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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
