Ok thanks..
I have a question has anybody
Try the EFR8374 with a front mount intercooler? Instead of a v-mount with the radiator.
Would it have a big difference on the spooling

Every kit we have sold both IWG and EWG has been on a car with a Vmount.

In my experience there is about 200 to 300 RPMs difference between the two( because of longer piping).

Borg Warner generally offers better hotside options. the garden variety BW equivalent to the GT35 has a 6.31 inch turbine. plus 22% to the GT35. OE build quality. you won't go wrong w any of the aforementioned turbos but it will be important to pick a turbo that properly fits your objectives. howard
Howard how does billet pte6266cea compare to the above turbos?

Precision doesn't provide compressor maps unlike Garrett and Borg Warner. i have no first hand experience w P and others on the forum would be better able to answer from experience.

Power output is similar, but the response is not even close in my experience. I have not done back to back testing however.

My EFR 7670 maxed out at 369rwhp @ 26psi as I predicted from the compressor flow, but not for the reason I thought. I wasn't able to do a full 28psi run as I hit 100% duty cycle around 4,000rpm.

350ftlbs torque, 369rwhp on a dyno dynamics @ 26psi.

Very nice. Speedjunkie and I were guessing his output was around 360-380WHP at about the same PSI. so we were close in our guesses.

Hey guys
Am going to be running the efr8374 with a front mount intercooler
Am thinking of getting this clutch
http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/zx6-xtr6.htm
Would it be a good clutch to run with it??
The goal is 460hp

It'll be good for the power level, and then some.

But if you are using it on the street, you'd be better off looking at a clutch with a sprung hub.

The solid clutch disk has lower rotating mass and is better when shifting, especially downshifting, but if have to drive in any kind of traffic, you probably won't like it. They're just too harsh.

The ACT clutches you're looking at are good, just get one with a sprung hub
