numbering system is pretty simple. 7670 is 76mm compressor 70mm turbine.
Garrets is nice enough, gt30 size with a 76mm compressor is a gt3076.
EFR 8374 is your gt3582 size turbo erf 9180 is gt4088ish sized etc

There's a guy with one for sale with his 2.6 setup. 500+kW, didn't run a great time at the drags but mph was 142mph or 145 can't remember now.

And this is exactly what is wrong with most people in Sydney!

Good worried about your drag time at the uleh drags rather than drive ability on the road and track.

I know nothing about Sydney, but this is a universal trend: chasing a dyno number over all else.

2 things:

1) The 8374 is very responsive but yes it still comes on around 4k on pump which may be "laggy" for some.

2) The 7670 may be the better choice for pump powerband but I would really be scared of overspinning it. A road rage gauge may be mandatory on that setup.

I thought long and hard about the 7670. Ultimately I'm glad I went 8374 because it's still super responsive for what I'm doing with the car and I've got room to grow if I build a 3 or 3.4 later

There seems to be a few ways of looking at the power for drag against track and road.

If you do not use your car on the road it does not matter how it drives around town, rev it up and let go , so whatever makes you happy.

For me I did not mind loosing some Dyno KWs up top to have it drive the way I use my car. Probably still be OK to drag, just change gears earlier I guess :)

Looking at putting the 8374 on my built 26, what's the best way to head interms of manifolds.

Any videos of these things in action as well?

I am also on 6 boost. Lots of pictures in build thread. Raw brokerage won't work, Full-Race won't work with r32 ps and ac.

I'll get some more videos but I have some on my build thread. I need to get a driving video of the car soon.

So how does the 9180 compare to the GT4088 in the real world. Seeing how efficient the efrs are, how would they go on a 26

i was a fan of GT4088R back in 2003, it was a good twinscroll turbo at that time. Now its 2016, GT4088R is outdated and very old design. EFR9180 murders it. Even the journal bearing SXE turbo smokes the 4088R

The 8374 is very responsive but yes it still comes on around 4k on pump which may be "laggy" for some.

I suggest to check your IWG spring and perform a boost leak test. For an EFR8374 on RB26, boost should be well on around 3500rpm. 4000rpm is a little bit late

We have a couple R32 GTR in our shop right now if you need photos of anything in particular.

I was under the impression that full race was just the AC, I think i've seen their manifold on a car with 32 power steering still on it.

^^that is correct

    • 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
