My money is on gtsboy

This. I half wanted to weigh in here too, but I'm sticking to my "Try not to care too much about forum conversations" pledge and he has a habit of saying things I am thinking anyway so I get the enjoyment of it without the frustration of writing lots of stuff and finding a lot of it falls on deaf ears, or gets recycled and then regurgitated back to you as though you are being taught something so this works much better for me :)

The whole way this started was comparing like setups anyway, its going kind of off topic anyway - we end up down a path of levels of extrapolation in the comparison getting bigger and bigger and it reaches a point where we may as well say "BLARH my Dad is bigger than yours". If no one else does I'll try and collect some useful data on the SS2 when I get into tuning it.... I kind of wish I still had GT3076R log data on hand, but either way its clear than the boost threshold difference is probably trivial which makes the SS2 a good thing, again because of how convenient it is price and bolt-on wise.

Yo Lithium, logs attached!

Looks like I get:

1.1bar at ~3600rpm

1.5bar at ~4300rpm

However like I said earlier, my gain is set pretty low

Also here's a virtual dyno print out, not sure how accurate this is either lol

Awesome, good data sir! Will check out the xlsx when I get to a computer but that gives a good idea. Very very similar to a GT3076R, solid looking power too :) I know VD had issues with MAP in he past, I assume it still does but still... seeing 3.6 bar on the pressure plot for a stock 25 makes my eyes water haha.

Just confirming, is externally gated?

Cheers for sharing :)

Of course you can!

Just download it, choose the right car/tyre settings and upload your logs.

You'll need to trim the logs though so it's only one WOT run in 3rd or 4th. I tried to upload an entire log and it turned out like a mess lol

I think the 2 conflicting examples of spool of E85 vs petrol goes to the heart of the matter. I am no expert but I thought I'd put my musing in here.

I'm assuming it does indeed come down to heat in the exhaust flow which comes down to comparative AFR during spooling. If tune E85 and petrol to the same lambda during spool then the extra E85 mass at a given lambda will reduce heat in the exhaust compared to the petrol tune and reduce spool. If you tune E85 to a bit leaner during spool then this effect will be minimised and perhaps even allow E85 to bring on boost sooner due to the greater power & heat generated. Since E85 gives a wide sweetspot for MBT then it does allow it to be a bit leaner during ramping up without affecting timing.

^^ This is probably very true.

If you take the freedoms given to you by E85 and run with them, you will almost certainly be able to overcome the cooler exhaust effect.

The reason I said I wasn't going to do the math is that I was sitting in San Fransisco Airport United Lounge between a 6 hour trans con flight and a 15 hour trans Pacific flight. Simply wasn't interested in anything that even seemed remotely like the work I had been doing for the previous 3 weeks. Now that I'm home, and not going to the office this weekend or Monday, I'm still not interested.

Maybe later.

I'm thinking better torque timing in the spool phase but injector performance would play a part here . A big old world injector won't react or probably atomize as well as a modern one so being rich here is probably safer overall .

Ill tell you this

My tune with the ss2

98 = ~355whp @ ~18-22 psi

85 = ~345whp @ 16 psi

The 85 tune has alot more midrange, comes on power alot harder.

Its also faster...proven at racewars.

Do you have the torque graphs? I would be interested to see your torque gains running similar power output, on the same turbo.

Updates on the GTR. 130KMs drive to see Brandon at Brae fabrications. It is now now high mount installed, running one of our 50mm external gate.

Don't know if this is a N1 GTR. Factory turbochargers removed are busing bearing N1s with steel turbine wheels. That explained all the extra power.

Turbocharger used for this evaluation is our latest billet SL20.5

I've heard few people mentioning that the Rb26dett engines are laggier at spooling up the same turbocharger as if it is installed on a Rb25det due to the lack of VCT unit. It didn't feels like the case. Be interested to see what the dyno says and comparison against standard Rb25dets using the same turbocharger on similar setups.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
