What boost do you run?

So most people use 15% as a thumbnail guide. Although our Porsche Club use 32% and I have a sneaking suspicion that this would be as per the factory. However the club uses this for all versions of Porsche to calculate wheel and crank power figures to put us in the appropriate class.ORIGINAL: barks944
You calculate the frictional losses in the engine and drivetrain during the overun after the power run. Basically instead of driving the dyno rollers your decellerating them and it calculates the losses from that.

George, MAP not MAF with a modifed Motronic to make the MAP sensor work.
Thanks Nick. I will have to intercept one of the S2's with rotten sills en-route to the crusher and put the block on the shelf....[
Just on the power calculation comments, has anyone used a dynolicious app on their phone, [
One other question which I'd value you gents comments on ref a 951 mod engine. You may be aware when Honda made the Accord diesel engine, they moved the crank c/l so that the con-rod vertical was 6 degrees past 12 0'clock. (so "TDC" was +6deg to true TDC). This was to assist the smoothness of a very high compression. I really like the idea, and reckon if the guys at serdi were asked to move the liners to create this they could, but am not sure if the cylinder head would cope with the out of position which ensued...??

I have the Pocket Dyno+ app on my phone which I've found very accurate although I haven't weighed the car to work out the BHP. It can give a very accurate 1/4 mile using it's GPS, I was just looking at the result page but seems I must have lost them during an update, there's no cars listed in the garage either ...lol IIRC I had 0-60 times of low 4 secs, 0-100 around 10 and 1/4 mile low 12's. all this on roads so should be better on a track. These times are what I'd expect from the car with it's mods, would be nice to test again when the new mods are measured, We'll see...
Regarding the Honda engine situation I'd bet that if it can be done Serdi are the people to do it, amongst other things mostly F1 tech they have a lot of experience in liner mods. I remember John showing me a couple of Diablo engines that were having liners fitted, evidently the engines as they come out of the factory are crap, there's a design flaw that means a rebuild will be needed at very low mileage, Serdi's mod solves that problem. Since they did a lovely job on my block I'm happy to recommend them, btw Serdi were the engineers that did the work on Andrew S's 422bhp car many years ago.

If I pulled off the Pools/Lotto I'd get a billet block/head/crank made then boost to 35-40psi like all the competitive Japanese crowd do.
That's a big little word though...'IF'....[]
It's not only the Japanese cars that are boosted higher Patrick, my son's Cossie is at 36 psi. Does make me wonder how they can hold that amount of boost without blowing up as he's not had any major problems with the engine, the gearbox however is another matter...
I would expect my block with it's full Raceware bolts/studs and other mods should be able to take more boost but the question is, 'how much?', perhaps I'll find out one day...

Tom, sorry to hear that - how is the crankcase vented, you sure there is no excessive pressure?

It's harder to run higher boost the bigger your cylinder capacity gets, but the usual tricks apply. On the modified Cosworth blocks they run longer studs deeper into the block to keep the head on. They also modify the sumps, not sure if this is for baffling or just to run more oil.

I'm sure you will get nothing but positive results. When will that be ready?
You may have seen it already, here is the dyno sheet from a friend's 3.0 engine with the Lindsey intake.
When a standard 968 turbo S makes a remarkable 368 lbs.ft (500 N.m) at 3000 rpm with the 951 intake, he sees that even earlier at 2700 rpm and it spreads up until 6100 rpm. Apart from another friend's 1200 bhp muscle car, this is the fastest car I have ever been in. Mine is no slouch but his is borderline insane.

May I assume the graph is not fully calibrated as it has the torque/power crossover at about 4750rpm which is wrong.

any thoughts on Crankcase venting TTM? to atmosphere via a Catch can or to Intake system?
I personally dont like the vent to atmosphere as it seemed to cause gaskets to weep but I tried it as the Sci Vision did not like oil contamination.......

Vacuum in the crankcase will always help against bottom end seals sweating oil, and will also assist oil in getting properly through the turbo's center housing back into the sump (which is why I think Porsche draw a vacuum line between the engine mount and the AOS), otherwise oil may leak out though turbine seals - this is more likely to happen when running a cone filter instead of the AFM, as the AFM, when closed, pretty much prevents any air from being sucked into the turbo apart the air coming out of the crankcase. When running a cone filter, the turbo will naturally suck the air from the filter more easily than that coming from the crankcase, particularly at tick over (when the AFM is about fully closed on a std engine).
I use a recirculated catch can in between, which shouldn't really be needed when pistons rings are near new and properly sealing, but it should further avoid oil vapour making its way back into the turbo inlet. I emptied it today and though there was not much in it, there was still a little bit of the typical mixture of oil/fuel coming out.
If you use a good recirculated catch can then the MAF sensor should not be affected at all. I use a Saikou Michi unit and it works pretty well. I would always widen the hole coming out of the top of the AOS, as it's actually a fait bit smaller than the size of the hose suggests, when you look carefully into the hole.
