Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0


Piggaz

Recommended Posts

I'd imagine for flow rates towards the upper end of the 8374 the 9174 will have a lower exhaust manifold pressure as the compressor will be more efficient, all other things equal.

at 75lb/min @ 2 bar you're at 65% on the 83mm but still up over 72% on the 91mm that effeciency change correlates to shaft power requirement dropping, so the required turbine pressure ratio also drops.

 

the changeover in efficiency occurs at about 58lb/min. less than that the 8374 will be lower pressure, and more than that the 9174 will be lower. during acceleration transients however the 9174 will be slightly higher due to the increase in inertia of the larger comp wheel.

that is correct, 9174 works best with the big 1.45 a/r housing when pushing the turbos limit.  The 74mm turbine is relatively small to swing the 91mm compressor so anything that can be done to reduce preturbine drive pressure at high rpm / high boost is a win for this one. 

if only Borg warner made an EFR 67/84mm compressor wheel!

maybe even anodize it black?

9174 on a well built 2.7lt 4 cyl

 

That's just bollux.  What a ridiculous power delivery haha.

For those who didn't watch the video - check out this power delivery, 300kw at 4000rpm on something holding power to 8500rpm... Like 875hp power.  There isn't much to question there.

 

Cheers for sharing!

That's with a 1.00TCF too, so basically ~1000bhp @ engine with the FR combination in that car with the rear end and 1:1 4th (minimal gear train *gearbox* losses no driver/driven x driven/driver power flow since direct drive *no lay shaft* so input shaft>output shaft).

Now to pick what to use on the EVO????

we built the turbo kit on steph's drift car.  its a 2.6L engine from a toyota sienna minivan, typically he revs to 7800-8000rpm depending on the track and gearing.  Turbo setup is divided t4 manifold, very similar to evo but flipped so its a top mount obviously.  the turbo started as 8374 0.92 a/r, then tested 1.05 a/r 8374 and went back to 0.92 once they had the nitrous on the car.  He is battling V8s and 2jz's so he needs as much bottom end torque as is possible.  once they switched to the 9174 he kept the 0.92 a/r for a while due to the setup already being built and in place.  as of right now i believe he is back on the 1.05 a/r. 

keep in mind there is a lot of nitrous on this engine

What kind of exhaust pressure increase are you seeing on the 9174 over the 8374 for a given turbine housing size/engine combo?

it depends entirely on the application - altitude, engine size, max rpm, boost level, VE, etc.  typically the 9174 exhibits increased emap at most points

The Dyno plot I posted was the highest before they got nitrous involved

Yeah, definitely noticed that - ANNNNND in the most "harsh" correction mode Dynapack dynos offer.   No two ways about it, this is making some big power with a very wide delivery.

Yep good to know a 9174 with 1.45 will actually do 1000bhp on a 2.7lt engine. It's not often you find nuggets of info like that around, saves having to test everything yourself for sure!

Somebody help me out, being offered a seemingly near new 7670 with a 1.05 TS rear on it. this would be to go on my forged SR with a sexy head and good TS manifold. 

Too big/small max power? I have a hard time wraping my head around EFRs other than they seem to be a "good" thing. 

Sprint/time attack style car so the transient is what interests me, I'm expected the motor to be capable of "decent" revs.

The 7670 is the turbo I used to have,
Up to 450kw, maybe even 465kw.

It's a big turbo. It's not as big a turbo if you're realistically considering using it as a track car, i.e always up in that rev range. You'd have to define "sexy head" as this is a turbo you'd be need to be living at 5-8k at constantly.

It is GTX3576 sized.

I guess I don't know what turbos you are familiar with, but I feel like the most sensible way of describing one is if you were looking at something using "back in the day" turbo terms - its in the area of a Trust/Kinugawa T67 - Garrett GT3582R power wise but wanted better response (just to clarify, I'm not saying it will be like a supercharger - just something that is in that power range with less lag) then you should be happy with it.

Maybe too big for me then I was looking at Gen2 GTX3076 or so. 

Maybe it was the 7163 I was looking at. 
 

 

Haven't seen much of the Gen2 GTX3076Rs, but I'd take an EFR7670 over a Gen1 GTX3076R from what I've seen.  

An EFR7163 would be a beast on an SR, though if you are going for high rpm there is a chance of choking it - I'd use the biggest housing you can get on that turbo.

I would highly recommend AGAINST the 7163 for your track use. IMHO the rear exits are too small for TS use. I would think a 7670 and 1.05 (MAYBE even the smaller 0.92) would be perfect. The 7163 only come in 0.80 rear in TS form which I believe (no expert) chokes too much, especially under higher RPM.

FYI I'm running an EFR7163 on T4 TS SR20DET. I will be pushing it HARD to get maximum response and power for street / light track duties. But the small lag hit I think you'd be wanting the extra ~80-100rwkw and freer flowing turbo setup.

I don't wanna blow the bottom end apart trying to "use" a turbo properly. 

Will have CP pistons, Manly rods, and some other tricks, but I was under the impression most "basic" forged h beams were only good for 600-650 crank hp in an SR, but how long is a piece of string?

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
