STM Ricer 2011 Rebuild Picture Thread
I'm with you Mike, nobody cares about "head-gasket-blowing-racing". Billion dollar budget to go and prove a point in an amateur sport of Time Attack racing, impressive.....not. FR and and the amateur tuner from Cosworth is what directed them to BW and with the ego's involved I'd guess the numerous print adds with the car helped out too. I can't stand them, pretty obvious.
Runthat, your lack of any knowledge stands out in your offering to do back to back testing on two different sized turbos and the fact that you are NOT going to be able to just test turbos back to back, the BW stuff doesn't bolt to any T3 based identical headers. IF they did I'd have already had the turbos in here and done the testing.

Oh, and as far as your statement about my offer to test the PTE and EFR turbos back-to-back and the EFR's inability to bolt up to any T3 based headers. Correct me if I am wrong here, but the turbo I am waiting on, the EFR 9180 is a 67mm turbo and comes in 3 varieties, one of which being a T3, .83 a/r, SINGLESCROLL. Now, why CAN'T that bolt up to the same header/manifold used for a PTE T3 turbo? Granted, even though the EFR is a 67mm turbo, the turbine wheel is 80mm. 6mm larger than the PTE 6765. So yes, they aren't quite the same size, although they are close, maybe even close enough for comparison testing. Idk, nor care much.
And raiceboi697, nut-swing much?

Far from it, but I respect the opinion of someone actually has done/acomplished something over some kid who has never built a evo and just has the bankroll to do it. Are you going to drive your car in what ever event your building for or are you gonna have someone else do it for you?
Oh, i see!!! You are talking about fitment issues with the internal WG's! AHHHH! Ok, so the issue isn't the ability to bolt up to the header/manifold per se, but the fact that the big *** hot-side requires you to change up your dp, etc.

Well you make yours, I can make mine. Beauty of the interwebs :-) now I'm just waiting for my invite to come to the shore and settle this "face to face". With the cost of gas these days I'm sure Mayberry and I should carpool.
Be my guest! You're def invited too! If you need address, I already PM'd it to Mayberry. Let's see if you e-thug nut swingers show up.
best of luck this year, I got other stuff to do besides driving to new yorks trash can on the weekend.
Cant wait to the the Ricer finished! and BTW its getting a little hostile in this thread!
