They are getting out. I'm a pleb and the 6258 GTR kit we bought off the shelf. no special favours etc. ordered and paid for it and it turned up a week later. I know the big frame stuff is a different story but they are getting there.

lol. they should be awesome.

Consider this. look at the EFR range and consider the 9180 flows 94lb/min. a single 6258 flows 44lb/min I would say it's not unreasonable to expect them to produce 80lb/min combined in a twin GTR set-up. that's 800hp of air.

the car they are going on has run 2530s/-5s and made the usual 350kw or so. it's also run GTRS/-10s and made the usual 400+ kw but with typical surge down low that's a pig to drive through (even on the track).

I would like to think these will be close to the -10 power but with close to -5 response. I wouldn't be disappointed if they make a little less than the -10s but without the surge down low and with fat midrange.

I'm not sure if anyone else has bought a set from full race for a GTR apart from the one in the US they tested on. so this may be the first 'retail' set that goes out the door.

hope to have them arrive next week.

The other turbo I got from BW/FR is here and has already been pipped up etc and should be running very, very soon. it's the big boy 9180. another mate of mine has a 8374 coming soon so it'll be interesting to compare the 3. in power terms it goes 8374 then twin 6258 then single 9180. I'm keen to see if that's how it plays out in real life and what kind of power/response compromise we get. the only difference really is the 9180 is on a 3L the other 2 are both 2.6.

What 9180 did you get housing wise? Still waiting on mine, paid Nov 13 2010. Quite depressing so far. I am fabbing a 321 stainless manifold and will need it to complete the manifold. Guess we'll see. At this stage I can still see it being a LONG way away. Which, quite frankly, doesn't impress me too much.

totenkopf. it's a 1.05 twin scroll (ext gate). yeah we ordered last year too. I know BW have had production issues and I guess want to make things right before filling orders. hopefully they are worth the wait (I think they will be). hope you get yours soon mate. :)

Scott and I had a little behind the scenes chat. We cool...cheers.gif

Correct! Common ground met.

All is fair in love and war. We got to learn and clarify a few things and I got to push a few buttons when all I originally wanted to say was the 6boost collectors are sexy.

I blame STATUS, that prick he stated it. :whistling:

Anyone want to have a stab at the projected RWKW of the SR flavor of the month EFR?

Imagine how much quicker it would be with a Vipec! :whistling:

But back OT, from what your saying Mr Baron, you guys are seeing exceptional low rpm performance from the big 9180, so much so you would be happy to see more lag with a larger turbo. So realistically for someone such as myself also running a 3litre but only aiming for 550rwhp with a power ceiling around 600rwhp the extra expense of say an 8374 over a traditional t4 ts gt35/s300sx doesn't seem worth it (if you follow my logic). Obviously in a forum pissing contest it's a no brainer, but on the racetrack...?

yeah I see your logic. I guess for a 3L that's already going to achieve the power and response you want with a more basic TS turbo then sure there is not a huge advantage in the EFR, but you can have your power goal and even better response wouldn't you want it? in a street car it will be noticeably faster? the other option these give then is have the same response but more power by going up a size in turbo.

I still think the kick arse GTR set-up will be these twin 6258s. but the singles make an impressive set-up and simplicity of a single (even a twin gate TS one) is something to consider too.

I know, It was a bit tongue in cheek....My bad.

Yeah, If I had ordered a twin kit I would be rolling now, I'm waiting for a 8374 T4 .92a/r IWG.

....But we have 8" of snow in Christchurch yesterday, So couldn't drive the car anyway! haha

Crazy weather eh? I can see snow on the hills around me right now and I am in Welly ffs. Wellington wind is bad enough without throwing ice into it.

Hope something shows up for you soon enough man, quite keen to see how you find it after previous combinations :)

yeah it doesn't look like final set-up and complete testing will be done before WTAC due to a few snags along the way. but once done I'm sure BW and FR will want to make the results public. we've never published any dyno sheets etc from the car before but the way it performs on track is a pretty fair indicator of it's performance. so for now it's still work in progress....

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
