Yeah. And that's very true when it comes to Prawn. But if you can safely do a run, I'd like to see it. And as I said, it's a solid means for assessment of progress during a build (plus it's quite a bit of fun). :racer:

I'll do a 3rd gear run and use the spreadsheet to work out a FATs time this evening Doug.

Mine's an ENJ 02J 5 speed on 225/45/17's with what you guys on vortex would call a 'stock block tune'!

I imagine being a 5 speed the FAT's time will be considerably higher. Do any of the guys on vortex do FATs with the 5 speeds and F23 combo?

indeed its a solid gauge on same car same conditions.... Remembering overall weight on board is more of a factor than might be firstly apparent.. (I know our racecars I am involved with, weight is by far the biggest differentiator)

handy for real world comparisons...
luckily I have a dyno to see what works for me.. strapped down doing 150mph stationary.

road logging is how I used to have to do stuff but a 450bhp polo made my mind up, it was daft... and only going to end in tears at some point.
 
audi upgrades
Just been out logging for FATs times to see how they compare to the 6 speed, and I think it's safe to say it's wildly different! haha.

Best FATS recorded was 4.64s, and 6.11s on actuator pressure only.

What sort of speeds is the FATS test from on a 6 speed? on my 5 speed it's from 65-101mph. I'd imagine the 6 speed test is at a much lower speed.
 
Can someone explain to me and karl what FATs are? Were only mere grease monkeys haha.
 
It's a performance measurement Dani, rather than relying on engine parameters to measure performance, this measures real world acceleration on the road using vagcom.

FATs time is the time it takes to accelerate from 4200-6500rpm in 3rd gear.

The little green spreadsheet above is used to work it out using vagcom log data, because recordings arnt always taken at exactly 4200 a d 6500, so it works out the time stamp at those points using the closest values either side.

Because it measures in gear acceleration, it's only really comparable across cars with the same transmission, hence me asking about speeds at each rpm point. As I imagine on a 6 spd it'll be much lower speeds than the 65-101 on my 5 speed, sometimes are. Of comparable :)
 
Thanks for that nick, didnt know you could do that with vag com.

My car does the same that this is doing when the boost comes up at 3250Rpm the AFR goes lean, is this normal?
I tune fuel with Lamfa, it's a narrowband ECU...
In my case it doesn't goes to lean, because the fuel it's requested to be at 12.6 before the 3000 rpm zone... So I get +-14.00 when the boost comes up...

Based on the gearbox ratios, I show the 6spd in 3rd gear running from 55.5mph to 85.9mph. That's a good bit different than with your car. Maybe you should run in 2nd??
 
So quick update. New 1bar actuator was fitted yesterday. Basically I bought a T3 actuator , remove the old one from the stock s3 bracket and welded the new one in place. 3 runs and the n75 was tuned to cope with the extra tension and now I can hold 23psi to the red line! Not only that the boost is definitely more aggressive I assume as the waste gate is being held full close rather than blowing open . So running today knocking a few degrees off the timing I managed 263grams, which I am very happy with. Work permitting I'll get down the RR next week to see how it goes.

Hah! Just goes to show you that an un-molested and un-clipped RS6 turbine rotor works just fine. So let's see some log graphs! What's your boost onset in 3rd? Airflow curve? :uhm:
 
Here you go.
1) is the maf. as you can see at around the 4750 mark there is a real blip in the maf, this as you can see in 2) is at the point the cam changes from an advance of 23 degrees down to 1 degree..
3) is the boost map. I have a slight over shoot but it's capped with a MBC at 23 psi ( this logger only goes to 22.5psi hence the flat line) and I found if I go over 21 psi below 4250 rpm the thing will surge if I keep it below that until around 4500 then I can ramp it up to what ever I want with out surge.

As I now have an uprated actuator if I try and aim for 21psi, the KFLDRL map will always cause it to over shoot and surge because the N75 isn't quick enough. So I've set load map for around 18psi which means that when it tries to react to hold 18psi it will overshoot but stay within the surge limit 21psi and thus by the time is controls it,it'll be at 21psi anyway, if that makes sense?. No need for a clipped turbine. After 4750rpm I'm free to ride the PSI rodeo all the way to the redline..yeeehaaaa :)

Impressive again! I think that answers my question about the mbc and the N249 bypass.

Can't wait to start working on mine.
 
had a good read through this thread and fancy doing this to my partners TT, any news or updates at all?
 
Dan -- it'd be interesting to see your airflows compared when you have the intake cam "locked" into the two positions. I came away finding that the VVT system offered no benefit on the cammed FrankenTT. But that's a smaller-wheeled hybrid.

Here's an example of how I logged the two settings:

Thanks for such an intresting read :) looking at doing this myself as my turbo has just started smoking on hard boost. The only bit im woundering about is the machineing, as i dont have the bits in my hard i cant see but does the profile need reshaping aswell or can you get away with just turning it out?Thanks chris
 
just read thru this and very interesting build!
did you not need to change inj or was the oem inj good enough?
 
Struggling with controlling boost, seeking help here:
Even so the car is NOT an A3 (2003 A4 1.8T), here is the setup:
Turbo: K04 turbine housing, machined for RS6 turbine wheel.
Compressor: RS4 housing, custom fabbed to fit 2283 billet wheel
550cc Bosch EV14
High flow log manifold
3" DP
S4 MAF
FMIC
SAI, N249, N112, EGR/Kombivalve, removed, tuned out.
Wastegate actuator: stock, starts to move at 4.5 psi
Goal: constant 22 psi (MAP limit) to 7250 redline
Tune: we were running into the 'calculated' EGT cut embedded into the Bosch/Audi ECU. Instead just blindly eliminating the threshold, we decided to measure and log the actual EGT at the manifold. Result: showing about 200 deg C lower actual than the calculated ones.
Consciously raised the EGT threshold so it does not 'cut in'.

The problem:
a) N75 control not smooth at high rpm. Tried a few N75 (factory versions), but no significant change.
b) switched to 'ball and spring' (intergrated engineering) MBC. Now experiencing: when MBC set to 22 psi, boost falls to 18 psi after 4500 rpm. When set to 25 psi (gauge), falls to 21 psi after 4500 rpm. Curves are almost parellel. Why are we 'overboosting' mid range (or NOT holding boost at high rpm)?

Any suggestion how to achieve our goal to hold 22 psi to redline without too much overboosting (stock rods) at mid range?
 
You need a good custom remap and you will be good to go even without mbc.
You are probably hitting pid limits and some maps would need to be modified so the ecu can accept that much boost without interfering.
Other thing that can cause that is boost variation.

My info is based on research, I have somehow a similar prob.

Good work Dan

whats used...well mostly old stuff softwares and demo versions... (u probably know which). I have no access at all to a custom map or a tuner that does those ecu so when left on my own, I manage with what I have, which is un-cool lol

please do correct me if my info about a custom remap needed for the member above is wrong.
 
Could pressure drop accross the cooler create that variance up top (assuming your using OEM positions) as boost control MBC/n75 and map sensor/boost gauge will see different relevant pressures?

Not sure what my tuner friend is using. But he says PID from scratch would require a TON of work.

Both (gauge and MAP) would see losses from FMIC. MAP should read higher (if any) since it does not see potential loss from TB (gauge tap is in manifold, MAP is before TB). MAP is limited to reading 22 psi (that is why the logs are 'cut off'); need to 'visually' extend the actual boost pressure beyond the 22 psi 'cut' line.

If you are trying to sit closed loop control at limit of map sensor, I would suggest a different approach.
Request looks to be high... , well at the limit of map sensor..so.. I would be looking at the actual N75% control map(s) personally.

message me for more info if you want it.
cheers

Some suggested stiffer WG actuator spring (or additional external spring). Possible that WG is partially pushed open by back pressure at high rpm, causing the MBC to NOT hold pressure?
 
Stock actuator is too weak to effectively control the boost, maxing the n75 dc and waste gate blowing open are conspiring against you.

You are right , rewriting the the whole PIDS for an uprated actuator is a pig, but you do need a stronger waste gate.

Then as said controlling n75 directly is the better/best option to get the boost profile you want...

That much back pressure form exhaust valve to turbine housing? Wow. Not sure what the closing force is of the stock actuator spring, but for example purpose: 1 square inch wastegate area, 10 lbs of closing force: back pressure must exceed 10 psi.

What spring rate (crack open pressure) should we shoot for the actuator revision?

In this context: what IS the spring rate (in N/mm or lb/inch) of the stock actuator?
What spring rate (or spring) if adding an external spring?
Are there any 'donor' actuators with higher (desired) spring rate to 'steel' (make/model/year/engine), even if 'adaption' (bracket, etc) is needed?
 
if I read the log posted correctly tho the n75% is hovering aroubnd 70-80%? for the 2550mb level?

Did I read it right?


Re Actuators, on k04 hybrids.. I prefer to sit around 12psi crack pressure... as a preference.

Sorry was wrote in a bit of a rush and wasn't that clear, but meant that the boost control IE the MBC could be seeing higher boost pressure pre cooler than ECU via MAP sensor and visually on the boost gauge after the cooler

Not sure what actual N75 maps are, but here are the 2 N75 DC parameters I logged (before and after linearization) if that helps.
