wheres the best place to order one of these bad boys, should i be looking in the states or australia?

 

The cheapest place I have found selling them for are the following 2 places in England. I’m looking at a 7670 T4 external gate and the cheapest i could find in Australia is $2875, the 2 below are $2030 posted to my door.

If you want to buy locally email mtq, munt-WA said he got a good price on a 9174 from them. Turbotech list their prices and are cheaper than anything advertised I could find in Australia

I run Cartel Online ww.cartel-aus.com and can now source BW turbos. We will beat any price on Borg Warner turbos offered by any Aussie reseller and our website also has a price match request where we will also try to price match any international reseller (advertised international price + freight + 10% GST)

OK question time. 

- What would be the best option for a solid 375-400rwkw in a stock bottomed RB26? Has headstuds, e85 setup, 76 plazmaman, cam gears already. 

- Could I potentially low mount this? 

- On what manifold? 

- Are we all agreed that the IW setup on these is good enough or is an external setup going to be better?

The goal is maximum response to improve over -9s on a street car. I may also move to Kelford L182-A cams and springs.

Will a 7670 get me there? My tuner just said a basic 3582R and a 6 boost would do, but these appear more responsive plus the smaller size means I have better chance of low mount. If low mount is too hard/expensive then high mount it will have to be.

400kw would be pushing it on an EFR7670 but high 300kw @ wheels with epic response should be doable.  I wouldn't rely on an EFR7670 being a lot smaller than a GT3582R, haven't seen one in person but they're not little things.  I'd definitely go external with an RB26, partly because you'd want the 1.05a/r hotside.

A GT3582R would clearly do it easily but won't touch the 7670 for response.

I tried to get my 8374 low mounted. 7670 is smaller, but only a little. Low mount isn't happening unless you find a solution for a gt35 low mount.

7670 ewg would Max out at your power goals. Should be a highly responsive turbo for the power.

Thanks Pete, are we talking max at 375 or max at 400? 

They're an ugly turbo to want to high mount. Dare I say the Precision is prettier to look at? When you see a full 6262 setup for $2300 (manifold, EWG, Dump. turbo, and lines) doesn't look like a bad option. 

 

Maybe @Full-Race Geoff may have some inside word on when the new EFR housings may become available?  They look a lot like the SX-E housings which imho are some of the nicest looking units on the market, a far cry from the ugly things currently available

 

This whole ugly turbo thing. Seriously guys, man up. You won't be worried about an "ugly" turbo when you're driving the thing. End rant.

What Dan said. 7670/1.05 would be an amazing setup on a RB26.

To draw a comparison, Benny from Benchmark tuning has put a fair few 7670's on EVO's. He says th basically drive like the factory EVO snail... but go onto make north of 400 Kw wound up. It would make the typical "-7/-9 2.6 build" look rather silly.

A bloke in the UK did that exact setup. From memory it went 575 HP. Can't remember fuel or boost as it was a while ago.

Dan, link to build thread.

It was the 0.92 IWG setup, sorry.

Because total power is not just about what airflow the turbo can provide.

Fair to say 6L will make more power than a 1L yes? Adding the same turbo to each doesn't magically mean the 1L will now make the same output as the 6L.

So I'm surprised a 2L will make the same/more than a 2.6L with the exact same turbo.

Then again were talking 80s engine vs much newer design...

Combustion efficiency vs air flow.

The increase in efficiency is rather small for your initial statement to be relevant.

Pretty sure you'll find posts on here (in the original EFR thread, in fact) that suggest that an increase in displacement will typically shift the power curve to the left, not offer you additional top end power.

Garrett's 3582R has an 82mm compressor and can reach you 400rwkw target

BorgWarner 7670 is a 76mm compressor, will be out of breath at 400rwkw but may work well for 375 and quick response

BorgWarner 8374 is 83mm compressor, and pumps out 400rwkw easily. 

Internal WG has its benefits (simplicity, cost) especially with EFR twins.  But when looking to run a single at high boost and high rpm, external WG is typically more popular.  it requires the gates, dumptubes, flanges/clamps etc

spend some time with matchbot, videos at the bottom of the page explain how to use it: http://www.turbos.bwauto.com/aftermarket/matchbot.aspx

Yeah that ugly integrated bov on the compressor housing that gets rid of 2km of factory bov pipe work out of your engine bay. Got a link for this brand new $2300 Precision 6262 kit?

It's a gtr, it sits in the shed and you look at it not drive it :laugh:

 

If you can wait until May next year i will have results on my 7670 T4 external gate vs -7 twins.

I tried out the 8374 and 7670 on an HKS bottom mount. Issue with the 8374 was the compressor inlet sits too close to the engine mount and also fouls the oil supply port on the block. 7670 sits much better, will have to use a sharp angle for the intake pipe right off the compressor to clear the mount. I'll dig up some pics and post them later. . .

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
