Do yourself a favour and don't use sparesbox.

I waited 10 months for mine to arrive and it was always coming 'next week'. Even getting my money back was a pain.

Sparesbox have 20% off on eBay all the time but I'm not sure they actually can get their hands on them/have stock

Also sparesbox are pretty darn expensive, and seem to just jack up all their prices whenever they have a 'sale'.

+1 for this.
Took them two n a half weeks to inform me that they were unable to get the exhaust system that I wanted which was marked as in stock on their website.
I asked a couple times what was happening and they just kept saying they were expecting it to turn up today

7670, not nice !

 

Yes, that's mine - a 7670 on 23psi on a SR 2.2L pushing out some impressive numbers. Still waiting for an assessment of why the compressor shaft snapped after 1 dyno run and 1 and 1/2 laps at Barbagallo during a slow warm-up lap. I'm a big fan of the EFR and pretty impressed with my 9180 on an RB34 that's run faultlessly for 3 seasons+ of racing.

Forgot to mention that the 490kw was done with Bosch 1650s,
stock R34 fuel lines,
stock fuel rail
stock nissan filter
single in tank pump (pierburg l3lm at 17.5v and pwm control)
Aftermarket fuel hat
Diff Fuel pressure drops from 45 to 42psi from idle to redline with fixed pump speed but can be ramped in to keep it flat.

Pressure at pump outlet is probably much higher!

Yes I follow your racing exploits on facebook. I have a 7163 in my s15 which is great but a little small for Barbagallo. I actually passed your s14 the other morning on the way to work. Was trailered up outside the deli/coffee shop in West Perth. I would be interested to find out why your 7670 let go.

That's pretty unlucky with the 7670 :( Not something you hear happening, the few EFR failures I have heard of have been overspeed / turbine wheel related

9180 on a 3.4 sounds like a real hearty combination though! 

While there's some sr20 chat. I got mine re dynoed last week. Changes / upgrades and attempts to fix boost drop were:

Link g4+ ecu (controlling boost now)

New boost solenoid

map sensor instead of hpx afm

New iat sensor

Canbus wideband controller

New vct gear (old one was rattly)

new tomei 258 Poncam (maybe more ex flow)

 

Was pretty much better everywhere. More response. More power on less boost. Pretty fantastic result. My gen1 Walbro 416 fuel pump was maxing out so will probs change to the new 525 one and retune to smoothen things out.

 

Car also lasted about an hour before the original (260,000kms old) rocker arms snapped (two of them) so getting new ones out in and dual shim setup on them done this week to get her back on the road.

 

338rwkw and a really meaty midrange of about 260rwkw at 4k. Full boost at about 3800rpm.

 

Green is the final result. The 'shit' red one is the last 307rwkw with more boost in the mid but less power overall especially as tapering off.

Awesome result !

A friend is thinking about stepping up on his SR. Can you give me  some details about your setup or point me to your topic where you present your setup.

Sure:
 - Forged engine, pistons, rings, rods. Head studs, main studs, nitto HG, stronger valve springs, RAS.
 - Full-race T4 TS Manifold (ewg but with the ewg ports blocked off with vband plates so I can use in future if I want)
 - BW EFR7163 0.80 TS. TS Bov. TS Dual port 24psi actuator
- Bosch 1650cc injectors in top feel rail. All braided lines, aftermarket fuel filter.
 - Havoc straight intake and 2.5" custom intercooler piping with new Aeroflow core
 - 3" vband dump to cat, resonator, muffler (3" all the way)
 - Link G4+ S15 plugin ECU
 - Walbro 416lph fuel pump direct wired to battery

That's about it for the turbo / engine / power setup.

I really love the result but alot of me would be hard pressed to recommend it given the cost and issues I've faced. When something like a new GTX2867R Gen2 will perform 90% as well in basically bolt on configuration with stock manifold etc..... certainly way less headaches.

That's a really nice result!  Still having boost control issues, though?   The turbo should have more flow in it, which is a shame - but that is a massive delivery for an SR20!   How does it drive?

Thanks.

And not 'really'. Line is a little wavy but pretty flat holding ~25psi the whole time now. Internal gate is always a little tougher to manage but I'm trying to squeeze the best result out I can before going external gate. Just because $$$ and legality here in Vic (not sure who I'm kidding about legality after going high mount).

Drives really really well. It's my daily driver so just putting around town and the streets is great. Beautiful torque and pull down low. You REALLY use that BW transient as you can come off/on throttle and it's quite effortless to get moving again. It does break traction in the dry in a straight line in 3rd now... soooo.... I'll do new subframe/diff bushes and some rear suspension arms in the hope of providing a little more rear grip, if that doesn't work I might run a little less boost just to make it a little less of a handful.

Not tooooo sure why I'm getting such a huge power drop after 6000rpm, maybe the cams are just too small. But to be honest I'm not that fussed, just want to be driving the car now. Will probs drop the RPM limit a bit for safety to prevent me snapping anymore rockers and see how she goes.

Ideally I'll start putting some $$$ away to chuck a P12 head on in future which will fix me having to replace VCT gears and hopefully stop the cam bottleneck (if that's what it is).

I had guessed that the power rolling over may have been partly necessity to avoid leaning out with the fuel pump starting to max out?

I'm not sure. Unfortunately I wasn't there when the tuner was finishing up so I didn't get a huge amount of details about some of those little niggles. Will go back for a touch up with the new bigger fuel pump in and see if that helps smooth anything out.

 

here is my dyno log over the 8374 compressor map. the 8374 is a pretty good match for an rb26.

 

I've moved the air flow scale slightly to make the turbo speed lines line up better. I would also expect the pressure ratio to be slightly higher due to air filter and intercooler pressure drop. I'm just using MAP here. you can see why they snap on so hard, it goes right through the peak efficiency zone when it's spooling.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
