Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
I haven't tuned the new ProEFI. The old ProEFI turned into what is now the AEM EMS. Last I checked it cost a small fortune to get the hardware/software to be able to tune the ProEFI and John Reed the god of Supra tuning was has all kinds of problems with the system. Things may have changed a lot in the last year or so, maybe they have end user tuning software for it now and maybe it works as advertised now. I don't think I have had anyone ask about the ProEFI for a year or so though.

I heard AEM is the way to go on these things.

Please don't get mad if i drool, cry, or have a "crisis" when in and or around your car.

Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
I got in my custom CP pistons from www.maperformance.com which went really smoothly. They were custom spec 9.5:1 compression ratio CP pistons. maperformance was great to deal with for doing special orders and even got on the ball immediately when CP sent standard bore pistons instead of the ordered .020. the Correct ones were in within a week which was awesome considering normal time for custom spec pistons seems to be 4-6 weeks. I also decided not to go with the Crower rods I have and to instead go with Manley Turbo-Tough rods which will handle my goal of building the motor to take 1300hp.

any pics of the motor disassembly/reassembly?

Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
They will be up tomorrow or so. Stay tuned!! I had map do the entire coating process to the pistons so things are backed up a little bit right now since I decided at the last minute to have it done.

Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
Well just like I knew it was going to be, supraforums.com are all a bunch of yippy fuck heads and decided it was probably the best idea to ban me forever from the site because they did not like the idea of me putting MAP in my post as my parts provider. They obviously fuck over each one of their members with their prices and didnt want people to know where they can actually get a good deal from. Stay away from MVP Motorsoprts since they are the ones that host the forum and didnt want MAPerformance to have any word on their forum. Wont stop me from building a fun car.

Thought I would snap some pictures this morning. What do I see a 2jz.

Block bored and surfaced ready to be honed. Pistons ready for coating. Freshly polish/balanced crank.

From the few times I've been on supraforums, they seem like a bunch of nut swinging idiots. Have you tried SupraMania? There is plenty of Supra knowledge right here in MN anyways though.

yep signed up for superamania and waiting approval then my project build will go on there and thanks for the photos! Can't wait for the pistons to come back frm coating.

Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
So what will help against knock since I read on another thread of Halons that Shane was saying 2jz motors knock alot more then others. Will aftermarket valves with different shaping to them, cleaning and polishing of the combustion areas on the head and a full coated piston running 9.5:1 compression on e85 help prevent the knock that an otherwise more stock 2jz motor would produce?

95talonracer 12-02-2010 06:37 PM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
Shane any input on this one ^? Also the pistons are supposidly back from coating and am just waiting on photos from MAP. Maybe the rods are in too :)

Nice :)

I can't speak from experience as much as Shane. All I can speak on is what I've read.

http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/showt...ghlight=quench

That was one article with some good info I thought. The author of that thread is one of those individuals who's made close to 1000hp on stock NA motors (10:1) so I tend to listen to what he says.

Main cliff notes I took out of that article are:

Higher compression is your friend (to a point) as long as you have control over fuel & timing, and especially if you are feeding your motor booze (meth, e85, etc).
He personally runs a 12:1 setup.
Higher compression means same power at less boost because of better "squish". If knocking is detected, lower timing advance to counter act that.

Speedfreak 12-03-2010 12:27 AM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
The higher the compression, the smaller the "tuning window". Which basically means you are always closer to detonation then you would be with lower compression. It's a riskier route, but can be accomplished if set up/maintained/tuned very well.

95talonracer 12-03-2010 12:41 AM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
But is that still very true with e85?

Meaning closer to the edge between being awesome and turning the engine into a pile of shrapnel.

I would assume so. E85 allows for more potential but the gap between a safe tune and dangerous tune is still narrowed because of the increased compression.

Halon 12-03-2010 11:30 AM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
I agree with all the above statements, which is why I say higher compression is your friend "to a point".

My thoughts that I'll put out there one last time and leave it at that:

- Your stock compression ration is 8.5:1 (designed to run on premium). You are going to be running 9.5:1 (one more than stock, appx .5 more than a stock evo) and running E85. This isn't some new groundbreaking ungodly setup.

- How many 6-bolts are out there running greater than stock compression on e85, and what percentage of those turn to shrapnyl with the main cause being slightly higher CR?

- You'll have a full standalone with full control over ignition timing advance, and Shane tuning it. He can take a crap on the dyno, and find a way to hook up his Ostrich emulator to it, and tune it and make 500hp!

This happened and still does happen a lot when guys put 2G piston or similar compression pistons into a 1G and then try to run the kind of timing a stock 1G ECU does with 7.8:1 compression and maps meant for 12psi of boost.

Just because an RSX or S2000 or Audi or Evo motor can run it's higher compression with boost doesn't mean it is quite as easy with some old tech/shitty headed DSM or Supra. It's definitely possible and doable, but don't expect to be able to run as much boost as a lower compression car can on the same gas. Read that last line again, and then also realize that just because someone else on the interwebz has done it doesn't mean your setup will or that you can duplicate what someone else who is an expert at it and has tried all kinds of exotic setup has done. Yes, you can and will run less ignition timing on a boosted higher compression motor to avoid detonation, but you often get to the point where you have to pull so much timing that the gains are not there with more boost, or where you actually make more power at less boost with more timing.

Most people, not all though, run less boost on high compression setups. You will make more power with less boost though with higher compression. If your gas is not limiting you then it is definitely beneficial to run more compression. Higher compression is most useful for guys trying to set record with a limited turbo. Say you want to make the Evo 8 stock turbo HP record and you know that you can't run enough boost or add enough timing to max out the octane on E85 or E98 or whatever, then it can help quite a bit to bump that compression up to 10:1 or whatever and run the same maxed out boost as before but make more power. It is also a power gainer for guys who are limited to a specific size compressor inducer size or restrictor in drag classes or rally racing, any time the turbo is maxes or limited in some way. Guys who want better throttle response out of boost like for street driving or autox also often run higher compression. Higher compression does not spool a turbo faster though.

If you have a turbo/setup that is very efficient and can run high boost AND you are octane limited by your fuel, then you often can make more power with less compression, just because of being able to run a lot more boost while still maintaining a decent amount of timing advance. There are so many variables though that go into each setup that it can be hard to predict how each car will respond. Little things like exhaust housing size can start to become a major factor in knock resistance when you start try to push a fuel or run high boost levels. Usually every month I get a car or two for tuning with a setup that just doesn't work. We can't run the boost they want because something is making it too prone to knock and if we pull out enough timing to make it not knock, then it either makes the car misfire from too little timing or just doesn't make any power. That's life, engines are not like computers, they don't do the exact same thing with exactly the same parts.

In the NA-T thread, I have personally done something that they THINK won't work. I have gone from the 1.3mm stock TT headgasket in an NA 2JZ to a thicker Cometic HG because we were not able to make the power the customer wanted due to excessive knock. The car had an AEM EMS on it, so we were able to fully control timing. With the decently thicker HG were were able to run more boost, run more timing and make more power. It was also a road race car, and you need usually need to run a decent amount of timing with a rich A/F and keep your boost under control on a road race car. If you try to pull even a moderate amount of timing, like you can on a street or drag car, then you run this risk of melting the turbo. This is a 3mm HG http://www.inlinepro.com/s1/p-52-inl...adgaskets.aspx
that is commonly used in the S2000 motor to drop the compression down ALOT for boost applications. Its massively thick, weighs a surprising amount and it works perfectly.


Anywho, 9.5:1 should be fine, just don't expect to run 40psi with it on E70.

Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
No 40psi here. I just want to have a good street/strip car with better acceleration in and out of boost with a 6765 .96 housing billet turbo. I am guessing my choice of parts will work and I have been reading alot to make sure the parts I get will match what I want out of the car for power and drivability. Shane do you feel that coating the tops of the pistons and aftermarket better design valves will help with knock or being able to make better/safer power vs. stock head?

Definitely good info! Thanks for sharing Shane. My experience is very limited with this platform so all I can go off is what I read at this point. So the more I hear from the experts the more I learn! Thanks :)

I watched those videos on the Pro EFI you were telling me about on Sunday. The ones with the traction control and the flex fuel capabilities, that looks like one sweet tuning system. I can't wait to see this thing run now!

Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
Looks nice. So does that coating make the pistons larger, meaning the layer of coating needs to be accounted for when boring the cylinders for a specific PTW clearance?

95talonracer 12-07-2010 08:30 PM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
I am pretty sure they said no but I guess I'm not positive.

Speedfreak 12-07-2010 08:39 PM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
As far as I know, yes, it should be accounted for. It's relatively a small difference, but enough that it could affect your piston to wall clearances ever so slightly(which is sometimes enough..).

95talonracer 12-07-2010 08:44 PM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
I think it is adjusted for in the honing of the block if I am not mistaken. The block is machined but Im pretty sure it still needs to be honed and they were waiting for the pistons to come back from coating.

95talonracer 01-01-2011 08:03 PM
Re: 6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now
 
Well the short block is assembled and now I will be moving onto the process of building the head. The block consists of the following

-stock block
-stock crank
-ARP main studs
-ACL race main and rod bearings
-Custom 9.5:1 .020 over CP pistons with ceramic and oil shed coating
-Manley Turbo-tough rods oil shed coated

Photos to come.

The head is the next part being worked on right now. I have ordered GSC Single springs, GSC S1 cams, Rev 1mm OV Stainless valves, Bronze valve guides, stage 2 port and polish, and a complete cylinder head coating service. Port & polish, and the coating done by MAP and same with parts.

The 'Gen3' ones are nearly identical specs to what is hot hot hot for the 4G63/4b11t right now. Just sayin :)

Motor looks good man!

No S1's. We did some research on this I'm sure Kerry will explain. For his power goal and the fact that it's auto the S1's will do well.
