Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

[Lithium]

Yeah, been rotated around 180 from there - the BOV is very close to the exhaust manifold, and the boost control solenoid has been relocated.

Any chance someone can upload the photo to the forum? I am on mobile device and the pic won't load for me

[Lithium]

I did?

[iruvyouskyrine]

Won't load at all, the pic of ECU log works but not the pic of the engine.

[Lithium]

Weird, ok this then

[discopotato03]

Yes looking good so far .

A .

That one works fine cheers mate! That BOV would be getting very hot without heat shielding I imagine, did he go to a full race metal cover? I hadn't heard any mention of the noise these things made either until Greg mentioned it. Hopefully the 6758 is just as noisy but it has the type a front which isn't anti-surged and only 2.5" inlet.

Has anyone here run a EFR 9174 or 9180 1.05Ar on a RB30 or Stroker??  Looking at running a Borgy on a 26/3.4. But cannot decide .. Looking to see what would work best in a drift car

What is the boost target ?

If lower than 25psi on a 3.4L go 9180 1.05 a/r.

If higher than that go 9174 1.45 as the compressor will spin close to the max rpm the 80mm turbine can take.

for a 3L or 3.4L the single EFR will choke.  Twin EFR is my recommendation.

both of those options will likely choke due to backpressure on a 3.4L engine

Long thread but 8374 on 3.2 results towards the end

And is an absolute RIOT to drive! So much fun!

Ever taken any EGP readings on combo's like this, Geoff?

Page 26 on this thread has my result on a 26/3.2 EFR8374

Thanks Lads.

That's not a 9180... sort it out!

just think of it as starting later and going harder

Tune #1 done, I was a bit concerned about this happening but it is what it is - the BW EFR internal wastegate is a big pile of fail and blows open as exhaust pressure builds.  The turbo itself seems to perform awesome, VE is holding nicely up to 7000rpm so far and no hints of excess back pressure, intake temps never reached 30C... I'm going to try and get video of the gate opening as rpm increase despite having 80% duty on the boost control solenoid.

256kw at 14psi, hitting 18psi by 3500rpm - will be revisited at some point with a Turbosmart dual port actuator.  Car drives basically like a Euro, it spools better on the road than my Mazdaspeed 3 with the stock K04

In case folks hadn't been following, the above is a T3 0.83 internally gated EFR7064 on an RB25 - btw.

A helpful mate has offered use of his high pressure BW actuator to test out on this car to make sure that fixes it before buying things, thanks @Sub Boy32!    Hoping that it allows us to hold around 18-19psi, or whatever it seems appropriate to run

What was the max torque figure @Lithium?
