If thats the case, thats a bit disconcerting given it sounds like the turbo has actually been on the car already >_<

I've seen a vid on youchoob of what looked like a Silvia (or some 4cyl) with an EFR9180 doing a 1/4 mile run, got a really poor launch then storms off to a 10.4 1/4 mile.

lithium - the early results mark berry and team have shared are impressive. WTAC is just 7 days away now, going to be some interesting developments. btw motoIQ put up a new article today RE the sierra sierra evo who stepped up from the efr 8374 to 9180 for the event

Fingers crossed all goes well, this EFR curse where hardly anything seems to go smoothly (not necessarily anything to do with the turbo/package itself or its delivery, but not necessarily not either) is unreal.

Does this mean the -10 turbos are going back on the R34 for the WTAC?

nope. :whistling:

edit: well that will be plan B but not the option we are intending to go with.

yeah like Geoff said preliminary results have been surprising! we had a few dramas not related to the turbo which put us behind a bit. but even just getting the car set on the dyno checking sensors etc and just 'driving' the car in 3rd gear at a stable 34% TP, we saw 1.8bar at 3,000rpm. that is not bad... We only got to just over 2bar before a problem cut testing short. We haven't diagnosed the problem so don't jump to conclusions yet guys! bear in mind as well our 9180 was a prototype/testing model and was assembled from whatever bits BW had available at the time to make us a complete turbo so that we'd get it in time for WTAC. I know of at least 1 improvement they've made since we got ours that obviously our model didn't have.

But we are still committed to pushing forward with the new tech and working with Full Race and Borg Warner (who have both been fantastic) to get the 9180 on full song, pumping out massive boost and massive power. And we will almost certainly be running a Borg Warner turbo for WTAC.

lol, how could you Geoff! they were quick enough with the 8374! I thought we were friends.... :closedeyes:

never too late mate. there will be plenty worth seeing. S2 EVO will be super fast. the underbody on it looks amazing. and our own little efforts are not too shabby either. there is plenty new stuff to see on the Advan/Hi-Octane GTR(s), as well as the R32 with the 6258 set=up (first R32 to try that kit).

hop on a plane or canoe or whatever and get over here.

Will see if I know anyone going over, quite late notice to plan transport and accomodation but the closer we get the more interesting an even it seems like it will be. Never been to Oz, should really get around to it.

Jetstar are having a sale ;)

Also accommodation is easy, there's lots of places to stay in the city and you'd be mad to not stay in the city. From there, there is a train that goes very close to EC - then a cab ride which would probably be under $10 each way.

Sounds promising so far... without giving away specifics, was anything changed in relation to the head? Cams, porting or CR with the change of turbocharger?

nope nothing really changed engine set-up wise. the head is actually probably milder than what most people would think. it's a circuit car after all and velocity ranks over outright flow most of the time. we have certainly never struggled for flow/power either. if it's not making enough power it gets more boost. The results Mark has achieved from all the different turbo set-ups have always been at the upper end of the 'average' results people get. part of the reason is that where most people seem to stop at 20psi or 25psi (god knows why?) Mark is more of a 2bar man. More than 5 years ago Mark and Russ were getting amazing power our of their stock N1 crate motor with R34 N1 turbos. like 350kw+.

pretty nice offer there from nytsky/Dave, lithium. I would do it mate. :) you can pay him in cans of L+P. :) all you need is a deathstar flight and some train/taxi money and you are at world time attack...

1.8bar by 3000rpm?? Sounds insane.

Lith, i have a spare room at my place. Only 20mins from the track ;)

Room for four people?! :action-smiley-069:

Yep we're flying there from Perth for a touch over 300 return... cheap weekend of motorsport!

Good stuff - its so easy to get to, here's a pic to give you an idea

Im going to add my view for everyone, I have had a 8474 on order for 3 1/2 months paid for up front from F/R, there is still no word on when it was due to arrive...Full race could not tell me anything, all i got was promises, then I spoke to Mark regards the 9180, looked to be a good thing but it has not lived up to the hype, you will all hear about it soon... hence I have cancelled my order and going to a Garrett. BW have a long way to go if they reckon a 9180 is a 1000hp turbo..

As the tuner of the berry car said, when they freight the turbo out from the US to OZ the salt water must rob the turbo of 300 HP.

    • 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. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
