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.

And a dyno plot- they dialled back the tune/boost curve a bit because they were running into issues with boost control with the internal wastegate, they will go back on the dyno when they think they've got that sorted... but for now, this is how the numbers look:

The password has finally been lifted on the Perrin blog's review of the 7163. Looks impressive:

I hope it comes out in twin scroll. I hope EVEN MORE that they bring out a smaller twin scroll than the T4 .92 for all B1 frame turbo's. Something like a divided T3 .82 would be ideal.

Someone should download that perrin site before they take it down. very informative, very cool.

for sure the 7163 is the pick of the bunch for the lower power bracket..

but i was a little heart broken when they overlayed the 3076R against it, sure the boost stood up earlier but the difference in power and torque wasnt amazing. disappointed there :(

I think I'm more shocked that the GTX3076, at 1.7bar only made 30rwhp more than a GT3076

Also are the EFR's using twin scroll over the GT's being single? Can't see it referenced anywhere (or the fuel)

0.63 (GT)vs 0.82 (GTX) turbine housings as well so not apples for apples but still not impressive.

the GTX .82 should have helped top end power over the GT's .63 if anything.

agree that was also a disappointing discovery. I wonder what would happen if Mick put a garden variety GT3071 in his and back to backed it at unigroup... now that would be interesting. weve been saying the GTX3071 seems to be the pick of the bunch, but i dont know of any well setup eflex tuned 3071s (on an RB25) to compare it to... so hmm.

Both Mick and I had our cars on the same dyno around the same time and my GT3076 was the better thing on 98ron.

With E85 his car blew past mine but I still believe he would have a fatter midrange with the GT3076.

Ultimately his car is the by far and away the best R33 I have driven once he went to pineapple juice but I was slightly disappointed with the GTX3071 on pump.

It's about 30 mins to the nearest E85 plus I would be on the edge with 550cc injectors and a PFC.

To make it worthwhile I would go the Link/ViPex, ethanol sensor and some bigger injectors but that is money better spent on 98ron.

correct me if Im wrong but your running a HKS lowmount T3 split pulse manifold with a T3 split pulse housing?

Micks is the OEM manifold with a .83 T3 open internal gate, which would make it a very difficult comparison to make IMO

Valuable info for any reader, normally when doing turbo selection reading i read all threads to get as much as I can. So the GT info isnt necessarily out of place here anyway.

Glad you made the comment re value between 3040 open and 3076 split.

Anyone heard if BW have their supply issues sorted out yet? I know from reading the suby forums back in April they were still having issues..

Im looking into either the new-ish 7163, or one of the medium frame brothers. I think (especially) the 7163 in IWG on a TS mani will be good for a "street" turbo.

its just the possible wait that is a little depressing :(

About the same as a 3076 it seems, there was decent testing done by perrin.

Boost response seemed a lot better on the EFR but power only stood up marginally earlier (weird). I would say that has to do with the motors ability to ingest the volume at that RPM. So a breathier motor potentially could get more out of it.

It is making 50-75hp more between 2500-3500 and peak torque about 500rpm earlier... Wouldn't make much difference on a track/drift/drag car but on the road it's a lot

True that it is a decent number of difference between them at those points, but the character of the unit is more or less the same.

The threshold is at roughly the same point which indicates to me that during full pelt driving they would feel roughly the same. You could say the difference could be less than whats expected between thrashing the car during the day or on a cold night.

OK, two things come to mind here -

1/ Its VERY consistantly reported that EFRs are very very responsive, a boost curve on a dyno plot does not show how a car drives at all - it just gives a general idea of things. We've talked at length about this, the responsiveness of EFR turbos do sometimes get sold short of their real world performance on dyno comparisons because of this fact

2/ On top of the above, you seriously call this a comparison an equivalent boost threshold??

Considering how much you backed things like 52trim GT3076R/GT3071R/GT2835/whatever when comparing with a 56trim GT3076R which in comparison immeasurably less lag - you make no sense.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
