Hi Geoff,

Which would spool better on a 2.8 (full Tomei 2.734 engine) relating to the EFR8374

1/ TS T4 0.92 IWG with TS T4 manifold or

2/ SS T3 0.83 IWG with TS T3 manifold

Presently have Garrett 5s and 9.0:1 compression 260/10.25 procams that runs sweet no surge shuffle what so ever and is quite responsive, just chasing more of it haaa need it more to the left, higher and flatter ! Only have high octane and no syrup where I live.

There are not to many graphs around and the ones I have seen do not seem to come on boost any better than my current setup.

Been through this blog a few times and seen the blue R34 gtr on your website that would be close to mine but you are not showing a decent graph.

I hear though that the transient response is real good.

I use my car mainly on the street and winding hills where I live so enjoy good response and also take it to Suzuka around 3 times a year.

Overrated mate save your money. Your response looks better than an 8374 for sure.

I have never seen a convincing dyno chart for and rb26 or 28 yet even though these things have been out forever.

Will be interesting to see piggazis and Harrisracings when they eventually post a chart.

The thing is efr's on the dyno don't show up there driving experience. Throttle response is night and day different, power before the spool zone is very different, part throttle boost is again much better. You have to drive an EFR equipped car to understand. They just want to spool all the time. I can get 5psi on my little 2ltr WRX at idle just by retarding the timing from 15 to 5 degrees. In the same vein there is a reason why a heap of OEM cars have a low rotational mass ceramic turbine, also why a lot of new OEM cars now use Borg Warner technology, A45 AMG for instance.

if swapping only manifold and turbine housing - Twinscroll T4 will spool better when properly implemented. I am generally not a fan of SS T3 for most inline 6 applications. for a street/winding hills setup and occasional Suzuka trip the 8374 could work very well as could 9174 if you wanted a bit more top end power or bragging rights dyno sheet. Have you considered twin EFR6258? that is a great setup also, here is a recent chart from a customer build:

The more I read about these EFR turbo's the more I need to have one. If they made either the 6758 or 7163 in T3 and external waste gate, I'd be upgrading my HKS GT-RS in a heart beat.

the 6758 and 7163 are both available in vband inlet, external WG config. The turbine housings are stainless steel its easy to weld a T3 flange over the Vband inlet. I posted a photo of this somewhere in this thread if you need me to dig it up. these will make a GT-RS seem like a dinosaur

experience driving an EFR behind-the-wheel is the only way to truly understand how everything works together. People naturally want to measure everything and compare turbos for pissing contests or advertising purposes... and when the only tool you have to do that is a steady-state WOT dyno, the good stuff can be lost. there are many things in life where a chart or an explanation over the internet can not do justice

it is easy to look at dyno charts, and go on forums where the dyno chart is what matters... outside of forums there is an entire world of racing that does not care about dyno charts. feel free to do some digging:

Hi Geoff,

I definitely prefer the single over the double so most likely will get the 8374/0.92 IWG. Like the simplicity.

1 question Geoff, do you do a downpipe for that turbo to go to a standard position Cat ( r33 gtr) obviously using your manifold.

Do all my own installations at home but not so good at making downpipes. that would be cool if that is possible.

Cheers Mike

Geoff,

Can you provide a v-band EFR turbo already modded to T3?

Which in your opinion is a better replacement for the HKS GT-RS, the 6758 or the 7163? I don't want a less responsive turbo, but the 6758 doesn't look like that much more power than the GT-RS.

Thanks

Contact Nisspeed. James has made a beautiful t25 to T3 adaptor.

That turbo looks like it is going to rest on the right side when the engine shifts around.

The picture makes it look like that but there is about 1.75" gap. Can get 17psi just leaning on the OEM stall convertor (c34 Stagea). Lag was obviously a concern with the heavy auto.

Hi Geoff, Have you had any results with the EFR 9174 hybrids? i've read the spool performance is only 50-100rpm down on a 8374 but your compressor efficiency moves up the revs a fair bit.

also, i remember seeing spool diverter valve a while ago. is there any plans for Borg Warner to release it for the larger frame exhaust housings?

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
