Gee you're clutching at straws there :P

The graph is same car, same dyno, same tuner.

Wasn't clutching at straws, was just thinking of results in the past rather than comparing to the -10's... But yes you are correct smashes the -10's for power in the best comparison we have :)

By the way for the sake of $799 can someone please back to back an EFR and an Airwerks!

http://www.full-race.com/store/turbos/borgwarner-airwerks/borgwarner-s300sx-83-75-turbo.html

I've gone with the airwerks option while I wait for the v2 efrs (v2 being available and teething problems sorted!).

Scott Kuhner / Tilton interiors got 4th place, runner up to garage revolution RX-7 with an S300SX 8375 1.00 a/r. Probably the least expensive turbo in the field :nyaanyaa: On another note, we're now working on getting BW to release an S300SX with billet compressor wheel that is not EFR but still very potent

I thought the S300SX had billet compressor wheels already? Any chance of getting the whole turbine and comp. wheel assembly from the EFR and using them in a journal bearing Airwerks.

Non ported comp. housings an option anywhere? :)

for reference:

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've had both -5's and -10's on this setup, gotta say these respond better than -5's and make shitloads more power everywhere over either -5's or -10's.

These 6258's are the twins to have without question.

It took me a couple of sessions to get my head around how well they performed on the track. I was getting on the gas way too early (legacy of having -10's) and pushing the car offline and into either under/oversteer.

After a few more track days I'm sure I'll certainly be knocking seconds of my times......

just to confirm, you are saying that the transient, on/off throttle response is better than -5s? nice.

forged billet compressor wheel is brand new to the s300sx, this is as close as we will get to the journal bearing EFR concept you are asking about. Ported shroud is a must have for these turbos, there is zero downside to this it only broadens your surge margin

FWIW the turbo that scott kuhner used on the tilton interiors car was the S300SX 83-75 which uses a cast compressor wheel and flat tip turbine wheel. Solid performer and comparable to a twinscroll gt3582R but with a better turbine wheel/housing and better price (non BB of course).

for reference:

Both of these dynos were done on a low reading dyno in 3rd gear, (not good for impressing people online). We will do some higher boost and 4th gear pulls once the weather is tolerable, it is wayyy too hot in the arizona desert right now.

the second dyno chart you posted of the 8374 had a massive boost leak at the throttle body seals, so it was not a solid test. waiting on him to fix that and then redyno

Nice one... will the price stay the same? :)

The only downside is a drop in efficiency higher up.

It's been almost 18months since I had -5's on this setup, but yes I'd say it is, it's definately not worse.

What fuel were you using? Update the thread post your 2.5bar tune.

Car was a 2.1ltr using e85. It made 300kw atw by 4200rpm which given the limited refinement or development in the tune is excellent. Will let you know how we go when the tune has been refined and we have leaned on it a little.

Are you refering to Scott from Insight?

I would like to know if he is seen as a good tuner, he talks the talk.

yes I meant scott at insight (as does steve). I can't tell you what to think but people I know whose opinions matter to me rate him as a smart bloke. I've never been a customer of his but I have talked with him about things from time to time. he tunes a number of very successful cars... I would certainly trust him to tune my car (which is a big deal to me).

Thanks, he certainly was switched on when I spoke to him and sounded VERY confident with the current Vipec stuff.

Talked about individual cylinder correction rather than 'safe AF's' which tells you something :P

Another thing I have PM'd the keeper about but am waiting on a response is post housing charge temps. I would love to know what sort of charge temps were looking at when running the EFR's at over 2 bar. We need to see if there is a need to move to E85 to get the most out of these units as the stuff just isnt viable for some of us.

I'll ask him. it was a fair while ago that he switched from the -5s to the -10s and I'm not sure if the -5s where ever on the same dyno as the -10s and the 6258s. his results were fairly typical to most well set-up GTRs from memory. the -5s were more responsive than the -10s but didn't make quite as much power. the 6258s are definitely more powerful than either set and seem to be as responsive or more so than the -5s. he's going to wind up the wick on the 6258s soon too.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
