your are the EFR cryptonite:laugh:
you going to park the car til september or take Garretts offer? |
2445 miles (including 4 hours of track).
I'm surprised I racked up that many miles on my car o_O |

does it still whine? rofl.
|
I think that's just diff noise to be honest. Its inaudible (at least to me) IRL but the camera picks it up really well.
|
Nice sig.
|
incomplete. let me help you:
The year's '91 and my trunk is raw In my rear view mirror is the mother efn EF ARRR If you havin boost problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 problems but a turbine wheel aint one |
lololollolllodsalodsadsaflsa
|
okay fixed. good team effort.
|
I think to complete the package my avatar needs to be an empty turbine housing.
|
You has no trubo wheel.

So I've been driving a bit as-is. Meaning all the turbo stuff minus the turbo wheel.
WOW IT'S FUСKING SLOW I datalogged for kicks and apparently I hit a whooping 80-85kPa in 2nd at redline. It quite a bit less than the 250kPa I was hitting before.... Also THIS turbo was originally bought from Himni racing, not Full Race, like first one. I left them a voicemail today without a response. Tomorrow, I look forward to telling them the story of my life. Will updatezzz! |

lol I feel your pain. when I went back to NONEOFIT on my 00 to pass smog I almost commit suicide
|
Simply driving around it's not too bad. Just every time I go WOT, I give up 3 seconds later because, honestly, what's the point????
|
Himini racing is good people

So I decided to just run my ancient SR20 T25 for the time being. I eyeballed the turbos and the T25 turbine housing is a good 1-1.5" shorter than the EFR. So with a T25-to-v-band adapter, it should fit my current exhaust manifold and downpipe.
Then it's just a matter of assembing cold side IC piping with my le-old recirc BOV and all that crap. Should be easy. No word from Himni yet... wasnt' able to reach them by phone, sent an email yesterday. |

Got a response from Himni that they are forwarding my warranty request to technical department :) e.g. normal response in this case.
This bit is interesting, though Right now all EFR’s are on back order with Borg Warner till sometime in August but with you having to go through the warranty process time you should still fall somewhere into that time frame and the back order should not effect you much. |
Sdefr?
|
Que? Что? Wut?
|
Stewart Development EFR.
They'll be ready "tomorrow". Ring a bell? |
lol >_<
I don't think it'll be that bad. I had my share of "it will be ready on _____". Waited 3 months for XIDA, still waiting for Trackspeed radiator. In this case it's something outside of Full Race/Himni power, not Bernie neglecting customers. |
I'm just going to post the whole email because this is fuсking mindblowing
HR Customer Service customerservice@himni-racing.com date: Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 12:31 PM subject: Re: EFR6258 turbine wheel failure Hello Lenny, We contacted Borg Warner about your turbo and the turbine wheel disintegrating. Although we agree that it is a default in the Gamma-Ti turbine wheel, Borg Warner does not and after talking to them it is clear they are not going to cover it under the warranty. We disagreed with them on this conceding that the Gamma-Ti turbine wheel is what has been causing the delay of the EFR’s . They view the turbine wheel damage as impact related and not covered under warrantee. We are happy to still take the warranty steps if you still wish to try but can assure you they will not accept it. As a seller we like to make it up to you the best we can and offer you a discount on a new EFR at our cost when they come in. We do feel that you might be better off looking into a Garrett GTX-R Dual BB turbo instead and will also offer you a discount on that too. We believe that you will be much happier with the GTX and will enjoy it for years to come. Please let me know what you would like to do and I will be happy to help you and answer any questions that you may have. |
Contact full race, get the Borg Warner contact from them, forward that message, and promise to post that all over interwebs if they don't fix you, profit.
|
Wow. Not one but two identical failures, and they claim them both to be impact related.

WINNING!!!!!!!

Garrett: Turbo works, even when your oil pump stops!
|
Lars, how can this be winning if it is on the floor?
|
stills works dont it? hence my comment.
|
I'd like to point out that I've driven over 500 miles since this turbine wheel failed - WITHOUT taking any of the turbo parts off. *IF* the failure was caused by a "foreign object", it would have to go through my engine as well.
|
they never said the shaft failure wasn't their fault, they said the turbine was impacted... and it was.
it hit your exhaust and the pavement... |

The ebay t25-to-vband adapter is, just as expected, a massive, steaming pile of ----. I feel like it was made in Russia. The holes are off, flanges warped. Looks like ----. But $45 shipped or so. Kind-of fits the v-band. Turbo studs are too long so ordered new ones. Also will need to enlarge holes in the adapter. To-do: - make a wastegate clip (lost it). I don't really need a wastegate on a SR20 T25 turbo... - clock it to match the EFR - wait for oil drain adapter to arrive so I can re-use my oil drain. Hopefully it fits length-wise. - enlarge turbine holes for my 10mm studs and pray the TSE hardware fits - enlarge adapter holes and bolt it down - change my 1-piece hot-side intercooler piping to a ghetto setup with a BOV http://s95367906.onlinehome.us/photo...d/DSC_0931.jpg http://s95367906.onlinehome.us/photo...d/DSC_0933.jpg http://s95367906.onlinehome.us/photo...d/DSC_0934.jpg http://s95367906.onlinehome.us/photo...d/DSC_0936.jpg |

run ALLOFIT and report the true limit of this turbo?

Yeah, not hooking up the wastegate

to be honest I will probably still have to wastegate as to not overspin the compressor wheel into pieces and ingest chunks of it. also, ordered brakes and everything associated with it. baller brakes, are, apparently, expensive https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1343234525 |
Are you currently on 1.8 or stock 1.6 brakes?
Always leave a column to subtract any part out money I make from selling existing parts. Makes me feel better. |

Got an email today. I emailed BW directly earlier and I guess that -or- this thread got around. I was asked not to post the whole email, so here's the cliff notes: - BW doesn't deny claims like this. - Himni never contacted BW and are not a BW partner/distributor. BW doesn't even know who they are, lol What did I gather from this whole experience with Himni? If you want a "fresh to the market" turbo, buy it from authorized retailers. In this case, from Full Race. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1343274796 vs https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1343274796 Spool shouldn't be affected, especially since I'll be rocking a VVT head eventually. |
It looks less resistant to surge. How close did you used to get to the surge limit?
|
bigger is better :)
|
You must go for MOAROFIT.

I'd stick with the current. you're talking the difference of a 440HP turbo vs a 480HP turbo. Yeah, the 6758 extra output range but it's not the ideal turbo for our motor, and the surge line will be iffy--It's the perfect turbo for high flow and low boost, like a v8.
|
Surge line you mean the top line, right? Like if at 16lb/min I would hit 260kpa (2.6 pressure ratio) it would surge (possibly, catastrophically)
|
Yes.
|
surge is the left side of the efficiency map. but yeah that's the idea. especially considering how fast the 63 can spool.
what's the difference in the 6758 vs 6258 besides the compressor? what's the physical size difference in the compressor wheels, 62mm vs 67mm? |
Dang, I'm totally in line for a 6758... maybe a vvt motor head flows enough better than the surge line is less of an issue? Hmm. I was really just going off the 'one better' theory too.
