Its a 9280 not a 9274 not sure why powertune put 9274.

They also pushed it a bit more, im not sure what the shaft speed is on this run, knowing the owner there is a good chance he told them not to worry about shaft speed. 

 

So what was the KW and max revs?

Hi Geoff,

Quick question, reading on your website in regard to 84/92 variant efrs and it states not to use a oil restrictor as the turbo has one internally. Does that mean you wouldn't run a Turbosmart oil pressure reg either which are meant to supply a max of 40psi to the turbo from my understanding?  

borgwarner requested that we make a note of this on our website.  However i have used oil restrictors on subarus and other high oil pressure applications without issue.

Turbosmart's OPR is a good product, i would have zero hesitation recommending it

While you're here... I recently tuned a car with an S300SX 8376 with .91a/r hotside on an RB30DET and it performed very nicely - the spool is epic, though it it was out of it's depth quite quickly... not really having the compressor flow to happily supply a nice 20psi of boost to redline.   

We are looking at getting a 61.4mm S300SX-E 8376 supercore to drop into the same turbine housing with the intention of stretching the power out a bit more while giving away little or nothing if possible - question is, we are hoping that it is a straight drop in replacement.  Is there anything we may not have thought of or be aware of which may need changing to integrate the S300SXE core to the existing setup?   

 

Cheers

hi Lith,

the 61.4mm SXE is an excellent turbo, no question.  Two additional considerations are whether it makes sense to step up to the 63mm or 64.5mm SXE?  These all share the same 76mm turbine wheel, therefore they all are drop in plug and play supercore swaps for the same turbine housing. 


Full-Race has these turbos in stock at all times if your customer would like a quote let me know and I can help

Cheers, thought so - was partly thinking about oil feed/drain location and type.  

Yeah there was discussion about the 63 and 64.5, but for the significant increase in compressor size there isn't really a huge improvement in compressor flow relative to the initial step up in flow (>10%) going to the 61mm SX-E and we're really keen to try and have our cake and eat it to in terms of sacrificing response for extra flow up high.   It's also handy that a local supplier has a 68/76mm S361SXE (their 63 and 64.5 have 73/80mm turbines) which will cost us less than ordering from overseas and paying freight and tax haha.  

 

Will post a comparison after it's done, it'd be very nice to stretch the power out more - even with it going flat at 5500rpm it is a very hearty power delivery/fast road car.

i'm really looking forward to seeing what difference there is between the two. the car is rather rapid with the 8375 :D

Finally... 

I've got some good news. My gtr is tuned. Bit of a push but we managed to make 502kw at the rear wheels on 36psi with tb seals leaking. My head and cams are seeming to be the restriction. Going from the data.

I haven't had a chance to drive it yet as I have a 4wd code that's come up since removing the abs.

Not a bad result if there are issues - interested in any data you have to share?  

Might be quite hard to tell if the head/cams are an issue if you have a boost leak, that has potential to mess with the data (and performance) somewhat

I don't think the boost leak is huge. Emap is showing us that the rear housing /head cams aren't flowing enough to push anymore. Turbo is showing good potential at only 115k rpm we still have a bit of head room there. 

I'll post up a few screen shots of logs soon.

Which turbo and what rear housing are you using - on what size engine etc?

And what emap/map are you seeing roughly?

It'll be interesting to see :) The boost and rpm that it's at when it's doing 115krpm would be good info, especially EMAP.  

I'm not sure what you've looked at or considered so far, but 115krpm only gets "on the map" at around 26psiG - and at that point would already be representing just over 90lb/min of flow which SHOULD be comfortably over 500kw @ wheels on E85.   At that point the extra 12,000rpm turbine speed only represents about 3-4% more compressor flow.

You mentioned 36psi, at that point it should be flowing around 84lb/min at 115krpm - so definitely more modest airflow, I would have expected more power than that still but not sure how the dyno you are using reads etc.   Fwiw there should be 12-13% more airflow between 115krpm and 127krpm max speed, so if everything else is working properly and its just how the dyno reads then that still suggests there is the airflow available for 560-570wkw at max compressor speed which is hearty.

 

 

 

 

Basic 2.6 build.

Cp pistons, eagle rods, arp 2000 headstuds. Tomei 260 9.15mm cams. I don't think the head has been touched. 

BW EFR 8474 with 1.05 t4 rear, 6boost twin 40mm gate manifold, Custom 4" exhaust twin. CPC 90mm Intercooler. E85, BM 1650cc inj, 2x Bosch 044s.

Seeing 30psi at 5k. Map/Emap are very similar from 5k onwards. Inj are pretty much done at 85%. 

As for the dyno number I can't be sure as in whether it's harsh or happy, its a mainline 2wd setup strapped pretty tightly.

Ah ok - so 1:1?    (can't be...)   Or 2:1 (unlikely, surely?)       

What makes you say that eMAP is showing a rectriction.  If MAP=eMAP from 5k onwards, that's not really restrictive I would not have thought.    If you're out of Injectors I'd and pushing 36psi I'd say you're on a low reading dyno at a guess....

That's quite low power for the boost on that turbo I would have thought. 

My 2.6 with 260 type B cams an an 8374 1.05 at 27psi made 495wkw on a mainline. 

 

Are you running a crank trigger?

Yea running a kulig kit. I'm not too phased on the dyno number to be honest burn. Last time I rolled off the dyno with 460hp I was surprising people with nearly the same in kw.

Yes  1:1. How can't it be 1:1? 36psi on intake ~36psi in exhaust manifold. If emap was lower we cld push more boost till the emap rises all depends on where the tuner wants the ratio between map:emap.

How is boost being controlled, does taper off ~25psi towards the end

On a side not don't send your car to the tuner with 12mth old e85. It doesn't help. ?‍♂️

100% agreed, 1:1 suggests it's FAR from restrictive.  It's very very impressive, but it also looks like it's probably reasonable to believe because....

If you read @R32 TT's comment and he reads yours - the picture starts getting drawn.  If you've ever looked at how emap tends to behave, it seems very much like he has let boost climb until EMAP is starting to catch IMAP and then dropping boost to stop EMAP from running away as the rpm increases.   Reading between the lines the whole thing has been done very risk adverse/being very gentle on it - if you can call peaking at 37psi and making 500kw "gentle" on an RB26 haha.  But you know what I mean.

It seems from all that has been said that the EFR8474 is doing this really quite easily, which is pretty impressive considering this would be a very fast fun road car.

Apologies I may have mis wrote my post. Tuner stated that the cam and head setup was a restriction. Yea it tapers off quite a bit to match the emap. There's maybe a little more in the last 1000rpm but not a huge amount. 

Boost control is 4port via the emtron

    • 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.
