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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
