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?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
