Update time!!!! Fuel is E56 only Still not bringing it on as hard as possible, just letting it come up as normal (not tuning via turbine speed YET). Turbo is a EFR 8374/1.05 AR turbine housing. 300 KW at 4000 ish, 461.5 KW at 6000 RPM then it falls over. I didn't see this coming but the issue is the turbine housing is too small! The next size up is a 1.45 AR which is the same housings they used on the indy cars. They were saying that the head is just breathing like a weapon. Funnily enough, both Petes and Intune's car were able to stretch to 8000 RPM even though their engines are larger! For the time being I will take it back and enjoy it for a while. If I put the 1.45 on, Scott thinks it will see 500 KW and make even more through the middle by 20-30 KW. However, i'll lose a tad at 3000 ish RPM. I suppose I better get used to short shifting. Lucky I have 6 gears. For those of you who are hooked up on boost numbers, 25 psi at 3850 ish RPM but that will improve again. Pretty sporty for a lazy, laggy single turbo

Have seen rear housing cracked. Both Nick and my -5 had shaft play through the roof. 10,000 km old and 5-7000 km old. Front was pretty good, rear's were rooted. The nug cages of the older - cores can't cop the abuse. (I believe the current ones you buy have the metal cages from the GTX series). I suppose at the end of the day, especially with E85, guys are pushing harder and harder (I'm guilty of it also with the -5 setup) and it's just burning the candle at both ends. More, more, more! 9.5's/10 the rear will go first, it works harder. Go back to 2005 and a baller result on -5's was 350. Now it's 450. As for rebuilding turbo's. How often do you rebuild them? 618's on a 2.6 would be woeful around something like Wakefield.

Lol. When are you going to man up and buy one. Piss off that nug PTE ?

Meet Ernie, Ernie the EFR.

Whatever 125,000 Rpm is. It will be higher early on then taper off as the engine consumes more air. So. Bring on 125 k ASAP and leave it there. Boost, who cares but at guesstimate, 30 ish psi as it comes on (late 3000's/4000 ish) and mid 20's at 8000 rpm. With any luck, hopefully less "boost".

400 kw at the track is -5's. Minimum. Can't expect -7's/-9's or whatever to last at high 300's at the track. Shit will be glowing red, melting. Kinda have to "relax" everything considering the punishment. "Intune's" R33/RB30/-5's/e85 which was making 424 rwkw lasted 6 laps at Sandown, rear turbo popped. Pulled them off and it's was totally rooted. My -5 setup lasted 2 trackdays (which they were turned down) and no more than 5000 road kms. Rear turbo was cactus. A street car making "x" with everything wound up ain't going to last long hauling ass up mountain straight lap after lap. Forget -9's buttplug's. If you want 400, you NEED -5's at a minimum.

Would last 2 laps...

I believe Scott is spending all day on it today. No idea where it's all upto apart from the information I've posted. Cant see it making anymore than 480 awkw. That's as much as Scott has seen out of a 8374.

For how long? Not very ? realistically, a set of -5's should be pegged at 410 ish for trackwork. Heat, heat, heat.

Yeah, go for Laughs. Turbo isn't the size of a small planet and I don't have three on the tree... so will get pumped!

-9's won't get anywhere near 450 mate. -7/-9 are close enough to each other they're not worth discussing the differences really.

They're smaller than the -7's and journal bearing. -7's would have been better.

So, what Nismo turbo's are they? Lol

What Nismo snails are you running? I hope they atleast are ball bearing.

Yes yes, good good. Shame it's not an RB30 you could stop there Would have to. RB30's don't rev... or something ?

Suppppper early days. Scotty mapped the gearbox, the thing shifts like silk. It ain't spewing oil out either which is good! Got a misfire on cylinder 5, will look into that tomorrow. 18 psi by 3700 ish RPM on petrol with cams set at 0/0. V cam looks like it would have been a waste of time. Scott can get it to surge at 2500 RPM. Need a 9180 ?. 25 kw behind at 3700 rpm compared to my full effort -5 E85 run.... on petrol... with a misfire.

Maybe photoshop a unicorn on the dyno? One foot on each roller?

That doesn't sound right. time to look at your tune

Headed out there yesterday to pick up my dead starter motor. Greg made up a bracket for the pre throttle/post throttle MAP sensors. Almost looks factory! Sneaky fuel pressure sensor hanging out too. Scott was tuning a WRX last night to clear today for my mcnug. Petrol tune first, cap to pressure at 20 psi. That will be more than enough for "commuter fuel".

It's been ages but in all seriousness, it's given me time to fund it all. I got over being a pest and giving deadlines years ago. They never happen and just piss me off. I really couldn't give a shit when it's done to be honest.

We have already spoken. No go there.

Road Rage Gauge Speed-Boost-Temp Hi guys, I have a Road Rage Gauge that I was going to run on my car to monitor EFR turbine speed but have decided to wire it straight into the ECU. This is the Speed, boost and temp version (part number - RRG - 0000121) Im after $500 for it. It is brand new, never been run. To monitor turbine speed you need to buy the sensor seperately. It is not included!!! Located in Georges Hall, NSW. Will post at buyers expense.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Marcus. ?
