link for people with no google skillz

mustangs still read higher than DD by a bit, but the results are comparable as far as ramp and peak power go (within a few %).

Good find.

I find it interesting that they are already making application specific housings before they even have a full roll out of the std housing options though...

It would be nice to see this option with a T4 TS IW housing on it.

Originally it was a consideration for my own project, right till I found they cancelled the plan for T4 TS IW housings on the smaller turbines.

Even if it were to make 450whp on 98 the response is excellent, we would all be out ordering gateless 6boob jobs me thinks.

There is some parallel dev I suspect, Cosworth were working on them before ANY options were available. And cheers for posting the link, I had been having issues with my browser and ended up with a "CBF, do it later" moment. I figured I'd said enough to give the proactive googlers something to hunt for :)

he is probably waiting till he gets some good results before posting anything :P

Geoff currently doesn't have a turbo on his R14. His car has been sitting in his shop since the Modified event last year.

The Blue R34 in Borg Warner's booth had an 8374 twin scroll in it. The results haven't been posted yet because the owner of that car has not put in on a dyno yet. There is also an RB26 that has the twin configuration on it with the EFR 6258's. Not sure if there are numbers on it yet either, but the biggest concern for most is that they DO NOT SHUFFLE. I've had a few twin turbo set ups on the RB26 and anything that could produce over 550whp seemed to "shuffle" (surge)... so that was good news.

well I have ordered a 9180 EFR TS housing (twin ex gate) back in november 2010. still waiting but it should be coming soon. I will do my nut if bumhoe gets his first though! we ordered and paid last year!!!

pretty keen to see it go. hopefully it'll be the first in aus. :)

Ordered my 9180 mid november too. Cant wait to get the damn thing. Where did you order it through?

Well i rang GCG turbos today and some guy told me they are still 4-6weeks away to arriving due to problems in US.

this is really fustrating cause i cant do anything until i get this turbo.

2weeks ago i was told it should arrive within 4 weeks. :/

  • 2 weeks later...

Is geoff at full race ever going to post results of his personal rb26 + efr set up?

Probably why nothing posted ....new build with motor 7 inches rearward.

A) Twin EFR 6258, on a 2.6L RB26, tomei 280 cams, mild headwork, stock intake manifold/tb

B) Single EFR 8374 .92 a/r, Full-Race twinscroll manifold, on a 100% Stock RB26, Tomei Poncams are the only engine internal modification.

I know that dyno reads notoriously LOW, and I think the single was found to have a boost leak which is why it wanted to drop boost up high. The torque curve looks nice on the twins, but I agree with Lithium we need more boost to see what they really do.

We're you hear that? I pulled the pics off GTROC, but there wasn't any other info.

I know the tuner, and know that dyno. I also know that those pulls were in 3rd gear, so it looks less impressive than a 4th gear pull. It's getting HOT in AZ so 4th gear pulls on that dyno really work the cars harder than necessary. I'm sure Geoff will post up when he gets a chance, he's up to his ass in the new race car build over there at Full Race.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
