OOOOOeeee....

Cut a hole in the boot floor and mount the intake/filter in the boot. Then cut a vent behind the licence plate so it can breathe...

if you put a vent behind the number plate you will get exhaust fumes in the cabin area.

Yeah i've decided not to because i may have to drive on gravel roads and it'll suck dust into my boot. And that will destroy all my amps and sub. Haha.

I'm sure marty has thought of the best way to do it.

Any one who says it wont work obviously has no abillity to think outside the box, the huge lag myth has been been eliminated and the water and dirt on/in the turbo and filter is easily fixed.

Yeah, but that is a 5.7L V8, Not a 3L six pot,

GT45's arent laggy on LS1's.

I'm still dubious on the results but I hope it does work.

I'm personally looking at doing it on my 5ltr fairlane but even then I would probably only go a 3540 with a .8 or maybe a 1.0 exhaust housing.

It's not the optimal set up but if you pick the right size turbo it can be a nice little power booster, and with the way the vic cops are if you can mount it high enough and put a cover over it it will keep it stealth.

If you want to do that I would get the smallest turbo you can get away with, the NC fairlane makes 165kws at the flywheel if you only want a bit more than that (say 165kw at the treads then you would only need something like a 28RS, not a 650hp gt35R, bit over kill imo.

yeah. At the end of the day with the stuff i'm doing to the car it will be making more power even if i wasn't putting a turbo in. Seeing as the engine i had was on its way out. I'm hanging out to get it back though. Hopefully the final result is a good one. It'll give me something to build on and hopefully help people who decide to do something simular!

Exactly :ermm:

Also the housing on that turbo is rather small, doesn't look any bigger than a .82 at best.

Very small for such a large capacity motor, and certainly aid alleviate the massive piping addition

did you have a look at the car you mean? Got two brand new bumpers for it so she won't look so bunged up. What coilovers would you recommend? And yeah i'm gonna find some fat, light, inconspicuous looking rims. Any suggestions there either?

S13 coilovers fitt fairly easily I believe... Marty willl be the one to ask. I have HSD's under my pig.

As for rims... I'd get a set of 15" steelies widened as much as possible each end, then put plastic hub caps back on!!!

haha yeah. Plastic hub caps would make it look grandpa spec! I've got standard silvia rims on it i believe. And there only 15's and look fairly low key. I'll shop around and fins some thing that blends in.

      I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out...

      Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
