Quote: If your application requires a twin scroll T04 flange, then you're in luck: the twin scroll T04 housing bypasses gasses from both scrolls making this the first aftermarket performance and racing turbocharger to offer a twin scroll internally wastegated turbine housing.

Mmm, nice.

Mitsubishi have had internal waste gate twin scroll turbos since the Evo 4.

Nothing new, but still cool.

I will have the catalogue in my hand probably tuesday. We will make my next turbo selection from there.

I've pretty much made up my mind these borg warner's are where i want to go.

??

BTW, the EFR turbos are at the higher end of the aftermarket turbocharger price spectrum. The reason why is because they are so feature rich........ If you look for quality and don't mind spending a premium then keep reading.

Taken from one of the links... I guess BW turbos had there stint as being very well priced in comparison with Garrett.

Friend will be back on deck from sema on tuesday and will hopefully have all the relevant guff we need to make the selection we need.

That and I'm an old prick. would rather have a paper catalogue than the link you posted that wont open for me anyhoos. :ermm:

There are some prices in the link I posted earlier. 2.7k US for the external wg 8374... so over 3k landed. Hopefully these are only preliminary numbers...

nasty pricing

surley they would stick it to garrett by matching prices initially

ill definately be holding off if they cost that much, untill they are proven to be the shit by one of you guys

So nearly $3k for turbo, plus Full-race manifold $2.5k (landed), twin wastegates $300ea; you are over $6k and you have no gaskets, dump pipes, intake pipes... Halve that at $3k and a set of -5's would be fine thanks!

And you get the gaskets lol

is you'll find that the Series EFR turbos are unlikely to directly retrofit into existing T25/28, T3/T4, or GT30/35/40/42 fitments

Indeed a very costly exercise to become a guinea pig!

The BOV placement is interesting, in a space conscious bay, that could be a bit of a problem.

Another possible drawback is that the turbine housings are not available in various A/R sizes due to specific gas flow optimization for the housing and wheel shapes. It is possible that BW may release other A/Rs in the future, but for now the T25 inlet wastegated housing is only available in 0.68a/r, the T3 open volute (single entry) wastegated housing is only available in 0.85a/r, the T4 divided (twin scroll) wastegated housing is only available in 0.95a/r, and the T4 divided (twin scroll) non-wastegated housing is only available in 1.05a/r.

Interesting...

Like the idea of moving the mount points thought, nice and easy.

Well the Sierra Sierra EVO has knocked 2 seconds off its personal best (which happens to have been the lap record for the track, which it took off HKS) at Buttonwillow on the first day of US Superlap using an EFR8374, gotta be promising...

so probably no twin option for a standard capacity GTR hey... if GT-RS size is the smallest they're going... if they have that size that spools like the old 2530s then I'll take 2 thanks;)

they are testing twin turbo IWG applications at the moment on a couple of GTRs. I have some pics but not sure if I can share them yet, but set-up looks good. all that remains to be seen is results. ;)

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
