The ZFR spools as fast as the K04, possibly slightly faster. You have to remember that spool time and boost threshold are two different things. If you went wot at 4500 RPM, the ZFR would spool faster than the K04, but the K04 might start spooling at 1600 RPM, where the ZFR needs to be above 2000 rpm, for example. Those aren't exact numbers, just an explanation.

It's a bw efr6758 with a custom turbine housing that bolts to the stock manifold and o2 housing. They also had to develop the pieces for wastegate control because the stock efr stuff didn't work in our application.

We have been selling them, but not to the general public. They are still being tested since we can't get the efr part in high quantity yet anyway.
The thing that I don't like about a lot of people's attitude is that we never said anything about releasing these when I first posted about it. The thread was simply a post to say hey, check out these EFR turbos and look what they can do on an LNF, and look what we did in order to bolt one on. I had no idea the demand would be so high for them, but since it was, we went through the normal process of design, manufacture, test, modify, manufacture, test, test, test some more, mass produce, test some more, and now we are coming to the point where they will soon be available. Simply manufacturing something quickly that sort of bolts up and performs alright was not an option for us. We wanted to do this the right way.

Still not enough. Ive spent $5k + and still about to add another $1k for cams in the next week maybe 2 at most. Plus ill need a built block shortly... and that stage 2 transmission....
I think if i lived in IL it would be different, i could just hassle them in person for cam phasers, more aggressive cams, prototype parts. :p I am more than willing to blow **** up in the pursuit of power.

Since Matt showed us the exhaust housing during the LNF meet - it's worth the wait guys..
IMO - I rather wait for a fully functional product that's been fully tested from every single aspect, I think no one would want to purchase a product that's not been fully tested to the extremes?? Look at Borg Warner they tested the snot out of EFR before ever speaking a word of it, and that testing cycle took 14+ months.. just think - these guys where testing, arguably one of the top ten turbos of all times and nobody ever knew a 1 year ago.. and look at it now, that turbo is winning awards in every country in the world..
Matt, Ryan & Zoom are doing this the right way, they want to make sure this product is solid - period. And after speaking with Matt & Zoom, the future looks great for us, they are going places [huge shop], in the future they are going to design & build more solid products that will push the ECOtec platform to new heights.. trust me.
