I'm sure a mate would do it for a slab of beer. Some bloke does them on here for $100 exchange.

It most Definately does make a difference. Plenty of info on the net about it.

While we are on the topic of exhausts. I've got hks gt-ss (-9's) turbos going in atm with hks dumps.

before you go any further get rid of the HKS dump pipes and go to an open belmouth design, due to the design of the hks pipes they are a pretty major retraction

Yeah I have read the topics relating to the mod, makes sense why it works so well. Anyone in Melbourne?

It was a very stupid design from Nissan. A little bit more thought would have gone a long way, but I Spose it worked well for it's intended purpose of 300 hp - give or take.

If you want response and internal gate then maybe a EFR8374 might be the "right" answer?!?

I know that my 6262 is better down low and up top that -5s so the EFR8374 should be even better with response and also be able to make more power than the low mounts.

For reference here is a 6262 vs -5s with similar specs on same dyno (6262 running more boost)

I see that the new turbo tech is good but some people have a budget want around the 400kw mark and do not want to change front pip manifold, dump pipe, intercooler pipes, Intercooler and BOV.

You still can get good results and more than enough power and response with -5's without having to change to a single turbo.

that is what i honestly think and achieved with my build.

See this makes me sick in the pit of my stomach :) I love my singles, but the other day I was even pulled over in my daily BMW so the plan for the R32 is get it engineered with an RB26 and low mount twins. :( All so I can continue to enjoy it as a fun club-street car for years to come...and be slower. :(

Well, from Matty James-Wallace' back to back between the -5's and the internal gate 8374 it's night and day. Comes on 5-700 rpm earlier than the -5's. I'd believe it too after having the pleasure of experiencing a GTR with an EFR on it too.

Yeah I've been in Matt's car and it's impressive. Hard to judge being a 3.0L vs my 2.6L, actually next time I'm at the dyno I'll try and grab and overlay.

My expectation is a EFR8474 would be a few hundred rpm earlier than mine any only miss out on a little bit top end on same capacity motor.

That would be good for an overlay.

Interesting you say that about the top end. The 8374 has 62.6 mm inducer and 83 mm exducer compared to the 6262 of 62 mm in and 82 ex. I realize its a bit more complicated than that but food for thought as thr EFR is has a bigger front fan on both accounts.

The right sized single could certainly come on earlier than twins because you have 6cyls driving one medium exhaust exhaust wheel. On twins you effectively cut the engine in half to drive two smallish to medium exhaust wheels, this is what drives the lag profile.

Also before you go and buy random parts talk to a workshop in person and give them the problem statement. This might save you a few $k in parts only to find it does nothing to shift the boost profile where you expect it, ie I think you expect a 600rpm+ shift in boost profile from those parts, I'm not convinced they would get anywhere near that amount of change in response.

Would be curious as to where GTX2860/63s (modified for OEM fitment) fit in the mix.

They should be an improvement over normal -5s, but enough to give the EFR8374 a run for it's money? Maybe not.

Issue is, who i going to do the back to back. Its alot of coin tied up in all those parts :(.

If only a company makes some steam pipe manifolds... everyone makes that stainless balla manifolds that only a few can afford...

If like to see either EFR6758s or PTE5130s as a true bolton for the RB26 so the small twins can enjoy some of the tech the big singles have been getting :(

Manifolds are a drop in the ocean really.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
