doesn't creep usually create peak torque? unless you dropped timing an insane amount or something weird

nitrodann 03-09-2015 06:37 PM

No it doesn't.

Most of my stock motor builds creep up to 17 or 18 psi at redline intentionally using ebc and peak torque is still below 5000rpm like everyone else's.

Last night I spent close to an hour pulling torque out of the 4500rpm area of a VVT turbo NA, which made 280rwhp, because that's where peak torque waseven with 100% wastegate Duty Cycle from 5500rpm onwards.
We had to use VVT, timing and boost to pull that 4500rpm peak out of the tune, because VE.

Dann

18psi 03-09-2015 06:42 PM

creep using ebc? so it's intentional?
if you're inentionally shutting the wastegate up top to create more boost that's not the same as creep.

the only cars I've seen creep to redline are hondas that have insane VE to begin with. maybe I'm wrong

nitrodann 03-09-2015 06:53 PM

The engines torque output doesnt give a shit if its creep due to a low flowing wastegate port or due to a flapper being intentionally closed with EBC.

Yeah Im creating creep intentionally. The above example is a built engine, raced with a 5 speed, so we are using what is effectively creep to keep torque flat as possible but below a threshold.

Even using a huge amount of creep torque peak is still in the normal spot and this is literally a good thing for performance, and not a bad thing for reliability, unless you have some issue like a fuel system that cant keep up or a lead foot and no driver skills.

When I ran the 6758 on just the 7psi spring pressure, it peaked at 12psi at peak power and tapered off from there.

by definition, what you're doing is not creep.
creep is what happens when you can't control it, and it usually happens at peak torqure, because boost usually creates torque.
"intentional creep", is not creep. it's just boost control
basically what Leafy said. you're missing the point

nitrodann 03-09-2015 07:23 PM

nitrodann 03-09-2015 09:03 PM

After doing dozens of tunes on cars where we need to limit torque for engine and or gearbox reliability, the only way that 'boost creep is bad because boost makes torque' could possibly make sense in this context is if you hadnt calculated a creeping cars torque across the area where it creeps during dyno tuning.

Im putting that to the non believers, and Im asking them to please dispute it.

Sorry about no Christmas card. It was just a bigger risk than I was willing to take.

Hang loose, you are at the top of the list. I'll need to figure out which list that was.

This actually makes me feel a bit better.

What needs to be done to the turbo to make it fit? Swap exhaust housing to a conventional one instead of the V-band? If so, I can handle that myself if parts are supplied. You had me re-clock the compressor housing and grind a bit on the compressor housing to get it to fit under the old tubular manifold, so I can handle re-clocking of the compressor housing also. If it is more complicated than that, I can send it your direction.

I have an upgraded fuel pump, 1000cc injectors Megasquirt3 and am running E85.

No EGR on my setup.

Probably on top of your shit list right now :) If all of this works out, you will end up on my Christmas card list.

If your goal boost is 12 psi, and putting a 7 psi spring in your external wastegate results in peak boost of 12 psi, then you end up giving up a lot of spool to keep your peak boost at a reasonable level. Your wastegate will start opening at around 4 or 5 psi with a 7 psi spring, and as soon as the wastegate starts cracking open your spool goes to shit.

And a measure of restriction at a given flowrate as opposed to torque is what we use to protect them.
Now I understand!

You're trying real hard. And I'm seeing right through it.
Yes, none of us know the difference between pressure and torque. We're all just stupid 'Muricans with rightside-up dyno plots.

nitrodann 03-09-2015 11:10 PM

Seeing through it. Cite your reasons for being scared of boost creep. For crying out loud, Ive dyno'd this shit enough times to have no reasons myself.

Savington 03-09-2015 11:16 PM

Someone should probably explain the difference between boost overshoot and boost creep. I'm pretty sure Dann is referring to creep (boost rises with RPM regardless of wastegate spring pressure), while everyone else is referring to overshoot (boost rises rapidly past the wastegate spring pressure which creates torque spikes that can damage stock engines).

nitrodann 03-09-2015 11:22 PM

Thats correct.

Ive never seen overshoot on an MX5 with a T2x turbo or EFR using competent boost control, and CERTAINLY not with only the wastegate can for boost control.

You should probably post a link, because from where I'm sitting you sound like someone who doesn't actually understand the topic you're attempting to talk about.

e: This thread is basically a clusterfuck of nomenclature. Boost creep (boost rises with RPM, max boost at/near max power) doesn't put any additional stress on rods if it doesn't move the torque peak up. Uncontrolled creep is still not desirable because you can outrun the fuel injectors and it generally means the wastegate setup is pretty piss-poor. Boost overshoot (boost immediately rises beyond the desired level, max boost at/near max torque) is seriously undesirable in all cases and, by definition, is never induced on purpose. Most of you are talking about overshoot, but saying "creep". Dann is talking about creep as I've defined it.

Can we get back to talking about how kludgy exhaust restrictors are now?

Originally Posted by nitrodann

If its past peak torque then its not putting any more stress on any components than peak torque already did. Which is why its called -peak- torque.
and I'm the only one who's addressed his question and completely bogus statement and it pisses me off that you're wasting words talking about creep or overshoot or creep vs overshoot.

Nitro's theory is that peak torque on a dyno plot is the peak load of an engine's conponents, so he tunes his cars to increase boost after peak torque to keep the torque output flat to redline.

talk about that.

18psi 03-10-2015 09:06 AM

because literally nothing past peak load matters. nothing bro. nothing. no stress on the components, just run ALLOFIT on an upsidedown dyno and your stock rods are fine

So you're saying that 220ft.lbs of torque at 7000rpm is harder on an engine than 250ft.lbs of torque at 4000rpm? Or am I still confused?

Braineack 03-10-2015 04:48 PM

in regards to tensile or total inertial loads, yes. total compression or power loads, no.

if you're inducing "creep" to maintain peak torque to redline, you're putting more load/stress on the rods the greater the rpm.

Savington 03-10-2015 05:05 PM

More tensile load/stress, yes, but not more than a stock motor can handle (unless you rev it past 7k, which nobody has suggested). The compression load is what the stock rods care about, and the peak compression load happens at peak torque.

IOW, if the motor copes with 230wtq at 4000rpm, is 210wtq at 7000rpm going to break it? I think not.

Loads: Get a plot of chamber pressure vs crank angle. Multiply piston area times chamber pressure at every degree and plot. At each degree of crank angle, calc the inertial loads. Plot. Add the two loads together for every degree for a total load. Calc column buckling strength of the con rod. Take worst case compressive sum and adjust boost (reflecting pressure load) and rpm (inertial load) to stay below the column buckling load.

Andrew r smart and understand physics.

In terms of compressive loads, 230wtq at 4000 vs 230wtq at 7000 is always going to be harder on the rods, because they have to endure that compressive load for nearly twice the amount of time.

While at 7000rpms, they have to endure the force direction change nearly twice the amount of times within a given period.

Of course!

:brain:

I haven't really read up on loads in a quite a while--it's probably been over 10 years.

I was thinking that if you added boost to redline and since tensile load is a function of rpm^2 that the loads would significantly increase as you reach redline, compared to if you held it steady. But that was wrong because that extra boost doesn't really factor into those loads and any increase in boost is really just making up for the loss of combustion pressure due to the speed of the explosions relative to the crank angle and all that business.

Plus I really just wanted to argue about something.


it takes a brave/strong man to admit he was wrong--remember that.

I read that page in your book yesterday. I think I found an error in your Power formula on page 7. Power = Torque x rpm, shouldn't it be Power (HP)= torque x RPM / 5252

No no, my MX6 makes 1,900,000hp at 3800rpms.

Braineack 03-11-2015 09:25 AM

It doesn't say Power = HP

it says Power = P x L x A x N

DNMakinson 03-11-2015 09:37 AM

The "5252" factor would only come in when specific units are attached to the formula. If power were in KW, and torque were in N-cm, then the acutal number would be something else.

I sort of thought that might be the case the first time I read it. I realize it was unit-less now that I went back and read it a second time. I searched around the internet for a bit, but didn't (easily) find confirmation that the 5252 can be disregarded when your factors are unitless.

I am talking about boost creep, not boost overshoot.

Nitrodann, if you honestly don't understand why someone would want functional boost control where you can set it at your goal boost and not have it creep then why do you have a wastegate? One of the reasons I want to get ride of creep is so I can have what you have... controlled rise in boost pressure as RPM's rise.

Your entire argument is based on you having a system that does not have boost creep and asking us why we want a system that functions as well as yours does. I know you don't have boost creep because if you did you couldn't have controlled rise in boost pressure as RPM's rise, you would have uncontrolled rise in boost pressure as RPM's rise.

My current turbo is V-band clamp, so I would need A/O setup for V-band on booth the manifold and downpipe.

You mentioned that I would need modifications to the turbo to run it on the A/O system, that is why I mentioned it was a V-band housing and that I have modified the clocking of the compressor housing... trying to clarify what turbo modifications would I need to make to run my current turbo (spud with tial V-band turbine housing) on the A/O system so I know if it is something I can do, or if I need to send it in to you.

you still arent quite getting this, WHP alone has absolutely fuck all to do with traction, once again, its all about the peak torque (in this case at the tyres).
Lets do some numbers. 250ft lb is the number usually used as the limit of both 5 speeds and stock rods. In my experience cars with stock engines are not significantly traction limited on stock engines, with 225 street legal tyres, and a non fucked up setup. 240 ft lb (im using a small safety margin here) is over 340rwhp at 7500rpm.
If it makes traction with that torque at 4000 itll make it at 7500.

I understand that people want control of their boost, but boost creep which adds 5psi from midrange to redline, as we originally discussed is less creep than you need to hold torque flat, on a miata without MONSTER cams or MONSTER sized turbo.

EDIT: Here is the boost map (duty cycle) used on the 280whp GT2560r 5 speed car, blurred out everything but the part in question, the full throttle part of the map.


https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1426136068


That above map is directly off the tune, this below image is the with changes made to show what it looks like on a similar setup that has a little creep like the 5 psi at redline we have been discussing.

https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1426136068

IE; in this thread, the creep being discussed is less that you actually want for peak performance and therefor is fine, in the exact same way that a 7psi WGA is fine even though it wont allow you to have less than 7 psi.

Dann

Corky Bell 03-14-2015 07:52 AM

2d, roger, you can handle it. Outline needs later.

Power is defined as force times velocity. There are a several variations. Two are; torque times rpm, and pressure times volume rate of flow.

??? I don't get this part. Which is worse? And why? I get number of cycles is higher at higher RPM, that is obvious.

But in simple terms, for a 4 stroke engine, any given cylinder is going to spend 1/4th of it's time on the power stroke, 1/4th on compression, etc.

At 4000 RPM as you said 1/4 of the time you are on the compression stroke, so 4000 RPM /60 = 66.7 revs per second. Invert that and you get .015 seconds or 15 milliseconds per revolution of that 15 milliseconds 1/4 are on the compression stroke so each compression stoke lasts 3.75 milliseconds.

At 7000 RPM doing the math you see that each compression event only lasts 2.15 milliseconds.

As was pointed out to me in another thread, if you have the same torque output from the engine at two different RPM's the higher piston speed moving away from the flame front at higher RPMs reduces the peak load on the rods even at the same total torque output.

Ok that makes sense, but it had nothing to do with it enduring a load for twice the amount of time. The engine spinning faster has more events at a shorter time/even, but total time is the same. You said it endured it for twice the time, that's what didn't make sense. Time it spends during that cycle isn't WHY it has less load at higher RPM.

Basically if you measure cylinder pressure vs crank position and plot that at both RPM points, for the same torque, the motor turning slower will have higher peak pressure, as the 10-90% combustion time will occur with the piston closer to TDC than an engine turning faster.
