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.

    • 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.
