Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
alright been talking about this for a while, well its finally gotten its start
Stage 1
weight reduction and installation of megasquirt 1 v2.2, onto N/A 2.8
Tune ms to run n/a 2.8
Stage 2
more weight reduction
install single turbo onto 2.8 and retune ms for 16 psi
and have some fun(going to the track on the 26th)
Stage 3 (starting on the 27th)
massive wieght reduction including carbon fiber hatch deck,possible carbon fiber door pannels/fiberglass panels
pull 2.8 and install worked 3.1 with single turbo setup. adjust tune in ms accordingly
break in new motor @ 10 psi
Stage 4
remove old under the k-member single turbo system for the twin turbo system
forward facing tt headers
twin t3/t4 46 trims
true dual 3" open downpipes dumped before rear axle
retune megasquirt for tt system @ 10 psi and get some baseline dyno/track times
Stage 5 (all hell breaks lose stage)
slowly work motor and tune to 21psi+
make various adjustments to suspension,drive line weight reduction etc
===========
somewhere in the above there will be a 10pt cage moly cage install and possibly a ford 9inch install

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
stage 1 is nearly complete
removed various things form the engine compartment and prolly droped about 100 pounds off the nose of the car tongiht.with more being removed tommorow night.
the megasquirt is mounted and the harness is now inplace,connections still need to be made to the injectors and colant temp sensor.once that is dont the megasquirt will be operational.
ill try to post up some pics tongiht of what i did tonight with the help of rob (street lethal)
he took some pics with his cell phone but apperntly some of them are to dark so im still waiting for him to upload them to photobucket so i can try to brighten them in photoshop to post

Guess I REALLY got to get cracking, lol. Just scored a 3.4, headers will be built soon. I am staying single for now.
Dave you do realize you are cutting the flow to each turbo in half, I'm curios to see how they spool with such large turbines (large for 1 bank, I mean).

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
yeah i know were cutting it in half but
i can actuall;y rev my motor over 3200 rpms in gear while on the brakes,couple that with a 2step/antilag system and it will leave the line under plenty of boost.
option number 2 is the addition of a nitrous system,which i had already planed on using.
nitrous lines are even already installed in the car

Dude, your craaazy!
Have you thought of using FWD exhaust manifolds, but put them on backward? Last I looked, the seem to be almost right for a front dump turbo setup. There might be some potential.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
anyways rob was able to save only one out of like 7-8 pics from what we did last night
so heres a pick of the megasquirt mounted up, i didnt try to hide it cause i wanted easy access for pluging in my tunning cable.and i also wanted to be able to see the staus ligfhts on the side of the case as well
ill have to try to get new pics but the harness for the ms runs right up with the factory harness,when im done u wont even know the megasquirt harness is tied into the factory harness.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
u are forgeting something
split flow between turbines,but also split flow between compressors as well
if i would have went with one large single i would have gone with a 1.0x ex housing,this isnt meant for street driving this is meant for all out power.
yeah it will be a lil lazy on the street,but it will make killer power on top.
then again with the proper cam/tc, and ignition map it will spool just fine

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
btw i gave up on my ms install tongiht.
i had a spare harness from one of my 3.1 i had cut all the pigtails off off,well after soldering most of the connections, i moved onto the injector harness.
and relized all the wires were pretty cor0oded under the insulation.
so tom i get to get new pigtails and start all over again.
on another note id like to point out something i found out today.
i had full taken apart the injector harness,and what i found simply amazed me.
were the connector from the main harness goes into the loom for the injector harness there are 4 wires, 2 power feeds and 2 grounds from the ecm.
now these are spliced onto the injector pigtails. ok there spliced not a big deal,(wrong).Gm used solderless crimp conectors to connect the injector plugs together 3 per bank.no type of protection from moisture other then some what looked to be black elec/duct type tape.when i removed the tape the connections were very coroded and green.its a wonder how the injectors were working with the type of corrosion on the conector.atleast gm could have protected a connection like that a lil better.
and gm wonders why they are in trouble and no longer #1

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
Dale stage 1 is only to get the megasquirt dialed on a base tune instead of jumping right into a force induction tune.
also the 2.8 in the car is trashed so i dont care if i mess up the tune even though im trying my hardest not to, motor only has 5-10 psi oil pres @ idle and 30 psi @ 6,000 rpms
stage 2 is pretty much to get a good base tune for the turbo so i do not destroy me new engine during engine break in due to running lean or a bad timing map.
at this point ill be taking it down to the track running prolly 7psi just to see the diff over my last outing only diff will be car back to a normal wieght i.e no stereo system or added wieght,and it will be actually tuned. knocking the extra 800 pounds out of the car alone should put the car right around 14.0 or better @ 7psi on the 2.8. the car did dyno 227rwhp @ 7psi with the 2.8 running the stock ecm. so should see 13.5
stage 3
is basically a base tune/breakin of the new motor, ill be expecting around 270-290 ish rwhp @ 10psi
stage 4
is were its gonna get intersting
at low boost levels the twin turbos will make less Hp Per psi due to being outside there efficiancy range.10 psi with the twin will prolly be 20 ish hp less then the single turbo @ 10 psi,though i cant be to sure as the twins will run cooler air temps and also make more power in the upper rpm ranges,so right now its all just estimates on what the tt motor/setup will do at low boost
stage 5
this is were i really expect the motor to shine
around 15-18 psi is were the turbos go into max efficiancy so hp numbers shold have a considerable jump over the 10psi numbers.im looking to make around 550-600 at high boost levels on race gas
by this stage the car will not really be a street car anymore,atleast not something u would want to drive everyday,by this point im hoping to have the car down in the 2,6xx range as far as wieght
also the 2.8 in the car is trashed so i dont care if i mess up the tune even though im trying my hardest not to, motor only has 5-10 psi oil pres @ idle and 30 psi @ 6,000 rpms

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
Sorry to hijack the thread but by any chance are the 2.8/3.1 pacesetter headers compatible with doing a turbo install...?

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
you would have to do a "remote mount" system. if you wanted to do a front dump exhaust you would need some major re-working of the headers. would probably be more cost effective to just make your own at that point.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
2600lbs? Thats kind of ambitious dont you think? I'm at 2930 without a cage and i have no idea where 300lbs would come from. I'm not saying its not doable, but you're going to have to remove the dash, replace all the glass with lexan, and maybe gut the doors. You'd have to run a full cage too. I know a guy with a CACC prepared transam (www.reentryracing.com) that weights 3200 with a cage, full gutted, and LT1.
Would be interesting if you weighted all of the turbo stuff. Just cause I'm curious as to how much weight your putting into the car. And what are you doing for a bottom end? I don't think the crank will handle all that, not to mention the tranny. Are you going to keep it auto and have it stuffed with V8 internals?

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
well megasquirt is 97% wired alls thats left is the power/ground and the signal wire from the wideband 02
should be firing her up tom night after i get out of work
pic is from when i was removing the factory harness,ill get better pics up soon

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
well i got the ms wired up fully and the car ran for a few mins last night.
but after reflashing the ecm with the standard ms1 code ive been having problems getting the tunning software to connect to the ecu.
hopefully tonight will prove to have better luck

woot the megasquirt is fully installed,and now it is up and running.
10 mins worth of adjustments and its idling like its still on the factory computer

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
well after rob stoped by last night i got it tuned a lil bit more, have some off idle stumble still but i think its due to a noisy tach signal going to the ms unit. the tach signal is jumping to 4,500 rpms when the motor is only @ 2000 rpms.
though it runs buetifully at wot
but anyways today ill be reinstalling my fmic and cold side piping/ with the turbo hotside plumbing and oil/feedlines being reinstalled tommorow
if all goes well and i can get the thing tuned i will be making some passes this comming wensday.
the car will be the same setup as last time except for 2 things, the car wont be a total pig and wiegh in at 3950#'s and will have the megasquirt for tunning. other then that it will be run with the same turbosetup and motor as lasttime

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
i dont think i will get boost up that high on wensday,ive goten the car to drive around pretty good, but ive got this horrible off idle stumble that i can tune out.it only happenes when i slightly crack the throttle.car bogs then off it goes.
ive tried increasing and decreasing the accel enrichment but niether is making it any better

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
I have aftermarket spark plug wires, the only problem though, is their angled terminals and boots (will obviously help the MS from being interrupted). You'd have to swap ends with the stock plug wires, as well as the stock terminals, but at least the wires would be much better.....

i was also getting false positives from my o2 sensor,i was pulling out accel enrichment since it was saying it was going dead rich, but it was actually going dead lean. now that ive got the part throttle section of the ve table closer its reading good.im still gonna swap out the single wire o2 and wire the heated o2 back up.driving the car around the shop here i really cant get the o2 to proper temps so readinhgs have been slightly eratic

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
yeah better plug wires may help if thats were the tach signal noise is comming from.but im starting to think thats not the problem, the more i refine the ve tables to get rid of the lean missifires the less the tach is jumping around.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
well it does not appear i will be able to run with the megasquirt come wensday, ive been trying to tune this thing all day and the tach signal is messed up so tunning is virtually impossable, i can only tune wot/and idle otherwise the tach signal goes all screwy on me.
there isnt enough time for a ms rewire to control ign and fuel.
i did wire the megasuirt in in such a way that i can revert back to the stock ecm in about 10 mins.if i decide to install the turbo this weekend and finish it intime i will run it back on the stock ecm @ 7psi

Seriously sounds like a noise issue. There must be something to do that can fix it.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
a simple capaciter soldered into the tach pickup signal circut should take care of the noise/spikes in my tach signal.
just need to get to the local radioshack and pick up the capacitor and solder it into the tach circut

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
oh yeah btw stage 1 was completed yesterday/last night.
ive been working for the past 4 hours on the car and the turbosystem is 90% reinstalled back on the car,and should be 100% within an hour or so.that leaves me all day tom to install my drive shaft loop and tune the ecm for some boost.
wensday ill be getting rid of some more unneeded weight/and massaging the wheel wells to fit the slicks.ill be getting the car trailered to the track around 5-6 pm for some test and tune. videos will be posted shortly after. as well as pics of said progress to this point.
well pics only if i remeber to pick up a disposable camera lmao

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
i say stock turboed 2.8@ 7psi vs stock 3.1, cause if i have to run the ls1 ur gonna force me to turn the boost way back up,and im really iffy about doing that without a wideband
i told u my turbo 2.8 vs ur stock 3.1 and ill give u a 2 sec head start

We're doing some more work on my "BTA" project, and the 5-speed might just find it's way on it very soon after all. If it's not dismantled by this afternoon, I have no problem beating <cough> running you tomorrow night with it....

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
very carefully, naw all kinding aside, i tuned the lower parts of the v e maps by hand while driving the car around, then went back over it with auto tune.
then i set all my 101+ kpa tables way rich since i dont have a wide band right now. what i did was just slowly lean the tables until my afr qauge would light up the next to last rich light on the face.
when i checked my narow band gauge against my wideband the next to last light was like 11.5-12.0 afr
just to be sure im gonna fillup with 114 race gas and make 1-2 easy passes first. prolly a burnout/halftrack run,look over the data logs,make adjustments and then make a 3/4 throttle pass do the same.and then just go for it.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
sounds fast, what you spotting me out then?
glad to see the combo is progressing, I'll probably have questions when my TT combo work starts this fall, although one turbo "shipped" out on the 12th and the guy has no receipt or tracking number and ebay is screwing me around.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
Last night went as expected. Only so much you can do with 19-lb injectors, non-adjustable regulator, and a narrow band O2. Car lit up the burn out box pretty damn good, but under a heavy load though (especially with the slicks), the intake kept blowing off (lmmfao), and Dave was obviously forced to let go of it....
Was finally able to get the damn thing to stay on by way of "zip" ties (connecting a couple of them together) LOL, but the track was done for the night, so we fooled around in the pits a little bit. Engine sounds fu%^$$& GREAT. Still got a lot of minutes left on my cam, gonna use them possibly for tonight (a little street racing over in Toms River), and definitely tomorrow night back over @ e-Town. Will have them up soon for you guys.

Re: Project : Twin Turbo Camaro
Did you have hose clamps on it?! How could zip ties hold better?

Did you see this good idea?...

Yeah, it's a disposable digital recorder. Was supposed to run myself last night, so I left my video camera home, then realizing that there was nobody there to put Dave's car through tech inspection (I had to). A digital camera was then purchased, and it served it's purpose well.....
