How much would you be looking for the RB25 PFC?

How much would you be looking for the RB25 PFC?

I didn't put up any prices for any of the other stuff because I haven't had time to research the prices of new or second hand gear from other sources yet. But since people have a habit of replying saying "you can get product X for $Y" when people post a too-high price, I will say $1500 for both. I know that's too high, so when someone replies with a source that is cheaper, I will drop the price accordingly Otherwise wait until tomorrow and I'll look up prices and get back to you.

These things need to go, I'll take $1700 for turbo and manifold. Or make an offer if this is still too much.

JimX. What are the specs for this turbo? is this the Garret 35R? what rear housing?

JimX. What are the specs for this turbo? is this the Garret 35R? what rear housing?

It is the standard XR6T turbo, which is 0.50A/R front and 1.06A/R (I think) rear. The rear housing is the only internal wastegate housing at present for the GT35 so far as I know, and made specifically for Ford by Garrett, hence the "Ford" badge stamped into the rear. I believe Garrett are releasing their own internal wastegate housings soon for various bigger turbos. PM Discopotato for more info on that, he's the resident Garrett expert

I have heard rumours that the compressor is smaller than the "normal" GT3540R, but I have also heard someone refute that rumour. I have measuring calipers at home and can measure front and back wheels tonight if you like. The compressor housing is definitely smaller than the normal GT3540R (which is 0.7 A/R) but the reason I bought it was because it was going on my RB25 and the smaller housing would have reduced lag. I wasn't chasing more than 300rwkw so I wouldn't need the bigger 0.7 front.

Hello

thanks champ

Only the injectors from those 3 things are currently available and I'm asking $500. Sorry for not updating my original post, I'll do that now to save confusion.

Hi there,

What are these rated to HP wise?

How many PSI do you think they can hold?

Thanks

[JimX]

Easy 500-600hp+. It's a Garrett ball bearing turbo with steel wheels so it should hold 25-30psi easily, with a higher sprung wastegate actuator. I believe there are Falcon owners getting 400rwkw out of these turbos, but check the XR6T forums for details. It will make an easy 300rwkw+ on an RB25, which is what I was aiming for.

Do you think it will go alright on an RB26?

[JimX]

Do you think it will go alright on an RB26?

Well, I was going to put it on an RB25 (the manifold I got is for an RB25 if you want to see proof of that ), so the RB26 can only go better. Fatz put one on his RB26, check out his thread about it: XR6T turbo on RB26. In fact I had a good read of this thread before deciding to buy the turbo. My old T3/4 doesn't hit full boost (1 bar) until about 4800 anyway so I was already used to driving a lag monster.

This was going to be my ultimate cheapass upgrade until I suddenly had to get rid of my car I was going to get all the required parts, turbo, manifold, oil/water lines, and weld up my own intake and front pipe mods, for just about spot on $2000 or maybe a bit over depending on how much steel tubing I'd need for the exhaust. Which I didn't think was too bad considering that Ford sell the same turbo for around $3k and similar big turbos with external wastegate retail for around $1700+, if it's a cheap price. I don't think my price is too bad if you want to do the same upgrade path as was going to, I am probably going to lose money on this in the end (I'm barely covering my costs at $1650).

Hey,

I think you might have what i'm looking for. I live in parra so i'm not too far from you. Just a question... Would this turbo be too much for an RB20 to handle? And what is the inlet flange size? If it can go on you reckon i could pop by n take a look at it sumtime soon?

Thanks

[JimX]

I think it wouldn't hit boost on an RB20 until over 5000. I don't think anyone's put one on an RB20 yet but if you want to be a pioneer you can try.

Inlet flange is T3

Bump with a bit of info.

Capa have a kit for an RB20/25, which consists of a GT35/40R, wastegate, manifold, dump/front pipe, gaskets, and oil/water lines. pic of kit

The differences are:

1. Capa uses the 0.70 A/R front for their GT35, but probably a smaller A/R rear than the XR6T turbo (not specified on the site). Both turbos are going to lag somewhat, but the larger rear/smaller front turbo will probably have slightly less lag and more top end than the other. Whatever the case, Capa don't think that this turbo is too laggy for use on an RB20. (they may be wrong though but for their asking price I'm sure they'll be happy to sell it to anyone)

2. Capa's manifold is most likely better quality manifold than the one I'm selling. But mine still seems to be of quite decent quality and is reinforced. The Ebay auction I bought it from said it was SS321 stainless, which is the better grade for turbo manifolds (better heat resistance). I've got no way of confirming that though because I'm not a metalurgist.

3. Capa's kit includes oil and water lines but I hadn't bought them yet. Horsepowerinabox have a set for $260 or $285 depending on if you want braided or not.

4. Capa's kit is an external wastegate setup. Mine is internal, but there are plenty of people that are getting big numbers out of this internal setup. For mild street use on the cheap, I think this setup is really good value. That's why I bought it!

5. Capa want $6226 for their kit. It is no doubt better than what I'm selling, but consider that even if you throw in the price of oil/water lines, you get almost the same setup for under $2000. Even if you ditch the Ebay manifold and get a proper Japanese one for $1000, it's still under half the price for the equivalent setup. I never said this was perfect, but I think it is damned cheap for what it is.

I look at this turbo sitting in the box and I keep wishing I could have put it on my car. If I could keep my car I would love to install it and write a mega post about it but unfortunately my car needs to be sold fairly soon. If I don't get a decent enough offer on the turbo though, in a year or 2 I would like to buy another GTS-t and put this turbo on it.
