Nothing to write home about at this stage, need more rpm/boost to hint at capability

I would say both of them are very unimpressive...

I hope you all are not referring to these results..

Saw a 9180 on a full race manifold today - looks the business, as does the rest of the car that had undergone some major work and really awesome to understand the concepts behind it all. Will be very interesting to see the results on 30psi

Hopefully they get posted up :D

Given this thread was started back in october last year Richard results are rare as robot shit.

I was a prospect for one of these turbos, All I wanted to see was some real world results. T'would appear I could die of old age before they are forthcoming. :rolleyes:

There has been issues with the actual receiving of the goods for a number of people depending on the turbo/config you want.

Unfortunate as its holding up results more than what FullR have done etc.

yeah sorry noel. I view in different forum view to you (I think 20 posts per page or something?). but yeah scott above posted it again. my view has this as page 16.

cool nismoid. so is this a vic car or have you been to qld.....??

Check page 9 Noel the rb26 results are there for both e 8374 and the twin 6258 kit. Give it 3 weeks and there'll be local aus results. :-)

I'll be keeping my eyes on that one too..... if i ever get my motor back :(

do you know what rear the 8374 is??

Has anyone in Aussie got a 7670 or 8374 Twin Scroll yet?

Just wondering if they have started shipping yet?

yep there's an 8374 TS in sydney. not sure on 7670 as I don't know of anyone using one/waiting for one.

not sure when you ordered but we ordered and paid for the first 9180 late last year (november from memory). and same goes for the bloke in syd who got his 8374 TS. same goes for the other mate of mine who is getting an 8374 but he's still waiting as of yesterday.

but yeah I think they are slowly starting to trickle out. they really do need to start getting more out as without some volume in the market interest will peter out and everyone will just go back to what is easily available.

I'll be keeping my eyes on that one too..... if i ever get my motor back :(

do you know what rear the 8374 is??

yeah mate it's 1.05 TS ext gate rear housing. going onto a 2.6L RB26.

BorgWarner is working as feverishly as possible to get them out the door. A foundry mishap really put them behind the 8-ball on this one (you blokes ever use that term?). The second foundry should have the first batch out in the next few weeks, hang in there.

Might have been a legal issue (BW & Garrett) than supply problems, which makes things interesting.

Some detail below, was resolved only a month and a bit ago. Whilst it's over Tit Comp wheels according to the release, could have been more there.

Hard to believe a foundry problem when they are 6-8 months behind, especially when only select people have received them after extensive complaints, after being told there were "none" - suddenly they got one ;)

Perhaps there is nothing in the above, perhaps there is. Either way people are starting to specific combos all of a sudden which is a good thing.

The only legal issue was Garret getting their hand slapped, but it had nothing to do with the EFR's delivery. I like how you're so sure it couldn't be a foundry issue...because you couldn't be further from the truth. I can't divulge everything, but I'll break it down for you and the rest of the readers in this thread. IT WAS A FOUNDRY PROBLEM. The first 250-300 housings turned into about 150 housings that actually passed BW's quality control. Those then went to machining and those 150 turned into 100pcs after a second quality control check in machining. Simple as that. When you remove ALL OF YOUR TOOLING from one foundry to another and start over because the first foundry was unable to replicate what they had made in the original prototype runs in bulk... you have a HUGE delay. None of this in conjecture, I know.

You are from Full-Race i take it?

Good to hear some more information - this is what we like to see, as there has been no mention of why there are issues that has been easily accessible, so one is just left to wonder at times :thumbsup:

I'm am with Full Race, and thanks. I'm in direct contact with the BorgWarner EFR specific team on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis. It's been a very rough road. The reason you'll see certain people getting them right now is simple, those first 100 that FINALLY made it thru production are sneaking out. 100 turbo frames for the world is not an easy task to delegate. They have to get them to the distributors that ordered them first, then those distributors have to get them to the individuals that ordered them first. We have a talk with each person we ship them to as well before we ship them. We want to make sure they still want it, are ready for it, and can post results so the rest of the community is not left in the dark any longer than needed. We've even had one customer tell us he's not going to be ready for his for another few months, so to please find someone that's ready for it so they can post up results...good stuff. It's a tough and rigorous process, but we want everybody to see the results so they can make educated decisions as to whether they want to order (or wait for) these turbos. We want to make it fair for everybody involved. So does BorgWarner.

Totally understand all of that mate - makes good sense.

Just when you have no info, you just wait... and wait... and wait... One can only speculate on 12hr night shifts :turned:

We all just wanna see local results really (and no doubt you as well). Hopefully some Aus ones start coming through, I think we can expect those over the next 4-8 weeks on our fuels, air temps, street/race etc.

Hopefully EFR's are much easier to see a difference compared to the GTX series >_<

We've seen good results with the twin turbo set up, but haven't had a chance to really test the 8374 on the RB26 like we wanted (customer had a boost leak in dyno graph posted earlier). Now it's just too hot here to dyno it. We had a 118º day (48ºC) just the other day.... blink.gif

There is a twin kit now in AU as well as a 9180. So... we should see results soon!

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
