The car made 400kw on 98 few things need to be fixed then will try on E85.

Yeah bro not even done.

Will get a new surge tank, it’s got
Low comp issue 6.8 now the head has been machined and a thinner 1.1mm head gasket been installed it’s sitting at 9:1:1 comp now.

So will try again on E85. Oh and turbo is changed to Aeroflow 6262 bb. Tuner doesn’t like the Borg Warner I personally loved that thing bit laggy maybe it was due to the low comp.

Yeah bro I really like how the BW 8376 pulls, when it pulls it’s scary lol.

It was 6.8 before the head was mashined, they previously did the bottom end GTE pistons and rods in installed the 1.3mm hg but never shaved the head.

I'm confused.

A hypothetical but representative 2JZ with flat top pistons, 86mm x 86mm Bore/stroke, 60cc combustion chamber, 87mm gasket bore and 1.3mm thick gasket produces 8.4:1

To arrive at 6.8:1 with that same configuration, you'd need 19cc dished pistons (or an extra 19cc of clearance volume somewhere).

Assuming you did have 19cc extra clearance volume:

Installing a 1.1mm gasket increases CR to 6.9:1

To get from 6.9 to 9.1 by only machining the head - you'd have to machine enough to decrease combustion chamber volume by 24cc, which is not happening. (and you wouldn't want to, even if you could)

Something here does not add up.

Engine Compression Ratio (CR) Calculator

This calculator is designed to show the different Compression Ratios for different sized engines.

Yeah I’m not sure. It’s quite low tbh and something doesn’t add up. Mech shop and machinist shop are for sure playing with me.

Apparently he took off 30thou of the head thus he got it to 9:1:1. With 1.1mm hg.

Bore: (diameter)
3.39

Stroke:
3.39

Cylinder Head Volume:
66

Effective Dome Volume:
-16

Deck Clearance:
0

Compressed Gasket Thickness:
.051

Number of Cylinders:
6

Compression Ratio : 6.59:1

Total Displacement (in.3) : 183.59

Total Displacement cc's : 3009.67

I have been adviced to have the turbo replaced with a bb Aeroflow 6262.

I really love how the BW 8376 pulls but just laggy and full boost by 5000rpm doesn’t do it for me, maybe the low comp 6.8 affected it but tuner said it’s a journal bearing turbo and best you will get is 4000rpm while the AF will have full boost by 3200rpm…

The zaust housing is 0.91AR folks.

Machining is done now to put it back. So you guys think changing to the AF 6262 0.83AR won’t give much difference!!!!

The AF 6262 0.83 is recommended for 900hp. Full boost 3200rpm.
The BW 8376 800hp full boost was 5000rpm on low comp (6.8). Now I have 9:1:1 it will for sure perfume better but my tuner doesn’t want the BW he said get the AF in. He says the BB is better over the Journal bearing BW.

CR 9:1:1 would need a 1.1hg to get this comp.

I think the 0.91AR housing is what’s causing the lagginess full boost 5000rpm plus low comp.

I’ll see how the new turbo performs in terms of response, full boost and top end speed. I’ll then make my mind up to which turbo I’ll keep, the BW or the AF.

The machinist installed the GTE pistons and Rods with 1.3mm head gasket and slapped the head on without machining the head.

Hence 6.8 CR.

Man I think in your case, the compression ratio would affect the spool time, more than the turbine A/R. I don’t think .91 is terrible , compared to a compression ratio of 6 - which if it really is 6, is terrible. I would run the BW on the engine with the higher compression ratio, just to see.

I’m sure the Aeroflow is a good turbo, and it ought to spool a bit faster being BB vs JB, however you won’t convince me it’s a better turbo than the BW. The Borgs are used OEM and have a proven track record.

I don’t remember what rods you are using. But if this thing is going to be hitting high boost /lotsa torque at low rpm’s, you will bend the rods unless they can handle it. Stock GTE rods can’t handle these hard-hitting, insanely low-rpm fast spooling modern turbos. So the tuner may have to keep it under control till you’re further up in the rpm range.

Yeah I definitely love the BW bro I even had a slight argument with my tuner who refuses to tune the car unless I put the AF on it.

I think the BW housing 0.91AR is too big for street vs response hence he suggested I get the AF bb with 0.83AR. This turbo is rated at 900hp. Can be stretched to 1000hp. Tuner said the BW can’t make 3200rpm spool. I don’t know for him it’s a personal preference I believe. Here in Oz the BW isn’t big lots of people don’t know about them. I do as I have an IS300 and having watched so many vids on YT etc I gotten familiar with it.

Apparently the car had a 1.6mm gasket. That’s not right I ordered it from Real Street unless they packed the wrong size mm!!

So two things gave the car a low comp, 1.6mm hg and a none shaved GE head. They bored out 30thou, now it’s sitting at 9:1:1.
GTE pistons and rods.

I’m going to have a go at it with the AF but I’m definitely keeping my BW. I want to run the car with the BW via “another” tuner just to see which turbo makes more power low end and top end and how early the response will be

.

I gotta get the Ai Surge tank with 2x 460 walbros, i already have a 460 in the tank so I’ll have 3x 460s after the surge tank is installed.

I’m going for a retune with the BW. I want to see how much it can make and how early the boost can come on. It’s 0.91AR twin stroll divided T4 8376 S300SX airworks.

If I get full boost by 3500rpm I’m keeping the turbo if not I’ll swap it with the BB Aeroflow 6262 with a 0.83AR. It’s also a divided T4.
