Do you plan on building this soon? How hard do you rev it? Any other changes apart from the snail? 

Its gonna be interesting to see the difference, especially in the real world.

Still on the factory gearbox?

Will build when it pops.  Probably rev to 8500.

It has getrag behind it now with diff. No other changes to motor aside from turbo.

Do you at least have decent headstuds? the OEM ones are known to stretch and lift heads

yes. head gasket, studs, springs, valves etc etc have been upgraded. Basic stuff is done

I ended up with 1.05 as it didnt look like the 1.45 would fit on current mani.

Should be on this week with tune next week or so.

Nice, I don't really think the 1.05 should be a show stopper at all - especially on a "mild" 2.6, I'd say the turbine speed would be the key thing to keep an eye on.  Very interested to see what the difference is from the 1.05 EFR8374!

 

Good luck :)

After reading through this thread you all convinced me to not get a Garrett GTX3582R and instead I just purchased purchased a efr8374 1.05 ex gate from gcg turbos yesterday. Also brought a 6boost split pulse manifold and 50mm turbosmart pro gate.

Can’t wait to institute in the coming weeks.

Guys, what do you think the below setup? Would it be laggy?

1. efr9180 1.05

2. Fullrace manifold running twin gates

3. Rb26 87mm forged CP piston 9:1 compression with tomei rods

4. Ported head with tomei type b cams

5. Greddy intake

6. Getrag with 4.1 final drives

I hv been searching for results of 9180 on stock 2.6l displacement but couldnt find much info.  what i am really after is whether it is going to be laggy.

Fuel will be 97 but running on wmi.

Thanks

 

 

From guys that have gone from -5’s/2530’s to a 9180/1.05, it behaves like a pair of -5’s to 4000 rpm then the 9180 will walk away from it.

If an 8374/1.05 is on 500 rpm earlier than a pair of -5’s then how much later can a 9180 be?

*using -5’s as a yard stick.

How hard will you be leaning on it?

It won’t be the most responsive setup in the world but you are talking about a 94 lb/minute turbo all in.

30psi by 5000rpmish. Will have actual results next week

    • 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).
