News?

 

Sometime this afternoon
when all the rusty old classic knackers are done lol

 

The car made 440.3 on straight 95 octane fuel
a gain of 18 bhp and 40 lbs torque
the ethanol map will be done next week as the fuel needs be drained out and car reset up for the second map

 

I should of done a lot in hindsight
brought a standard car to the clinc and said here this is what I want ring me when it’s ready

 

Fantastic news Raggy, that’s some good numbers for 95 octane!

Very keen to see the boost/rpm plot but understandable you need to keep these for now til the OD turbo is sorted. Can you say what max boost level you were running?

 

I don’t know the inns and outs of boost , duty cycles etc
I’ve seen the graph
more news to follow this coming week

 

All going well I think the car will be completed this coming week

 

when do the rest of us get to see the graph then?

 

Small bit of confusion had to drain the fuel out as it still had a drop of ethanol fuel in the tank so the 440.3 figure can be discarded
it just made 420.8 on 95 fuel at 1.8 bar on the sc42
its currently been road tested and then on tonits final
ethanol map and car is done

I have the graph for today’s map I’ll share over next few weeks
after things are resolved with this Owens turbo

 

Have they swapped over the headers yet? Is that 420bhp on standard twin scroll headers now?

That's still very good for 95 ron fuel to be honest.

 

be interesting to see the graph to compare the profiles then as thats near the same figures as your owens turbo - but i guess SC42 will be a lot less laggy in getting that 420bhp

 

The result is on oe twin scroll headers

 

 

420 on 95 is still pretty good in my book.

Back when I ran a VF35 in my '00 RA. It made 330 on 95 and 360 on 99. I'm not saying the difference for yours would be near 10% but there would be significant gains just changing to 99 or in your case running Ethanol.

 

It done 422 on 95 and 469.6 on ethanol on Owens turbo

 

what did the SC42 do on the RCM headers?

are you going to run the owens turbo on std headers so you have direct comparison figures.

 

Already done ,

 

451.7 @ 1.7 bar on the sc42 final mapping results
setting suspension up and it will be coming home

 

I take it thats on the ethanol mix?

 

Drive it home, lad.

 

Job done!

 

Not done yet more issues
the coilovers is bottoming out in the bump stops
they been removed and fitted correctly and geometry redone
and then it’s for cleaning and collecting

451 was on ethanol mix
which in reality mixed with 95 octane is around 98 octane fuel

 

pretty much spot on then as its supposed to be a 450hp turbo, you must be happy with that?

 

Sort of. Remember this is the brand new SC46X turbo from the Clinic. I'm not sure I've seen twin scrool results until now, but I believe the single scroll version cracked 500bhp a month or so back. So the turbo is capable of slightly more than it's making here. I believe it's been wound back slightly to try and preserve the standard JDM engine for a little while longer.

Great result though.

 

Turbo wasn’t pushed
1.7 bar only
400lbs of torque doing well on a standard engine.

 

Oh, I thought you were running the SC42+ Raggy and it was Tidgy with the SC46x?

 

Yes man im
on the sc42 ts and tidgy is on sc46x

 

Ah my bad, got that wrong! I stand corrected. haha.

In which case, yes that's a great result from the SC42+ unit.

 

my ears were burning,,, haha

yeah as above, 46 is more suited to the 2.5.

 

1.7 bar on the standard studs can lift your cylinder heads dude. It would be a shame to blow the headgaskets after all this work and money spent on the car
