It might be too late to ask this, but do you guys think the EFR 6758 is too big for the RB26? I'm like neck-deep in the build now, so it's probably too late to turn around, but curious what you guys think. I got them super cheap so couldn't pass them up, so this is my life now. 

I'd like to check out this build. There's gonna be some sick parts to support these little guys. Do you have a build thread somewhere?

I do not have a build thread. But I could certainly make one. I'm not doing the work myself, so some details/pictures might be lacking. Let me throw a thread together some time this week and I'll let you know.

looks good!  only question is regarding the intake tubes/filters - are they 3" ?  or 2.5"

I'm not sure. I can ask. Would it make a difference and if so, what should it be?

Ok - I prefer to see 3" as the smallest diameter for the inlet. 

 

edit:  the 2.5" will work fine, but 3" can better avoid any surge with 7163s

These are 6758's, if it makes a difference.

I'm using the turbosmart twin port actuator (14psi springs 3 turns preload) with 5.4w 4 port Mac valve @20Hz  max d.c 60% for 1.6 bar boost @3800rpm. High and Low 3d boost maps on Link G4+

Had the EFR high boost canister but it is hopeless for good control and used to severely over-boost after 20 mins driving when WOT. It was about 20mm away from #1 runner so I extended the turbosmart actuator 50mm forward. Boost control is damn near perfect.

@Meathead did you have to cut some more thread on the arm of the turbosmart actuator? My IWG actuator hits on the body of the car and was thinking extending it in this fashion would work almost perfectly i think.

Is that the 'inconel' brand beanie? Did i already ask this or was it a diferent one? [emoji14]
 
Yeah I'm curious too. I have a genuine efr one to go on my 7163 and it's freakin huuuuuuge. Same beanie they fit on the 9180. One size fits.... Most

Hope so, mine just left Austin...

The 'Inconel' brand stuff kinda lost me at them trying to make it out like the inconel was what makes it insulate, and not that the inconcel is just the high temp protecting casing for whatever they use inside for insulation.
And also the prices
:8_laughing:

Buraz' car.

Went from a Precision 6262/0.84 to a 9180/1.05 on his Racepace built 2.8L.

"target boost" was the same RPM - 4700 RPM, however the 9180 feels much stronger sub 3500 RPM. (Yes, the bigger turbo with the bigger ass end felt stronger down low). That falls in line with a couple other 2.8/9180 results that have come through lately.

6262 made 430 rwkw at 24 psi

9180 made 483 rwkw at 24 psi and 498 rwkw at 27 psi so possibly needs a larger exhaust. It's only a 3.5 inch RP item.

* Adnan loves to rape this thing so the tune is softer than most.

Once again, the transient response is the stand out. The stuff that can't be shown on the dyno.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
