Finally got my hands on a 34 GTR tail shaft.

Going to do the 34 GETRAG conversion while retaining r33 GTR diff gears for even shorter gear ratios.

8374 with even shorter ratios = super responsive street car :D

You'd think your logic is correct but you will end up rendering 1st gear fairly useless and thus turn a 6 speed back into effectively a 5 speed.

Put in R34 diffs or don't bother IMO

The conversion is more so to put a stronger box in rather than chase even more response.

Need a strong box as these 5 speeds just keep popping with ~500kw and my driving style.

I'll change the diff in the future if I feel the 4.11 diff is too annoying.

Everyone I've spoken to who has done the conversion with the 32/33 diff loves it. See how we go

Need advice on turbo selection!

Built rb25 on e85 looking for 400kw roughly - Thinking EFR7670 t4 1.05a/r ewg.   

Just a street car with a bit of fun at roll racing, drags, powercruise etc.

Anyone know a off the shelf manifold that would suit? Or is fabrication always going to be required?

Also, waste gate selection? 2x40mm gates should suffice or would you go 45mm?

 

FYI sparesbox.com.au are having a 20% off storewide sale that ends today, that includes the EFR range. I just picked up a EFR 6758 with G type rear housing ( T4 TS .80 A/R IWG) for $2200

I was about to bring this up in the RB20 thread and then realised this was you.  Nice!

Fabrication is always going to be needed for your cooler piping and exhaust.

6boost is the closest 'off the shelf' you can get. Say goodbye to your AC though.
You may get there with 400kw on a 7670. People have done more. Too close for my liking though.
Single gate apparently you need at least a 50mm gate if you're going a 6boost. They will not warranty any less.

CRG manifold - cheaper than 6boost and I kept my aircon.

Poor collector/ wastegate design is poor

Thanks very much for replies.

In regards to 6 boost requiring a 50mm gate, I was refering to twin 40 or 45mm gates.

Fab work for cooler piping no dramas just wasnt sure how extensive it was going to be.

Will have a look at the CRG manifold now as I want to snatch a turbo while there is 20percent off. My hot side needs an upgrade :(

I should add, the AC hard line fouls on the manifold. At least, it fouls on the T4 Twinscroll manifold if you fit it to a R34 GTT. Some posts have said you can "Bend it out of the way" but mine is hitting pretty solidly right on what is ordinarily a 90 degree bend up and out of the compressor. I don't have the car right now so I can't take photos of the setup.

I expect a new hard line would need to be made up from scratch and put well, well, well away from the manifold itself.

50mm was in reference to single gate manifold, but again looking at where lines have to go and all of that I'm not entirely sure I'd want twin gates there either, it's all pretty tight and I'm a fair bit poorer from heatshielding heatshielding heatshielding.

 

If I could have my time again and wanted a 7670 I would get the internal gate one. Mainly for piping reasons.

I stupidly wanted EWG because the housing was bigger and wanted everything to be less hot, and I thought I could re-use my 45mm as a single. The IWG is probably just fine for 99% of people, I don't know if there's enough results to compare same turbo, same engine, IWG vs Single Gate vs Twin gate yet

Maybe if more people buy the turbos we shall see :P

I'm looking at the efr 9180 now for my rb26. 1.05 ewg. 

Upgrading a Borg Warner plain bearing. 

Is it too big? I cant decide now on 8374 or 9180.

All EFR's are ball bearing.

whats the current setup? What's your target?

As Piggaz alluded to, "is it too big" is all relative.  For 99% of people the 9180 is a really big turbo for a stock displacement RB26, but if you are used to big turbo life or looking for a lot of power in general then it's clearly not.

Which Borg Warner plain bearing turbo are you running?  If you have something like an S366 or possibly even an S362 then there is a reasonable chance it'll be more fun to drive than it is currently in every which way - but if you aren't making enough or aiming for enough power to justify it then you may as well go for the 8374 and have a whole different car.


Please clarify what you have and what you are aiming for

Thread on the 2nd page of FI he states he wants 1000hp+ @Lithium

Ohh it's that guy! Compared to a GTX4294R it'd be a lovely drive :D

It should make just over 1000hp @ crank on E85 with an EFR9180 without overspeeding it IMHO, but definitely worth investing in a turbine speed sensor if you're going to push it.  I'd actually consider an EFR9174 with a 1.45a/r housing and be slightly restrained with cams (ie, stay away from near 280s) at this point - @Full-Race Geoff?  Any thoughts?

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
