what kind of afr and timing are you guys running with sc46 on v-power?

 

lol he only did it on sunday, he will beat that, it was only on low boost, no nos.

 

Timing will be dictated by compression ratio and boost, AFR varies from 11 to 11.8 - 1.

 

Are there any plans for a SC36 or 38 with a BB core?

I'm just about to have a VF35 fitted to my legacy for now, but in the near future want a super responsive 350ish bhp. I'm after a nice early spool rather than big numbers, its never gonna be a race car

 

Yes they are available now with BB core mate. ;-)

 

Is the sc40 available with the bb core?

 

Hi,

we are probably not going to BB the SC40 Billet as the SC38 BB Billet will cover the power given by the sleeve bearing SC40 Billet with better spool than an SC38 sleeve bearing billet, if that makes sense.

Cheers
Kev

 

Cheers again Kev, yeah it makes perfect sense, I think closer to the time I need to have a chat with you to see what my best option is, for my goals.

 

kev. A 2.35 with fettled heads and 14mm studs. The big question what turbo? Fast road car with track days????

Come on spill the beans, got a build looming

 

lol! All in good time mate.

When you up at Pod next?

 

Hi,

without doubt for fast spool, plenty of power and not having to wring its neck for figures its got to be the GT30 Billet with external waste-gate and rotated pipework.

Beans spilt.

cheers
Kev

 

Probably not for a few months. But I've still got your number, would be great to see you run again. Still have memories of me doing my best to get off the line as quick as possible only to be passed by you just before the finish line like I was stood still

 

which housing mate?

 

.63

 

a .63 on a gt30, why not a gt35??? any downsides other than lag?

 

For road gt30 billet with .63 wins. Not laggy and plenty enough power on vpower to see off most contenders and scare yourself and quick for odd track or drag run on full weight car.

If more track and drag and some road then gt35 billet with .82 would suit

Imho
Simon

 

Thanks Simon, much aprreciated

 

Nothing wrong with your's I hope?

Yes, 2010 was quite amusing especially that first run! My start was pants indeed!

I ran her at Pod 2 odd weeks and boy she is now quicker! Terminals are up to 136 from 128 and we didn't run full boost on the day so more to come. There is a thread on 22b about it with vid.

I'm now on the Scoobyclinic Blouch Billet 35 which is crazy! We got 677.8 on neat V Power on RCM's Dyno...and they are reading lower from past results on mine, Madhammers and a couple of others who have run there.

Big thanks to Kev at Scoobyclinic for the faith in the car and sorting me out!

 

Post the vid up on here mate,I'd like to see it[not a member of 22B]

 

No probs here you go....

Anyone thinks that small fiesta is suppose to be slow think again....it had a scoob 2.5 lump running nitrous!


Madhammer's on the right....mine on the left at Pod 2 weeks ago:



Big thanks to Paul Blamire and Rich at Zen Performance for their support and making it a successful day for both Clive and I.

 

My legs are on the right too

 

looks like you were hung over or leaned back quick to get out of shot lol

 

I wasn't the hung over one

 

Hello, this is my first post here and I hope it's not too long and boring as I really want to get my scooby going as it should after all the money and time(well not my time but the huge time without my car during the build)I have put in it.
I have been waiting for scoobyclinic's answer/hints on what to do with my car and especially with its poor turbo spool up (1bar at~3400rpm and full boost(~1.25bar at 3700-3800rpm, 4th gear on v-power -got from syvecs logs after making several 4th gear pulls on street) Yes, 1.25 bar max. because or at least I think so - my tuner is just overly cautious because these newer 2.5l engines with this kind of power are new to them. Anyway, I didn't get answers to my emails so I try again in here as spring is there and time to remap the car is soon here. When I have read only praising writings about sc46 on 2.5l in this billet turbo thread(1bar@ 2600-2800rpm... and full boost around 3000rpm), I can only wonder why my car is so bad as I think that kind of spool is what you get from 2.0l without avcs - unbelievable bad result for 2.5 litre with avcs I would think. And the saddest thing is that my tuner said that it can't be made much better - is that possible - Can you even tune the car to have so bad spool up with my cars spec or can anyone see that I'm missing some important component upgrades? And because I'm not living in UK, bringing the car to scoobyclinic is unfortunately not an option.

All I want is max reliable power with the best possible spool and as I don't do any track days or anything like that, just varying brisk road driving on weekends but nothing too stressfull and lengthy for the engine so my max reliable power can probably be even little higher...

What would be the limits for standard 2.5l block(not pinned or sleeved)? I've read here something about 460bhp, but as I see it, it's the pressure in the cylinder that causes these failures(e.g. head gasket or cracked sleeve/block) so wouldn't it be save for the engine as long as the torque is kept somewhere near/below 500 lb/ft(or is it 480)?

And as I have now a possibility to use E85, I wonder if it would be possible to take even little more(bhp) out of my engine safely by keeping the torque all the time below 500 but keeping it up a little higher in rev range(if possible with E85 vs. v-power) and gaining so a few or even plenty of bhps?(like putting a bigger turbo to a car with weak internals and keeping the pressure(torque) in the cylinder safe, but just a bit longer)

Are there some special tricks in mapping syvecs(e.g. compared to simtek which my tuner is very familiar with) with v-power and especially E85 vs. v-power to get everything(safely!) out of the engine and e.g. if you mapper gets everything out with v-power(hopefully) - can he do it also with E85 easily or at least with a bit of extra time?

So here is the spec of my car(MY06 european Hawkeye STI 2.5l(avcs) 6-speed):
Forged internals(wiseco)
ACL bearings
ARP bolts
Head gaskets
Standard heads and cams(adj. cam sprockets)
1000cc injectors
Manifold spacers
SC headers and up-pipe(heat wrapped)
SC46 billet turbo
3" exhaust with race cat
Perrin turbo inlet hose(BMC cone and CAI from fog light cover)
Perrin FMIC
Oil cooler
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Uprated Clutch
Syvecs ecu

At the end a question about turbo blanket. My tuner told me he couldn't fit a T3-blanket over sc46 because wg actuator arm is on the way and that there is a risk that blanket would prevent it from moving freely - so how you have managed to fit the blanket on sc46?

I hope that at last this summer(car was at the tuners garage almost the whole last summer!) there is yet another overly happy billet sc46 owner out there

 

what are your figures? looking at the spec i'd of thought you'd be getting around 450/450 unless i missed something?

 

Wait for the mappers on here to advise. My 46 has a blanket on so you are being told ****e

 

Ignore - I can't read!!!

 

Nothing wrong with mine at all mate. Just getting married in under 2 weeks, so need to settle in with finances etc before I start playing in the car again

Sounds awesome. Can't wait to see the video from the Pod

 

With my current "max" v-power map the max boost is this +1.2 bar and what I've read here I assume that with boost around 1.6-1.7 bar you would get those 450/450 figures or better, but with 1.2 bar I think it is closer to 400...
