Thanks,
did you do the vane control yourself?
Is the controller capable of controlling the vanes following a boost pressure over load graph?
Is the vane control programmable directly or does it require additional stuff? (not talking about the vane actuator).
Which parameters did you connect for the vane control, except actual boost and load signal (pedal position or ?)?

(09-14-2010, 04:32 PM)muuris Btw, since I have latest Mynä-pump without their LDA: how adjustable is that? Can you set it to increase fueling at 2psi onwards and give full at 30psi?It should do exactly what you are saying give more fueling as soon just a little boost, and max out at around 1,5 - 2,0 bar i can just say it works great and no smoke at all. i don't want to adjust the LDA, just the max fuel screw.

Ouch that slip when changing from 3rd to 4th. Will get worse soon if nothing is done about it.
Your tranny also shifts way too early. Even with stock 606tbo you can rev the engine to 6000 (mine has max power constant at 4800-5800). Don't know if your pump is set to reduce fueling earlier, but it's easy to tune. Now you are losing some easy potential for nothing

I found the following settings the best on mine. Less backpressure = slower spool-up. More backpressure = engine dies, slow spool-up/boost stops to build.
When throttle is floored on low rpm, backpressure was about 0,8bar when boost started to rise. When boost was 1,6bar (at about 3200rpm) backpressure was about 2,2bar. On higher revs, both 2,2bar.
That was with previous pump. Now with more fueling, boost goes higher than backpressure. Haven't done much testing though, waiting to change the valve springs and gearbox.

I am interested in this kit for my swap. What did it cost you?
Have you driven it yet? Did you have any problems, because as far as I know the PCS controller has no way of knowing what gear the transmission is actually in.

Yes it has 3 PWM output, but i dont think you can control the 606 IP width the PCS controller.
but another one here has made a homemade controller for the IP, but cant remember who. he used a arduino board, and had it running.

Now after I've played a lot with adjustments, made upgrades to fuel and exhaust systems and after several dyno runs the end statement is.. He351Ve is good for just 400hp on OM606. The compressor would be good for more, but the turbine is just too small even though I have external wastegate.
402hp is the highest power I've dynoed with it. With stiffer exhaust valve springs, 3,5" dp and 3" straight end pipe, 150gph fuel pump, 10mm fuel lines and modified filter housing, Mynä pump etc. Just won't give more. Reducing the fueling increased power until the 402 point, but it smoked even on full boost (2,0-2,5bar on different runs). It was kinda better with the old pump, which delivered much less fueling. It was smokeless at 1,6bar boost and power was 380hp.
Here is a video of VGT vane system operating on dyno.
I agree. A VNT/VGT turbine's vanes should never see 100% open in normal operation. Maybe a HE431V is the next upgrade? You may be able to swap the 351's cold side onto it. From what I can find it has a 70mm turbine exducer, I don't know the inducer size.

HE351VE has 60mm compressor and turbine.
HX40 has 60mm compressor and 65mm turbine. So are they same?
I would say they may look the same, but if the numbers are different clearly not the same.
@ OM606: you cave it some good thought, i don't know if it's richt or wrong atleast your thinking about it, thanks.
My personal idee was that one flaw is the sliding ring itself.
The gasses entering the turbine are forced to a 90 bend,depending on the position of the ring more or less gasses, giving (heavy)tubulance and braking the speed of the gasses.
Now there are not much things to do about it other than trying to make an differend ringshape, with more of a radius where it's dirrected to the wheel, experimenting with the shape.
Gone take some time and hard cash....
And yes a already know that closing it means heavy EGP, have one running on a cummins in a racecombine http://www.racing4tijnje.nl
The vanes/blades of a turbine wheel in an automotive turbo charger are designed with a specific pitch to produce sufficient torque at certain engine speed and power setting, purposely delaying the rise in boost pressure until a certain engine speed is reached so the engine does not generate too much torque at a low engine speed and brake something.
A down side of making a turbine wheel with such a narrow power range, is, that when the engine is not close to the speed/power range that the turbine wheel is tuned for, the turbo will not make boost.
The moveable vanes in the HE351VE are an attempt to make up for the tuned operating range of the turbine wheel, in an effort to supply lower amounts of boost at lower engine speeds, by directing the gasses to the sides of the turbine wheel vanes, "pushing them in pulses" as apposed to the constant rotational force generated by the pitched portions of the turbine blades that are tuned to generate the required torque and speed for the compressor to generate the desired pressure at the desired flow rate.
The waste gated turbine wheel design is, generally, a more efficient design as the pitched vanes are tuned to produce rotational power at a lower engine speed, but as a result, is capable of over boosting and revving the turbo if the waste gate does not effectively regulate the volume of gasses that is driving the turbine wheel. This is why OEMs often put larger waste gated turbos on smaller engines, (to prevent early/over boosting)
The HE351VEs turbine wheel is tuned to produce a max boost pressure and turbine speed when used with the engine it was designed for. Unlike a waste gated turbo, the HE351VE turbine wheel will not over rev, and the turbo will not over boost the engine if the controller malfunctions, (if used in the OEM application). That is why the gentleman is finding that the HE351VE will not make more than a certain amount of HP with out smoking; the turbine wheel is tuned to limit the boost the compressor can produce. Additionally, having a smaller displacement engine adds to the limitations, but if sufficient fuel can be delivered, without burning up the engine, to generate higher EMP than the OEM application generated, then the limiting factor is the turbine wheel.
Turbines like to run at constant speeds. The ideal set up would precisely regulate the turbine gas flow, and have a bypass on the compressor side to allow the compressor to spool with out generating boost pressure, allowing the turbo to stay spooled to at least 75% at all times. As boost is required, the waste gate and compressor bypass would each close a little, increasing the turbine power to match the compressors needs to generate that specific amount of boost at the engine speed.
Regulating a near constant turbo speed would be tricky to do based on how quickly the volume of exhaust gasses changes, let alone the degree the volume changes. In a gas turbine the volume of gasses generated do vary quite a bit obviously, but they do so relatively slowly, or the turbine will begin to surge and then bad things can happen.
The most effective point of a turbine blade is at the outer half of the blade height, (given the blade height is no more than 1/3 the length of the radius of the turbine wheel), which is where the blade is pitched the most.
The degree of the blade pitch, and the number of blades a wheel has determine the torque/speed potential of a turbine wheel. Blowing on the side of the blades obviously generates rotational force, and requires higher pressures to do so. The method is quick and dirty and met the requirements of the OEM, (cost, engine life span, emissions, drivability).
Thanks thats some nice info

Quote:A down side of making a turbine wheel with such a narrow power range, is, that when the engine is not close to the speed/power range that the turbine wheel is tuned for, the turbo will not make boost.That is incorrect. Turbo range is limited by the fixed geometry compressor wheel.

Thats been the case for a long time, but most Finns don't pick up on it. Watch a bunch of their drag race videos; You'll notice the 400hp engines are usually faster than the 500hp ones. Why? The 400hp cars get "on power" quicker because they have more torque low in the RPM range and their turbo spools up quicker.

Thats been the case for a long time, but most Finns don't pick up on it. Watch a bunch of their drag race videos; You'll notice the 400hp engines are usually faster than the 500hp ones. Why? The 400hp cars get "on power" quicker because they have more torque low in the RPM range and their turbo spools up quicker.

I for one want more torque off the line.

Torque is what throws you back in the seat and horse power is what makes the skin peel off your face at speed ... ummm oops. Streebike reference.
Gsxr. 110hp 42tq
Buell 1125. 146hp 82tq
1st-3rd the Buell can rip the GSXR a new hole all day long because it has roughly double the torque but up at speed the race is much closer because the horse power is doing the work. Ask me how I know my buddy has geared his GSXR down way lower to try and get torque out of it, but there's just non there compared to what I've got on the Buell.
Really in this kind of battle whether it be care bike or train. It comes down to how long the race is! In a short race the torque wins and in a super long race the horse power wins.

HP is a function of RPM and torque.
You want more HP? You have to play with where the torque is, and how much there is.
I'm certainly no expert but, I do love math, physics and all science really.

Here I read that horsepower measurements of a device like a motor are based in part on torque measurments.
So, if your comparing 2 motors the torque #s might be very intuitive to see that 300>200 and 400>300.
But, compare 2 motors with different torque #s and then their horsepower numbers won't follow a linear relationship.
Seems like torque is just an more straightforward measurement to compare.
