I've just gotten the 9174 running on rb26. Needs a tune. Alot better off boost but only makes  .5 bar at 4k rpm.

Will a tune fix the laziness much?

 

Ignore the boost gauge for a kick off mate. Get it dialled in and see when it boots you up the ass when you mash the loud pedal.  See how it responds to different throttle inputs etc

Just burying your foot on the accelerator and waiting for something to happen while watching your boost gauge isn't a good way to gauge how it's gunna drive. Especially if it's untuned.

I'm not too clued up on the tuning side of it. How much of an improvement do you expect after tuned properly?

Stand alone ebc.

There is no fixed rule, sorry.  Depends on how far off the current tune is for it etc - the actual boost threshold is unlikely to change much unless there is something mechanically (cam timing/wastegate/leaks) making it laggier than it should be.

What exhaust housing is it running?  What was the previous setup, or should I say - what tune it is running on if it's not tuned for this setup?    If it's completely untuned then I would take anything of how it drives with a grain of salt, and really not be driving it at all.    

1.05 ts ewg. Previous turbo was 8370 wheel size Borg Warner journal bearing with internal wastegate that was too small to control boost.

Definitely a lot less restrictive now on the exhaust side.

Tuned on eflex with cam gears adjusted to suit. Has 264 greddy cams.

These are my old pumpgas results on 8374 IWG with nothing more than changing cam settings (increased overlap).

 

 

 

where are they Pat , nothing to see ?

I've taken the efr off and am going to sell it . Went back to a smaller turbo and couldn't be happier. 

I'll list it in for sale section if anyone is interested.

Did you actually get it tuned ?

 

What have you replaced it with ?

No , pulled the plug before it became too used and worthless. 

Upgraded to a turbo off a tractor.

You mean downgraded to something better matched to what you wanted?

The 9174 was laggier than the old Airwerks ?

Yes correct. Tune would help. Ive got a forged 3025 neo and r33 gtst.ill put it on that if I don't find a buyer. Any help selling would be greatly appreciated. The one I put on is slightly similar to what came off but with t4 rear and better twin scroll manifold / external gate setup.

So its like a Borg Warner S300SX 8375 or something - 60mm turbo?

I'll mention it to Kiwis who may want a 9174, you have the 1.05 hot side?

Yes mate to both questions.

What I'm using now is basically an 8370. It starts moving just after 2000 rpm.

It would be great to find a buyer thanks.

Can't promise anything but will mention it.

Where do you get an 8370!?  Never heard of such a combo

That's what the wheels measure up at. Extended tip compressor too. The first one I used on this car was off an eimco ed10. Screenshot_20180419-165043.thumb.png.5d86742b662ec24ce8cd2f0e13885fc9.png

That was '8374' size with cut down water cooled turbine housing. The one I just took off was '8370' with twin scroll t3 turbine housing and internal wastegate which the ports were way too small and not able to control boost.

The new one has the same size wheels in a t4 twin scroll housing but I've made it external waste gate. It works great.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • 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.
