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.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
