Efr testing

your definitly right about the trap speed, Im working on solving that issue. if your going to test one out make sure you get the 1.05 housing

06f250powerstroke · Jul 22, 2013

but running 12.9 at 98 i think is impressive. anyone ive seen that has ran in the 12s has always been 105mph or higher

ive run 12.9 at 102.xx but regardless its definitely strong thru the 1/8th , your not even making 20mph on the back half.

its something with that truck though. or the track needs calibration. doubtful but i would have asked around at the track to see if other racers were running normal mph.
all i know is that charger is by far my favorite single ive ever ran. spools quick and never runs out of air. mid to top end power was outstanding. for someone that doesnt plan on towing heavy it is the best street/ strip turbo ive come across for these trucks. and ive tried darn near every turbo between my trucks.
i have to say it shawn, my butt dyno is pretty darn accurate

hahaha. i was closer than i thought i would be on the hp level. speaking of that, do you have your dyno sheet? what mph did you run up to on the dyno.

I need a turbo

motoxracer42 · Jul 23, 2013

oh and mike text me tomorrow and ill see if i can get ahold of another 9180 t4 1.05 non gated. they were hard to get with the 1.05 housing when i got mine, i wanted to hold onto it in case i got bored with the 8374 on my sti but i wanted a second opinion of it on a 6.0 because the trucks always seem to run a little different.

kev text me tomorrow too. ill see what i can do. you need to get a free weekend and come down so you can try a few different ones. i can send you one, but the one i think you need to try is on a pull truck i sponsor. his old charger let go so we swapped this one in. since he did, he has been a top dog in every pull unless he breaks. since the swap he has destroyed both diffs, a driveline and darn near everything else. he is beating the crap out of it 60psi boost, 90psi drive haha and it is holding strong.

Borg is back ordered on the 1.05 housings, after some casting issues or something of that nature I think they've had to retool or go through some design changes that's going to take a while. There may be some out there on shelves, but it's doubtful.

I've got almost 3000 miles on my 9180 now and love every minute of it, wish I could give the truck some more fuel without worrying about bending rods...

will do.

jdub-
yeah it was the only one i would bother with no doubt. sucks about retooling though, as that never goes quickly. i may try a 366, a pt67, then the efr 9180 ...

After some talks and wrong parts delverys I have a 8374 with a 1.05 housing on the way.

you did say it felt stronger then 650 haha, I do have the sheets i will take a pic of them tonite and post them up.

Any more news on these turbos ......... Any one had success towing ? Would 225\100 be too hot for the 9180?

06f250powerstroke · Aug 31, 2013

i tow a bit with mine nothing crazy tho. it handles my 205/100s pretty good 225s would be ok. im going to gate mine when i get a chance

JDub · Aug 31, 2013

Doesn't apply to a 6.0, as these results are from the 9180 in my Duramax but:

Just an update after 3000+ miles on the turbo.

Did some data logging with my Insight CTS yesterday. I've got the turbo gated at 28-psi to keep shaft speed below Borgs recommended limit. Drive pressure with the 13cm T3 stainless housing runs at 38-psi drive at wide open throttle. Shaft speed maxes at 101,000rpm, so I could probably adjust the gate to allow 30-32psi boost and still be within its shaft speed limits.

Running through the gears from a dead stop my EGTs hit 1280-degrees at 58mph, staying in it until 80mph they maxed at just 1306-degrees. So between 60 and 80mph under hard acceleration EGTs only go up about 25-degrees. Needless to say I'm extremely happy with the way this thing is running now.

Really contemplating going to 30% injectors as I really think it could take some more fuel.

Where's a good place to buy a t-4 mount

stroker57 · Sep 1, 2013

For a good t4 mount get a hold of mpd

thanks guys u have been a big help :thumbup:

motoxracer42 · Sep 5, 2013

no towing. not gonna happen

06f250powerstroke · Sep 6, 2013

well maybe a little haha ^^

motoxracer42 · Sep 8, 2013

knock it off lol you know towing would not happen with a 6.0. you would have to stay above 2700 or so rpms to keep her cool enough. towing on flat ground in od would be a nightmare. laggy, smokey and hot as hell. this charger is ideal for a street strip truck that occasionally tows maybe a wave runner haha
