I'm sort of committed to single scroll now. I thought long and hard about twin scroll, but decided against it in the end when I bought the manifold. If I was going to do twin scroll, I wanted twin gates rather than the divided plumbing from the manifold, but decided the extra heat, packaging and point of failure were issues for me.

 

You make a good point with the diff ratio though. At the moment the diff is stock, and I know it's going to be wayyy too short for the power I'm aiming for around Barbagallo, I'll be on limiter in 4th or having to go to 5th for half of the straights, which is where you lose seconds. So I know I need to go taller, and hadnt really thought about that with picking a turbo.

 

I rejected split pulse/twin gate for generally similar reasons.  Mainly because everything gets so busy and so hot. A properly thought out and executed divided pipe to a 60mm gate is what I'd consider if split pulse was chosen as "the next step".  Truth (for me) is that there's too many other areas requiring priority consideration if you want to make the combination faster.  The next step (for me) is to make the driver faster... :)

Generally, the GTX3576 makes a lot of sense for tractability and a wide useable torque range regardless of whether single or split

Okay thread necro!

Back it again with the GTX3576R Gen 2. New motor, with same-ish parts bar the Kelford 264/272, ATi Balancer, Nitto Oil Pump, Plazmaman Intake and Plazmaman Cooler.

IATs are nice and low now and very consistent run after run. The previous HDi core would heatsoak quite fast where as the Plazmaman core didn't. Post run it recorded a max of 29 degrees C, where as the old HDi core would shoot up to 40.

Pretty good having Alex build the motor, giving me warranty on it although I'm tuning it. He did ask for a few additional trims to be added and for timing to be taken out in the midrange however he knows I will track this car and the motor is running H beams not I Beams. 

Managed 437.9kW at 1.7bar dropping down to 1.5bar. I suspect with the gate vented to atmosphere and no cat the motor should naturally make a but more power. It's a bit shy of my unrealistic goal of high 400s but let's me honest that was a number I threw in the air a few years back.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
