I only bought one cause Pissbin went from -5 to 8374 and said it was epic, and that is as a internal gate so let’s face it=shit

he probably would have said the same if he dumped a 6262 on as well

Yup. Lol.

Precision turbos are basically for knuckle draggers who only want to go in a straight line and brag about numbers.

For intelligent people who want a quick street car, tarmac rally or circuit car EFR is the right choice

Alternatively you could buy a reasonable sized Precision and have it all...

Maybe I'm still waiting for my intelligence to kick in ?

You need a pro mod 88 on your car, then we can take you seriously.

Lol will report back once 8374 is on seeing as the engine had a 6262 on it which was pretty epic before

 

unlike you kunce I ain’t bias to either will report back which is better after I hit all the same tracks

 

GTFO with your bias calls, I've been given shit from every direction because of my inclination to stay neutral :P Apparently as soon as I talk positively about one brand I am a fanboi for it, even if I could have just finished recommending another option over it 5 minutes earlier somewhere else.  If you're talking about the excessive discussion about Borgs in this thread, check the title - of course you're going to get some stick for bringing Precisions up in here haha.

Would be very very interested to see how the 8374 comes across after being used to a 6262, it's not a change I'd necessarily do given they're all going to be so similar - but if the change is going to happen I'm very interested to see how it comes out.  The 8374 is (in theory) a step up in hot side flow, so depending on the housing chosen and how good the head is I wouldn't be too surprised if there is some loss in down low spin (purely gas energy versus the size of the turbine being spun), a bit more power per psi and no loss... if not an improvement in transient response once up on boil.

People both for and against the EFRs versus other turbos seem to selectively suggest there is magic involved.  There isn't, as with any turbo or really any product.  A huge amount of getting the best performance is picking the right unit for your job - the last 5% of improvement getting the "best possible result" is often the hardest work and biggest expense. 

There always seems to be that someone at a track meet smashing guys the big dollar guys using the cheapest parts they can get which won't fall apart with what they're using it for.  Doesn't mean that they wouldn't be happier or possibly doing better if they had the better bits on it - and sometimes the "most desirable parts" just won't suit a set up as well as something else, so the result will actually be better.  We're lucky to be spoilt for choice :)

This is the good oil Dan.  I hope people take the time to think this through.

Many people get wound up about the detail and fail to comprehend "what went wrong".  Often it's overlooking the detail, and how things work together.

Either that, or the driving talent is under-developed :)

Just wanted to say personally I think these turbo's are  bit 'homo' in regards to the specific power they put out, just my experience v's the many others I have used.

 

IE: get brand Lez Beane V's EFR on same boost and they will make considerably less power, and also the rpm (engine) is less too. Nothing scientific to add here its just what I have seen first hand.

These turbos are designed focussing on response for a power level, not max power level for a wheel size.... all the information is there to determine whether the flow will suit what you're trying to achieve, to make sure you are able to choose appropriately from that.   There are plenty of cases where you can go up a size in EFR versus a competitor and still end up with better transient response and make up for, if not more than make up for the flow difference penalty you may have had using a size down.

Problem is they don't make a larger one (9180) :(

and the twins is 'aids' spec, so you ironically are better off with other brands at high power and especially if you want to use full rpm of your engine.

The EFR's are really weird that way irrespective of what the charts say, they choke engines, seen it on all types too.

Yeah, hard to disagree with most of this.

The last bit... I still need more data, and while I agree re: the choking engines - it seems quite a bit like the data is there, but Borg Warner have presented it in a way to make it seem "better than it is"  They have mapped lines way past where compressor efficiency would be falling over, the "95lb/min" line which they so clearly mark for the EFR9180 is VERY misleading imho.   You have to pay attention to the numbers, not just treat the right most lines as the target.

I think there is a very real chance that the bigger G-series turbos coming out from Garrett could give Borg Warner a kick in the pants.

agreed, what garret have managed to get out of a 49mm turbine exducer (21% less cross sectional area than a GTX3076) is remarkable. although their compressors are very impressive as well

am looking forward to seeing what they can manage with something >70mm.

Welp....

 

f**k.

Seems like the gasket has gone through or at least into the inlet to the turbine. Not yet removed manifold but i'm expecting to find chunks of gasket sitting in it.

What are my options now?

 

Happens on rotaries allot, typically it flows like this.

Over time, even on metal gasket the 'pre load' drops with many thermal cycles distorting the flanges/gaskets, then as a result there is hot gasses leaking, which in turn then break down the barriers that isolate the heat away from even a high rate stainless or Inconel gasket what then ensues is 'torching' of the said gasket and it falls into the turbo. Starts mostly at the center divider as this part takes much more of the heat stress as its got a far longer path to reject the said heat to the outer walls of the mainfold............. anyway end result is a total cluster f**k as above.

This is why I dont use any gaskets personally and only smear on a thin layer of a special product I get in for others used in aviation.

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
