Jeff, any 76mm sx-e in t4? they seem hard to get...

hi, we have good stock of SXE turbos. shoot me an email with exactly what youre looking for and i can help (76mm inducer or exducer). thanks

@harris racing, good start! like the others have said, check your iwg spring rate and tension. there is defintely room to be had with tweaks

You're running internal gate? Do you mean whether you get the soft, medium or hard spring in the internal actuator?

I have the medium cannister for now since I'm going to be strictly pump gas and wanted to tune the bottom of the map for road course racing (potentially on lower boost).

He's talking about setting the tension on the wastegate cannister by turning the nut in and out to tighten the wastegate spring. The procedure is in the BW EFR manual and on Full Race's site. I actually forgot that I ZERO'd the boost tables for break in so this is totally on the wastegate spring with boost signal to it right now. I will set the boost today or tomorrow and get it to spool faster. Haltech boost control is pretty dang detailed. There is DEFINITELY more spool in this thing I assure you.

I think I defaulted to 2 or 3 turns (wrote it down in my notebook at the shop), just for breaking in the engine. It did creep to about 11 psi the other night at 7500 rpms but again I need to check boost settings. STAY TUNED! But the turbo is hyper responsive...I LOVE IT.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone have or looked at bw sxe series turbos?

Compressor Specifications

Compressor Type: Forged-Milled Wheel (FMW) Extended Tip

Compressor Wheel OD (exducer): 83mm

Compressor Wheel Inducer: 61.5mm

Max Flow Rate: 75 lb/min

Compressor Housing Connections:

Inlet: 4.0" Hose Coupler

Outlet: 2.5" Hose Coupler

Turbine Specifications

Turbine Type: Inconel S300SX Turbine Wheel

Turbine Wheel OD: 76mm

Rear housing twin scroll .91

Just looking for any feed back

Thanks guys

It should compare very closely to the 8374 EFR with slightly less response and slightly less power since it has the same compressor wheel, but will have less response and slightly less power due to the exhaust turbine differences and oil-only journal bearing (which really isn't that big of a deal to most anyway).

On pumpgas it would likely be a perfect turbo choice for a stock displacement or drop-in camshaft RB26. And for the money ($760 USD!)...wow it's got to be one of the best turbos on the market especially if you have the turbo manifold and wastegate already. Also if used on a stock displacement RB26 I would stick with the .91 twin scroll housing for better boost threshold.

^^mostly agree with Harris Racing. bang for the buck, nothing can touch these SXE turbos. Keep in mind this turbo he's asking about has a 76mm turbine wheel. this is slightly larger than the EFR8374 which uses a 74mm turbine wheel. As a result the SXE may exhibit reduced emap in exchange for the later spool and response time

Got my first drive in a mates RB30 8374/1.05 tonight. What an absolute BEAST of a turbo. Half throttle between gears and its INSTANTLY back on. This car had -5's on it previously and there is NOOOOOO COMPARISON in ANY way.

This once again reinforces what the guys with EFR's talk about.

You sir are the bearer of bad news. I don't want to hear this

I ended up buying another 240z today with a LS1 in it hahahaha. GTR and all the head parts I just purchased are gonna be put on the back burner again.

Totally. I still haven't touched my timing maps yet and I'm still on only 10 psi boost and the turbo just wants to spool. I can leave it in 5th and pass anyone on the highway that I need to (of course 75mph is somewhere around 3k). Drivability is truly incredible I'll get videos of inside the car later today hopefully.

Paul you've changed!

Clearly not a fan of response anymore?

EVERY GTR owner knows you go twins for response! :P

While I haven't driven an EFR RB engine (yet) we've installed one on my friend's FD with stock ports and all bolt ons. . .It's on a base tune right now with 8 psi and it's insane at how quick it spools. . .no delay whatsoever. . .My FD is getting the 9174 treatment in a couple of weeks :D

How does it compare to mine? Guess you worked out the oil issues

I haven't driven yours. I only used no more than 50% throttle and no more than 5500 RPM absolute tops.

It's imediately back on pipe. Makes the precisions between gears seem like a mid 90's turbo.

A dyno sheet won't give you a good idea of how it goes about its thing. That's what every owner of an EFR owner talks about.

    • 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?
