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?

 

If you are after a hill climb car a 9180 wouldn't be a great choice in my opinion. Sure its gunna make gobs more stick but itd make it bit of a handful and hard to punt through the tight stuff! An 8374 1.05 is where its at i reckon. More than enough grunt to satisfy any mortal man but still responsive enough to be a blast through the hills.

The current gtss is easy on tight corners n windy roads but a bit boring when we hit the long stretches (down hill).

Another mate has a 2.8l with gtrs n find the exact opposite of mine.. fast on long straights.

On hill climbs, i try to maintain 3.5k and above most of the times on the gtss.  O the gtrs, my mate needs to maintain 3.5k to 4k. If the 9180 requires more than 4k to be in the power range then it will not be a fun car for hill climb.

Do you have stock displacement, @gzro?  If so, then you'll be needing near 5000rpm to keep on steam with a 9180... it is a big turbo for a 2.6.  Even on a 2.8 you'd want to be keeping over 4000rpm, the EFR8374 is the max I'd personally go with unless you've got more displacement or a good head.

OS Giken Racing Triple Plate.

For hill drive, I'd recommend the 8374. 9180 on 2.6L probably too big.

Dyno comparison is on the way...

Stock displacement at the moment.... 5000rpm is like driving a honda for hill climb...nothing against honda tho...  just not too comfortable with having to maintain a rev that high through out the drive..

I have a spare head, a ported n polished head off a race engine frm japan. I have no idea if it is a good port job.  Will be using this head after i change the valve guides.

Also have the Greddy intake which may just introduce more lag to the setup...

For exhaust manifold,  i have the non-wastegate fullrace that i bought for an earlier turbo that i have now sold. Will have to get wastegate flange welded onto the manifold.  The earlier turbo was an efr8374 0.92ar - my life is full of crappy decisions......

How does the OS triple plates drive?

I have the exedy triple carbon (hyper-r series i think) that i am planning to use with the 9180.  Currently on ORC twin carbon, which is very easy to drive with no On/Off bite. However i have read and been told by numerous people that On/Off bite is inevitable with triple plates.

Another vote for the 8374/1.05 especially on a smaller 2.6L.

The OSG triple is a pleasure to drive. The pickup point is lowish, not grabby/bitey. Having had a Nismo coppermix for just on 10 years, I was quite hesitant about going to the OSG triple. Totally unnecessary. 

* Apprantly they did some changes at some point. Not sure when the change over was but it would have been before July 2015.

Had the Coppermix twin plate for a few years, great to drive, engages up top , good for my short legs, lol

Now have the ATS Carbon triple plate, engages early but as easy to drive as the Coppermix twin  , not an  OFF/ON clutch , easy and smooth and handles my torque easily. 

2 very good cluthes

I think you're going to have trouble with the excedy carbon triple on a 9180.  according to here:

https://shop.exedyusa.com/exedy-racing-clutch/exedy-racing-hyper-carbon-series/g-50059.aspx

its only rated to 568 ft lb. (770Nm)

the ORC1000F triple is rated to 980NM

the coppermix competition twin is rated to 950NM

and the OS Giken R3C is rated to 1050ft lb (1400NM)

Know you'r only quoting claimed figures but a nismo coppermix won't cop 950nm. 2 people i know have killed them with around 750nm. 

I am interested as well in seeing some 9174 data. I have a 9174 with a .92 iwg on a stock bottom end. Full Race said it should be within 80-100 rpm more than a 8374, with the power of a 9180. I should be ready to start tuning it in early April. Still need a few more parts and some time to work on it.

At the moment I am not measuring back pressure in the manifold. The 9174 is supposed to spool a couple hundred rmp faster than the 9180, and has a higher rpm limit. I haven't fired it up yet. I got the .92 internally gated housing to keep it simple. I have the turbosmart dual port wastegate on it. I am hoping to keep spool to a minimum. If spool is good, but is not making power, I'll swap to a 1.05 and have external gates added to my manifold. If it doesn't spool like I want it to, I'll step down to an 8374. I figured I'd try a combo different from everyone else. I have a friend that just tuned his 8374 1.05 AR at 605 rwhp at 27 psi on pump gas. So I am hoping my 9174 will do at least that on pump.

Is that measured flywheel torque or derived torque from a dyno reported power at the wheels?

because that would put it right around 950ish factoring 20-25% drivetrain loss

Thanks....just realized....  the clutch was meant for the earlier turbo as well...

What hp and torque were you running with the ATS triple carbon?

Interested too see if the nismo can still hold up with your latest upgrade.   then i can decide which clutch to go for.

It is 600awhp @ 6000rpm and 761 Derived Nm @ 4000rpm , my setup runs out of puff pretty quickly but a good street ride:)

Would a 0.92 ar work on stock displacement? Plus vcam?

Really reluctant to build a 2.8l engine when the current engine is still healthy,  current engine is <15k after rebuilt..

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
