Hey Elliot and Shawn - just wanted to check in and see if the EFR 8374s are still scheduled for an end of February delivery from Borg Warner

Do you guys have an updated anticipated completed kit shipment date?


Thanks - keep up the great work

 

Last we heard still end of Feb for 8374 units, and end of March for 7670s.

Currently we are shipping all kits less turbochargers at the moment, with tracking etc .

 

wow end of march! dang well guess ive got more time to get the rx8 engine build going before I dive into the FD!

 

Thanks Elliot

Are you holding off on shipping kits with Inconel shields and clocking services until the turbochargers are in from BW?

 

quick Q, - what does the clocking service entail??(is something extra being done ?? extra hardware??) Looking at the install vid by Shawn, mentions clocking the Turbo to line up oil line(feed in) and the front compressor outlet pointing up etc... so wasn't sure as i thought that was "normal"

 

Hey Turblown, I know u guy did alot of dynoing of these setup, i was wondering if u ever consider using the turbosmart dual internal wastegae setup with the 4 port soleniod to achive a better boost respond in low, mid and high?

 

How is clocking service work done? I though you just turn he housing by loosening it?

 

yeah you can easily clock it your self. its just one of those do you want the shop to do it for you or not. If your paying a shop to install the kit anyway, you might as well get the service?

 

So far we have shipped 60 kits in total( complete with the turbochargers, most of these were tier, 1, 2, 3).

Right now we are shipping the turbo kits, less turbochargers in full( including the inconel extras). If clocking service was selected, we are waiting to ship the inconel turbine shields( we are installing these with the clocking service).

I literally spent the last 80 business hours welding, and getting down to the tail end of the downpipes.

Rx7aholic, yes we run a 4 port solenoid on Shawn's car. We maxxed the 8374 compressor out at 24 psi on his half bridge, and so we didn't really get to try super high boost pressures.

What I really want to do is get Adaptronic Modular's to be able to input the shaft speed sensor vs boost control!

So for those who missed out on this, we currently have 80 manifolds out of raw casting and in machining.

 

I ordered a turbine shield. I'm not sure if I need to clock it? I thought that clocking is for the compressor side air outlet? You mentioned clocking with the shielding you will ship with the turbo? I was going to use the HKS R V-Mount and install the kit my self?

 

Yes I was going to install my self with a HKS R V-Mount. Not sure where it sits if I need to clock?

 

If anyone is thinking about selling their kit / spot - send me a PM.

 

We got our 7670 iwg turbos in. All paid in full 7670 kits have shipped now( complete with turbos). There is only one person left on the list who has not paid in full for a 7670 and we have an aluminum chra 7670 in stock( steel are all gone).

We have received all of our 9174s less turbine housings too. Still waiting on 8374 complete units.

Everyone will have tracking by tomorrow.

No updates on eta or any info other new info on the 8374s from BW?

 

ohh yeah! this is what I want to hear!!

 

Someone was posting on spot in the for sale section.

 

Missed it.

 

Not at the moment. We will let everyone know more when we have inbound tracking.

 

Hey guys, any updates? Getting antsy

 

8374s should be in. I got mine on Thursday 3/16 from another source. :-)

 

Spoke with Shawn last week. Was told end of May on the 8374s.

 

If anyone is looking to sell their 8374 kit or spot, please PM me!

 

Suppose ably we have some 8374 IWGs on their way to us... I will post an update when things are physically in our hands.

 

That's some good news. Crossing my fingers.

 

We did get a few 8374 iwgs in that were on back order, along with some varying other sizes, so this is promising!

We are working our way down through the open 8374 IWG orders from the tier 4 guys. Currently waiting on another ETA for more.

Thanks for everyone's patience here.
