Turbo B16b


Nice work Rich. Was a good idea to move the IAT especially if your using ectune stock correction values as they sway the AFR in a big way even for rather small temp. changes. I use custom values for the correction now and find it easier to keep consistent AFR's:nice: what power you aiming for when all run in and fully tuned?
 
Thanks for the comments guys :).

Vtec6000, I know exactly what your saying about those IAT's lol. It just makes tuning a pain in the ass as you can easily be chasing you self round in circles. Do you 0 the minuses out by any chance ?

I'm not to sure about the power yet but i would be happy with 250bhp +. I have a MAC solenoid so i'm mite just map low boost to around 250bhp & high to around 300bhp.

Do you think 300bhp is a bit over the top with a good tune ? I keep getting told with my c/r i'll be fine, i think i will be. But i dont like to think i like to know if you know what i mean....
 
Really nice work Rich, very jealous, this would be my very next project if funds allowed!!

What sort of budget would you put on a set up like this?

zero out the higher temp correction values and leave below 0 alone then proceed with tuning. Assuming that your IAT's weren't thru the roof when tuning you should find then when IAT temp. rises your AFR will be getting richer and you can adjust correction values till you get your AFR's where you want them. With the stock values I found it was doing the opposite, leaning out the hotter IAT's were getting which is dangerous especially on a forced induction setup.

300bhp on your setup will be fine for sure. The key is in the tuning;-) did you keep the stock rods?

Cheers mate, thats a good question to be honest. I dont like to count the money sometimes as i feel it can lead me to cut corners when i realise how much i'v actually spent lol.

I would imagine 2-3k should do it nicely on a build like this.

Thats what i do mate, i personally carnt see why you would want to remove fuel when the temps are getting hotter. I would say if anything add fuel.

Yeh i'v used stock rods and NRP B18c5 pistons giving me around 9.2:1 c/r
 
your work looks perfect mate and your bay looks sick, well done! hope it goes ace for you!

2-3k is not bad at all but mind you are doing all of it yourself! I was doing it it would prob be double that as I cant do any work myself!lol

Hi Rich, its because the air density changes with the temperature. i.e. less O2 molecules per X volume of air at higher temp compared to lower temps.

Setup looks great, youve done a really good job there. Hope to meet up with youself and some other turbo EK9 owners at sompoint in the near future :nice:

Nice one for that Will ! That makes perfect sense, so really when the IAT's are getting sky high with out the corrections the mixture will appear to be richer i take it. I'm going to tune those tables after i'v finished with the street map.

I maybe in touch sometime in the future about the dyno as it would be cool to do it at your place even you know its a long drive for me. It wont be for a while though because of me been skint at the moment with having this project to finish and bills to pay. I still need to upgrade my clutch to as i only have a oem cluch at the moment :lol: I'm hoping to do so in the next month or so but its all down to funds.
 
no-worries dude, it is a very expensive process converting any car to turbo properly.
and yes, thats correct about what would happen without ait comps for higher AIT.

Anyway, looking forward to more project updates. Keep up the good work :nice:
