How do you guys running the EFR turbos find the boost recoveries between shifts compaired to similar turbos in the garrett range??

My EFR 7064 recovers from shifts around the same as a GT2871R. Pretty good considering the 2871 has a 54mm turbine wheel and the 7064 has a 64mm one.

Gotta love modern turbo tech - a 56lb/min turbo responding like a <45lb/min turbo... its a pretty sweet age when you can go for 25% more power and not loose any response :)

Has anybody heard of any serious failures with these things in racing conditions? I mean like the behind the scenes kind of thing that doesn't get released till much later on.

In particular the 8374 turbo? Later on down the track were looking at possibly switching to this unit to replace our GT35r's that have been rebuilt god knows how many times.

I haven't seen many Indy Cars drop out this season with engine problems.....

Late getting back to this and Geoff Raicer in particular .<br />There are limits to what you can use on a standard exhaust manifold and I reckon if there were suitable TS IW T3 flanged turbos available the standard manifold mob would be better off .<br />I'm particular and I can't have everything as I'd like it even with a single scroll IW turbo . At the end of the day I probably need more cubes so I can have the stronger low down part throttle torque and less reliance on FI to do the job properly .<br />

For next time Geoff check this thread:

Will the .80 divided housings only be for B1 frame turbos or will they do it for the 7064 as well?

I'd be soooo keen for a little smaller housing on my 7064 to get full boost under 3000rpm :woot:

Brad is your 7064 mounted on a standard RB25 manifold and if so can we see some pics of it . It'd be interesting to see a bolt on one in an R33/34 engine bay .

Cheers A .

It's an SR20 with T4 TS.

Welcome to the thread.

I did look in your sig before I asked the question and wasn't going back a dozen pages to check what you run .

Does anyone here have a 7064 on an RB engine ?

Actually it was on page 61, this is page 64. Thus my commentary.

Most of our RB customers use the 8374. however there is a drift team in southern California "Animal Auto" using RB25 with EFR 7064. here is the motor setup:

Also on their FB page: https://www.facebook.com/AnimalAuto, check the vids from april 11 and may 21, the engine does not sound like most RB25's

I will ask - I do not know the answer to that one

Correct - in the last 2 years all Indycar teams are using off-the-shelf EFR6758 or EFR9180 and zero turbo failures to date

In particular the 8374 turbo? Later on down the track were looking at possibly switching to this unit to replace our GT35r's that have been rebuilt god knows how many times.

the 8374 is a really, really good turbo, my favorite turbo ive ever had on my RB26. If you are coming off a GT35R you will not be disappointed. We have this available as T3 or Twinscroll T4 IWG right now. (1.05 a/r still has a very long backorder )

Here's a fun little clip (if anyone is familiar with the old High Octane DVDs the sensor of humour and style will be familiar - this is a little tongue in cheek) with an EFR7670 showing it's worth on an E85 fuelled EJ STi WRX: ("700hp" is actually ~450kw @ 4 hubs):

They don't do twins that small, EFR6258 shouldn't be far off in response but would make a crap load more power

Thank you ^_^

A single EFR7670 would however be more responsive and make more power than -9s

Not looking for top end , high 5's low 600 awhp and tears asphalt. Looking at cost for custom exhaust mani to keeping stock and having twins also ^_^ I want that balance instead of just gobs of power on top.

The single is smaller, more responsive than the twins. 6258 are capable of heaps

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
