here is one of the first 7163 results for the EWG vband housings. its an R35 GTR with 4.1L engine built entirely by SubZero (FR just helped with the turbos). timeslip attached -- watch the launch

EFRs look like great things but fitting long IWG versions to competition cars isn't the same as production ones - particularly if you don't want it to look obviously modified .

This sumbich got to fit 2 IWG efrs!!

I don't know much other than they are the smallest EFRs and appear flow more on paper than the 8374 if they were truly 1+1 which isn't realistic.

Not sure if the guy frequents this site. PPG helical dog, tomei stroker I know for sure. Tomei poncams but unsure of size.

That should shorten it nicely, and external gate specific, the way I like it. :)

I wonder if they plan to do split pulse Vband entry... That would be very trick.

Yup!!

Because I would LOVE to fit a 8374 to my car, but unfortunatly the turbo is too bulky... :(

Yeah that appears to be a problem with some of these EFRs . I can see Geoff and a few others thinking we get these TS IWG turbos to the masses and they want to bitch about packaging . I know they tried really hard to make these things work really well but I ah wonder if a bit more compromise with packaging would be a bit more acceptable to the fast road market . Shortening up those long IW T housings has to affect waste gate performance but would a little less still be streets ahead of the turbocharger competition ?

Hard to please everyone I know cheers A .

^ To be honest, I even have troubles with the EWG versions on evos...

Low mount the turbo dump pipe is too restrictive IMO, and top mount looks like ass.... (not to mention changes the weight distribution of road/race car).

tonba -- man up.. its not that hard to fit these in an evo, especially if you take the a/c out

discopotato - more often than not, the location and bracket for the actuator is the difficult piece to fit- not the length of the turbo. Full-Race has a few different WG brackets to suit many different fitments, that is the real key to making these work, knowing where to position the actuator in each application

^ come on Geoff..

These turbos are an engineers wet dream. But unfortunately, I haven't seen any real world results to show how effective they are. Sure, you have posted results, there are sierra sierra, nemo evo and tilton, but no real world stuff.

My car has A/C, its a street car, and it gets f**king hot in Australia so there is no way I'm getting rid of it. (Its not a race car)

I have seen some really restrictive downpipe designs to try and make these turbo fit in low-mount config. Which to me, kills off the gains that could be obtained. Not to mention having to notch engine mounts. Pain in the butt to fit. :(

I wonder if forward facing is an option? In that case, What I worry about, is running a small radiator..

Ahhhh, Ill find the perfect setup for me one day...

For now, my old FP Black will have to do..

Geoff has a 8374 0.92iwg in his Evo road car.......yeah it gets hot in Aussie, but it's just as hot if not hotter where he lives in Phoenix AZ!

I'm sure he will send you some specs if you ask.

Thanks mate.

I know and understand he runs that turbo. Been following it for a while. As I stated before, top mount just wouldn't work for me, especially if Im interested in more power (Ie 9180.

It still doesn't get around the fact it is a turbo with awkward and inconvenient packaging. I might just have to stick with a Forced Performance turbo, unless there are future options for different compressor / turbine housings...

You guys with your RB's are lucky, as you have much more room over us Evo owners...

One thing I haven't found yet is the suggested maximum angle of inclination. It would be much easier to fit if you could angle the sucker on a 45 degree in some situations, but obviously the drain would be compromised. What is the maximum angle you would suggest Geoff? Taking into account the car will be driving up hills also. :P

I am running my gtx on a 15 degree angle, leaning back in the engine bay to help with packaging on the VQ25det, and it works fine. But there would be a limit...

Does that take into account driving up a hill though? 20* plus say a 30* hill = 50 degrees... Bring on ceramic bearings that don't need lubrication, then we could vertically mount them. :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
