Brettus, did you ever consider getting a compressor wheel with less blades, this should offer more air flow at low pressure ratio, don't shoot though I am trying to think out loud

There is heaps of flow left in the compressor I have now ..... If only I could use it !

Something interesting : The GTX3582 has almost identical characteristics to the 9180 compressor up until around 2.5Pr/58lbs and will match it all the way up till around 66lbs/min/(0.5kg/s) ...

My numbers plotted on matchbot....

While the 8374 looks a lot different - the similar to a GTX3576 up to that point.

Brett, Wouldn't we expect the system to experience unstable flow operating so close to surge line below 4k rpm on the 9180 compressor?

Thx

I don't know , I have never experienced surge ..... All I can tell you is that I'm not seeing any sign of that on the GTX3582

Ok. Just a curious thought. Nevertheless, the 83mm wheel appears well matched...particularly efficient in the "get at 'em" range.

Yes, the 83 is def. a better match for the Renesis for all types of driving except on the track.

Thanks man.
Not sure what you meant re the knife comment (maybe something to do with a certain naysayer ? ) . BTW I've made a few more minor tweaks and have booked her in for another dyno next week .
I think it can do better than 424 ;) ...............

JimmyBlack 03-26-2018 03:44 PM

Looking forward to hearing about these sneaky "minor tweaks". Fingers crossed they net you some gains.

I think "twisting the knife" was referring to making us even more jelous of your setup.

None of these will give much hp but every little bit helps :

1/Realign PPF (had a vibration even though it was set to Mazda specs) so engine and diff at same angle
2/Replace the greddy cast elbow off the IC with a swept bend . You reminded me about that one ...cheers for that. I was shocked when I pulled it off to find it had an ID of only 53mm !
3/Increase wastegate boost cut rpms a little.
4/Tweak fueling so I can raise boost a little.

Yeah when I did my build I just bought a Long Radius 90deg silicone coupler to replace this piece, another benefit is that it's two less connections in the charge piping.

Absolutely !
I'm annoyed at myself for not seeing it earlier !

100% correct sir. Me more than you I guess:)

madrotor 03-30-2018 11:37 AM

Brett, how much air are you moving at this WHP level ??

Brettus 03-30-2018 03:42 PM

It's around 420g/s(56lbs/min) from the maf readings ,but hard to know how accurate those are. It seems to line up pretty well with the Matchbot calculations.

madrotor 03-30-2018 03:44 PM

Did you connect the SSV to the VDI connector for better control over when it opens ?? Forgive me if this has been asked before, I know it was mentioned either in this thread or Slash's build thread

Brettus 03-30-2018 03:55 PM

I have tried that in the past ...but no , not at the moment . I just reset the SSV table to have it open at 4000 . Which does help the turbo to spool up a little quicker and avoids the hesitations you get if you keep the stock settings .

madrotor 04-04-2018 10:17 AM

Brett, how do you log the exhaust temperature from multiple sources simultaneously?

Brettus 04-04-2018 12:19 PM

What are you trying to do with that ?

madrotor 04-04-2018 12:37 PM

You posted exhaust back pressure from your runners I think, I was just wondering how do you log it that's all

ah .... you said "temperature" above . I logged it via my AEM failsafe gauge .

Brettus 04-05-2018 04:53 PM

Ok - so I hit the dyno again yesterday ... different dyno again . Result ...pretty much the same . Please ignore the torque figure , it relates to dyno drum torque not engine torque . Actual torque is around the 300lb/ft mark.

https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...453ee77251.jpg

I can conclude from all my trials and misadventures that this is as good as it gets for a Renesis engine . I'm 99.9% sure that not even a larger turbo/larger manifold/less restrictive system ...whatever you can think of, would offer much more than what you see here .

The main issue that I've talked about all through this thread is the Siamese port and what happens when chamber exhaust pressures reach a certain level . Doesn't matter what you do , once that level is reached .... I believe there is massive reversion between the rotors through the Siamese port and this not only saps power but will result in sudden death if operated in this range .
