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 ordered and paid for mine mid January, I have had a few emails from Raffi and Geoff at Full-Race, So know about the casting issues with the Turbine Housings that B/W are having....It must be so frustrating for them , But was just curious if any other outlets have been sending them out yet.

...I'm trying to be patient

There are about 7 or 8 distributors getting them at this point worldwide. The smaller frames have been available, but the larger framed turbos have been a crapshoot for all of us at this point. BW has been very open about who is getting what, and there just ins't anything out there yet. As soon as there are turbos available they send a few to each distributor (as stated earlier) and each distributor sends them out to the consumer. HOWEVER there are people stating they have them (ebay and other venues), collecting money and then scrambling to get some. Really a bad business practice. So as a general rule if you already have an order with a distributor it's not going to help ordering from another one. I would gladly tell you otherwise too, it's not like we're going to lose business and don't have people lined up waiting... It's just a tough spot to be in right now with these turbos.

Yes, I see Treadstone list that they have them in stock, Yet when asked they say they are 2-3 weeks away, I'm guessing they pulled that date outta their......

Since they are not a distributor your assumption is most probably spot on.

Lots of internet hype and then not being able to keep up with product demand... Someone is taking marketing lessons from Apple :)

Hopefully the end products are not shit like Apple :nyaanyaa:

LOL! Still loving my iPhone and MacBook.....Would have one of those virus ridden Windows PC/Android things again if you paid me!!

Ohh I'll go hunting for that!

And for the OT war, not an Apple fan either - did give the iPhone 4 a chance to try and impress but Samsung Galaxy S2 ftw, have converted a number of iPhone fans with it without actually trying to :D

That's like saying you are still loving masturbating and would never have sex because you might get a STD :P

Using Mac's for over 15 years too, NO WAY I'd ever switch. iPhone simply works, every time.

Yeah like a Toyota Corolla starts every time! Do you own one of them?

Man I'm trying to think of something to spank you with but youve covered your ass so well with that comment!

Not that I like apple at all, candy apple green skylines though.... :ph34r:

LOL! each to their own....But as for the STD comment, I would rather have a wife with a "Clean Operating System" than a sleazy hooker that might give me a number of virus' YES!! HAHA!

This thread was getting bullsh*t enough on its own.

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!

well if you need a good 8374 result send me one!!! :) I have another R32 GTR here that would be perfect for it. currently 350kw with HKS 2530s (inc HKS manifolds, dumps and piping). with built engine.

but in other news yes the 9180 is here (and I think I sent you the pics thekeeper?)

and even better news the twin 6258 kit arrived last night and is now in my hot little hands. pics to come and results soon.

the turbo's are fantastic (looking). if they perform as well as they look I'm sure I'll be bringing in many more kits after this first one.

PS please excuse the quality of the pics. afterall they were taken with my bloody IPHONE4!!!!!

I think those iPhone pics look AWESOME. Ha ha! Glad you like the way it looks, I think you'll be very happy with results.

And... Thanks, yes Jon showed me the pics of the 9180, it looks right at home in your engine bay!

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
