can anybody enlighten me on pulley sizes, I measure the one on the 2 today and it looks to be about 167mm, is that standard? somehow I doubt it because it has the standard tensioner pulley and that is less than 2mm away from the crank pulley

175 mm is as big as you can go with the std WP pulley.
Sounds like you allready have the HKS on there.
Get a good boost gauge and see what she is doing

hmmmmm....... SWEEEET 
umm it already has a really good boost guage, the problem is because I am tall, and its position, I can't see it, my knee is in the way, I have to move it. but if the ABV is still connected she won't really boost more than 8.5psi, where it bleeds anyway, once I have learnt to drive it I may block the ABV again

i cant see how a slightly smaller diameter in the pipe will make it laggy???
what happens when you put your finger a little over the end of the water hose? the water comes out with more speed/velovity or what ever you want to call it.
|
Ok well i can answer this one as fluid dynamics is my field of expertise !
Do you want to long, short or medium story ???
OK short first, i think i will make very little difference.
Medium, basically what will happen is that it will cause a slight restriction in the system but lets put it in perspective. As the air travels from the discharge of the turbo to the cylinder head there are all sorts of restrictions/losses. The first is the friction of the air an all surfaces of the pipe/duct the air travels along (usually minimal as th surfaces are quite smooth). The second is from what is called velocity pressure and this results from any change in direction of the air flow path at a specific velocity. So any bends, offsets expansions contractions, filters, intercoolers and the like all cause losses in the system, furthermore the pressure drop increases to the square of the velocity (speed).
So what will happen at the offending bend will be a slight inrease in speed due to the reduction in cross sectional area, therefore the pressure drop will be slightly higher, as it is a fairly long (not a tight radius bend) the difference will be minimal, propably be insignificant in terms of the whole intake sytem, i would guess less than a couple of percent. But if you are chasing every possible kW then go ahead and mandrel bend but how about the rest of the system, there are plenty of other ways of making the system more efficient and making more power.
basically what you need is the greatest "gauge" pressure not "velocity" pressure. The best way to describe the velocity pressure is Feral hosing down his filthy Feroza with his finger on the end of the hose, this is a localised flow restriction that increases the fluid velocity, this imparts effectivly a greater impact of the water on the surface and remove the crud more easily than letting it just fall onto the surface. But what you have to understand is that if the pressure provided is great enough it will have negligable effect on the total volumetric flow and that is what we are after.
I have some really good text books on the subject if anyone is interested, i have tried to keep it as simple as possible but its difficult without some hands on testing.
hope this helps
|
so feral is right the air would have a higher velocity but may cause a slight pressure drop.
thanks for clearing that up for us scott
im interested in reading some of those books ill have to grab them off you when we meet up...

i thought the standard pulley was 145mm ? nevo make a 164 as well as the 175. most people seem to go for the 175 (obviously) but you may have 164. i believe hks and a few other jap mobs make them as well in the 165 & 175.

as far as i remember should be 145mm standard, 160mm Blitz or HKS, 165mm HKS or Blitz, 175mm Nevo and Cusco.

Yep you are right i was having a look last night
145 stck about 8 psi
155 about 10 psi (hks)
165 about 12 (cusco)
175 about 13-14 (nevo)
But yep there are a lot of manufacurers that made different sizes if you go to Robs web page there is a whole stack of useful, info i dont have the link but someone surely will....4agte

hehe cool, so I would either have the 164 or 165mm pulley, good for 12psi you say.....
Just took the car for rego, I spent yesterday fixing some rego issues, so I should have it running in no time.
My dad was amazed, he was following me in our mk3 ford capri (his car) eroupe import 3L v6 efi, and I pulled heaps of distance on half throttle, damn this car is quick

My hopes of making it to dyno day have changed from small miracle to large miracle. Rang the RTA yesterday and found they have a one month wait to get an emissions test. 
So I'm not going to bust a nut anymore and take a bit more time, but if it fires up today and I get excited. I might trailer it out there or see if I can be booked in for a 'dyno tune' and drive it out there as 'traffic'

does it still have rego if it does you could allways drive it to the dyno place where your going to get it tuned to pass emissions arent you
as for the link to robs page this is a very usefull resource if your going to do a gze conversion i practically copied everything rob did even jacked the car up the same way to get the engine in out was a bit dodgy tho dont think ill be doing that again...

It ran out of rego in March, I remeber wanting to have the thing finished before christmas - what a joke.
AFAIK you can still drive completely unregistered driectly to and from a place that work required for rego is taking place. If I do get it running today, I'll talk to the board and approach the Dyno place and see if they can psuedo book me in for a tune. And if they'll tune me before hand I'd be wrapped too

Also, when I rang the RTA I enquired about keeping my number plates on hold till I get rego. They said because it was 2 days out of the 3 month limit, I'd have to hand the plates in and re-order them which would mean I'd have to pay the stupid yearly fee for them.
Do you guys think I should
a) take them in to the RTA and plead my case and see if they'll make an exception
b) just hang on to the plates until I get rego. I don't think they give out your rego number if you haven't returned your plates.
At the moment I'm planning on doing a combination of both. Take the plates in tomorrow morning and if they say I have to pay for them again and anually, stick my finger up and walk my arse back out the door with the number plates still in hand.

if it were me id go to the rta without the plates and plead for an exemption (i dont think they will make an exception as its a government department) you might get lucky..
that way if they say no they wont ask for the plates back... and no i dont think they can re-issue the plates if they havent been handed back in but someone might be able to reserve them untill you do hand them back in.....
that was exactly what i was thinking with the whole u need to get it tuned to get past emissions so you have to drive it there.
I didnt think you required an emissions check for an engineers certificate all but 1 engineer said all i needed was a noise check

Cracker of an idea Martin! I'll drop by the RTA on the way to the car now.
My engineer didn't say anything about a noise check but said I needed the emissions as the engine I am putting in is ex-japan.
He's going to do me a preliminary check next week so that everything is sorted pending the emissions test. And if I get the car started today, I'm going to ring the emissions place and ask them to contact me if anyone cancels. And if they don't do that, ring the RTA every morning and check for cancellations

yeah i heard the emissions place is a bit hard to get into but its free i hear so i guess its worth waiting for.
yeah thats real strange about the emissions test ive obviously put in a jap engine and i spoke to 5 engineers and 4 of them said they only required a sound check either way i guess its good to know that the car will be legal emissions wise....
Would be good if you could do a bit of a write up as to what was required to get the car engineered the costs and the adresses and contacts of the people you dealt with and your experience with them....
its a bit of a grey area for me...

ok guys im in need of some rego tyres and ive got a few choices..
has anyone had experience with any of these 3 tyres if so what did you think mind you they are cheap crap so you probably wont think much... oh and how much you pay for them???
all tyres are 205/50/r15 and costs are for 1 tyre obviously
Nankang ex-500 price $100
Falken ZE-326 $115 (on special aparantly)
Sava Intenza $120
any comments would be helpful

So the other ones wont cut the mustard for rego ??? did not think they would, but to answer your qs
I believe the Nankangs make good burn out rubber
I KNOW the Falkens make great burnout rubber
And Sava...these sound intense man
You knw the story, you pay for what you get....if you are lucky, but seriously its pretty hard to go past any of them for those sort of $ just get the rego thing done then
BAG THEM UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS if you print out the tables i just posted they are fine

i dont think they will get past rego they are pretty bald not really grippy i did a 180 the other day just giving it a bit of stick arround a corner 
they just had no grip whatsoever.
so out of respect for other road users i need new tyres.
Im not that im expecting much more from cheap tyres but im sure it will be an improvement i think the old tyres on the rear are allmost down to the belts on the inside of one of the tyres
just fyi scott the tyres havent lost 1psi of pressure so far so im pretty happy with that
i think they will end up getting smoked im pretty sure havent had a chance to smoke the ones you gave me  but i still have the old 14's
im edging towards the falkens for the moment unless some1 else has any comments

Dood,
What do you mean about flushing the intercooler ?
What came out of it ??????
Also with the boost gauge, mine is a pretty expensive Autometer jobbie but its not real accurate also it does not zero. Just check when the engine is off that the needle actually sits on zero, it may not be giving an accurate reading.
But you are right different set ups can give varied boost pressures even tho they have the same pulley size, there are heaps of variables !!

yes, pulling the i/c off and flushing it out (i like to use general purpose thinners, clean and evaprorates well) will clean out all the blow-by oil sludge etc that may of collected in the i/c over the years.

Dood,
What do you mean about flushing the intercooler ?
What came out of it ??????
Also with the boost gauge, mine is a pretty expensive Autometer jobbie but its not real accurate also it does not zero. Just check when the engine is off that the needle actually sits on zero, it may not be giving an accurate reading.
But you are right different set ups can give varied boost pressures even tho they have the same pulley size, there are heaps of variables !!
|
yeah i find my autometer isnt accurate
|
Damn, I thought autometer were meant to be pretty good (and I've hence started kitting mine out with them). What model gauges do you have? and are they the USA made or China made ones (do they have made in USA on the front)?

mine seems to show 1psi off what it should be but having said that it may not be the guage more than likely my install job...

Mine is USA also its out by about 2 PSI, mainly because it does not zero, we checked the calibration when it had the Motec tuned last, it was about 2 PSI out across the board so its a zero error.
I think the install would be pretty hard to stuff up.
if its reading then it should be ok.......unless you dropped or something like that
PS i was having major traction issues this morning its time to burn up the 225 45 AVS then look for some new rubber

yeah mine reads 1psi low on 2 different cars and ive heard of autometer boost guages reading 1 or 2 psi low b4... rob on his webpage also said his autometer guage read 1psi low....
ooh ooh ooh dont burn them up without me or make sure you get it on video (on private property ofcourse )

ive got a splitfire guage... the part of me that knows about device calibration shudderes at this. but the part of me that is a backyard mechanic loves it
when i got it it zero'd just fine. sat perfectly on zero. read jut right. then... before i even got it installed... erin kinda dropped it it then instead of reading zero read -8 so i ripped it open an bent the spring in it until it read zero. now it works just fine nice an accurate.. at least it reads max 7psi everytime which is waht it should

My Autometer seems to be the only one I've ever heard of which is accurate.

Nice one!
Was that done in 3rd gear? 5000rpm @125kph seems too high for 4th.
And in which case does 3rd give a higher reading than 4th?
I'm so very confused when it comes to dyno readings.

Speaking of gauges, I'm trying to kit mine out with boost, intake temp and A/F. 3 little 52mm gauges in a DIN slot would look trick I reckon.
Anyways, got the boost and intake temp (gee that's an expensive bugger) and I'm thinking of ditching the autometer for the A/F as they only seem to do the *cough* crap *cough* narrowband ones.
Are any of you guys running a wideband sensor?
I'm thinking of saving my pennies for this little fella http://www.widebandcommander.com/productinfo.htm, seems like one of the better quality/looking/value ones on the market. What do you guys reckon?

nah thats 4th you would neva get 200kmph in 3rd gear....
thats awesome scott cant wait to get another ride in it now
i remeber some1 saying on these forums that making 130kw atw with a sc12 on a 4agze was impossible.....
what did they do to get the extra power????
did the cold weather have something to do with it???

Whoops, for some reason I thought "dyno's should be done in 4th & I'm on about 4000 at 125" I just forgot that I would be in 5th, derrrr..
That's a fantastic number then! I thought 139 in 3rd would have been pretty good though

is there a particular reason why you want a/f dave dave that guage looks good tho...
i hear that exhaust temperature guages give you more warning about impending detonation than afr guages can...
