be costly new! I'd try CAPA, AVO etc and see if they have replaced the stocker and have it sitting around... Failing that try a ford wrecker (they should be able to link up on a network to find a smashed one). If you want one new, let me know - My friends parents own a ford dealership. (send a PM as I might not get back to this thread...)

if you call a ford dealer i am sure you will be surprised. I have heard it's about 1400. However be very mindful of buying that exect turbo, as it is specifically built for a 4L. You may have to swap exhaust housings for a more RB friendly one

They are more than $1400 brand new. I just bought one at a good price, yet to fit in on my RB30DET yet.

Keep and eye on these for sale forums and also calaisturbo, and trading they do pop up in all three from my epxerience

interesting. i've heard nothing but kudos about them on RB30's and RB25s ..from a guy that works are Rank Rotary and ATP i think .....had alot of 250 plus rwkw results on calais and what not ..

most guys been picking them up for 1400 at the most.

iwant one for my RB24 build up

hrmm Interesting.. :D

They are internally gated so that may suit my needs nicely, providing they will tap on 300rwkw's door. 299.1rwkw I'd be happy. :P

I wouldn't even dream of sticking one of those ford turbo's on a rb20. lol

6000rpm full boost lol..

i dont think that is what the discussion is about, dude. :bonk: :idea:

the turbo is roughly able to support somewhere near 500hp perhaps more. not too sure coz i'm yet to see a compressor map. At least then it would give everyone an indication of its "gurth"

I asked Brett at GCG the same Q a while back , $2500 . The only pics I was able to track down showed a .50AR compressor cover which Brett reckons is a TO4E . I don't know for sure but doubt Garrett would try to squeeze a 56 trim GT40 compressor into a 50 TO4E cover , could be 50AR TO4S cover with small snout ?

I would be interested to know if Garrett do an integral gate .82 exhaust housing to suit its GT35 turbine , Ford used the 1.06AR version I think .

Cheers A .

shit if its 1400 sign me up ( i just like the fact i dont need a wastegate.. plus i know if i get one it will be the atmo which i dont want to do)

so are we talking about boost about 4k (my rb is 2.658 litres)

steve when did it come on in the rb25

cheers

The car we did was a stocker RB25 with only ECU cooler and exhaust so we stopped at 350rwhp, only needed a soft ign Map and 14psi.

A stock rb25det, with ecu, exhaust & what...the xr6 turbo pulling 250rwkw's fark, is this true

Where are you located, give me info, ill pay you to do this to my rb25, gees! :jump:

    • My theory would revolve around the ~4000rpm point being peak torque territory on an RB, where you're supposed to be looking at max efficiency of the head, etc, and....just not having it because the skinny ports are doing something to f**k it up. I'll admit, it's a loose theory.
    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
