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?

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.

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.

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

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

    • 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
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
