The EFR's cost a little bit more.
Everyone bangs on about "light weight billet compressors" in the front.... But what happens when you take out half the weight of the other side of the wheels (turbos have two sides, seems a lot forgot this with ERR MAA GAWD.. Shiney compressor). It can't be a bad thing, right?
The people that have put on and running EFR's all say the same thing. Transient response is greatly improved, on much earlier. Transient reaponse isn't something that shows up on a dyno though.
There is a particular S2000 at the shop that will be tuning my car. They were running a 6466 and now a 9180. Turn two at Eastern Creek they would have to use second gear with the 6466 but with the 9180 they now use third. The 6466 is, a smaller turbo but the 9180 is on earlier. Makes you wonder huh?
There is a back to back I posted in the EFR thread between a 3582 vs 8374 on a larger BMW engine. GTX off EFR on. EFR made more midrange and the same top end.
For the sake of a back to back, there will be one between a 6266 0.84 and a 8374 1.05 on a 3.2/Vcam. This will happen early next year. The tuner has said that he could go to a 9180 and not lose anything down low to the 6266, however low end grunt is the goal so a 8374 has been chosen.
