to the boost source instead of C? or ports D&A to the boost source and port B to the boost controller? they should result in a higher minimum boost levels.

If we could get boost to flatline ar 22psi, it would make out of this world numbers for the turbo size. E85 seems to unlock of alot of power from any setup.

The turbo size isn't to be underestimated of course, a lot of people sell them short imho :D Regardless it sounds like awesome fun, and there is going to be more in it yet if you get a little more greedy :( Would love to know how it would go at the strip...

how big are your injectors mate?

740cc Nismo

Yea Dave go port D which they say to use if the boost is spiking. Also try the larger diameter Valve seat so it flows more ;)

Installing the bigger valve seat is the next step.

bad news.. your injectors wont supply more then about 330 - 340rwkw with e85. I hit a major brick wall on weekend with my 740's and i had to go back to pump and put e85 on hold for a while. & i have a 044 and was using 52psi base pressure.

Guilt, did you monitor the pressure under boost to see if it stayed 1:1 from the base ?

Just asking as there is a guy in the RB25DET turbo upgrade thread with 555cc nismo's doing 320rwkw on E85...

Gary

yeah i hooked the fuel system up to the dyno - my fuel system is fine. with pump gas it holds the afr fine 11.7 to 10.8 on boost.

He must be running his injectors at 100% flat out with a good fuel system as well.

I am not interesed in running my car on the edge of the fuel system, i have invested too much time and money in the engine to risk a lean out and blow up.

Now i am running 80% injectors at 374rwkw and its nice and safe for me.

I think I wont be going back to e85 without 1000 - 1200 cc injectors, but when i do it will be a permanent switch so there will need to be many more servo's around with the stuff.

    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
