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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
