Hi Geoff,

I noticed there's a new rear for the 6258's. Has there been any testing done against the original .64 rear ??

Would be interested to hear the resulting differences between the two...

(is it wrong to say I'm getting bored with only 500kw..??) :rofl2:


lol :ban: - in all seriousness, the singles have their place (got one on my car) but twin EFRs are next-level

hey John, have not done any back to back 0.64 vs 0.85 on an RB26 yet. built RB26's seem to prefer larger rear housings (within reason) so this is something brett was planning to do on his R34 in the next couple of months. Most of our higher power RB customers seem to go with the 6758 and 7163

it appears it was done in 3rd.. could an 8500rpm readline be correct? that means spooling (10psi) around 4500 and full boost (27psi) at 5800rpm

We typically see 1bar / 15psi around 3500rpm on 2.6L engines with the 8374. I expect we'd be flamed if our "response" based 62mm single turbo was spooling that late on an RB with vcam (10psi @4500)

Chuck up your graph again mate?

What pressure are you running to net 500 kW?

That's a fantastic result then, I was just having trouble reconciling the speed axis on that to RPM mathematically...

an EFR8374 is definately on the cards for me in the next year or so. Having Matchbot and all the turbo maps available is definitely a huge plus for the Borg. I can't make an educated decision on a 6262. its just "yea mate they're good for an RB26"..

I'm yet to stretch out my 2530s on E85, but I can't see them being as good.

This goes back a few years now, I don't have a recent one saved anywhere as the result is always similar.

30spi dropping off, the larger rear housings might just be worth a try..

Alternatively now that I have my chassis all sorted (and bank account drained) I can probably look to go up to bigger twins or large single as I'm confident the car will now handle the extra power.

I too am curious how the .64 and .85 compare in general. I have the .64 and would consider .85 if I didn't get enough out of the .64 but going with 6758 or 7163 twins sounds nuts.

too late to convert for me now.

i like 0.64 for street cars, but im into spool, torque and power band (im an engineering nerd). for a real race car that has a racing transmission and chassis, spool is not as important as outright power. 7163 appears to be slightly more surge resistant than 6758 so that is a plus for 7163 twin installs.

great to hear you like the matchbot and data that is provided! i continue to learn all the time using that tool

swapping to stiffer IWG actuators on your existing 6258s may help carry boost in the higher RPM. turbosmart makes a quality actuator, just be aware it has less stroke than the standard BW and only 2mm preload is appropriate.

moving up to twin 7163s is worth consideration if you have the engine/displacement/head and really want to handle more power - its a direct fit to your 6258 install

So a 7670 would be sufficient to get at 600hp on e85 then?

7670 is really a 530-550hp turbo. For a true 600hp the EFR 8374 is the call. Internal WG with a stiff actuator gets it done nicely on E85 and a simple setup

So on the topic of the efr wastegates I've been hearing more feedback from local tuners who struggle to have no boost creep or have unstable boost at whatever Desired setting and blade the efr wg. The builder/tuner is now pushing to change to the turbo smart actuators stating that they are just right. Why isn't anyone else reporting these issues? Also looks like it's a very tight fit fit with the efr actuators, will the turbosmart fit twins on the gtr?

As for turbo selection, I wasn't going after big power but my build took a few turns which is why I asked about the larger housings. I am after the low and mid range power.... I did not select the cams.

I run:

Tomei 2.8 short block (n1)

Tomei +1mm valves along with all their head upgrades and 290 deg 11.5mm lift cams

Ppg 1-5 helidog gear box and so on

So obviously it's too late to try and sell my turbos in favor of larger ones (hough they are new, people rarely buy 2 efrs at once) but I'm also not after huge power. So I should be OK with the smaller 6258 then...

I'd be happy with 600whp.

i believe 6258 0.64 is probably the perfect choice for you. Im running these turbos as twins on my current 3.5L v6 project. The turbosmart actuators will fit just fine.

We've seen excellent results with the OEM borgwarner stiff wastegate actuators -- up to 28psi. This is how borgwarner designed them and it works quite well. The original intent was to release a stiffer "higher boost actuator" that would go to 40psi. however the turbosmart options works very well and bw chose to focus on some other alternatives you may see at sema this year.

for more IWG control or for boost levels far beyond 28psi then the turbosmarts are an excellent choice. I personally worked with Jon at BW and we used alicat scientific equipment to provide turbosmart with our input on how to tweak and refine the IWG dual port before public release. They took our input into consideration and produced a nice quality gate. it is not at all mandatory, but it does have its place in the market

That's a fantastic result then, I was just having trouble reconciling the speed axis on that to RPM mathematically...

I'm yet to stretch out my 2530s on E85, but I can't see them being as good.

My turbo manifold shipped today. I should have results of a pretty stout stroker 2.75L with ported head, +.5mm valves, springs, cams, hypertune V2, etc shortly on a 6boost manifold and 8374 EFR with .92 IWG setup.

I'd say I should have dyno results within 2 months max. I have had the "two steps forward, one back" constantly on my project so it's taken me forever waiting on new parts and fabbing stuff.

I never had issues with boost control on my T4 IWG 7163. Boost was always easy to control, but the tuner and I went for a creeping boost curve to give a nice powerband.

This is a 9.5:1 compression sr20vet (still 2L) by the way. Intake cam was advanced 4 cam degrees and the exhaust retarded 1 or 2. I will go again for a retune with +2 intake and - 1 exhaust which should bump power up a bit. I'll also fab up a 3.5" down/front pipe.

This dyno reads pretty low compared to most in Sydney. Slight dip in the power curve was because of a slight misfire. It made a few extra KW in a later pull (346kw) but i'm pretty happy with how it drives considering it makes this much power. The tuner was just so impressed and said this was way ahead of a normal sr22det with a gt3076r he tuned.

Geoff you mean 2 boost controllers and 2 waste gates... right? Not 1 and 2?

Each turbo has its own solenoid is what I was told when I bought the twins, not 1 solenoid that splits to 2 turbos...

Edited by NismoSTune

No, two boost controllers will give instability as the integrals will fight each other. One solenoid goes to the two actuators. They should have the same preload so their opening characteristics are the same. Usually you wind up an air compressor regulator and make sure they move in unison.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
