Good luck with that turbo Abe, i've just been recommended a 3076 with .6 rear. Reckons it'll be good for 280rwkw!

Got off the phone to hypergear and he said that would be enough to go about 320rwkw or so....for something like 260-280 he recommended a AT28G2 or something similar to a GT2871R for response and good hard hitting power

Pretty sure the XR6t rears are a 1.06 housing, being a 4ltr motor. I'd be dropping it to a .83 or .6, depending on how you want response to be

Response even from a 0.83 will be laggy as f**k considering the stock ones are 0.48 or something

dont quote me on those figures Dave.....thats what i have just been told so.....not my own findings and i have f**k all clue when it comes to turbos but others that know there shit will know the figures around it.....

Yeah Simon @ Morpowa said it would be pretty crazy, but with the smaller .6 rear response wont be too bad! Wish i had of grabbed the one in the for sale thread. Pump and injectors for me first i think.

Hmmmm and they're on my shopping list too Dale!

On a brighter note, got some cf eyebrows off ebay. Picked them up and both are cracked! Seller is sending 2 more out tomorrow and i get to keep the fecked ones! :)

Thanks, ill let you know how i go with this.

is that a 1.06 rear housing Abe?

No, its a .8X (its a 0.8 something)

and run an external gate*. that pissy little internal has trouble coping.

*with a big f**k off screamer pipe.

As much as i would like to, no. It going on my daily.

well, external gate is going to be a minimum. seriously. that tiny little internal gate has trouble properly handling the boost.

*correction, smaller turbine housing, might just get away with it.

i got the same ones i reckon.. on didnt fit, and cracked, got new one, sent the wrong one, got new one, still didnt fit right.. cbf afterwards.

there shit!

Yeah, i just picked mine up, hoped on the for sale and saw the same turbo for $1800, i could have saved money....oh well.

The turbo i got is running a 12psi actuator, and according to my research - browsing here and looking at Lithium, Mafia, and Cube's posts, they recommend the 0.8 rear housing. They also said that there is boost control issues, but that only really happens with the non genuine Garrett housings. The rear housing on mine says Garrett, and has 0.8 stamped in the exhaust input :S

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
