Oohh, shiny

Looking forward to your results, hope everything comes together nicely!

 

So far so good! Nearly ready for the tune... Just been tidying up some small stuff while its at Fabtech... 

It all runs and is nice and quiet with the new stainless exhaust system... It no longer sounds like a tug boat at idle :laugh:

Will be interesting to see what it sounds like at full noise!

Where's all the twins at?!?!?!!?

 

Here's my lump of coal. Scooped these baddies up in 2012 and they got installed just 3 months ago. Long story short this build has been in the toilet since 2011 and has gone through 2 builds which neither lasted. These 5 year old turbos ran for 2 seconds (total time since purchase lol) just a few days ago, literally, and the tomei engine failed due to seized exhaust cam on bearing cap 1. Anyway, maybe some day I'll have dyno charts for them. Don't mind all the colors, ran out of budget for paint lol.

quick question for those running an 8374 or larger,

got the 8374 running a few weeks ago and mine makes a bit of a siren sound during low rpm spool that I'm used to with things like  HKS T51R turbos and the like, but is the siren sound normal on the B2 Frame EFRs?

sounds like the full race R14 in this video but not as loud.

That sound to me if it was a non anti-surge cover turbo would signal a damaged turbo. looking around youtube it appears some do it and some don't, could be camera mics or something I guess?

9174 is going on a mates car, Nitto 2.7 with head work.

engine should be done in a few weeks.

I've got ~460awkw on the 8374 on my car and that's enough for me, my getrag and my clutch for the time being.

but if the 9174 turns out to be a no brainer then I guess I'll be doing it too eventually..I'm holding off for a black series 8474  for the time being if that ever happens.

Sorry I may have missed your results, what capacity is your engine and what exhaust housing do you have on the 8374. 460awak @ what boost?

engine is 2.63l (87mm)

1.05 rear housing, about 30psi and full boost reached at about 4700rpm. could probably lean on it a bit more timing wise up top and a bit more to do on cams (260 poncams)

6 boost single waste gate manifold with divider to the valve face.

quite similar result to FAT33R.. I suspect he's making a fair bit more up top due to the screamer.

unfortunately no sensor, will be doing further dynoing soon to improve TPS boost control, throttle enrichment stuff and Map the atessa duty to a torque split ratio value.

I have a sensor on the turbo now.

will FINALLY also get some high speed logs (100hz) of turbo response off boost, between gears, coasting high rpm to WOT etc. i think we're all due for those numbers after 7 years of talking about the response of an EFR!

How do you find it, data aside?

Would be interesting to see your mph.

Mine was 2psi short on the night and i ran 134mph so id expect 136-138mph with 31psi down its throat. 

I have the car back. First test drive around the street was positive. Way, way, better tham the old tomei ARMS (that being said that's not a huge compliment)

Things making boost easily, can comfortably drive it around the streets with no dramas. It does still feel like a big turbo though, part of me does think that maybe i should have got a 7670. That being said i'm sure that will change with E85 and timing and making more than 400kw with more boost.

Is it tuned?  Or is this just running around on the previously mentioned 7-9psi?    There is definitely no magic, these things (particularly the 8374 and the 9180) are still large turbos - they just are very responsive for the flow they provide.  E85 and well over 400kw will make it all make much more sense :)

yes, still just on 98, 7psi spring in the gate; no boost control, and only 9 degrees of timing if i remeber correctly.
In the coming days i'll sort out a few gremlins and get the courage up to actually venture a bit further and out into the countryside and get a better idea of how it performs, so i'll have some more detailed thoughts then.

    • 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).
