Brettus turbo 111 (the ultimate Renesis turbo ?)

Yes any porting of the siamese ports makes it worse , making them smaller ...helps.
I have tried a tighter fitting sleeve (professionally inconel welded) ... it beat itself to death and I ended up with both a dead engine and a dead turbo ! I have also vented the air injection hole to the exhaust .
Bit late now ..but it might help others get what I'm talking about .

is it making the ports smaller that helps or is it the latter opening timing?
any pics of the custom sleeve?

no worries just curious on what has been tried.
A question on tuning... Can 16psi be run on high octane without ethanol? if you run really rich and retard the timing?
This is mainly a question for flex fuel tuning for SC where you can’t change boost with ethanol content.

That said , my thoughts would be .... it might be ok for a couple of runs on a cold day .......... but one day with heatsoak etc etc ....zoom zoom -boom!

Brett, This observation is on a system w/upgraded seals, porting and whatnot. Recognizing systemically that "Everything affects everything.", in your experience does the above observation hold for a non-hardened, i.e, stock, boosted rotary? Or do the apex seals become a weak link at some point prior to the diminishing power return to boost increase ratio as described?
Thx.
Thx.
For a setup that isn't targeting maximum whp (and can't reach 400+ whp anyway) the dropoff you see is not nearly so dramatic . A greddy setup for example will just drop away gradually (till the turbo runs out of puff) but if you don't have high octane fuel , will detonate at relatively low boost/flow if conditions aren't right.
And the weakness of the engine is only exposed if you detonate ...which is why I'm ramming high octane down peoples throats these days . Running high octane will do much more for saving the engine than any modification you can do inside it .

Brett,
I've understood that tuning for and running E85 requires installation of larger injectors. Beyond that...
- What, if any, other hardware modifications are required, or a good idea, to run E85?
- Can a tune be generated to run premium (93 oct.) and E85 within the same tune, e.g. premium (0-8 psi.), and E85 (9-12psi)? Or are separate tunes required for each fuel type?
Thx.

- Thanks for chiming in. Re: running 93 & E85 on the same tune... Good to know. E85 stations are not as abundant as I'd like. So, good to know that I could run E85 w/ more boost, yet run 93 at reduced boost (when no E85 station around), on the same tune.
- What injector flows are you running: P1 / Sec / P2?
- W/ the above injector flow capacity, what max. PSI are you tuned for?
- Did you make any add'l hardware mods specifically to run E85?
Thx.

- Can you explain what you mean by "Well, not on the same tune, I have to run E85." when you said earlier "But I run E85 and 93 on the same tune,..."?
- So, if I understand correctly you're running:
- P1: R (290)
- Sec: Y (380)
- P2: B (???)
If so, what are your blues flow tested at? - W/ the above injector flow capacity, what max. PSI are you tuned for?

Yes, if I run 93 only it's pig rich. Drivable, but not ideal. And yes, that is my injector setup. I'd have to look for the numbers, I bought the injectors new from Five O motorsports and I asked for flow rates at 60psi when I ordered them. Not having enough fuel has never been an issue on my setup.

jcbrx8 .... I'm pretty sure 9krpm didn't mean to say E85 and 93 "on the same tune" .
But with what I do and recommend you can run on the same tune .
I do my tune for E28 (1 part E10 to 3 parts E85) and run at full boost on that . If I can't get E 85 anywhere close , I'll just put E10 in there and reduce boost to below 10psi. This works fine , but the on E10 it does run very rich under boost . Not too rich to cause any hesitation though so it's fine. So it can run just fine at lower boost on any combination between E28 and E10.

Found the below Exx Octane calculator:
Calculate Ethanol % of Mixture
Used it to generate the below matrix showing the resulting Exx and Oct. when the given % E85 is added to a 12 gal fill-up of 93.
For clarity... what Exx and Oct are we targeting: ~E35 @ 95 Oct ...or ~E60 @98 Oct.?
Note: This is a course approximation table as E85 octane levels generally fluctuate, 100-105, ...in addition to seasonally, and the table assumes 10% Ethanol contain in the 93 fuel as well.
Thx.

I would do more research on actual octane levels ...It is known widely that octane does not follow a calculated result as that table suggests .
Also : that table assumes 93 has 10% ethanol in it .

Yes, I am aware that E85 Octane level fluctuates (100-105) and also seasonally. So, just set content to lowest level, 100, to generate a course approximation to generate a quick table. And that's accurate (for me ;-): the 93 around here contains 10% Ethanol.
Good points: I'll go back and note such for anyone else that may view it.

Some light reading :
http://www.speedperf6rmanc3.com/cont...%20Article.pdf
Note the as tested octane rating for E50 vs those in above tables
In the conclusions from that study :
Intermediate blends near E20 can provide the majority of the
performance benefit of E85 and enable strategies that offset
their lower energy penalty.
