Guess what?

Yep, it fits in the factory location -almost- perfectly.

It will need some clever routing of fittings and some skilled fabrication but it looks great!

Very very excited.

Australia's first Borg Warner EFR Mazda!

It's a turbo designed for race use from the start. Look them up. This one can go over 400rwhp but is more responsive than the smallest ball bearing Garrett T25. So imagine a turbo so small for response it can only hit 180 but it actually makes 400+!

Also I'm in peters SE right now. Finally had time to work on it a bit its spooling awesome and making good power. heaps of oil pressure. Running it in and getting it to drive nice right now. Will report back tonight.

Awesome looking work Dann! I'll know who to contact when the time comes.

Thanks Pham.

So peters GT28 SE is going great. Still road tuning. Just running 6 psi gate pressure. I'm doing a very very safe tune without much timing and running 10.5:1 AFR at full boost, so it's very conservative, still powers away from my na6 like it's stationary though haha. It will get a proper tume and ALL OF IT when it's run in.

This is sort of a hallmark for me. I built everything on this car from scratch, the engine from the crank up, the entire turbo and exhaust system from scratch and tuned it from a base map. Basically I am responsible for every single part of the performance package rather than just a piece here or there.

So what ECU are you running with this?

It's an SE so it has an adaptronic setup as a piggyback.

Hey Dann...How do we reckon my Nitro spec exhaust would go if I add a sneaky supercharger to my car?

If I remember rightly it was 2.5in > 2.25in > 2in.

I'm not immediately thinking of big power but would like to see 200BHP at the treads.

Should be fine, the twin 2 inch are massive over kill on the rest of the system and everything is straight through.

I dont think you would have any huge issues hitting 200 with an mp62 or a rotrex.

Awesome...Thanks Dann. I'm seeing many more wheelspins in my future.

Is that a 6258? They look pretty sweet, really interested to see how it works. Stock cams in that engine?

Do you have any pictures of a dump pipe for a gt28 flange, I am trying to get my head around how to get that shape to make a decent transition into 3" piping.
Using an SP manifold so the turbo sits high and flat, dump has to make the turn pretty much straight away.

Ill try, when im not doing anything fancy I usually use a 3" mandrel bend. You basically panel beat it into the basic kidney shape, then you weld a few of the closest edges on, and then you stretch the metal to fit the flange with either heat and a hammer or a hammer and anvil. Its hard work but it works well. [Those ugly welds at the end of the DP were done by an exhaust shop after I sold that DP/mani combo, not my welds]

Stolen from taocles FS thread, this is the best photo I could find quickly to show up. But basically a 3" pipe is a little smaller than the inside of the flange when beaten into the approximate shape, so do that first, weld a few edges on so it doesnt move, then beat the rest outwards so it meets the flange nicely. Good luck, hope you are fit its hard work.

Dann

PS the EFR setup will have stock cams but built bottom end.
