I really hope it's worth it scandy.

Remember back to the early release blurbs about how the integrated bov, boost control solenoid and IW housing options were supposed to make it easier and cheaper to fit one!

So do I mate. Got the bill from Andrew today for the manifold and all the rest. So far this exercise has set me back around $4k... Not bad for something that started out as $100 modify and replace project.

LOL ahh... cars.

"and all ill have to do is change this $5...... $5,000 part" lol yep.

I sold my last car and bought my current car complete, every mod I wanted. Now it only has scraps of the original setup left as nearly everything needed to be redone lol.

Keen to see your results tho, Its a nice kit up you have going :thumbsup:

Pretty well.

More shit. Car came home tonight.

Intake;

Starts at 3" and necks down to meet the 2.5" (?) intake. Trying to source a Pipercross filter with a Z32 mount. Then it's back to Andrew for any necessary mods, and to make up a decent bracket and close it off.

Lobster back hot pipe. Complicated little thing. 12 pieces.

Both will likely get coated wrinkle black to match the rest of the pipework.

And finally, the dump pipe.

I'll have to find a bung for the o2 port. Only there for tuning. I won't be running a sensor.

The dump, pipe, and cat are all 1 piece. So I only have 2 flanges in the entire system. Lovely.

Oh yeah, if anyone in here knows their wiring and SR's, specifically ignition, shoot me a PM.

This thread started 16 months ago..

I want a 8374. But I'm not prepared to wait for the next decade to get it..

What the Fire trUCK is going on..

Well i got my full race mani and BW 83/75 s300sx turbo in about 2 months, and it was only that long because the mani was made to order

Is there some sorta mad waiting list for the EFR's?

production issues actually, havent you read the thread start to end?

no point being interested if you havent

Yea righto mate

I've read the thread and know there's issues, just can't believe there's still a massive wait on a turbo that bearly anyone has..

There's was meant to be a "still" somewhere in my last statement :thumbsup:

lol i guess the 'still' would change everything.

i would assume BW arent in a big rush to roll them out anymore because of the prior issues. they are more likely to provide to a smaller client base for testing (workshops/race teams).

these are still on the map for me but as selfish as it is i want to see more results that show they are more phenomenal than the competitors.

Its very frustrating.

I've wanted one of these since I heard about them..

My other options BW s300 8375.. Bullseye S362 (virtually the same thing) or a gt35 with divided t4 housing.

All of which are proven performers.. And are all roughly the sme money delivered to my door..

Just not sure which would be the best on a daily street driven 1.5j.. :blink:

Just saw this too.. New for 2012.. looks like it could be a better option.

Awesome, keen as to hear how that goes... Whats the rest of the setup?

2.6

Ross crank trigger

Link ECU

aftermarket ignitior (cant remeber what brand) need it to run with Link

sard 800s

Full race twinscroll manifold

260cams

Koyo intercooler

Jun pump

adj cam gears

4 inch dump with high flow cat into 3.5 rear

Both the 83-75 and the FMW are excellent bang-for-the-buck, great power and incredibly reliable. The FMW turbo is basically the "new for 2012" version of the S300SX 83-75. it uses an EFR 8374 compressor wheel combined with 2 different blade shape turbine wheels depending on what the application is. here is a photo of the comp wheel:

our customers who cant wait for the EFR 8374 are generally using this turbo

So benefits in response and top end in the new wheel design?

Can it be bought and swapped into a 84/75 housing Geoff?

Looks cool to say the least

The S300 FMW shares the identical turbine housing to the s300sx 83-75, 84-75 and 88-75, so yes you can share the turbine housings. the compressor housings you can not swap however.

if you decided to get one, i would suggest to get it with a different housing A/R and different blade shape than the turbo you currently have. the reason is that BW balances the non-BB turbo components individually, this allows you to mix and match between turbine wheels and housings on your turbo, without the need for a rebalance. these S300 turbos are extremely easy to disassemble and swap a turbine wheel on, just 2 wrenches on a left-hand-thread is all it takes

So to confirm iI could keep my turbine housing but I would need to swap out the compressor to match up with the new wheel design?

Is there any back to back testing of the old wheel design vs new?

BTW id be keen to do some back to back testing of the new wheel if i was to be supplied with one :whistling:

i got one of your Full race manifolds as well :thumbsup:

Edited by GTR_JOEY

So the compressor housing can't be swapped because the inducer size of the wheel is bigger... Yes.??

Comparing the 2 compressor maps it looks like the new wheel moves more air even at low boost levels.. But I'm no expert at reading comp maps... :wacko:

You keep your existing turbine housing but its a new CHRA.

The compressor is different and uses a different housing to suit, yet the turbine can use the exiting 75 housings despite being different.

My take on it is you can buy both the front and rear wheels along with a compressor housing and put it all together yourself.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
