Speedtech EFR 8374 on e84 X1

No problem, glad I could help! That sounds like a good purchase to me, but i'm biased, haha!!

Hmm it'll be fun making a fast N55 Car, unsuspecting for sure.

@nyt - If I recall correctly, I took this screenshot from one of your threads. If so, did you have Speedtech's water pump relacation bracket installed? I'm curious if the water pump position in this pic is stock location, or shifted over via the speedtech bracket. Any details you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That's with the bracket, it moves it forward an inch or so.

Okay, that's good to know, Thanks!!

I decided to take the plunge. Just ordered a Speedtech external gate, no turbo, recirculation wastegate kit. Also got a cheap used n55 head & block and engine stand for mock up. I'll buy my own EFR 8374, and use the cheap block to work out my alterations.

Happy to hear it

There's a gap between the valve seat and stem on the wastegate, is this normal? I didn't take it apart yet, maybe they prop it open slightly for shipping?

There’s a ring that goes in the gap. Comes with the wastegate.

Gotcha, thanks! I'll take another look, must be in the box under the springs.

So sir wheela, Where's the update

 

[wheela]

Two weeks ago full race recieved some aluminum housing EFR 8374's, so I emailed right away for an update. They were supposed to receive the iron core versions last week, and I should get an auto email with tracking info as soon as my order ships. But still no tracking info???

I hate to be a pest, but I want to email them again - I keep getting marketing emails from them trying to get me to buy an efr 8374, but I already did back in May!!! Where's my turbooooooooo!!!!
