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

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. . .

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
