begi s3 / gt2860rs crew: what AR turbine did they send you?
I was talking to someone about how my car was making only 5psi at 4k rpm, then 7psi at 5500, and he thinks the turbine housing is too large.
What AR do you have, and at what RPM does it make 10psi? I think I have the .86 and want to change that. Thanks. pics for the hell of it: http://i26.tinypic.com/4gry9k.jpg http://i19.tinypic.com/66wp3sx.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/aebebn.jpg |
The big housing is not suitable for <300 whp methinks. The 0.64 housing will have far better spoolup.
|
could having the wastegate adjusted pretty far out have that dramatic of an affect on spool? With the wastegate disconnected, the motor is stronger than the 1.6 ever was, even with the lowered compression.

What is with the inconsistency at BEGi? a friend ordered an S2 or 3 with a 2560 and the intake on the turbo is 3" funneling down to about 2. That thing looks like 2-2.5". What gives?

I bet you have no idea how to read that too :)

Any chance a "tuned" spark map will give me 1000rpm better spoolage? What about having the wastegate backed way off? I guess I need to go home, unplug the hose, and see how early it makes target boost. I think with the 1.9l, 3" exhuast, and standard DIY spark map I should be spooling sooner. If I have to get a smaller turbine housing...then whatever, but I'm getting tired of hemorrhaging money. |
do you know how many lb/min you displace through your exhaust at a given rpm?

Is this unreasonable? There are other variables I must address first though...like snugging up the wastegate actuator and pulling the vac hose to the spring, then adjusting spark. I'm about to go get the car and just leave it at BEGi. Time > money. |
is that what the chart is saying? (and fwiw, it's a 16% shift)

you have a 1.9L motor correct? The same volume of air is always getting ingested regardless of RPM and boost pressure. The Corrected Gas Turbine Flow is the amount of this air that moves through the motor during a specific time period. (lb/min) if you calculate the amount of Volume Air Flow or Gas Turbine Flow in this case, it would be easier to read the turbine efficiency plot based on the demands of your motor. VAF = (CI/1728) x (RPM/2) x VE 116/1728 x 7000/2 = 235 CFM (16.2 lb/min) so maybe you want to draw a line up from 2PR and over from 16 lb/min and see where you end up. Then say, hmmmm the max efficiency of the turbine in a .63 A/R housing is just above the volume I displace...so the .86 may be too large for what I need. |

VAF = (CI/1728) x (RPM/2) x VE 110/1728 x 7000/2 = 223 CFM (15.4 lb/min) so maybe you want to draw a line up from 2PR and over from 16 lb/min and see where you end up. So, wtf do I need to do since you are an engineer and I'm a beuracrat? Switch to a 2560, or get a smaller turbine housing? I'd still like to get an answer from the DP owners here. I just want to drive my fucking car, not the rental G6. |
I have the same turbo and turbine size. I have full spool by 4400 or so?
|
all i was saying is that you posted the turbine efficiency plot without knowing how to read it. And im not an engineer, just an artist.
Was this just with a line from the turbo to the wastegate can? |

If yes, then my pants are getting tight and I can rest easy with less work to do on my car. :hustler: |

I have the Gt2860Rs .86AR and I'm at 12 psi by a tick after 3,500rpm. S4 manifold through.
The spark map will help out tremendously. |
thanks brain. I guess I need to get the car tuned, then cry like a ------. I'm going to snug up the wastegate.
Is there any chance that adding a little 3psi wastegate would help spool, and not overboost?
