are you able to overlay the -5s results?

Different dyno

-5 was RWD

8374 is 4WD.

i can, but ignoring dyno's it feels like the car has a 3.4 in it. Absolutely NO comparison.

That's where she ended up on E80.

120k turbine speed.

Scott said it will go 500 but he was happy leaving it there.

Awesome effort mate.

Monday was a public holiday over here in the West and I spent some of the day reading through your thread again from start to finish.

Your honestly and openness in your results and parts choices etc - well done mate and a big thanks.

You have convinced me to move my ass and get moving on updating my setup ;)

Awesome thread and car - can we get some updated pics of the whole car....

Cheers man.

Yeah. Sure.

Things to do;

- wash it

- wheel alignment

- remove redundant gauges and boost controller from car

- make catch can for box ? (Although it's stopped spewing. Self level FTW)

- farken drive it!

Pick up is tomorrow. 

Thats the most power anyone has made on Scotts dyno with an 8374, with still some left in the tank.

@usmair

That's roughly 26 psi tapering to 23 ish psi topend. 122,000 RPM turbine speed. If we went all in it would have been lucky to see another 0.5psi uptop. Turbo is pretty much done. 

Has anyone done a comparison with GTX twins? Hi or low, just a modern twin setup vs a modern single. 

Single still makes way more sense in terms of packaging, but I'd be curious as to what the differences were. 

Was Geoff saying they are doing twin baby EFR setups?

Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure but I think mine kept making power from 25 up to 30 psi where I told tuner to stop due to stock bottom end. The 8374 has made 550kw at 34psi on JEM's dyno before.

Maybe it was out if its efficiency range and exceeding safe turbine speeds - say past 27psi - but it made power. TBH i think JEM's dyno is a little on the happy side but the tune is good so I'm not bothered.

Mine sees 31 psi regularly and no issues in the year it has been on the car.

Boost is almost meaningless. Throw the gauge in the bin.

Want more boost? Use a less effecient setup. Put a heap of shit intercooler on it, whatever.

Top end, the boost between Pete's 3.2 and my 2.8 are the same. The difference? Most of it would be the head.

Two car's, one with a well thought out head and one with a stocker at the same turbine speed will be reading vastly different pressures. 

Pressure doesn't always mean "x" flow when comparing two setups. If I could make the same power at 10 psi, I would.

Your 30 psi may be reading the same turbine speed as my 23 psi for example. Thing is you don't know where the turbo is without a speed sensor.

As Piggaz set, the boost pressure is a tiny part of the story.  Without going far at all into the big world of turbo matching to engines etc - I'll try and give a very simple picture of what the difference between your motor at 7000rpm and Piggaz one could hypothetically be.

Say your engine at 7000rpm is running 31psi - so pressure ratio of 3.1, and has ~105% VE at those rpm.  You get a relatively bullshit but for the point of this story a reasonably descriptive 2.6 x 3.1 x 105% = 8.46 effective litres of air moved per engine cycle at 7000rpm.

Now lets looks at Piggas HEAVILY developed head/everything setup with a 2.8 litre stroker.   Lets say its at ~24psi (pressure ratio 2.63) and has ~115% VE at those rpm... 2.8 x 2.63 x 115% = 8.47.

It is entirely possible to have the same amount of air moved with much less boost using a different engine combination and the same turbo, it is entirely plausible that Piggaz' turbo is working as hard at 24psi as yours is at 31psi.    Put the same turbo on a 4G63 and you could run 35psi through it and have a LOWER turbine speed... ie, it is running more boost and is actually safer.

We talk about turbine speed being the problem, not boost.   You have no turbine speed sensor so we have no idea whether you are at a safe place or not, but if Piggaz tried running 31psi at high rpm I am certain he'd run into some kind of limit.   There is the possibility yours is actually fine, its just that the power level etc suggests that its in a place we'd not normally expect but if the dyno is happy and its making the power fine then it may actually be all good.

What kind of trap speeds are you running?  I am guessing Piggaz car could be in the territory of 140mph.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
