Has anyone tried the Garrett GT37V or GT40V Variable geometry turbos. I have a R33 GTST and have been considering using one of these turbos. I have spotted these on ebay for US$600 and think they may ideal for the RB25DET. I completed a project in 2004 using a GT15V on a 600cc CBR600 motor and found the turbo to offer almost no lag. Because of the laggless nature of these turbos I think they would be ideal for a 300+rwkW everyday driver. The above turbos are from Ford F series Powerstroke diesels and of cause petrol engines operate with higher exhaust than diesels. However from my CBR600 experiment we found that because the VNT turbo can act like a large turbo backpressure is kept down so are EGT's. Reliability of the VNT was not found to be an issue. I have read up a bit on a late 90's Ford 2.2L fitted with a GT25V and the only unreliability problems stemmed from carbon (soot) clogging th guide vanes. I am considering water injection as a method of stopping this as well as intercooling as people report this having a cleaning effect on engine internals. Any light shed on this idea would be great as any knowledge shared could save me a lot of money and heartache if it is doomed.

I have installed a Power FC purchased secondhand with out the instruction manuals. What I cant work out is what Ld. means in the fuel and ignition tables. I assume that it means LOAD but it doesnt seem to corilate with output of the Air Flow meter voltage in any way. I have also installed and purchased a TechEdge wideband Lambda Meter and am logging the Air Flow Meter and Throttle Position Sensor as well as others. The only thing i can make out is that Ld. is close to TPS x AFR voltage. Help.

Do you know any thing about this sensor? Does it have a 0-5V output or 0-1V? Is it a linear output? If so I would be interested. Do you have a pic or even a part number? WAZ

Are these also suitable for the R33 Rb25det?

I am after the inner guards and under the bumper plastics. Do you have these? What price and what postage to sydney?

Still got the manifold? Pics to [email protected]
