Turbo Efficiency Range for RX-8
#76
There are several other things that those most actively participating in this thread may not be interested in discussing, Paul, but you are on the right track with your hunch.
It's not that MM wasn't AWARE of other turbos, it was in consideration of a number of factors that caused him to decide on the particular 3071R he has chosen to include.
The cool thing, for BHR, is that PTP, Esmeril, and others may help me to sell driveline pieces sooner rather than later.
How weird is it that Jeff doesn't just crank up the boost and help me sell more **** to people when they break stuff? I gotta have a talk with him about that............

On these larger wheels, the biggest issue here is boost control/wastegate plumbing (and its associated packaging problems). You will be hard pressed to find a 60-1 or 62-1 with an internal wastegate configuration. Even if you did find an internally wastegated version, I'm not sure you could trust it to control boost--unless it was a custom hybrid turbo like the 60-1 hybrid that BNR Supercars makes for 2nd gen Rx-7's.
There are T3/T4 60-1/62-1's and full T4's. The T3 is probably going to come with the stage 3 wheel (56mm exducer, close to what the 3071 has). The T4's usually come with a P trim wheel, which has a 64 mm exducer. For a T4 you would probably go with .82 or .96 A/R. For the T3, probably a .63 or .82 A/R.
I ran a T4 60-1 with a .96 A/R on my 2nd gen, but I cannot comment on what spool would be on a Renesis because I had 8.5:1 compression and porting. I will say that I saw positive pressure by maybe 2500, but it certainly nowhere near as responsive as say the stock sequential twins on an FD.

For the 50 lb/min goal.
VFR100% = [(Disp - 80ci)(9000)]/1728 rotary = 417 CFM
MFR - NA = [(2.703)(14.7PSI)(VFR - 417)]/[TAmbient-80 F] + 460] = 30.6 lb min
MFR - FI = (30.6 lb min) * Density Ratio of 1.68 = 51.4 lb/min
PR Compressor = (Boost (Say 16 lbs) - (Pressure Drop-2 PSI) + ambient)/ambient = 1.95
Ideal Temp Out =[(Tin of 80F + 460) * PR^.283]-460 = 192 F
Actual Temp Out = [(Tout Ideal - Tin) / Efficiency (Assume 70F)] + Tin = 240F
Intercooler Efficiency of 70% = 168 F
Density Ratio = PR * [(Tin + 460)/(Tout+460)] = 1.68
VFR100% = [(Disp - 80ci)(9000)]/1728 rotary = 417 CFM
MFR - NA = [(2.703)(14.7PSI)(VFR - 417)]/[TAmbient-80 F] + 460] = 30.6 lb min
MFR - FI = (30.6 lb min) * Density Ratio of 1.68 = 51.4 lb/min
PR Compressor = (Boost (Say 16 lbs) - (Pressure Drop-2 PSI) + ambient)/ambient = 1.95
Ideal Temp Out =[(Tin of 80F + 460) * PR^.283]-460 = 192 F
Actual Temp Out = [(Tout Ideal - Tin) / Efficiency (Assume 70F)] + Tin = 240F
Intercooler Efficiency of 70% = 168 F
Density Ratio = PR * [(Tin + 460)/(Tout+460)] = 1.68
I tried calculating MAP using the formula from Garrett's website but something must be wrong.
MAP = (Airflow lb/min) x (Gas Constant) x (460 + Tin) / (VE) x (rpm/2) x (Disp)
MAP = (51.4) x (639.6) x (460+168) / (1) x (9000/2) x (80) = 57.35 – 14.7 = 42.65 psi
Now I know it doesn't take 42+psi manifold pressure to make 400bhp???

I am not sure what you mean? That is the Boost Pressure it takes to get the Density Ratio required to meet the airflow goals.... anything less and you don't get 50 lb/min and anything more and you get more than 50 lb/min. On our motor of course.... a bigger motor would require less pressure.

sure the bold part is right? isnt there something different about a rotary as far as how displacement is calculated that you have to think about here.... the way i worked it i came up with MAP = 13.97 whih is much more realistic

OT-this is why i never showed work in calculus.
also just found out that my wireless internet comes to a screaming stop when the microwave is on

I just wanted to have a common frame of reference to start with - and then we can argue about specific turbo's.
Obviously; front / top mount and then manifold mount are two different animals; but so far it seems like there are some turbo's that flow really well in addition to the 3071R. And to take advantage of them - you need an external WG; so it looks like packaging is an issue once again.

SOrry to drag it slightly off topic but for the novices trying to keep up this may help. the 101, right through to the 103 I thought were great and help explain a bit more what Kane has shown.

Am I right in correcting your statement to the fact you were "quoting" from it, not referencing it? While I now understand most of what is said, it was really hard to understand without the background "basics" that they go into. Talk of trims, exducers, inducers, etc.

And yes, the "basics" are very helpful to know, though even the "basics" can be much more in depth and complex than it let on in the tech pages - far too complex for me! I hope i understood what you were getting at

They make sense to me. My problem with it is that you are using an equation to calculate PR and you throw in a number like ("say 16") for one of the values when there is another equation that can be used to calculate the value.
Just arguing semantics.

yeah when kane posted the numbers, i think a lot of us started trying to play catch-up or clearing the cobwebs...(or maybe it was just me... i need to stop posting so much and do more listening dont i)
i STILL want to see people who know better discuss the reaons why a turbo that may not look as good of a match on paper, is a better match in application, and why - why i think is the point of it(assuming im on the right track)

I thought this set it up
We have since seen a number of compressor maps. The 2 of interest to me are the GT3071R and the GT3582R.
I agree. What I dont understand is the left side edge is you would expect surge correct? So the 3071 is right on that limit and the 3582 is well over, yet I dont get any surge and I am using the 3582.
So we want a turbo that will boost to 7 PSI at 1500 RPM's and Hold 16 PSI at Redline Efficiently.
So
7 lb/min @ 1500 = PR of 1.5
50 lb/min @ 9000 = PR of 2
Now go find this magical turbo that will be efficient in this range......
Or more realistically - go find the one that is the best fit.
