The turbo is a GT3540 original garrett ballbearing turbo. It is water and oil cooled.

This turbo has been checked by GCG turbos and is completely fine. This is an original Garrett unit with low kms. Only 1500 easy km since check with GCG.

I removed the original internally gated housing and bought an original garrett to4 rear housing which garrett makes for the gt3540 and paid another $600+ dollars

for along with flange and v clamp. Usually these turbos are to3 housing as found in xr6 turbos but this is a to4 housing and you can run external gate

The turbine housing was Black ceramic coated professionally at competition coatings in granville nsw and the front housing polished to a mirror finish with grooves removed as well as writing and then coated professionally with black thermal dispersant paint.

The ceramic obviously keeps heat in as much as possible but the thermal dispersant actually keeps heat out and also dissipates any heat trapped inside.

The Dump pipe has a bung for an o2/afr sensor and also has v band flange to suit the screamer pipe plumb back. The dump pipe suits an xd-xe-xf falcon but you can alter it to suit your needs. It also has the exhaust flange at the end.

There is also a custom made shield to protect the master cylinder in x series falcons which perhaps you can modify to suit.

Lastly the dump pipe was re painted in ceramic and covered properly with black graphite thermotec tape, silconed down and has proper steel clamps holding it down.

Cost of goods were:

$1700.00 for new GT2582R

$650 for to4 rear housing and flange/clamp

Dump pipe $400

Custom shield $80.00

Ceramic coating and thermal resistance coating on turbo housing, comp housing and dump pipe $600

Thermotec tape and steel ties $170.00

Custom drain pipe $50.00

TOTAL = $3650

IF you just want the turbo $1200 or close offer.

If you want it with the dump pipe (which has the aforementioned flanges, thermotec tape, bung, etc, then $1400 or close offer.

These are great on the RB engines and on the 4.1 I had it on, it ran 245rwkw on a slipping clutch and only 12 psi.

    • It's aftermarket. It also reeks of Honda Civic tryhard from 2003. But if you want one....then you want one.
    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL
