Turbo Type

[Joshren]

Ok, silly question but not really up to date with my Ford. What turbo comes standard on a BA 2004 XR6T. I seee all these to4 and GT35 but my turbo has no numbers on it that resemble these.

It has A/R50 M 12 <LL>5 it also has M4 AR 1.06 NWS 1 1/2, do any of these give the model?

Gt35/40

Garrett GT3582r actually...

Commonly referred to as GT35/40, but Leigh from ETM kindly informed us of the proper model number / name.

Are the FG turbo's still the gt3582r but with a smaller front A/R and comp wheel? Any one care to explain the differnce...

While the Ford unit is based on the 3582, it is not a Garret GT3582r! Go and buy a Ford 3540 and a Garrett 3582 and tell me they're the same There are differences.

LOL, Bloody Garrett likes to try and confuse us.

In the early days they were called GT35R's. Then later they became GT3540R's. After that they became GT3582R's. All the same turbo just has had a few name changers over the years.

Up until the FG the BA & BF had GT3582R cores with ford housings. The compressor cover is a .50 A/R T04E. The exhaust housing is almost identical to the Garrett but has Ford on it and is cast in cast iron. The Garrett is cast in NiResist. There is a slight change in the wastegate divider area as well. The Garrett comes all the way out with area for a flange to clamp against. The ford housing is slightly recessed.

The FG F6s have the same turbo as above.

The standard FG Turbo models have an odd ball turbo. It has the same bearing housing, Turbine, compressor cover and exhaust housing as above but has an old school T04B / T04S compressor wheel. It is from the same casting as the old 60-1 but is trimmed right down.

Something that is even more odd is it appears to be the same trim and casting as used in the GT2540R / GT2876R.

There are far better performance based turbo options/combinations available so I am not sure why Garrett and Ford have done this. All I can come up with is cost and trying to keep shaft speeds down for turbo longevity???

(The old T04S compressor wheel used in the FG turbo operates at slower shaft speeds)

?????????????????????????????????????????????

The standard Garrett GT3582R has a .70 T04S compressor cover.

Your turbo is a Garrett GT3582R core with Ford housings.

Wot he said

Interesting combo on the FG.

Also, the 3582 (or the NiResist rear housing) has a sightly larger wastegate port/flapper (a mm or two) from memory.
