Yep, happened to my stock box too. Easy fix though, replace with an Albins.. you can then run a box cooler which wont heat your feet up as much.

I also pondered the same when ordering, but couldnt be bothered, so went iron. Mines a 9180, and its not really heavy either.

That guy needs to die already. If he lived near my house, I'd be in jail already for cutting his head off.

How much does the response shift to the left on the dyno? What size motor is yours?

I was looking for this info too when i was looking at upgrading. Ended up buying the Alpha Omega Racing one instead of cf.

If so, the someone will have to cut my head off before I buy a fkn shit PRP piece of dump.

Yep thats it. OEM flows around 160lph, but I've never been able to figure out how the testing is done.. ie at what revs etc.

What do you mean by that?

Right, so we swapped the water pumps. Haven't started it as doing other work, so it will be a few weeks, but this is the pump that came out of my motor, 8 blade Nissan. You can see the size difference. We measured the internal housing dimensions and they are identical. Fingers crossed this puppy lives up to its hype.

Anyone know whether the 9180 and the 9280 have interchangeable exhaust housings?

Holy smokes. I'd hate to be the big end bearings on that! 800+Nm under 4k!

Agreed 100%. I am thinking of the 9280, but in the meantime I'll see if I can crack 900w on e85.. I seriously doubt it, but I'll find out very soon. I'm hoping the extra cubes and headwork will get me that magic number at the same or similar boost. I'd be happy if i could run higher boost as long as my IAT and EMAP's don't skyrocket.

Thread reminds me of my journey... dropped my 26 to swap bearings and upgrade sump, ended up with a 3.2 with big single bla bla bla.

So I just got my waterpump, and externally it looks stock, but the blades seem to be pretty big. Here are some pics. I will go measure/compare this weekend and put more pics up, as I havent found any other mention of this pump being used ever, soo might come in handy. Must say, it feels rather heavy/beefy. The bearings are replaceable too, so theoretically you could use this pump for a LONG time.

For 850whp, and If you have extensive headwork, then the 9180 probably wont cut it, or it might be borderline. Remember the 9180 is rated to 900hp only. I'm on around 750whp on around 25psi only, mind you, the tune isnt dialled in as it was a 'tidy up' tune only, however I was having IAT issues, so suspect turbo is being choked. I have a wheel speed sensor and EMAP going in along with other bits and pieces so be interesting to see how fast its spinning and how much headroom left.

I happen to have the same combo but with an Albins that is getting swapped now. Have a look at my sig/profile. I went with the 1.05? housing too. I think this turbo's spot on if you want response and decent top end.

How was your idle ect temps? My oil temps are super stable.

Right, so I've decided to bite the bullet and buy the Reimax Gr.A waterpump.. not cheap but outflows any other waterpump I can find, inc ewp's. This thing flows 250L compared to 160 stock. https://www.rhdjapan.com/reimax-gr-a-high-flow-water-pump-bnr32-bcnr33-bnr34-wgnc34.html I'm sure that the waterpump that I have must have 6 blades(or is an N1 pump), as at low speed/idle my temps aren't as good as it should. This is on my built 3.2. Does anyone know how the flow rates are measured? ie at what RPM?

100%. You wont get much change from 5k if you want to pull a motor out to refresh the bottom end bearings. Whilst the parts may not cost much, its usually everything else surrounding it. Not to mention time.

20psi on a 26 by 3500 is good I thought?

Hows your oil temps? Grout filling will bring up your oil temps. And agreed, I'd rather sleeve then go billet. You need pretty big oil pressures for billet.

Wait what? Were you driving around with the main crank pulley bolt loose!?!?

I had a similar thing happen once. Suspect it was the main pulley cranked up a bit tight for me as it took us nearly 1/2 day to just crack the pulley bolt open.

I’m in the same boat. Waiting for my new setup to be installed. I’ve heard that if the drive shaft isn’t balanced properly it’s more prone to nvh. which drive shaft did you get?

pretty sure you could stick a 70hp outboard to that!
