Hit up MTQ. I got Nismo 3.2ish's 8374/1.05 for a tad over $3k, delivered. That was in January. It was 1 of 2 I could find in the country at the time. No one had stock.

Hey mate are you messaging MTQ directly? If i follow the links to sonic performance im seeing 3.5k?

Cheers

 

Maybe they had a price rise?

 

- The twin gates for starters

- The fab work for the twin gates. Less if you want screamers, more if you want to plumb them in. It's a time consuming job.

- The braided lines to each gate. You can go as basic or as hard as you want here. Single 3 port or duel 4 port MAC valves. The lines are not cheap!

I'm after an 8374, oh wow that's cheap. Gcg sells them for $3800.

I'll suss out turbo dynamics. Is that aus dollar $2400?

Hit up Hybrid Turbos, hybrid turbos and turbo dynamics are the same company but turbo dynamics list the 8374 external gate as sold out. :huh:

$2400 Australian dollars for my turbo, the 8374 would be under $3k delivered to your door.

I'm sold on these!!! Thanks boys I'll make a few calls tomorrow.

If you are not worried about buying from overseas these guys are hard to beat.

Shipping around AUD150.00 max   all up AUD 2450.00

Bought mine Jan 2015 for AUD 2100  delivered to Japan.

Prices have gone up a little but still cheeeeap!

Food for thought mate and they are good to deal with.

Okay time to chime in here. Thoughts on a 6758 .80 A/R T4 twinscroll on an RB20 with T4 twinscroll manifold? I was thinking 6758 but in the "old EFR thread" people kept banging on about the 7163 being the magic unicorn of the B1 frame size. I'm looking to make a responsive 220-230ish kw on 98 octane and then feed it E85 and make as much power as possible.

I think a 6758 is the best choice unless someone can give me more of an idea about why the 7163 is supposed to be so good?

Thanks

Do the iwg versions make the same numbers as the ewg ones? 

the answer is "it depends" -- engine displacement, boost level, max engine rpm, VE and altitude will all have an effect on backpressure and "the numbers"

both are good turbos.  7163 is typically much more popular because when run in twinscroll config -  the spool is similar to 6758 with much more airflow.

Can anyone offer more info on the 'mixed flow' turbine and it's advantages?

the mixed flow turbine wheel in the 7163 has higher strength and lower inertia than an equivalent radial turbine wheel.  Interestingly the mixed flow aero did not work nearly as well when it was scaled up to the larger wheel sizes

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
