  1. With the EFR7064....in T4 TS 1.05 A/R configuration

    Would this be enough for insane response, broad power band and 8000rpm redline on a 2.0L or 2.2L SR20 (with correct cam selection) while pushing over 400rwhp?

    My goals are to find a turbo which will support my goals of a very fast street car (in all aspects) which will also be brutal on the circuit...

    The 1.05 is prob a bit big. The .92 easily,easily will achieve that goal. I have a 2.15L SR20 with a 7064 .92 and Poncams (tiny) and mine made 258rwkw on about 16psi with very,very conservative timing. It goes a lot harder now but haven't dynoed it since. Still can't afford to take it in for another run. With 24-26psi and 260 degree Procams, it'd go off it's head (Prob 350 odd rwkw. My injectors/gearbox/clutch would not support that level of power).

  2. The IWG on the .92 housing would only ever be a problem if you were trying to run very low boost on a V8 or something. Generally on any RB or whatever, you need to run a lot of boost to make a lot of power. To run a lot of boost, the gate needs to be more closed. The more boost you run (making more power), the smaller the gate you need. Putting a bigger than necessary gate on just means that it will be more closed for the same target boost level.

    800hp through a .92 IWG:

  3. The dyno run with a fairly quick ramp rate did not represent the on-road boost threshold. It showed full boost at around 3800 on the dyno.

    I'm now running my E30 mix and have added 2psi of boost across the board and around 6 degrees more timing in most of the full load cells with no sign of knock. I didn't push it any further but I plan to get it in to the tuner in a month or so see if has any more headroom and get a good dyno printout with RPM and at a slow ramp rate.

  4. Don't get me wrong, performance is great and will be AMAZING with some ethanol and more timing. I am just SO angry that I've tried to make a no-sacrifices street car build that's quiet and comfortable and running tight bearing clearances for thin oil and the ability to cold start it 10x a day if I want to and now I have a car that I have to explain the noise to everybody who gets in it cold and that's also very difficult to tune ignition timing due to knock detection difficulty. The whole suspension package, EVERYTHING is based around the car being 100% like a factory car in terms of noise, engine longevity and comfort. I deliberately did not purchase a Toyota 86 because I knew I could make my S15 so much better than an 86.

    There is no way in hell I'd ever get the motivation to pull the engine back out and there is no way the machinist would ever look after me. It took me months to get a thicker head gasket out of them when they took too much off the deck.

  5. I'm too angry with the machinist in Victoria I used to even think about my car at the moment. I told them verbally and emailed them that the Mahle pistons I provided are 4032 alloy which expands a lot less than the more common 2618 but I could tell that they just switched off when I was trying to tell them that 2 thou over the coating is the recommended clearance by the piston manufacturer. So many ppl in this industry just think they know it all and can't be told. It has the loudest piston slap I've ever heard in my life and even when warm, the tuner had huge difficulty trying to detect knock over the piston noise. I spent 2 years building what I wanted to be the perfect street car and now I don't even want to drive it. I wish there was a way for me to do EVERYTHING myself and do it right. Hopes and dreams shattered at the moment.
