ok guys just picked myself up an xr6t. now i was under the impression that the rear exhaust wheel was steel but the one i have here is what looks to be ceramic. Now before you say anything this is definitely an xr6 turbo, it has an a/r of .50 and internally gated with a rear exhaust housing of 1.06. It has the ford badge thing stamped on the exhaust housing and has Garrett and M12 stamped on the front compressor housing. It is also brand new, never been used!

Can anyone explain? Did any come out with a ceramic wheeled exhaust housing?

It should be using the standard GT3540R cartridge which is CHRA 706451-5 . That Turbine housing is a one off design Ford had made specifically for that turbocharger . What colour is the turbine that makes you think its ceramic ?

Cheers A .

The reason i think its ceramic is because it looks the same as my vg30 exhaust wheel and doesn't feel or sound like steel when you touch it.

Are you sure its never been used?

Octane booster can cause a turbine wheel to yellow/orange up a little, making it look ceramic.

Let me have a look, I'll be able to see if it really is ceramic. :)

i've got the turbo sitting here in front of me and the more i look at it and tap it with things the more i think it is actually steel, i think the thing that was getting me confused i guess is where the blades start there quite thick and just don't really look steel.

The guy i got the turbo off said he might be able to get a couple more if u got the cash and are interested.

Was used on a demo car so has a slight discolouration, so i'm doubting any octane boost has been used

hrmm... I lack the funds at the moment.

I have ~half of it now, should be able to get another half for it in another few weeks. (poor uni student). :)

Looks like the valve springs won't be going in yet. Priorities.

      I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.

      Tomei gasket

      Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.

      And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
