Awesome explanations of the compressor map and differences between the the two types of housings for the 7163, I had read in one of the comments section from another video of yours that you could offer a different compressor for the 7163 to take it all the way to 650hp capable. A video on this would be very interesting, especially if not much response is lost in the process. Also I was wondering how you could get the benefits of using the larger a/r 7163 on an engine other than the EA888, I understand the your swirl adapter plays a large part in increasing the response of the turbo with the larger .85 a/r compared to the twin scroll .80.
Ryan we do offer larger wheel BUT IT MUST be used together with the AR85 turbine housing with the lower backpressure in order to make the higher power. its simply a larger inducer(up from 57mm to 59mm) and exducer (up from 71mm to 76mm)

@@strokerz2858 Great question, and one i et often related to AR's.... always remember the AR digit itself means nothing in determining the size of the housing - the AR relates to the family of housings.

When planning a build - you dont buy a turbo to mate your manifold - you buy or build the manifold to suit the correct turbo setup. The AR92 is too large for the engine if response is what you need. The 7163 with T4 turbine housing is too small, and will generate massive amounts of heat o such a large engine above 0.8-1.0bar gauge pressure.

Check the compressor maps between these two turbos and you will see the 7163 actually produces more power. The compressor wheel is a very different size between these two turbos, and the turbine wheel for some reason is 1mm larger on the inducer side with the 7064. You will see the 7163 actually produces 50HP more than the 7064.
@@natebass1482 Where there is a lower backpressure, you want to increase the compressor flow capacity, which is not the case with the 7064 - Borg have switched to a smaller compressor entirely. It will spool fast, but in my opinion for most applications 1600 - 2400cc 4cyl engines the 7163 with its housing options work well across the range of anything 500HP up to 600HP. For a larger engine say 3000 V6 2valve per cyl - the 7064 would work well with the larger (less responsive) turbine housings.

Something is wrong - the turbo will not smoke on its own. The drain must either be blocked, and/or not directed downward for gravity to drain the oil, or the ID is too small, or you have blow by in the cylinders, or the oil level is too high, or a breather is blocked. If you seeing oil "pulling" through the air filter intake, then the filter could be too restrictive..... Start with these common areas and work your way through.
@@fred_b_360 The pressure system was compromised - which prevented the oil from draining back into the block/sump -- back to basics..... Glad you found the problem - well done
I have an A5 CDNC (EA888.2) what turbo/exhaust manifold would you recommend hope to be in the 500 WHP range, has been difficult to find options for longitudinal mounting in my case.
Thanks for the question. Im not familiar with this engine code specifically, but for this HP output and for the best streetable response nothing beats the EFR7163. Its small enough to install into tight geography, and will spool faster than any other turbo in its class. This turbo produces 550WHP on the EA888.3 engines.
@@TurboDirectSA is basically the 211cv ea888 gen 2 but as most of the offerings are for transverse mount engine would like to know if there is any exhaust manifold that could work on a longitudinal mounted ea888 that I have
Great information! What would your thoughts be on an EFR7163 for a VVTi - 1JZ, stock camshafts and e85, for a drift application. I was originally planning on a Garrett g30 - 660 or 770. Thanks.
Dont waste your time on Garrett- the 7163 will outspool the G30 series easily, and with the AR85 Vband turbine housing the turbo will make 500-550WHP easily. If this falls into your HP category its the best option - it runs cooler, slower and makes the claimed power.
Wow man,ive driving turbo diesls or 3.5 twin turbos since the 90s and realize i know squat. What a wealth of knowledge you are sir. Pardon but damit boy am i just understanding that i cant buy from you me being in the us????
@@TurboDirectSA I have a 7163 EFR on a 1jz/vvti and only saw 402hp @5800 altitude my tuner says I'm out of turbo so unfortunately it did not make rated hp
Thank you for great information. some companies make turbine manifold with A/R 0.64 for the EFR7163, specially for Golf MK6R. From your experience can I still get 550-580 hp on this turbine housing? and how much horse power can I make with this turbine housing. Thanks
Thanks for the comment Mohamed, there is no reason to manufacture such a small AR for this turbo because it spools so fast as it is - ASSUMING that this is an AR64 in the same T28 family volute. If so, then you will definitely lose power ontop and you will see an ESTIMATE (tuning dependant, boost, hardware mods, fuel, etc) of around 30-50HP less.
@@TurboDirectSA Thanks clear enough, one last question please, what if the turbine housing is 0.7 a/r. how much horse power I'll be losing ? We are talking about EA113 TFSI engine , it's not as good as EA888 gen3 engine, which its cylinder head efficiency is way better than the EA113. Thanks
@@mdorgham Its impossible to say - as mentioned before the HP depends on the engines ability to "process" the incoming flow from the turbo. Thats why VE is the most important aspect of plotting a compressor map. I wouldn't use any other AR housings other than the Borg offering even on the EA113 engine - they are more than adequate to spool fast and they are matched to the rotating assembly.
@@shandyellis-brown8091 The PT7675 is journal bearing, and the EFR are all dual ball bearing.

@@ebotas If the head design is the same as the EA888.3 then you can use the Swirl Adapter :- ruclips.net/video/y6PA_Xc0feI/видео.html
Building a 408 LS stroker and want to run twin turbos. What do you recommend?
Thanks for the comment - what HP target? Street car, drag, circuit?
About 1500.
@@TurboDirectSA drag only hopefully
Great information! What would your thoughts be on an EFR7163 for a VVTi - 1JZ, stock camshafts and e85, for a drift application. I was originally planning on a Garrett g30 - 660 or 770. Thanks.
Dont waste your time on Garrett- the 7163 will outspool the G30 series easily, and with the AR85 Vband turbine housing the turbo will make 500-550WHP easily. If this falls into your HP category its the best option - it runs cooler, slower and makes the claimed power.
Awesome, thank you very much!
@@JWB.engineer Pleasure sir
Wow man,ive driving turbo diesls or 3.5 twin turbos since the 90s and realize i know squat. What a wealth of knowledge you are sir. Pardon but damit boy am i just understanding that i cant buy from you me being in the us????
@@TurboDirectSA I have a 7163 EFR on a 1jz/vvti and only saw 402hp @5800 altitude my tuner says I'm out of turbo so unfortunately it did not make rated hp
Thank you for great information. some companies make turbine manifold with A/R 0.64 for the EFR7163, specially for Golf MK6R. From your experience can I still get 550-580 hp on this turbine housing? and how much horse power can I make with this turbine housing. Thanks
Thanks for the comment Mohamed, there is no reason to manufacture such a small AR for this turbo because it spools so fast as it is - ASSUMING that this is an AR64 in the same T28 family volute. If so, then you will definitely lose power ontop and you will see an ESTIMATE (tuning dependant, boost, hardware mods, fuel, etc) of around 30-50HP less.
@@TurboDirectSA Thanks clear enough, one last question please, what if the turbine housing is 0.7 a/r. how much horse power I'll be losing ?
We are talking about EA113 TFSI engine , it's not as good as EA888 gen3 engine, which its cylinder head efficiency is way better than the EA113. Thanks
@@mdorgham Its impossible to say - as mentioned before the HP depends on the engines ability to "process" the incoming flow from the turbo. Thats why VE is the most important aspect of plotting a compressor map.
I wouldn't use any other AR housings other than the Borg offering even on the EA113 engine - they are more than adequate to spool fast and they are matched to the rotating assembly.

Great channel! Subscribed!
Thank you !!
which efr series would work well on stroked 5.3 ls?
Depending on what HP target - there are a a variety of different Airwerks options for you.
@@TurboDirectSA is the efr 7670 or 8474 comparable to the precision 7675 ?
@@shandyellis-brown8091 The PT7675 is journal bearing, and the EFR are all dual ball bearing. The 7675 is a cast compressor wheel, the EFR are top of the line products, the precision product cannot hold a candle to the EFR range. None of the precision turbochargers have burst containment tested end housings, BorgWarner does. Reliability, boost response and the overall feature list on the EFR range is light years ahead of precision.
@@TurboDirectSA yes, ok, which efr is comparable to the size of the 7675, or better yet suggest to me a efr that's good for 1000-1200 hp? for a stroked 5.3 ls.....looking to 1/8th mile this ls,
ive used precisions dbb gen 2's on my buicks for years, but watching your series on the efr,, im really interested in running one of these!
i just see how dealer-companys adjust results and dyno and nothing more, dyno numbers can be wrong
Many do this, we have no reason to be dishonest.
@@TurboDirectSA so because im saying dyno is nothing, for example 450 whp can beat 600 whp car, because second car have a wrong tyres, so for what need a dyno numbers if logic is not directly? i mean perfomance-logic
Good info for a noob like me
efr7670 can produce 650 whp?! come on, it is not true, it 62 lb/min turbo only
The EFR7163 has produced 550WHEEL HP on our dyno on an EA888.3 - it is rated to 54lb/min. We have seen these results in person on a handful of dynamometers around the country.
The EFR7670 will produce the goods - wait and see, an install is coming up soon.
@@TurboDirectSA no matter dyno numbers, it means nothing
@@TurboDirectSA what engine? and what about 100-200 dynamic 550 whp in 7163?
@@Arss-ast Dyno numbers mean as much as lb/min air flow numbers - clear proof of the results.
@@Arss-ast Watch the video - it clearly mentioned EA888.3 - times from 100-200kmh with the EFR7163 are freely available on APR web page - why dont you go take a look, they using the same turbocharger on their bolt on kit.
