Just remember if comparing to mine it was done with the 6 speed and 3.545's so not exactly like for like vs 5 speed and 4.11's :)

It still belts the 5s any which way you look at it ?

Its 7lb bigger than the 5s too so the most impressive thing is the 80kw in the middle. Not just the top end number it kills it from the basement to redline.. 

Another interesting thing is that it looks like the gains would probably be better to just going to a single EFR than using v cam to try getting the twins on song sooner.

Even so you dont get the killer throttle response or how quick the EFR stands up on the street.

More power everywhere and its also alot smoother and linear power delivery than the twins.

So another win if you are on track as there really is no "hot spot" even if you apply half throttle its not gunna give you 90% of your power like the twins do. 

You only need  half power for a turn?  Apply half throttle and thats all you get!

Piggies car actually made 240kw at half throttle outta the 486kw he made on the dyno.

No other turbos do that to my knowledge?

New EFR crew member checking in....

Manifold will be a 6boost w/ twin gates.

Wastegates will be tial mv-s.

Exhaust will be plumbed back via 3.5" downpipe

The EFR will be used on a SR20DET with a fully ported NAPREC head, big valve chamber with deleted squish pads.

ETA for completion is probably 6 months away.

Having been in a 2.8L EFR machine, the thing is completely mental and beats stock response with quadruple the power.  THEY ARE MAGIC fellas.

 

 

 

No VE Head ? Stock stroke ?
What EFR are you going to use ?
I should really get my s15 finished at some stage !

DET head but very tickled. Stock bottom end. When it pops a 2.2 with possibly a VE head will go on it.

Benny can let you know with turbo choice. It’s smaller than a 8374 or 9180 though. ?

I would just keep that head on Benny's and slap in better springs, slightly more aggressive cams and 2.2L it's mum all round.

No need for VE if you're not chasing silly numbers. A clean S14/15 head with carefully chosen parts ie not GT3071 and open scroll junk will be perfect for his requirements.

2.2L with his head, VCT, TS everything will happily make the power and deliver the boner response he would be after.

Once the box blows, put in a 5 speed Z32 and an convert his diff ratio to 3.9 from an auto.

Nothing, and I mean no turbo in the world can spool up quite like an automatic gearbox will do it with a decent stall converter.

Going manual has certainly taken the buzz out of my EFR as everything seems laggy comparatively. Until you want to take a corner and all is forgiven.

Here is a mate's 2.8litre EFR9180 setup doing some laps at NZ's time attack series - bonus loose moment at the end of the timed lap :)

Mine makes boost, needs more fine tuning and even more boost, got a missfire and a few other little niggly issues and then back at work. So still no 'final result'

Edit: E85 though which is great to have

Goes well though, can still hit full boost (25psi) in second gear with 50% throttle which is a laugh

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
