Interesting to see how that goes. Have heard of people having extreme EGT problems with high comp

Prob needs to be factored in with cam duration and a decent rear housing!

My r32 is about to get a rebuild. Will be going the precision rout. Either 6266 or 6466. More likely the later. Either way, will post results in the future for some comparisons. Chasing 500awkw+. Awesome thread. Cheers gents.

Curious. This is a thread about Borg Warner EFRs and just had a quick skim through and you don't have appeared to have made any previous comments in here so to make give it some current and future context can you share why you chose it relevant to this thread that you post that you have decided to buy turbo which has nothing to do with this thread and how it might pertain to this? Do you intend on later upgrading to an EFR?

Hi,

How much is spool difference between 8376 and 8375 with the same hotside like .91 ar ? +- :P

Maybe some one compare 8376 with another one?

Edited by Snara

BW updated the wheel aero on the SXE turbos.  the 8375 is their older turbo with 75.99mm turbine and 270 thrust.  (probably should have called it 8376 all along)  -- SXE 8376 is their new version of this turbo and is now 76.2mm with 360 thrust and EFR blade aero (with corresponding bump in turbine efficiency).  Using the same housing A/R an SXE can spool a little earlier due to the turbine aero - but the more aggressive compressor wheel makes the turbos spool almost identically.  Attached is a photo of the old turbine wheel on left, new SXE on right.  We have these in stock at a healthy discount right now if you need one

I can make it relevant Mr Lith, he can buy my PT6266 CEA Gen 2 next year and I will get the EFR 8374 , lol

People keep asking for comparisons to other turbos. Precision turbos are the main competition to Borgwarner. The turbo I'm choosing is one that people look at when they look at the 8374. I'm in no way trashing the 8374. It seems like a great product. But it is brand new and hasn't had time to be proven yet. Looking at threads overseas, if the turbine wheel is damaged you will up for a new turbo. There are reports of these turbos leaking. Despite great dyno results, most of the drag records right now are being set with precision turbos. Dyno is a tuning tool. MPH, I believe is the true measure of power. I simply chose a turbo which has been tried and tested. The new turbos are air cooled so no leaks, ever. Parts are easy to get and units are easy to repair. This only my opinion and in time I may very well be proven wrong. As I said before, great thread.

Geoff, can you confirm any sort of update with the 8374. I haven't seen any "update/gen2/revised" from the get go?

Not the current version of them.

What exactly has been "updated"?

I remember seeing a few people talk about lack of compressor maps for the BW range (at least I think), but anyway, this is a good tool for picking the right turbo for your application. Though a lot of the required info a bit too specific for most peoples engines

Fair call sneaky pete. I seem to be offending people for choosing a precision turbo. People here are asking for comparisons to other turbos, I'm more then happy to provide one. You ask me why I didn't choose the 8374, I explained. I said that this was my opinion only. If this is an "all hail Efr thread" not a problem. I'm sure the product deserves the praise it gets. I was just offering a comparison that people are asking for.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
