Totally off topic, but one of the interns that work at my company says that you're in risk management and insurance. Fact? lol

thanks a lot - she's a work in progress, though

i think your intern has me confused. shoot me a PM. i'm curious to hear if i know the person. thanks!

I daily drive an evo with twinscroll Internal-WG EFR, the powerband is just like you describe. The car is so well mannered at light throttle and low load with A/C blasting in the arizona desert (very OE feeling) the internal WG and integrated BOV are simple and un-obtrusive... it's hard to believe that top end is so nasty and violent - a true jekyll/hide. I daily drive on 275/35/R18 BFG R1 Slicks, and it still can spin all 4 tires

I love your attitude if you wanted to try some other turbos out let me know, i can give you an idea of what fits easily for back to back testing. looking forwards to seeing some vids!

Now that you've tweaked around, do you think it would be possible to do some sort of dyno sheet? Or was the one a few posts above your final one? I'm curious!

I can understand if you werent able to wait, its been a long and frustrating period of time for us! we have received information indicating that we are on-track for late august/early sept for EFR's to resume shippnig. we'll see what happens..

[Layvon]

How many back orders do you guys have to fulfill before you're at a positive balance?

[monkiboy]

thanks for your input geoff; glad you found the thread.

i certainly do, i sent you an email!

[Full-Race Geoff]

layvon - we are releasing our EFR stock location (TMIC compatible) turbo kit for the subarus first.

monkiboy - hit you back!

[wrxsubiemod]

Yes...

[Layvon]

Neat on the FMIC compatible. Makes me a feel a little better knowing that I changed it up, I really wanted an EFR, but couldn't take the guessing games any longer. Maybe for the next build there will be something new to try.

Monkiboy,
I know this thread is more about your engine/turbo build but what are your wheel and tire specs? I thought you were on 265/35/18 but don't remember exactly.
And what camber did you have to run to get them to fit without rubbing?

[monkiboy]

hi qwaktastik. thanks for the questions. wheels are 18x9.5 +44 and you got the tire specs exactly right. i initially ran 18x9.5 +35, then +38, and now the +44. initially i still had my mudguard's front sections. after a few autoxs they began wearing down and i just cut that portion away. i am rolled and pulled front and rear. i never had issues with rubbing at my ride height. i'm usually around 14" front, 13.5" rear. only time i do rub is on-course on hard fast turns and i forgot to change my damping on the coils. feel free to ask any other questions.

[QwaktastiK]

The only other thing is the camber specs?

Man, I can't believe you fit 265 star specs on there without rubbing. I know you mentioned your ride height but dang.

I'm hoping to run 265/35/18 but in a less aggressive tire (Sumitomo HTZIII), as such will measure closer to 265's compared to yours. For reference, I'm on RCE yellows (might be switching to blacks) and GTWorx/Bilsteins.

Thanks for your reply. You're one of the only narrow body guys I know running 265's. I remember Subykid did, but I don't think he's on here much anymore.

[monkiboy]

i've played around with a few camber specs. i think initially with the setup i was at -2.1 front and rear. then for a more performance oriented setup i went to -2.5F and -1.8R and now i've been pretty happy with -3.0F and -1.3R. the rears never rubbed. the fronts maybe it's just been that long (3 years) and i don't remember but if i ever did anything it was just trimming the mud guard where it made contact that is also because i was running a good bit more caster, too.

yeah the star specs do run more like a 275 given it's contact patch, you are right.

and you're exactly right. on the narrowbody there is only so much you can do. i wanted to go a bit wider but there's only so much room on the 08s hence the need for custom widebody. that and just for kicks.

feel free to let me know if you have any questions. glad to help!

yeahhhhhh...you gotta give yourself at least a month or two of an expectation buffer with BW. but whenever they do come in, it'll be awesome to see more results on the forums!

[Full-Race Geoff]

bump for your thread, which should be in proven power maybe put a new one up comparing your 7064 to the new 7670 after you swap?

certainly, will be nice to have the comparison.

speaking of, any idea on delivery of the 7670?

[Full-Race Geoff]

we have (15) of the 8374 twinscroll IWG on the way, expecting to get our 7670 update next tuesday - i will keep you posted sir!

[monkiboy]

ok, if i don't hear from you i'll be sure to email/call. thanks.

[monkiboy]

heard from geoff and was told my turbo was at the powder coaters early last week and due for delivery by monday, tomorrow.

fantastic!

then realized he was talking about the IWG turbos and i ordered a EWG and it'll be a couple weeks yet.

gotta love the roller coaster emotions with these BW EFRs, haha.

thanks geoff for keeping me in the loop and i'll hold you to that photo of the turbo with my PO on it!

[Coop1103]

I feel ya brother...you know I was there a month ago. I'm almost all ready to go. Tune is next Monday. Looking forward to your updates!

[kellygnsd]

Good luck to both of yall. You will love the 7670 Monki. I can't put in to words how bad ass this thing is and how much more it will be when I turn it up.

if it's anything like the 7064 with a bit more "umph" up top, i will soil my pants every time i drive, i am sure. i'm so happy for you man. sucks about the ill-fitting fullrace parts but i'm sure you'll get it worked out with your shop. can't wait for you to build that motor and watch your car fly, haha!
