My 6258 got pulled off the other day. Still in excellent condition after its first 17psi track outing. :)

Should have everything back together soon, then back on the dyno without an air leak... Hopefully.

Still looking good. :)

Turbine housing and exhaust manifold have both been ceramic coated, flange surfaces on the inlet manifold have been machined (3 of 4 were out of tolerance apparently), oil drain will be rectified next time I have a day off. Then I'll slap it back together, and it get back on the dyno, hopefully, with the mystery air leak sorted out.

Tha coating looks great. I'll do that on mine for sure.

I'm just REALLY frustrated about which one to get. "over-revving" these turbos seems to be a big no-no which sux because a 6258 looks ideal for awesome response on a 2.15L SR20 but even though I'm happy to run it down to 60% efficiency up near rev limiter, it's going beyond the "recommended" RPM. Not interested in th 6758 at all. It's compressor map looks horrible and the 7064's inducer is smaller anyway.

I just wish turbos were more customisable. I think the 70mm compressor model should also be offered with a 61mm turbine for smaller engines and a T3 divided .82 housing as well to fill the gap between the T25 .64 and the T4 divided .92/T3 .82 (both spool about the same).

What are the RPM limits on the EFR's?

That looks real clean. Who did the coating and what did it cost for the housing?

So get a 3071?

Anyway, i was at a track day recently and another s13 was out there with a .64 6758.

Basic built red top, 260/12mm camtechs, greddy intake manifold maybe and a high mount manifold. The thing was making a touch over 300rwkw at 21psi all in by 3500. Cheating with E85 but still very impressive.

I certainly wouldn't discount them.

3071R is bigger that a 7064. I want smaller. I'd use a 7064 over a 6758, even if I lost 150rpm of spool (which is all the dirrefence would be) in exchange for 10psi less exhaust manifold pressure and and extra 30kw up top. Makes for a way safer setup. It just annoys me that one must choose between a T25 .64 turbine housing and the next thing up is a T3 .82 with nothing in between. A T3 .82 divided housing for the 6258 through to 7670 would be just SO WINNING!

E&H Motors in NZ have just released results of their testing with a twin scroll GTX3076R versus a twin scroll EFR7670 on their 2litre STI track car - worth noting that these results are not "all in", they have a stronger motor which will be used for that in future. From what the owner/tuner says it seems the EFR is much nicer to drive, and it sounds a bit like the EFR was seeming more eager to keep making more power.

Dyno plots:

I think it was just that they were aiming for an EFR7670 from the start, and ended up getting a GTX3076R to get going because of the huge waits for getting an EFR - or something to that effect. The test wasn't to because they were doing a shoot out, more just a result of having both turbos.

I know they've had a twin scroll GT3582R as well, I might see if they ever tried that on the Subaru....

Seems the EFR turbos don't need E85 to make good numbers - another Kiwi lad had his RB30DET R32 GTR tuned running a .92a/r twin scroll EFR8374 today on BP Ultimate, 462kw @ hubs on 20psi... full boost by 3300rpm.

Not too shabby!

Nice!

If only using one of these turbos was realistic. Waiting forever and having a questionable lifespan is very off putting.

Not that Id be at all interested anymore, owning a T3 6boost now -_-

Very nice! For the SR20? What trubro is going on it?

The life span of them don't seem to be a problem since the foundry change, I actually know of a few people using them - a 550whp STI I know has been using a 7670 lately with no issue, an EVO track car over here has also been using an EFR8374 and it has been performing excellently

Yeap for my SR. My DET block is down at the machinist right now, im waiting for a call to tell me what size slugs to order.

Having done as much reading as possible into readily available options I couldnt go past a simple TD06. The FP 73HTA wheel apparently needs a bit of energy to be turned and isnt likely to be as responsive as the old 20g item (more or less making it useless for me as I want 270-300kw). I also found a number of resources from people saying they had owned 3071 and TD06 SR's and found the TD06 to be a lot better matched.

So yeah, logical deduction lead me back to a simple kando TD06. $560 later and its crackin.

Sorry peeps, back to BW EFR :)

I wouldn't have (don't think I did) ever suggest the 73HTA for yours anyway - I reckon a 68HTA would have been great. I also lean towards TD06-20G vs GT3071R as well. Shame BW aren't doing EFR6758s in T3 though, I reckon one of those on an SR20 would be mental.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
