ok guys just picked myself up an xr6t. now i was under the impression that the rear exhaust wheel was steel but the one i have here is what looks to be ceramic. Now before you say anything this is definitely an xr6 turbo, it has an a/r of .50 and internally gated with a rear exhaust housing of 1.06. It has the ford badge thing stamped on the exhaust housing and has Garrett and M12 stamped on the front compressor housing. It is also brand new, never been used!

Can anyone explain? Did any come out with a ceramic wheeled exhaust housing?

It should be using the standard GT3540R cartridge which is CHRA 706451-5 . That Turbine housing is a one off design Ford had made specifically for that turbocharger . What colour is the turbine that makes you think its ceramic ?

Cheers A .

The reason i think its ceramic is because it looks the same as my vg30 exhaust wheel and doesn't feel or sound like steel when you touch it.

Are you sure its never been used?

Octane booster can cause a turbine wheel to yellow/orange up a little, making it look ceramic.

Let me have a look, I'll be able to see if it really is ceramic. :)

i've got the turbo sitting here in front of me and the more i look at it and tap it with things the more i think it is actually steel, i think the thing that was getting me confused i guess is where the blades start there quite thick and just don't really look steel.

The guy i got the turbo off said he might be able to get a couple more if u got the cash and are interested.

Was used on a demo car so has a slight discolouration, so i'm doubting any octane boost has been used

hrmm... I lack the funds at the moment.

I have ~half of it now, should be able to get another half for it in another few weeks. (poor uni student). :)

Looks like the valve springs won't be going in yet. Priorities.

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
