Just to remind you the key requirement of the thread:

 
I am building a Street Car (Not a Race car) and will be using mostly RON98 But will be E85 compatible. I want Response more than Top End. 

everyone else seemed to digress from the conversation, and that's fine.

Ok Lithium I know you have beef with me and take every single opportunity to attack me, that's fine. On the block list you go.

Yes, more manufacturers should use better materials. It makes so much of a difference in the real world that I just cry when people spend money on turbos without doing proper research. The only other variable is packaging, but if you physically can't fit a huge turbo somewhere, you are well outside of the "Street car" category.

These lighter materials have their limits and with how hard a lot of people are pushing turbos these days the ti-al wheel would be lucky to last the dyno session on some of these cars. Everything is horses for corses 

the best answer so far has been from @Piggaz which was “what’s your power goal?”

Lol I actually am here nor there about you tbh, if anything my understanding is you have a huge issue with me for some reason and that'd be the main reason I'd be less cordial with you. 

 

That aside I'm not sure why you're taking it personally when I simply responded to you after you quoted me - I *always* try my best to keep in mind what OP is looking for even if it doesn't align with my personal tastes, so my response would have been more or less the same regardless of who said it. And I'd also not have had a cry if someone said the exact same thing to me as it seems perfectly reasonable.

Use a bigger turbo. Spin it less hard. People overdriving turbos does not make it a good turbo selection, nor a good plan.

I can run 200psi boost too and make tons of power, is that what we should recommend then 😛

Why not? if the turbo can do it, go for it

Strictly speaking it can't, or shouldn't be.   The assumption is that most sensible people keep things within parameters, we expect tuners to not keep advancing timing past the point knock starts happening even if there are gains to be had because you obviously start making things degrade a LOT faster.   We let engines warm up properly before thrashing them.   We run appropriate oil and change it before it loses it's usefulness.   We don't overspeed turbos.    

You also massively overstate the fragility of EFRs.   It is farrrrr from a case of "pass the max compressor speed limit and they explode" like some people try to paint the situation as being. 

The thing I *do* strongly agree with what you said, and have been sorta expecting to get clarified at some point - the actual power goals and therefore the match required is a pretty critical thing that needs to enter this convo before it really gets too much further.   

I threw the EFR8474 down there as the OP mentioned response and it is kinda a "cake and eat it too" option when discussing something like an RB28 for happy street use.   It'll be a nice super responsive turbo on an RB28 if you "only" want 400kw, but will also go past 600kw @ hubs on E85 while still being well safe from running the risk of grenading if you wanted to go there.   The response and flow is good enough that if you want anywhere from 400-600kw then it will do so without any excessive lag or strain, so you're unlikely to end up with regrets going for one.

If you aren't building a roll-race or drag car then it'd be pretty hard to make a case for another turbo unless it's a fitment or budget concern driving the decision making - but that is still making some assumptions on what OP wants.  Be nice to have clarification.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
