So I just recently made my swap to a gt2871r from an s15 turbo and I'm not too impressed. My old setup had the s15 turbo with poncams. Now I've gone with the go-to setup on here; gt2871r, s3's and a greddy style intake manifold.
I did 293whp/299tq with the s15 and have not yet gotten a chance to dyno with the gt2871r but my gut feeling tells me it's not doing too much better now. It just wasn't the upgrade I was expecting really. I was expecting a bit less power down low but not as much as it feels like I lost and it doesn't feel like too much was gained up top either. Simply put, it just doesn't throw me back in the seat like it did. So before I go blaming the setup; I'd like to delve into my tune a bit and see what advice there is out here for tuning it (I have a haltech platinum 1000). I followed enthalpy's ignition timing specifications that he posted on freshalloy for the s15 setup, shifted it up until it wasn't making more power then took it down a degree and that's what got me 293whp/299tq. I'm doing the same for my 2871 now but want to get as much info as I can before I head out to the dyno and put the final tune on it there. Also, afr is at about 14 at 0psi and declining steadily to 11.5-12 at 10psi+ Furthermore, since new cams were put in I thought my cam timing could be off, but I checked that and the intake dowel is at 10 o'clock and the exhaust dowel is at 12 o'clock at tdc which I believe is correct. So basically, if anyone has any ignition maps or cam degree settings to share with me or really any tips for squeezing out more power (especially midrange) and getting it to spool faster, that would be appreciated. I'd like to be as prepared as possible for the dyno. tl;dr: change to gt2871r, s3's and greddy manifold was underwhelming. Tuning tips please? |

There are proven tunes for the 2871 from multiple chip company's(JWT/Enthalpy). Dump your Haltech and rom tune a stock ecu. You are going to spend more more money for less power on a common setup with standalone.

^ Although true, with PROPER tuning on a standalone, especially the P1000 you can extract more power w/out sacrificing reliability.
You should let a tuner tune with the P1000 to get the best you can. Theres so much shit and variables w/ the Haltech. Are you running the .86 or .64 housing? Which trim?

this is what I was going by but yeah, if the dowel pins are like that then the #1 lobes will also be as you described. And yes, I know the haltech is not needed for this application but I wanted the experience of tuning an engine. It's mainly for my own enjoyment, not for the benefit of the car or to save money.

Here's a run I just datalogged. It was wet out so there was tire slippage and thus a slower spool but still, the spool usually isn't much better. Plus it's a cold night tonight, 50-60F, which should help spool. Notice that it doesn't reach full boost (20psi) until 4400rpm. AFR for 0psi is 14.5 then slopes to 11.5-12 at 5psi and holds steady until 20psi. Ignition is advanced 31 degrees at 0 psi and slopes fairly linearly to 18.5 at 20psi My pre-dyno preliminary tune seems alright to me, no outrageous afr's or timing so why is it spooling late? I'm starting to think I got a bum turbo; there was a little bit of play in it when I installed it... |

I'd say get the car setup and then have it tuned. Where are you going? Evans? Quote:

Without a doubt, but as I always like to stress 'standalone <> standalone' (which you know but for others)....and that is, a tune isn't a tune isn't a tune.

And I'll be tuning it myself so I just need to find a dyno, not a reputable tuner. Plus I'm in Rochester now for school so probably not evans unless I make a trip home soon. I was wanting to go to deihl's where you do yours before I left but there just wasn't the time. Anyone know of cheap dyno time near Rochester? Anything you can suggest I do in preparation for the dyno? Mind taking a look at the datalog I posted? At $100-$200 an hour I want to be as close as possible; I only spent two hours tuning it on the dyno with my s15 setup and would like to get it down to one this time. How about pulling some timing and adding fuel right around -5mm hg to 0psi? That will up the egt's and get it going faster. Will it be at the expense of some power there though? I guess I'll just have to wait until I get there and see; I can only do so much browsing the internet... And thanks for the compliment by the way. It was a big learning experience building this motor up from the pieces I bought it in and then learning all about tuning it on the standalone; so it's nice to hear someone who knows what he's doing compliment my work. It was definitely nice getting that 299tq out of a tiny s15 turbo but man I hated how it just fell flat on its face at any high rpm so I went the 2871 route. I'm sure I'll be happier with it once it's dialed in. |

Other than the turbo being bigger and slower max boost target than the s15 you may want to check a few things.
-Exhaust restriction -Exhaust leak before turbo -Proper turbo oil feed -Leaking BOV -Leaking charge pipes/couplers -Wastegate not fully seated or holding tight

I'm expecting full boost around 3800-4000 while cody is getting it at 3500-3800 if I remember correctly. |

It seems like you're going to lookinto the mid range timing more than anything, and or to ensure your cas timing/distributor timing is set right. To spool 4500 rpm is certainly a function of tune vs parts.

I tried pulling timing and enriching it a bit under low boost; did a pull and blew a hose clamp right off. I guess that means it helped? That was scary hearing the air rush out... So I'm buying a new clamp tomorrow and doing some more street tuning before I hit the dyno |

Ive been thinking of switching from my Tomei Poncams (256/256) and going back to JWT S3's but im seeing they now have a S3 and S3 HL cam - Anyone use the high lift cams? Should I just stick to the tried and true s3's?

I have an upgraded valvetrain however; I don't know how stock would hold up to the extra lift. |

I just sent my ECU off to JWT for a fresh tune with Nismo 740's, Z32 MAF, and 93 Octane. Cant wait to get it on my setup, and get it back in some power!
If I am on stock Head/cams/etc... How high can I safely rev it? I know JWT raises the rev limiter, but I was wondering I should still try to keep it under 7.5k?

JWT will set the limiter at 7850 for you, that is perfectly safe on everything. However like stated above, if you're running stock cams it may flatten out a little sooner.

As before, S3's and OEM are safe to 7850 without any issue (well any JWT cam is for that matter, this side of the C series)

why not ask JWT? They are familar with the parameters its designed under, AND they are doing your tune.

My gt2871r .86 is dead...... blowing blue smoke on boost bye bye seal.
Since laggy at 4300ish rpm full boost I'm going the Precision route. Same or a tad better spoolup and more topend for less cash. To bad I didnt dyno my setup for reference over here.
