yeah our webguy is seriously slacking. he has to get a boot in the ass for taking this long... my apologies. i promise you we have worked wayyy too hard on this conversion kit to abandon it! Also seeing how cheap some gtr clips have been going for lately really makes doing a build like this that much more attainable

niteridaz503 · 08-06-2010, 09:56 AM

Glad to see you guys still moving forward with the kits & GL with the sales process seems like you have alot of people interested man.

FullRaceGeoff · 08-06-2010, 01:26 PM

thanks, the hardest part was redesigning the welded-on components so that an end user could install easily. The frame rails, trans mt and double wishbone conversion used to be built one-by-one on the car. Now, the end user cleans the surface (preps for MIG welding) bolts in those items, and then lays some beads down. a LOT less work this way

I have also been watching and waiting patiently. I think there are plenty of other lurkers keeping an eye on this as well.

nachos14 · 09-24-2010, 04:30 AM

nice build. saw this car at sema show years ago. even have a poster up in my shop. good work guys

tinys s14 · 09-25-2010, 01:41 AM

wow sickest s14 EVERRR.

ETHANOLED SR · 09-25-2010, 02:10 AM

This car is amazing in every way!!! The Full Race team has got R&D in the box and on top of everyone else. Great car, great products, and great car enthusiasts!!! Subscribed!

Why didn't I see this thread before?

fckillerbee · 09-29-2010, 07:08 PM

absolutely amazing read...all 8 pages. Amazing video...great way to end it with the smoke coming in the cabin....it's amazing to see the fire come through the (shift boot)something while you were looking out the door....and then you opened the door..and fire everywhere...amazing.

great build...absolutely amazing....my mouth has been catching fly's for 45 minutes.

WOW, ridiculous! Looks pretty perfect

Could you elaborate on how you control the torque split manually? You just regulate oil pressure to the transfer case or somethin?

Good luck in the time attack. Looks like the competition is pretty tough but i'm rooting for ya!

hey guys - sorry there havent been any updates. We've been absolutely SWAMPED with r&d work since the new BorgWarner EFR turbos have been in development. Its taken away all of my free time that I could normally spend on my R14, but worth every minute. if you have a spare minute check out some of the turbo technology here:

BorgWarner EFR Turbos | Full-Race.com

This week we head to SEMA in Las Vegas and as soon as we get back ill be back on the R14 website and how-to writeup. And then the R14 will be back on the track with the EFR 8374 turbo

irritatedmax · 10-27-2010, 10:19 PM

I just read through the entire EFR page. Holy cow. That looks awesome. Any chance you have a 1JZ-GTE (VVTi version) manifold in the works? Haha. This would be an awesome DD/weekend drifter setup!

Can't wait to hear more.

turbo2nr · 10-28-2010, 07:38 AM

wow intresting turbo ! finally time some one re-invented the wheel, lots of cool features lots of technology in this.

so whats the price point looking like, when is it available to the public?

im assuming if it fits on a sr20 w/ twin scroll mai, it should also fit on a ka-t?

really looking forward to see dyno comp. on this!

Godchsr · 10-30-2010, 08:41 PM

Very sweet read!

You're in Phoenix right? You fill up your cars at QuikTrip right? lol

Stoked to see the new EFR turbo on the dyno and the track! Let us know when you get the pricing finished on those R14 kits.

glad to hear you guys are excited! The amount of attention and interest that we saw at SEMA was unreal. A lot of people are really excited for the new turbo tech that BorgWarner is bringing to the table. there is a great video on the EFR background if you are bored:

YouTube - EFR Turbo Series from BorgWarner Turbo Systems

LOL, Ive gone to the quiktrip on university often since its right around the corner from Full-Race. Recently we got an E85 station on our street

1 block away from the shop, we I have only been taking the beaters for regular gasoline. all the turbo cars here have been switching over to E85

we rarely get requests for the 1JZ manifolds/turbokits but if you are serious and we can get a few more people we can do it. Typically we will require an initial order of (10) manifolds. The EFR turbos really have a huge benefit becuase they make the manifolds much less expensive. The Wastegate ports are actually the most time consuming and labor intensive part of the manifold fabrication

We are finally finishing up the details on the R14 conversions, and it looks like pricing will be $4800. That includes everything needed for the swap except your S14 and the donor GTR clip

Wow, this is a lot cheaper than I was expecting. Nice job!

Waiting for EFR dyno...

ross.cottrill · 11-23-2010, 05:40 AM

nathanong87 · 11-29-2010, 07:14 AM

incredible....

PoorMans180SX · 12-22-2010, 08:27 AM

Any dyno time yet?

howyfeltersnatch · 01-22-2011, 02:13 PM

so whats the car been up to since?

FullRaceGeoff · 02-02-2011, 09:26 PM

the car is undergoing surgery... again. Currently she is getting a carbonetic rear LSD, sunroof is going away, Kognition rear wing will be installed, and a diet all the way around. Id like to pull 200 lbs out, so there is a lot of work to do!

the big fun is the EFR 8374 w/ 42mm dual internal wastegate

by removing the 2 wastegates, dumptubes and WG ports, that was a big chunk of weight and complexity just disappeared

turbo2nr · 02-03-2011, 07:56 AM

dual internal wastegate you say?? 0_o

must explain with pictures please! just curious to how the turbine housing will look.

Sleepy_Steve · 02-03-2011, 08:36 AM

What kinda weight numbers are you trying to get down to with it? 2400lbs wet and ready to race?

FullRaceGeoff · 02-04-2011, 12:45 PM

The car we had in the BorgWarner SEMA booth was a Full-Race equipped R34 GTR w/ EFR 8374 .92 a/r twinscroll and 42mm dual internal wastegate. The car is running well on 91 octane right now and the owner is absolutely blown away by the powerband. This is his 3rd R34 GTR, all have been extremely modified - and he said none of them have been anything like this. some photos from: http://autoholics.com/2010/11/05/Bor...o-Power-305516

^^^^^the header is of course a Full-Race twinscroll, but without wastegate ports saves $400

and video (it sounds amazing):

here are some photos to explain:

this gate works really well - and saves a lot of $$ -- (2) wastegates, (2) 1.5" dumptubes, (4) stainless flanges, (4) vband clamps and a shit load of work/weight/complexity

to be honest, the RB engines and driveline are sooo heavy compared to the typical SR setups, i think i can get my street car down to 2900 (power windows, radio/speakers, etc). I am slowly working on my racecar to reach 2500, but it wont be ready for a track until 2012. need to get the street car where im content with it before i can focus 100% on the race car

turbo2nr · 02-04-2011, 02:14 PM

hmm very interesting.. so all this dual wastegate design will work just as well as two 38/44 mm wastegates??

curious what about lower boost pressure say 10-14psi.. is its stil as efficient??

so the way it works is that it expell's exhaust gasses from both ends of the twinsrcoll?

or is it two ports one for each scroll?

FullRaceGeoff · 02-04-2011, 04:08 PM

On a twinscroll setup you really dont want mixing between cylinders, thats how twinscroll spools so fast; there is less header volume and no negative interactions between exhaust events.

The way the EFR internal wastegate works is one port for each scroll -- the object is to keep the flow paths completely divided for maximum efficiency. It works well at all boost levels, 10psi to 30psi
