As soon as my 8374 arrives and I have got Sinco to make the manifold (They have tacked it together to check first that it fits with this turbo) I will have the car on the NZEFI dyno (4x4 hub dyno) and we will see what it's like on a built RB30/26, I will post results/dyno sheet when done

Is the style of the manifold much like the what the Full-Race design? What material?

It is similar, Have a look on their website

They make them in steam pipe, I've had dramas in the past with my HKS/Top Secret Stainless Manifolds cracking and warping, Where as these guys warranty them for 5 years against cracking and warping.

I will be getting it HPC coated

I wouldn't buy another Jap manifold.....If I was going stainless it would only be a Full-Race or a 6Boost

6Boob's are steam pipe brudda cuz.

As nice as FullRace items are, 6boob leads the way in collectors. Total sex.

Trains are seldom late, buses fill the gaps, ferries make for something to do on the weekend, so on and so forth. I should get my license back in 2019 and so far the last 3+ years without it havent been bad :whistling:

You lost your license for 10 years??? wtf did you do, repeat drink driving without a license?

that sux. i got 4 years for crossing double whites...... dangerous driving my ass..

How can you lose your license for 4 years for a single traffic offense? You must have stacked them up prior to that to get done for 4 years. My house mate lose license for drinking driving, then got caught again unlicensed AND drunk and only lost it for 3 years with no lawyer or anything, just pleaded guilty.

well anyone who reckoned the 9180 might be too big was way off. preliminary testing has been done and if anything we are thinking we might want a BIGGER one!! response is amazing for such a large turbo. thoughts are that on a track car it would be a good thing even on a 2.6L. yes ours is a 3L it's way more responsive than the -10s it replaced. getting the car set-up on the dyno at part throttle the thing is coming onto boost in the 3,000-4,000rpm range! my memory is hazy so don't quote me but off the top of my head at 4,000rpm it made 60kw more than the -10s. final results coming soon.

the 6258 car is having the turbos installed as we speak but just having a few issues getting them fitted. but once done we'll have graphs to show. and yes 450kw+ is the aim. if the car needs more fuel pump i'm sure it will get it. no point leaving the car below it's potential just for the sake of a fuel system.

so, guys. can you make us a bigger EFR or what????? maybe a 100/90? even a 100/80 would probably do it.

Not sure if serious.

agreed. I've personally looked at both and both are excellent but not sure I'd choose a 6boost over a full race manifold. also have now had the pleasure of a good look at the full race RB26 twin turbo manifolds for the EFR twins and the collectors on them are outstanding. even more so when you consider the space restraints they have to work with. Full Race have also experimented a lot with different grades and different wall thickness of steel and I think their manifolds are fairly robust now. I certainly have no problem in using or recommending them. I have also recommended 6 boost in the past too. seriously though, don't comment too much on Full race gear till you've seen it in the flesh. it's hard to capture properly in pics just how nice it is.

Great news Richard. We knew you'd like the performance. We've seen in person that it's not hype, but ultimately want the guys in the trenches to show the rest of the community just how impressive these turbos are...

What fitment issues on the 6258's? Those things just slap right in! ha ha! I hope you mean you're fitting the charge piping and dump tubes. That fitment is definitely not for the faint at heart, but we think your customer will think they were well worth the effort. (if you're having issues with the manifolds fitting I want to know about it) We plan to fit another pair on another car to make some O2 housings so the end user can use any aftermarket downpipe. We'll probably get to that after SEMA. Glad you like the turbo, and be sure the push those little turbos to their max...think you're gonna like them.

And...thanks for the props, we do our best to make a product you'll never have to replace.

they are big cams. exact spec doesn't matter too much. I would suggest something around 280 10.5mm if it's a track car. the thing is lots of the jap cams are a bit too big on duration and too small on lift to enable them to be bolt in cams.

honestly the way it's looking it would be an ok turbo on a 26. with the 8374 on your RB30 you might find you want something bigger, though for a road car it should be fantastic.

Thats what I have in the engine, 280 10.55mm Kelford Cams, I am a little worried that they are going to reduce the responce....But hopefully by what you are saying about the R34 they should be OK.

Now your making me want to sell my 8374. Any chance of seeing a dyno sheet from it? I know the numbers are probably top secret but even if you got rid of the numbers so we could get an idea of the curve.

Sounds awesome so far- not sure if you are joking about needing a bigger turbo though haha. Have you already maxed it out, and thats the motivation for saying that - or is it just because it spools better than you anticipated so figure a bit more lag for a bit more power would be acceptable?

This turbo is advertised as being able to ~95lb/min of air - if thats accurate, this has the potential to be a 1000hp vehicle... call me conservative, but that might be just about enough for a track car ;)

He's assuming that it's going to run out of steam up top the way it's breathing down low, but I've told him I think he's going to be pleasantly surprised. I know the SSE Evo was over 800whp with a smaller turbo, I have confidence he'll get there. thumbsup.gif

Hmm well going by the results I've heard of the 67mm S400SX turbos doing - the compressor wheel is probably capable of pretty serious things, all comes down to how much exhaust gas the 80mm turbine can do. I'm picking that if the cam specs thrown around are at all relevant to this setup, its capable of quite happily cracking 600kw on a hubdyno running E85.

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
