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?

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
