Full-Race Turbo R18 Honda Civic EX - powered by BorgWarner EFR 6255 turbo

CRAZY! Can't believe you guys are pulling that much power out of this lil motor with such minimal mods.

Question -> how difficult would it be for the garage mechanic to mod this motor, since it's in such a confined engine bay? Seems like you'd have to pull the motor to install the injectors!?

[purvertedmunk]

what would be the best setup for time attack events?

[Athens2k4]

do you proceed into the phase 2 with a larger turbo on r18 ?

[DeepFriedPotato]

any chance of this working on fd1's?

[silversn4ke]

oh my dear lord... this EFR really is the business... i could hear it spooling from IDLE! ive got to get my hands on one.

What is the boost pressure achieved in this stage 1 set up? If the boost controller is disconnected, is the boost pressure regulated directly by the diaphragm?

255whp is good, what's the baseline of this engine in stock form?

[FullRaceVids]

@cplim72 boost pressure is 9psi, rising to 10psi for a minute, then back to 9psi. Regulated by the diaphragm with 2mm of preload on the wastegate canister. Boost would be 7-8psi with 0.5-1mm preload (you always want a tiny bit of preload). fuel used is poor grade arizona 91 octane pump gas. this engine stock produces 113whp

@FullRaceVids what do you think of using hondata? good for $700 price?

Friggin AWESOME! BW ftw doesn't matter what car its in.

[nycclaye]

and it's bc of this, that my 07 Si has an FR Mani and a GT3076 now lol. I'll be damned if an ex can catch me lol.

is this internally wastegated? didnt hear the good stuff?

[XxRuffRydaxX]

@markb16a the standard wastegate is at 42mm. For internal it's huge and you would be a fool to change to external just for the sound alone. It's always interesting to see turbos on V-Tec setups but I personally believe the V-Tec is more suited for a supercharger than a turbocharger. V-Tec doesn't like too much boost and a supercharger would have more power to play trhought the entire band, although the EFR is very responsive.

@XxRuffRydaxX vtec doesnt like boost? go watch some videos with real honda motors the R18 is garbage. K-series ftw.

[FullRaceVids]

only doing low boost testing - boost controller disconnected.  also the smallest EFR turbo in the family... 255whp to start

[Athens2k4]

How mutch power ? does it pass the 200whp with this setup ?

OOOOOh, so long I have waited for this!!!
