Sounds pretty close to mine (470kw, 20psi)...much the same spec but it is running E85 where as I'm only using 98.

Think I could maybe manage 500kw on E85, but after that I'm sure I would be seriously over speeding the 8374.

Lol i like the -9's on my old mans car but the 8374 is a good 600rpm more responsive from my experience :)

I have full boost before 3800 very happy with them won't change unless I want more power but 350kw is fine for me

What if you could have full boost at 3300rpm and make another 120kw on top of that? :)

Then I have other issues with longevity of parts as I track the shit out of my car, hence why I'm not fussed to go over 400kw

What can you do to that setup to optimise it?

The stock manifolds are fine, we both use them, I believe it ran pods as it was a 32. The exhaust wasn't small. It's pretty much a no expense spared car.

It was simply take the -5's off and put the EFR on. Belts it every way possible. Low end grunt, too end power, comes on earlier and back on sooner between gears.

If you could do a back to back between twin EFR's and the single to see the difference, I think that would be interesting but comparing it to what realistically is dinosaur twins (-9's,-5's,2530's,RS's, the trust things) the EFR would belt the shit out of them. This car that I went in yesterday was cracking gates at 4200 on a nugget 2.6 in second gear. -9's wouldn't do that yet the 8374 would supply Atleast another 100 kw of grunt. Between gear, forget it. It was like the gates shut at all. As soon as the clutch was let back out, it was making a anti social noise again.

Hey don't call the 26 a nugget!

Fair enough, I only take the car out to the track about three times a year and lunched the front diff one of the last times it went out......have since now put a Quaife ATB in it and have been out to the track with no problems other than my shit driving! Haha

.....I haven't run it on anything but 98, so the 470kw is on 98 :)

Thats great, 470kw on 98, easily over 500kw on E85 I would imagine :/

I am hoping for something similar, fully spooled around 3500rpm and 400awkw ish and I will be a happy camper :)

Update:

Engine is ready

Some pics

Nitto I beam rods and custom pistons with a higher pin to improve rod to stroke ratio

Also some new tein shockies, off to race pace for revalvimg, thanks to Aaron for import monster for sourcing

Just a matter of putting the engine in and fixing small bits and peices Pete

The pistons cost me a bloody fortune as they are a custom one off.

I was supposed to go to Perth next week for work but that trips been cancelled, might have it running by the end of the month :D

all good, just get your finger out, if I cannot drive mine, I can at least get some enjoyment out of seeing yours finished and that big stupid grin on your mush :)

So you had the pistons made special for your car, what is the difference, the pin placement ?

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
