Hey guys, i was just wondering about upgrading my turbo and like the sound of the GT3540R that come stock on Fords XR6T, would this turbo bolt straight onto everything existing on the RB25 (oil lines, manifold ect) or if anything what would i need to change?

Cheers

Brad

Its not a bolt on, far from it

It bolts onto a Ford XR6, not an R33 skyline :laugh:

Oil lines

Water lines

All intake piping

Spacer plate or manifold

Dump pipe, front pipe changes

You'll also need to change, ECU, injectors, AFM, clutch, fuel system etc etc etc etc etc

So around $8000-$10000 and even then, it'll be substancially of poor response, being its a 700hp turbo.

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
