Looks like they have changed the casting process now so he is actually right and the current ones are all going to have these new manky housings

Sorry, I re-read his post, makes sense... apologies Brad.

Just talked to Jon @ Full Race who also confirmed that BW have changed the manufacturing process on these to ramp up the production rate.

He did say that particular one in the bimmer forum thread above was the worst he has seen though.

Richard, are 6258s the largest twin you can fit in the engine? Im keen to try a set on my OS rb26/30 time attack r32. I don't mind whether it's internal or external gates but Im keeping with the twin for response.

front turbo is low and quite forward, rear turbo sits higher to allow it's intake to clear the front turbos dump.

pics just for you sweet heart.

Seeing as you guys are hanging for some results, not that it is overly relevant to you guys but will give you some idea. Were not leaning on it in any way shape or form, when my new motor is finished we will really see how it performs.

Stock Evo 5 Motor apart from

EFR7064 T4 1.05

HKS 274/278 Cams

Plazmaman Cooler

ID1000's

Aeromotive 340 Pump

Okada Projects Coils

Vipec ECU

Running on Caltex E-Flex

Nice! I'm hoping for boost earlier than that but I only really want/need 250rwkw so hopefully my smaller turbine housing, smaller cams, 160cc more capacity and higher comp engine will give me my target boost threshold of about 3000rpm. Fingers crossed.

I think for 250kw u have the wrong turbo, this thing will go 350 on my new motor. We could get boost on earlier as we havent touched the cams yet but ont he stock motor we dont want to put to much stress on it. New motor will be higher comp and mivec so will come on much sooner.

The problem is that the EFR 6758 is quite inefficient compared to the others, especially at low boost. Also the only turbine housing option is the T2 .64 which is too restrictive for my engine. I'm building a high compression, high flowing engine to run a big turbo at low boost. I could whack a 6258 on it and run 22psi but that's not the type of setup I want to run.

I plan to replace the 7064 with a 7163 with the divided 0.80 housing after a year or so.

fair enough, yea the 7163 looks the goods, I wonder if it could make it to 380.... I think I will be moving up to a 7670 on my new engine as I want to turn it to 9500 and I think the 7064 will struggle to hold 28-30psi at that kind of rpm, even the 7670 might struggle, maybe an 8374 will be on the cards haha.

Crikey.....I do prefer the look of my investment cast 8374 housing, however I am concidering going to a 1.06a/r rear in the future:(. Oh well, if it doesn't hurt performance, so be it.

I just got mine and mine is just as bad as the one in the pics including the far off-centre bolt holes. I've been waiting so long that I'm just going to fill in one side on the turbine entry to make it smaller and symmetrical because I'll be blocking the internal gate anyway so may as well block it using a couple of bits of stainless plate to better direct air into the housing.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
