Will try pick it up tonight and comment on how it's behaves in the road.

Staying at 35psi. Now I'm tempted to have a crack at running a 9 haha.

580kw is at 7000RPM. I'm getting 35psi by 5500RPM.

Going to try and get an overlay on the 8374 dyno and 9180 dyno runs and share it.

Awesome, look forward to hearing.  Good luck with pushing it off the map like that, it definitely doesn't guarantee failure and you at least know that rpm haven't spiralled off massively at the point it's dyno'd to (don't rev it higher though!!)... so while it's more dangerous it hasn't gone way out of control at that point.  

If it fails earlier than it should however, you also know you've taken the the risk and accepted it :)   VERY keen to see how it drives and goes.  They are a beast of a turbo!

Yeah you know as well as anyone that some dyno's are happier than others. As you said you want to run 140mph, with that power it should go well over 140mph.

Wack some ET streets on it, soft suspension and run that 9 with a H pattern!

Good luck :)

I doubt it will happen.  There were noises of a 9280 but it seems like the hotside is also a hold up on these things, so they'll probably need a clean sheet or just twins (which I think Nizpro customers have done!?)

Picked it up and drive it home in muggy 37 degree weather.

Initial impression.

It's def lazier than the 8374 down low. You can notice the small lack of pick up and low down but transient response and pick up from say 3.5k and up is very similar to the 8374.

Couldn't really give it the beans on such a hot day. I put my foot down once in 2nd and it did take a while to come on song and was only hitting 31psi due to weather. Haven't really felt new top end grunt.

Will take it out on a cooler night to really test it but at this stage, on a mild 2.6, the 8374 is a better option for a street car.

TBC.

OK I take that back.

The 9180 is awesome!

Awesome :) We already know this but care to elaborate?  How does it drive and go? Response decent once on steam considering the 2.6?

It's smoother than the 8374. The 8374 felt snappier when it came on. This isn't.

Low down there is noticeable lag compared to 8374 but once IMO it's perfectly acceptable to drive around town once ur up in the red range. My short ratio getrag also helps with drive ability.

Top end is mental. Even as the driver I felt a little scared as too how quickly it picked up speed. 5500 to 8500 is where it all happens on 2.6 so a stroker and 9k rev limit with this turbo would make for an incredible street car.

Are you running 4.1 fd with the getrag?

yes standard 33 GTR diff with 34 Box

Great. I hv the same! What clutch are you using at the moment?

My main sport is hill drives. I am currently running a pair of gtss and looking at upgrading to efr9180.  it is a 1.05... one of my mate has a stock engine with efr8374. it has a 0.92 without the actuator. Tuned to 1.2bar and the car is great.

My current engine has poncam b, tomei rods and cp pistons (9:1).  the engine runs great so i am very reluctant to rebuild it.  As i am into hill drive, my main concern is response from the 9180. 

Do you of a dyno overlay to share? And maybe a vid of how the car goes?

    • 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.
