Hi Geoff,

I noticed there's a new rear for the 6258's. Has there been any testing done against the original .64 rear ??

Would be interested to hear the resulting differences between the two...

(is it wrong to say I'm getting bored with only 500kw..??) :rofl2:


lol :ban: - in all seriousness, the singles have their place (got one on my car) but twin EFRs are next-level

hey John, have not done any back to back 0.64 vs 0.85 on an RB26 yet. built RB26's seem to prefer larger rear housings (within reason) so this is something brett was planning to do on his R34 in the next couple of months. Most of our higher power RB customers seem to go with the 6758 and 7163

it appears it was done in 3rd.. could an 8500rpm readline be correct? that means spooling (10psi) around 4500 and full boost (27psi) at 5800rpm

We typically see 1bar / 15psi around 3500rpm on 2.6L engines with the 8374. I expect we'd be flamed if our "response" based 62mm single turbo was spooling that late on an RB with vcam (10psi @4500)

Chuck up your graph again mate?

What pressure are you running to net 500 kW?

That's a fantastic result then, I was just having trouble reconciling the speed axis on that to RPM mathematically...

an EFR8374 is definately on the cards for me in the next year or so. Having Matchbot and all the turbo maps available is definitely a huge plus for the Borg. I can't make an educated decision on a 6262. its just "yea mate they're good for an RB26"..

I'm yet to stretch out my 2530s on E85, but I can't see them being as good.

This goes back a few years now, I don't have a recent one saved anywhere as the result is always similar.

30spi dropping off, the larger rear housings might just be worth a try..

Alternatively now that I have my chassis all sorted (and bank account drained) I can probably look to go up to bigger twins or large single as I'm confident the car will now handle the extra power.

I too am curious how the .64 and .85 compare in general. I have the .64 and would consider .85 if I didn't get enough out of the .64 but going with 6758 or 7163 twins sounds nuts.

too late to convert for me now.

i like 0.64 for street cars, but im into spool, torque and power band (im an engineering nerd). for a real race car that has a racing transmission and chassis, spool is not as important as outright power. 7163 appears to be slightly more surge resistant than 6758 so that is a plus for 7163 twin installs.

great to hear you like the matchbot and data that is provided! i continue to learn all the time using that tool

swapping to stiffer IWG actuators on your existing 6258s may help carry boost in the higher RPM. turbosmart makes a quality actuator, just be aware it has less stroke than the standard BW and only 2mm preload is appropriate.

moving up to twin 7163s is worth consideration if you have the engine/displacement/head and really want to handle more power - its a direct fit to your 6258 install

So a 7670 would be sufficient to get at 600hp on e85 then?

7670 is really a 530-550hp turbo. For a true 600hp the EFR 8374 is the call. Internal WG with a stiff actuator gets it done nicely on E85 and a simple setup

So on the topic of the efr wastegates I've been hearing more feedback from local tuners who struggle to have no boost creep or have unstable boost at whatever Desired setting and blade the efr wg. The builder/tuner is now pushing to change to the turbo smart actuators stating that they are just right. Why isn't anyone else reporting these issues? Also looks like it's a very tight fit fit with the efr actuators, will the turbosmart fit twins on the gtr?

As for turbo selection, I wasn't going after big power but my build took a few turns which is why I asked about the larger housings. I am after the low and mid range power.... I did not select the cams.

I run:

Tomei 2.8 short block (n1)

Tomei +1mm valves along with all their head upgrades and 290 deg 11.5mm lift cams

Ppg 1-5 helidog gear box and so on

So obviously it's too late to try and sell my turbos in favor of larger ones (hough they are new, people rarely buy 2 efrs at once) but I'm also not after huge power. So I should be OK with the smaller 6258 then...

I'd be happy with 600whp.

i believe 6258 0.64 is probably the perfect choice for you. Im running these turbos as twins on my current 3.5L v6 project. The turbosmart actuators will fit just fine.

We've seen excellent results with the OEM borgwarner stiff wastegate actuators -- up to 28psi. This is how borgwarner designed them and it works quite well. The original intent was to release a stiffer "higher boost actuator" that would go to 40psi. however the turbosmart options works very well and bw chose to focus on some other alternatives you may see at sema this year.

for more IWG control or for boost levels far beyond 28psi then the turbosmarts are an excellent choice. I personally worked with Jon at BW and we used alicat scientific equipment to provide turbosmart with our input on how to tweak and refine the IWG dual port before public release. They took our input into consideration and produced a nice quality gate. it is not at all mandatory, but it does have its place in the market

That's a fantastic result then, I was just having trouble reconciling the speed axis on that to RPM mathematically...

I'm yet to stretch out my 2530s on E85, but I can't see them being as good.

My turbo manifold shipped today. I should have results of a pretty stout stroker 2.75L with ported head, +.5mm valves, springs, cams, hypertune V2, etc shortly on a 6boost manifold and 8374 EFR with .92 IWG setup.

I'd say I should have dyno results within 2 months max. I have had the "two steps forward, one back" constantly on my project so it's taken me forever waiting on new parts and fabbing stuff.

I never had issues with boost control on my T4 IWG 7163. Boost was always easy to control, but the tuner and I went for a creeping boost curve to give a nice powerband.

This is a 9.5:1 compression sr20vet (still 2L) by the way. Intake cam was advanced 4 cam degrees and the exhaust retarded 1 or 2. I will go again for a retune with +2 intake and - 1 exhaust which should bump power up a bit. I'll also fab up a 3.5" down/front pipe.

This dyno reads pretty low compared to most in Sydney. Slight dip in the power curve was because of a slight misfire. It made a few extra KW in a later pull (346kw) but i'm pretty happy with how it drives considering it makes this much power. The tuner was just so impressed and said this was way ahead of a normal sr22det with a gt3076r he tuned.

Geoff you mean 2 boost controllers and 2 waste gates... right? Not 1 and 2?

Each turbo has its own solenoid is what I was told when I bought the twins, not 1 solenoid that splits to 2 turbos...

Edited by NismoSTune

No, two boost controllers will give instability as the integrals will fight each other. One solenoid goes to the two actuators. They should have the same preload so their opening characteristics are the same. Usually you wind up an air compressor regulator and make sure they move in unison.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
