How much would you be looking for the RB25 PFC?

I didn't put up any prices for any of the other stuff because I haven't had time to research the prices of new or second hand gear from other sources yet. But since people have a habit of replying saying "you can get product X for $Y" when people post a too-high price, I will say $1500 for both. I know that's too high, so when someone replies with a source that is cheaper, I will drop the price accordingly :) Otherwise wait until tomorrow and I'll look up prices and get back to you.

These things need to go, I'll take $1700 for turbo and manifold. Or make an offer if this is still too much.

JimX. What are the specs for this turbo? is this the Garret 35R? what rear housing?

It is the standard XR6T turbo, which is 0.50A/R front and 1.06A/R (I think) rear. The rear housing is the only internal wastegate housing at present for the GT35 so far as I know, and made specifically for Ford by Garrett, hence the "Ford" badge stamped into the rear. I believe Garrett are releasing their own internal wastegate housings soon for various bigger turbos. PM Discopotato for more info on that, he's the resident Garrett expert :D

I have heard rumours that the compressor is smaller than the "normal" GT3540R, but I have also heard someone refute that rumour. I have measuring calipers at home and can measure front and back wheels tonight if you like. The compressor housing is definitely smaller than the normal GT3540R (which is 0.7 A/R) but the reason I bought it was because it was going on my RB25 and the smaller housing would have reduced lag. I wasn't chasing more than 300rwkw so I wouldn't need the bigger 0.7 front.

Hello

how much for the injectors,cam gear & coil packs

thanks champ

Only the injectors from those 3 things are currently available and I'm asking $500. Sorry for not updating my original post, I'll do that now to save confusion.

Easy 500-600hp+. It's a Garrett ball bearing turbo with steel wheels so it should hold 25-30psi easily, with a higher sprung wastegate actuator. I believe there are Falcon owners getting 400rwkw out of these turbos, but check the XR6T forums for details. It will make an easy 300rwkw+ on an RB25, which is what I was aiming for.

Do you think it will go alright on an RB26?

Well, I was going to put it on an RB25 (the manifold I got is for an RB25 if you want to see proof of that :)), so the RB26 can only go better. Fatz put one on his RB26, check out his thread about it: XR6T turbo on RB26. In fact I had a good read of this thread before deciding to buy the turbo. My old T3/4 doesn't hit full boost (1 bar) until about 4800 anyway so I was already used to driving a lag monster.

This was going to be my ultimate cheapass upgrade until I suddenly had to get rid of my car :P I was going to get all the required parts, turbo, manifold, oil/water lines, and weld up my own intake and front pipe mods, for just about spot on $2000 or maybe a bit over depending on how much steel tubing I'd need for the exhaust. Which I didn't think was too bad considering that Ford sell the same turbo for around $3k and similar big turbos with external wastegate retail for around $1700+, if it's a cheap price. I don't think my price is too bad if you want to do the same upgrade path as was going to, I am probably going to lose money on this in the end (I'm barely covering my costs at $1650).

Hey,

I think you might have what i'm looking for. I live in parra so i'm not too far from you. Just a question... Would this turbo be too much for an RB20 to handle? And what is the inlet flange size? If it can go on you reckon i could pop by n take a look at it sumtime soon?

Thanks

I think it wouldn't hit boost on an RB20 until over 5000. I don't think anyone's put one on an RB20 yet but if you want to be a pioneer you can try.

Inlet flange is T3

Bump with a bit of info.

Capa have a kit for an RB20/25, which consists of a GT35/40R, wastegate, manifold, dump/front pipe, gaskets, and oil/water lines. pic of kit

The differences are:

1. Capa uses the 0.70 A/R front for their GT35, but probably a smaller A/R rear than the XR6T turbo (not specified on the site). Both turbos are going to lag somewhat, but the larger rear/smaller front turbo will probably have slightly less lag and more top end than the other. Whatever the case, Capa don't think that this turbo is too laggy for use on an RB20. (they may be wrong though but for their asking price I'm sure they'll be happy to sell it to anyone)

2. Capa's manifold is most likely better quality manifold than the one I'm selling. But mine still seems to be of quite decent quality and is reinforced. The Ebay auction I bought it from said it was SS321 stainless, which is the better grade for turbo manifolds (better heat resistance). I've got no way of confirming that though because I'm not a metalurgist.

3. Capa's kit includes oil and water lines but I hadn't bought them yet. Horsepowerinabox have a set for $260 or $285 depending on if you want braided or not.

4. Capa's kit is an external wastegate setup. Mine is internal, but there are plenty of people that are getting big numbers out of this internal setup. For mild street use on the cheap, I think this setup is really good value. That's why I bought it!

5. Capa want $6226 for their kit. It is no doubt better than what I'm selling, but consider that even if you throw in the price of oil/water lines, you get almost the same setup for under $2000. Even if you ditch the Ebay manifold and get a proper Japanese one for $1000, it's still under half the price for the equivalent setup. I never said this was perfect, but I think it is damned cheap for what it is.

I look at this turbo sitting in the box and I keep wishing I could have put it on my car. If I could keep my car I would love to install it and write a mega post about it but unfortunately my car needs to be sold fairly soon. If I don't get a decent enough offer on the turbo though, in a year or 2 I would like to buy another GTS-t and put this turbo on it.

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
