Hi all , been looking into this as a convienent way to get a modern affordable (?) turbo for RB's . It has an integral waste gate with I think GT35 84 trim turbine and possibly 82 or 1.06 housing . The compressor (GT40) trim I don't know but could be 50,52,56T , and uses a .50 AR compressor cover . Ford claims 240Kw and the aftermarket are I think up around 280-300 . For those who want an OEM appearing turbo capable of serious power it could be the answer . Can anyone tell me what the wheel trims are and the exhaust housing AR . I have a part no I'll post later which is either the unit or CHRA number .

Cheers A .

discopotato03,

I have one it in my R33, but with a .82 exhuast housing (integral waste gate). You can buy from Garrett a GT3540 (Same spec. to the Ford GT3540), but the compressor cover is .70 not .50 like the Ford and it come with a 1.06 exhuast housing (integral waste gate). The only different b/w the Ford exhaust housing is that it have the word "Ford" printed on it whereas the other have "Garrett". It is rated 700hp and you can get one from Ford for about $3,500. If you shop around for the Garrett version (the Ford turbo is Made by Garrett anyway) anything around the $2,500 is a good price.

If you decided to go for is turbo then my advise is get the turbo supplier to quote you a price where they will custom fit a .82 exhuast housing (integral waste gate) instead of the 1.06 housing which come with the turbo, this would require machining of the housing to fit the bigger turbine wheel.

When I fitted this turbo in the car with the 1.06 Ex housing; there were so much lag!! It was making full boost (9psi) at about 4500 to 5000 rpm (this was bad and not what i wanted). So, out the turbo when and in when the .82 Ex housing instead (much better; its making 9psi at about 3900 rpm). With this turbo, i am making 210 KW at the wheel with 12.5 psi. Mod includes; 3" exhoust, FMIC, Power FC, fuel pump, air filter and everything else is standard. I hope the information helps you.

Thanks Nizjet . I'm looking for one for a RB26/30 with a bit more low down than that . Also the .50AR compressor cover would help to bring it on a bit earlier . Maybe I'm aiming too high and should be looking at a GT30R with the .82 AR exhaust housing .

Does anyone know which CHRA's go into RB25 Hi Flowed turbos . I think in the 33/30DET thread SK comented that one of them worked well . If FoMoJoke wants $3500 for their name on it they can go rip some F'n Orible Rusty Device pilot .

Thanks A .

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
