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"

Thanks eagerly waiting your results once you've sorted out your setup :)  

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

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.

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. ?

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
