and i forgot to give a Shout out to Geoff at Full-Race for answering any of the questions i had and reply back to quickly :D

hello sir!! Very nice to see your thread, looks like things are working well for you. When we first spoke, your requirement was 400KW with fast spool, so I specced the Borg Warner 83-75 w/ flat tip turbine wheel and .91 a/r. This is an excellent match to your requirement - but as you found when you went to turn the boost up it did not make more power. This is (duh) becuase you will need a larger compressor wheel and/or higher flowing turbine side (cupped tip and/or larger AR housing would be a good starting point).

If you wish make more power I am more than happy to help. You can either change your turbos' housings or change to a different supercore (turbo less turbine housing) which would allow you to use the existing turbine housing and plumbing, just changing the rotors.. There are many solutions, but I do not think the preicision will be the end all solution. up to you guys of course!

Thanks for the reply Geoff, as you stated when we first spoke I was just looking to make the 400rwkw and as shown, the turbo you recommended did the job with the kind of response I was looking for..

But you know how it is, always power hungry :D

Ideally I would love to have a turbo just as responsive but able to take some more boost and not flatten out up the top like mine currently does. Like you said I could achieve more power by upgrading either the housings or core..

What new bits of gear does BW have that will allow me to make an easy change over while making more top and and keeping the response if possible..

Btw I love the sound of the BW and would like to keep that unique sound as well :D

i will have results in a month or some for the borgwarner s362 fmw which will be interested shuld get a little more up top with same response, car is currently get a respray then just needs a tune :) will be on a 3L tho

Good stuff Jack, should be intersting to see the results, too bad its on a 3L though.. will make a response comparsion hard to gauge haha

what sort of power are you expecting from it?

There are 4 options of varying work to consider for your 60mm compressor / flat tip 75mm turbine / 0.91 ar housing:

a) turbine housing swap to 1.00 a/r - this will allow you make another 30-40kw at the top end, losing only 100rpm spool, very simple easy and fast to do

b) turbine wheel swap to cupped tip - on the .91 a/r this will allow you to make ~30-40kw more, losing only 100rpm spool in the midrange. I did a test on a friends supra not too long ago if youd like to see. Slightly more work than a housing swap but not much. FYI BW's airwerks turbos are "component" balanced, meaning the turbine wheel is balanced independantly of the compressor wheel. This allows service in the field : you can take the turbo apart, remove the turbine wheel and install the different turbine wheel - not necessary to balance.

c) the compressor wheel will probably be out of breath around ~450kw so if you want more than that it would be wise to step up to in compressor wheel size. The S300SX 9180 is a 66mm inducer thats VERY impressive - but will spool later. For an RB30 i think that is the S300SX of choice.

d) EFR 8374 1.05 is what i believe the perfect single turbo for an RB26. I ran all the S300 turbos on my RB26 for a while then when i switched to the EFR i got the spool of the smallest S300 with the powerband of the big one, not to mention the sound is intoxicating. This to me is my best setup ive run in the last 7 years. Obviously these turbos arent cheap and there is still a wait on the external WG versions (internal gate twinscroll 8374s are shipping regularly at the moment) but i do think that if you are looking for the fastest response and 500kw power target, this would do the job better than any other turbo Im aware of

i will have results in a month or some for the borgwarner s362 fmw which will be interested shuld get a little more up top with same response, car is currently get a respray then just needs a tune :) will be on a 3L tho

the FMW S300 is a great turbo - very similar to the EFR 8374 in terms of compressor flow. Which turbine wheel and housing did you go with? FYI the larger displacement 3L engine would typically benefit from more compressor if youre going to really push it so I typically recommend the larger S300SX 9180 with .91 a/r. of course if you want the response the FMW will do it

So if it was between option a) and b), option 1 would be the best option as its a bit less stuffing around and it would essentially yield the same result, that correct?

I would be very interested to see the supra result if you would like to post it up :D

Obviously the external gate EFR 83/74 would be the best option for my set up?

How much longer would it be until they are available?

Will it line up with my current set up ( mostly concerned about the dump pipe lining up)

How much to purchase and get it to Australia

Cheers

Geoff,

Do you think with a 2.8 litre I would be able to get away with using a bigger rear housing and cupped tip on the S300SX FMW and have similar response to Joe's ?

Man I reckon you would have better response and make more power hey, as long as your running E85 and the rest of your setup is in check.

The 2.8 makes a big difference!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
