DSG 240RS Updates...still a ways to go - Page 5 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Def,
They are Aeroquip. I am not sure exactly where they came from but I've seen them on military aircraft and thats where they supposedly came from. They were probably made as bespoke items for a specific plane. Used, you can pick these up for a decent cost, just have to look around for them. There is a tiny bit of leakage but no air is let into the system so if it were coolant or brakes, no bleeding is necessary. If you look at a relitively modern WRC there are about 100 quick disconnects throughout the car. The money adds up when new but second hand they are a great option. Jiffy-tite connections are pretty cheap for the quality of the parts. I think a -8 disconnect is $50 for both sides. A Staubli on the other hand is 130 for each side.

What do you use the AE Aeroquip stuff on? Whatever it is, it must be cool

Well... and the fact that one half of even the -4 size is over $800/each kind of makes them not an option for automotive usage. Don't don't allow ANY air into the system, which I hear is a big pickle with some QDs.

GSXRJJordan · 08-11-2008, 05:47 PM

Thanks for the heads up on the used QD's! I'd always assumed that kind of "specialty" stuff would be quite a bit cheaper second hand, but where do you find a decent selection? Online? Airplane graveyards?

Exciting News!! Low boost tuning was completed last night! From the gains made by increasing boost in increments of 1 psi the power goals for the maxi should be well within reach. The twin scroll combined with the head porting (by head dynamics) has really shown some great power under the curve. It looks like up top the 264s might be holding it back a bit but the transient response of this turbo is insane. Matt Koestner again performed the awesome calibration for the Autronic and made everything look like a breeze. The precision core is absolutely insane in cooling the charge temp. At steady state, maybe 8 lbs or so, the hot side is literally too hot to touch and the cold side is cool, almost ambient. Cooling with the new fans and Davies microprocessor for the pump allowed complete steady state tuning with absolutely no let up for coolant temps. So, at 17 lbs, 373whp was achieved with excellent torque. I don't have the autronic boost control set up yet so I had a hallman on there. The electronic control should allow for some adjustment in the initial ramp up in boost. Once I get a few small things ironed out, I will head for 25 lbs. Just as a gauge, a V10 stock M5 makes 386whp and a stock 2.0 WRX makes 160-165whp on our dyno.

SicBastard · 08-21-2008, 10:00 AM

v10?!...

We don't need no stinking v10!

How much smoothing is on that dyno graph? The ramp up is way more linear than what you'd expect from a 400+ hp 2.0L. Great work.

DisEpyon · 08-21-2008, 11:48 AM

Are those ITBs you are using?

Very sexy work my friend, cant wait to see some vids of that beast.

driftstyre · 08-21-2008, 12:09 PM

DisEpyon,
They are throttle bodies, very modified GTiR ones

Pipe colored nicely and I bought another 240 hatch. Uh-oh.

awesome build man. seems like an awefull amount of customizing for such low numbers and power. what are the goals with this build?

Power isn't all that low, he's on low boost on that map and more is to be had. Remember this is a DD dyno. Plus power to weight is his friend

Remember Ben, that's on the low boost set-up! Just preliminary tuning.

One must remember that a dyno is a tuning tool. The power numbers produced from it are only relative to how the dyno is calibrated. You could take the same car to a different dyno and it may make 400whp, or 320whp for that matter.

blu808 · 08-22-2008, 12:37 AM

I am speechless.

owowowoow.

David Steele · 08-22-2008, 02:00 AM

that's what the staubli fittings are for

those orange things in the pictures

but those are hella expensive.

95KA-Turbo · 08-22-2008, 09:37 AM

Look at all that fun between 4200 and 5000rpms

.

I hope I can see this in person at VIR again. Are you planning on running the HPDE in December? I am hoping my car will be together with the bilsteins and all by then!

Xracer · 08-22-2008, 10:46 AM

Are you only revving out to 6800? Or is that just for now?

Thanks. I've been looking for those for a while I just don't remember the name of them + rep. because I'll pay good money for that.

It was sweaty in my pants on that one. I only had a 3 layer nomex suit that I originally got for winter rallies. It's not too nice in the summer, though if I were burning alive, I would probably love it. Did you get the FC up to full power yet? It will probably be slow

s13dan · 08-23-2008, 01:18 PM

I saw that machine do a run on okemo and it was badass, i love that car. looks scary but thats half the fun.

that was a diff assplosion at the hillclimb. There are lots of areas where one wheel is off the ground.

blu808 · 08-24-2008, 12:52 PM

Im about to do a run of cryo treated diffs, rings, pinions, etc. Do you want to get one?
