tbh, i have no idea... bought the car used.. i think it has a built motor with rods and piston. dont think its a stroker or has any headwork done to it. did not pull it apart to check. only found the spec of the cams duration when we try to set it up.

the car has almost zero to no vacuum.. which kinda "sucks"11.thumb.jpg.243a299b7b4040d11be2e2386036d937.jpg

Hi, may i ask ou guys for advice. I have a brand new EFR7670 on my car, but now i find a cheap second hand 7163 and i want to get it too. The guy who sells it claim that the turbo have only 500miles on it, but when i remove the turbine housing i found a signs of oil leaking. I talked to some other guys and show them picture and they said, that it could be from too much oil getting into the turbo regardless of there is built in oil restrictor. There is zero shaft play, the turbo is like new except that. So could you tell me what you think from the pic? Thank you!

I had the same issue on my GTR with a 9180 and now on an RX7 rotary. -12 drain on the rotor and -10 on GTR.

I did some research and oil pressure is too high over recommended 40psi with big pump RB’s and Rotary motors and oil escapes past the rear seals. I’m installing one of these in near future.

handy info, ill get one for the 8374 i plan on using, does efr turbos use removable restrictors?

I bought two of those OPR 40 regulators and found that they works on my drift car with top mounted Garrett GTX turbo, but on my daily car with bottom mount Garrett with short oil drain there is leakage with the regulator too and i had to fit an oil restrictor on the turbo.

Well did a run to 8400rpm and low map of 2850mB and the TIP is already too high, don't see it getting better in my experience

Don't want to throw it under the bus just yet but have my doubts about this smaller 74 turbine wheel based off what I have seen so far, TEP is low so there is no significant restriction post turbine, looks like homo spec :(

Did quick comparison the R34 (OS315 EFR9180 EWG) and the EVO is much more responsive and lower TIP, both cars ironically are exactly same rpm and vehicle speed in 2nd gear transient test. The 2.3L 4cyl just shits on the inline 3.15L 6cyl in this department as expected.

As balance of response to ultimate power this IWG 9174 on the 4cyl looks like it will place 2nd out of the three cars, the RX7 13B being the king of response (9180 IWG) and just the ultimate set up. It makes so much power that the twin plate had to get changed out for a bespoke ATS semi carbon unit a few weeks back.

Back to the EVO still have to sort out the MIVEC to get low end as good as it can be and then go to turbo limits and will put up some info to share showing the only thing that is important being the performance, should be fast, lets see.

Refinement of MIVEC (Inlet cam timing) on exact same map level (2850mB) 100-150kph 3rd gear in ~2.487 seconds !  :) and smoothed out the PD control of the boost too, tricky.

Got her to 3150mB just now, TIP to the moon though.... and starting to see saturation of performance relative to MAP increase, 100-150 in ~2.3 seconds, take a bit of time now to view all info and see just how hard to push this, but looks like turbine/housing combo is just a bit too small for this engine.

Stock one above 100-200 in 14.9 seconds, this under 6.9 seconds with gentle gear shift 3rd to 4th.

For those with no soldering iron experience this should do the trick

Though its an analogue input not a digital one so plan accordingly

Is that something that a Link could handle perhaps? 

Yes, though you may sacrifice a useful analouge input to make it work. and its an extra box.
Someone suggested using a Binary Counter to just divide it b 8, which brings it to a decent usable range (current max speed is 3700hz), i'm still trying to wrap my head around that one but it actually seems like a pretty simple and easy way to do it.

Hey thanks for the reply.

not sure how the bin counter would work without some external circuit board which shouldn’t be hard.. although finding the right board and adding some logic will be a bit of a pain.

I remember tho that last time I enquired Link re the speed sensor.. they said that it doesn’t work.. it hasn’t been for some time.. it apparently was meant to be included with their last release but it still isn’t working.

I have used old fashioned cmos ic’s for this sort of thing CD4022B should get the job done, and no surface mount soldering required ??

    • 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?
