Do you plan on building this soon? How hard do you rev it? Any other changes apart from the snail? 

Its gonna be interesting to see the difference, especially in the real world.

Still on the factory gearbox?

Will build when it pops.  Probably rev to 8500.

It has getrag behind it now with diff. No other changes to motor aside from turbo.

Do you at least have decent headstuds? the OEM ones are known to stretch and lift heads

I ended up with 1.05 as it didnt look like the 1.45 would fit on current mani.

Should be on this week with tune next week or so.

Nice, I don't really think the 1.05 should be a show stopper at all - especially on a "mild" 2.6, I'd say the turbine speed would be the key thing to keep an eye on.  Very interested to see what the difference is from the 1.05 EFR8374!

 

Good luck

its all happening

Sooner however due to work commitment

After reading through this thread you all convinced me to not get a Garrett GTX3582R and instead I just purchased purchased a efr8374 1.05 ex gate from gcg turbos yesterday. Also brought a 6boost split pulse manifold and 50mm turbosmart pro gate.

Can’t wait to institute in the coming weeks.

What price did they sting you for the efr? What engine/car is it going on?

[BLK-51N]

The efr was $3315 and all up it cost me around $5500.

Good to see you went the 1.05. It needs it if you want to turn the wick up

Guys, what do you think the below setup? Would it be laggy?

1. efr9180 1.05

2. Fullrace manifold running twin gates

3. Rb26 87mm forged CP piston 9:1 compression with tomei rods

4. Ported head with tomei type b cams

5. Greddy intake

6. Getrag with 4.1 final drives

I hv been searching for results of 9180 on stock 2.6l displacement but couldnt find much info.  what i am really after is whether it is going to be laggy.

Fuel will be 97 but running on wmi.

Thanks

Define laggy?  Willing to rev to 9?

[Piggaz]

From guys that have gone from -5’s/2530’s to a 9180/1.05, it behaves like a pair of -5’s to 4000 rpm then the 9180 will walk away from it.

If an 8374/1.05 is on 500 rpm earlier than a pair of -5’s then how much later can a 9180 be?

*using -5’s as a yard stick.

How hard will you be leaning on it?

It won’t be the most responsive setup in the world but you are talking about a 94 lb/minute turbo all in.

What manifold and gate are you running?
