I was just recently emailing you and Jon i ended up finding a 1.05 locally however i still need to order the manifold and gates.

what's the lowest boost/power the 38's would be without creeping?

Am chasing somewhere around 700hp however being able to turn the wick down a little would be good.

Also on the gate springs, stock is .5bar does this mean minimum boost will be 1 bar? since there is two gates?

Hi all!   I've not really been active on this forum for some time and although I lurk in to read bits and pieces of interest I don't really think of this as a forum I'm part of but I once was and I di

Haha - yeah it could use some more boost Simon..  I'm sorry I've not put up Motec logs in the past for those who've wanted to see. Back at the time I did a bit of comparing because I did more or

mr skidz, your posts are coming off as trolling at this point.  do EFR people go into precision threads and talk about how great their mates setup is, but wont give any details??  whilst complaining t

glad to hear you found an external-WG EFR turbo locally - we only have the EFR Internal-WG models in stock right now. On my RB26 i was running 8374 1.05 a/r with twin 38mm, 1 bar springs. on WG pressure only no problem holding a steady 17psi and with BCSV duty cycle at 100% i ran it to 32-33psi for 704whp (through a high flow cat). here is a short video:

Nope, if each gate cracks at around .5bar then you just have 38mm x2 opening at .5bar

correct - 0.5 bar is 0.5 bar whether there is 1 or 2 wastegates (or more)

I would be surprised if they could hold that turbo at .5bar though :)

i have not seen any severe boost creeping EFR turbos, especially good to see on the internal WG variants!

Haltech recommended 220-VP-TURBORPM which has vnet module + sensor but the extra sensor won't be needed.

I searched around and found these 2 v-net modules may work

-230-VM-USM

-230-VM-TURBO SPEED MODULE (USE WITH 800-SS-SPEED)

Has anyone tried these?

Has anyone wired up the turbo speed sensor yet?

I have a Racepak IQ3 dash and wonder if anyone know what module I will need for the turbo speed sensor.

Thanks in advance

I am not a wiring expert, but i think you may need this little box: http://www.full-race.com/store/efr-turbo-accessories/road-rage-gages-tss-turbo-speed-scaler-2.html

How do you guys running the EFR turbos find the boost recoveries between shifts compaired to similar turbos in the garrett range??

;)

Hi Geoff , is the production EFR 7163 out yet ? I think quite a few are looking forward to this one ..

Is there enough evidence to suggest the EFR7163 was a successful concept? I've not seen enough testing to draw an opinion on it, and if it is released does that mean it will replace the 7064? Having both seems strange

Lol both within 1mm OD. Its probably a revision as 1mm on a comp wheel normally won't change much. It likely was done to remove confusion for the older model and anyone who ended up with one.

More signs of afterthought changes rather than pure bred success.

Um no , the EFR 7163 will be the largest of the small series EFRs and it uses a different style of turbine - called mixed flow or something of that nature .

I believe the compressor and turbine housings will be the same as it's three smaller brothers but the wheels are different . There are a couple of prototypes floating around for development but the production units are due out very soon .

This is a link to Fullrace and shows a table of the EFR range , the new EFR7163 will be next after the 500 hp 6758 in that table and its aimed at making a broad spread of power in a compact size for that power range . You'd think same or better response/power than the bulkier 7064 otherwise why would they bother ?

It's just a shame there is no "T3" flanged twin scroll IW turbine housing for them .

Geoff can tell you more about them , cheers Adrian .

Let us know how you get on with this, I have a EFR with the turbo speed sensor and a IQ3 Display Dash, I've got the Speed Sensor wired to the ViPec but it would be nice to display it.

P.S, Have you managed to get Speed and Odo running on your IQ3, or do you have a IQ3 Logger Dash?

I know of someone that tuned a car with a 6758 and really liked it , they also I think played with a prototype 7163 and it was good as well . I'm told EFRs are generally wide ranging things and I believe they are aiming at compact though they don't look that compact to me turbine housing wise . I think it's difficult to make IW particularly TS IW turbine housings reasonably short and have the waste paths flow well enough . Garrett and Mitsubishi have done it but not with clockwise rotation "T3" flanged turbos .

Sadly there is a market for T3 flanged TS IW turbine housings but not much is being done about it .

Hate to say it but I think single scroll and VATN will be the reality once the moving vane assembly becomes reliable on petrol engines .

Meanwhile I am interested in EFR 7163s but I don't see one on my car .

Really? What makes you think this?

The R33 is one of the only cars that comes to mind which has a T3 split pulse design and it requires machine work to make it even work as described. Its missing a fairly large part of the splitter toward the turbine entry, and I do not think Nissan ever intended it to have a split pulse purpose but rather just good flow into the turbine housing.

Furthermore, I see a T3 twin scroll as nothing but a hindrance for manifold production, as everything gets smaller and harder to work with 6 pipes going into 2 tiny tubes.

Am unsure there is a market as you say. Cannot help but sense some form of motive in play.

A .

BW's ETA last year at SEMA and PRI was Q3 2013... we will see what happens but it sounds like sept (maybe? lol). I know everyone hates waiting but the EFR supply is improving. We're seeing product come in, 8374 twinscroll iwg, t3 iwg, and some 9180s coming through also. Twin RB guys 6258 and 6758 are popular but arriving also

the 7163 is the largest of the B1 frame turbos and will eventually be available in vband inlet/outlet singlescroll and 0.80 a/r T4 twinscroll configuration. The initial 7163 prototypes were all excellent performers and the production units underwent further development and improvements. it is only a 2.5" inlet and 2" outlet so its not for everyone, but it does have some unique features

the 7064 is the smallest of the B2 frame turbos, and available as t4 twinscroll or t3 singlescroll. I agree there is some overlap here but both are excellent turbos and serve different levels of exhaust flow... For engines that needs more turbine flow this 7064 does that (64mm turbine and 0.92 or 1.05 a/r). We have a professional RB25 drift competitor in the us doing great on that turbo.

I believe the compressor and turbine housings will be the same as it's three smaller brothers but the wheels are different . There are a couple of prototypes floating around for development but the production units are due out very soon .

the idea of the 7163 was to make max powerband in the smallest possible package size. The mixed flow turbine wheel is able to acheive this goal nicely. Sorry i do not have any specs for public consumption yet, you can be sure we will post online once they're available

It's just a shame there is no "T3" flanged twin scroll IW turbine housing for them .

ive been running Full-Race for 11 years now, youre the only person whos ever asked for more T3 twinscroll housings ;>

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      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.
