Topic: Opel GT upgrade to Borg Warner EFR turbo

[Arabas]

i agree Kelu, since the time plan got screwed up, get the K04 back on and enjoy your car  until the efr comes in. at least you won't be waiting without enjoying your car.
don't give up on the efr plan, when finally it gets completed, you will be happy you waited !

there are 2 members in the greek forum selling their de cat dp. if you want i can hook you up with them and see if you can work out something with the price and shipping cost.
hell if it not late, maybe your greek malaka tuner can pick it up.

let me know if i can help

SKY888: I'm not willing to spent more on the engine until I don't see it performing with a higher power, remember my targeted power is 400-450hp at crank and I hope the stock engine should be able to hold that power. Oh yeah, as elff said, who is paying the shipping on that? 

Arabas: thanks for the offer buddy, but I think I can build a catless dp locally pretty cheap and fast like 100-180$ taking 1 day.

EFR turbo has been received from warranty in mid August after more than 3 months, I still didn't received any info about the reason of the failure.

I decided not to use this turbo anymore even the turbo is very good product but the delays of delivery were killing me, I might have an EFR 6258 brand new in the box for sale if someone is interested.

So how long after you got your car back together and running did the replacement turbo show up?

[Kelu]

Well I have decided to switch with a different turbo in July after waiting 2 months for delivery from warranty and after trying to find any news about turbo with no luck.

In 7-10 days was running back, I would say about 1 month before the EFR turbo was delivered.

What turbo you running now?

[Kelu]

A COMP turbo, don't ask me the model cause I don't know, the compressor looks pretty big with not so big turbine side, Comp said is capable of 700bhp.

[Arabas]

Kelu, can you pls start a new thread with your new set up?
and don't forget something, coz i will ht you with your  favourite line...

[Kelu]

Not until the setup is finished.

[DirtyMike]

same manifold, flange?

[Kelu]

Garret manifold + an adapter flange

[SKY888]

will be a very unique set-up indeed!

garrett manifold + comp turbo = one of a kind!


good luck with that build kelu!
