i think the 7163 is a bit small for a high boost rb26, as it can be overspun. Same with 7670. however they both provide excellent spool and response so if you use a shaft speed sensor to keep things in check you could be very happy with either on an RB26 - just be prepared to taper the boost up top. The 8374 comes on strong around 3300-3400rpm - so it might be bigger than you like, but i really enjoy it on the RB26 (its one of my all time favorite turbo/engine combinations, so much fun to drive). I am putting the 8374 0.92 back on my RB26 in a couple weeks, after i put the 7163 on my evo

Geoff if you get a chance chuck up the graph for the 26 and 8374...

One day when I'm feeling rich I might do the swap from my 6262

I second lol !! However, my next purchase is planned within the month ( depending if my turbos are actually shot or not)

With the internal gated single, say an 8374, do you just use the external gated twin scroll manifold and just block the two gate runners off? I can't see a internally gated option for the manifold.

The other day i saw the McLarens V8 engines they are using in their MP4 & P1. Intersting to note the turbos look a hell of a lot like internal gate EFR turbos hanging off the manifolds

Funny thing is I have a pic in a book at home of a Pontiac Solstice turbo setup (I think?) which featured a twin scroll internally gated turbo with an integrated BOV in the compressor cover (I got the book before EFRs existed)... hard to say what else uses them, or similar ideas, but I found it really interesting.

^ Are those factory turbos manufactured by Borg Warner by any chance?

**EDIT**

After a little bit of research, the turbos for the McLaren M838T engine are sourced from MHI

I can't remember specifically, I just recall the EFRs looking familiar when I first saw them and then later remembering how interesting the ones in the book looked. When I get home tonight I'll try and remember to look it up and maybe post a pic

I don't know of any reliable OEM ones yet, so I am guessing it's for the same kinds of reasons. The late model Porsches are frequently going back for warranty claims, afaik.

Full race have an iwg manifold option

Though id go the 1.05 rear twin ewg option on your car thats the setup I run and I can only imagine with the 2.8L it would be even better :)

I initially though they were airwerks due to the fact the FMW compressor wheels are apparently the same wheels as EFRs.

But then I saw the pic of what they actually run, which looks to be a custom casting.

So can we buy these goddamn things or what??? Lol... particularly if we can get it with the 1.45A/R turbine housing.

EFR 9180 1.05 a/r is in stock, the 1.45 a/r starts shipping in 1-2 weeks.. making progress :)

you can block the WG ports off or use a non-wastegated manifold. here is our RB26 IWG efr turbo manifold:

the twin wastegates are the call for maximum performance. I hope you are happy with the setup!

So which one should provide a better spool the IWG 0.92 or the EWG 1.05 ? or wastegate don't really affect spool up, only boost control ?

the smaller a/r will usually spool the turbo quicker.. as long as the wastegate doesnt crack open prematurely it wont affect spool. The solution is to use a stiff WG spring. turbosmart IWG has been popular lately becuase it uses the same springs as their EWG (up to 3)

i believe BW made the turbos for that saturn skyy/pontiac solstice platform. as well as the cobalt. And the 2011-2012 EcoBoost F150, and 2012+ Focus ST EcoBoost, Fusion, etc.. audi and volvo they all used that style Compressor recirc valve. It works well

Yes I know you can buy housing separately, it would be nice if you can just buy one direct from BW or even from a Indy team???

indy teams now run twin EFR7163 only. there may be some used 9180s floating around, but keep in mind it was not in a ported shroud housing so actually the standard EFR9180 compressor housing will slightly outperform the indy 9180 - given the same turbine housing A/R

What is the reason for switching to the twins?

I would have thought the opposite as the surge slots bypass air to avoid surge hence efficiency losses.

Any plans to bring the mixed flow turbine wheel into other sizes apart from the 7163? If so, what would be the better ass end. The open scroll mixed flow or the twin scroll?

Also very interested in this.

Also interested if BW are looking at a 64mm turbo to fit between their 8374 and 9180?

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
