SupraDan24 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Exhaust looks lovely, could do with a Whifbitz stamp on the box though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Omg!!!!! Just been for a quick blast with Paul in this monster. Insane, outrageous and totally fantastic. Can't wait for a ride at the Pod tomorrow. Brilliant, well done Paul and I hope our sieve filter gets you there ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 With the upgrades you've put into the chassis Paul, the diff, the coilovers, the control arms, if you can't put the power down in third the rest of us might as well give up now and go home! Stupendous car and and excellent result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) My Borg Warner EFR turbo has arrived here at last! Cant wait to try this baby out, looks very high tech, the compressor wheel on it is a work of art. This is going to be my track turbo so super fast spool up and aiming for about 850bhp approx.

Chris Wilson Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Have you got any info the the BW turbos with electronic wastegates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Have you got any info the the BW turbos with electronic wastegates? You mean the internal wastegates Chris? If so nothing as yet, they are still very hard to get hold of, in T4 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just been reading up on the EFR turbos. Very impressive. What power do you expect to get from this? Are these stupidly expensive at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these stupidly expensive at the moment? Hello mate, I'm expecting about 850bhp from it hopefully. The problem with the EFR's is the availability, the lack of it, you just cant get them, I have no idea what the hold up is, hopefully that will change soon. Price wise they are about £1600 + VAT approx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 car is awesome and under bonnet looks great too. look forward to seeing it in the flesh again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price wise they are about £1600 + VAT approx. Last I heard it was a problem with the quality of the turbine housing castings and the yield was very low so they were in the middle of qualifying a new supplier.

Price wise they are about £1600 + VAT approx. Well get it bolted on and power it up. In the media splurge they go on about throwing away the book on turbo design and approaching the design as if a new concept. Will be interesting to see how it compares to a "standard" turbo design of the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 I also got it out of my garage at home for the first time since October, fitted some new rear Toyo R888 tyres and MOT'd, it passed no problem of course. Cant wait to give it some stick at the weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
