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.

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
