Hi Geoff,

Which would spool better on a 2.8 (full Tomei 2.734 engine) relating to the EFR8374

1/ TS T4 0.92 IWG with TS T4 manifold or

2/ SS T3 0.83 IWG with TS T3 manifold

Presently have Garrett 5s and 9.0:1 compression 260/10.25 procams that runs sweet no surge shuffle what so ever and is quite responsive, just chasing more of it haaa need it more to the left, higher and flatter ! Only have high octane and no syrup where I live.

There are not to many graphs around and the ones I have seen do not seem to come on boost any better than my current setup.

Been through this blog a few times and seen the blue R34 gtr on your website that would be close to mine but you are not showing a decent graph.

I hear though that the transient response is real good.

I use my car mainly on the street and winding hills where I live so enjoy good response and also take it to Suzuka around 3 times a year.

Overrated mate save your money. Your response looks better than an 8374 for sure.

I have never seen a convincing dyno chart for and rb26 or 28 yet even though these things have been out forever.

Will be interesting to see piggazis and Harrisracings when they eventually post a chart.

The thing is efr's on the dyno don't show up there driving experience. Throttle response is night and day different, power before the spool zone is very different, part throttle boost is again much better. You have to drive an EFR equipped car to understand. They just want to spool all the time. I can get 5psi on my little 2ltr WRX at idle just by retarding the timing from 15 to 5 degrees. In the same vein there is a reason why a heap of OEM cars have a low rotational mass ceramic turbine, also why a lot of new OEM cars now use Borg Warner technology, A45 AMG for instance.

if swapping only manifold and turbine housing - Twinscroll T4 will spool better when properly implemented. I am generally not a fan of SS T3 for most inline 6 applications. for a street/winding hills setup and occasional Suzuka trip the 8374 could work very well as could 9174 if you wanted a bit more top end power or bragging rights dyno sheet. Have you considered twin EFR6258? that is a great setup also, here is a recent chart from a customer build:

The more I read about these EFR turbo's the more I need to have one. If they made either the 6758 or 7163 in T3 and external waste gate, I'd be upgrading my HKS GT-RS in a heart beat.

the 6758 and 7163 are both available in vband inlet, external WG config. The turbine housings are stainless steel its easy to weld a T3 flange over the Vband inlet. I posted a photo of this somewhere in this thread if you need me to dig it up. these will make a GT-RS seem like a dinosaur

experience driving an EFR behind-the-wheel is the only way to truly understand how everything works together. People naturally want to measure everything and compare turbos for pissing contests or advertising purposes... and when the only tool you have to do that is a steady-state WOT dyno, the good stuff can be lost. there are many things in life where a chart or an explanation over the internet can not do justice

it is easy to look at dyno charts, and go on forums where the dyno chart is what matters... outside of forums there is an entire world of racing that does not care about dyno charts. feel free to do some digging:

Hi Geoff,

I definitely prefer the single over the double so most likely will get the 8374/0.92 IWG. Like the simplicity.

1 question Geoff, do you do a downpipe for that turbo to go to a standard position Cat ( r33 gtr) obviously using your manifold.

Do all my own installations at home but not so good at making downpipes. that would be cool if that is possible.

Cheers Mike

Geoff,

Can you provide a v-band EFR turbo already modded to T3?

Which in your opinion is a better replacement for the HKS GT-RS, the 6758 or the 7163? I don't want a less responsive turbo, but the 6758 doesn't look like that much more power than the GT-RS.

Thanks

Contact Nisspeed. James has made a beautiful t25 to T3 adaptor.

That turbo looks like it is going to rest on the right side when the engine shifts around.

The picture makes it look like that but there is about 1.75" gap. Can get 17psi just leaning on the OEM stall convertor (c34 Stagea). Lag was obviously a concern with the heavy auto.

Hi Geoff, Have you had any results with the EFR 9174 hybrids? i've read the spool performance is only 50-100rpm down on a 8374 but your compressor efficiency moves up the revs a fair bit.

also, i remember seeing spool diverter valve a while ago. is there any plans for Borg Warner to release it for the larger frame exhaust housings?

    • So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.      
    • Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.
    • Sorry to say, I think that is a pretty long shot on this forum.....
    • sorry, "info" from Lumley here: https://www.lsvcarinsurance.com.au/about-nrma-insurance
    • So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
