Very similar results to my sr20 with 7163. You definitely want to get the 4 port mac and dual port turbosmart actuator.

I bang on about this a lot, but find a 12watt solendoid MAC valve, its useful duty cycle range is much larger than the 5.4w version and gives more granular control (which is important on a 4 port implementation)

ebay "MAC 46A-HIGH FREQUENCY"

I ended up ordering a 9174. When told back then they didn't have any I asked if anything from a 7670, 8374 or 9180 was available which was annoying because I had to give them each part number .

Was then told they'd call me back in 15 minutes. After waiting a few hours I called them back. This went on for about 4 days til I eventually just said I'd wait til mid June for what I ordered as they couldn't work out if they had any of those models in stock.

I'd be surprised if they are able to get any of the efr turbos.

If anybody could put me onto someone with stock at a good price that would be wonderful thanks.

I like the fact you are in this thread. Time to bin your junk turbo

Hey Andrew

Given that your quite close to the boys at racepace what is their opinion of EFR vs GTX Gen 2?

Well ill let you know if i like being in this thread in a few weeks :10_wink:

The HTA was an epic turbo for the past 4 years as an all rounder but its time to step it up a notch... The 8374 should do that :cool:

The "cracking" pressure of the new one is around 17psi, the old one around 8-9psi.   The plan was to run it up to around 20psi, or at least what it would run happily - last time that obviously wasn't a thing.

People I know in NZ seem to have been getting them VERY quickly lately, there may be a bit of stock for some EFRs if people in Oz may want to get one from here - I can enquire if needed.

Check this site out if you are struggling in Oz: http://www.nzperformance.co.nz/efr-turbos.html

Dude is very straight up, responds quickly and tends to have quite a bit of stock on hand.  I was just chatting to him and he has an EFR9174 supercore in stock right now and reckons he could have it to Oz by mid next week

having a real hard time sourcing a 9174 super core either cast or alloy chra, doesn't matter which.

 

anyone have any leads?

Just on that, I see SPARESBOX have them and most of the efr range on eBay now listed as being in stock and for delivery in a few days . I called to ask WTF as I'm told to wait til September. They said they all come from their warehouse in USA and will take 7 business days. 

I believe this is very misleading so be careful purchasing on eBay through Sparesbox. I'm not sure what if they are waiting for the us dollar to change or what. 

The 2 options I see are paying a premium from someone like gcg who may have something on the shelf or buy from the states  and hope nothing goes wrong.

Someone from this forum needs to bring a container load here. ?

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
