Bf And Fg Rear Housing

[sct911]

A member on here is offering a good price for a BF gt3582 and exhaust manifold with port job done, just wondering if it will fit directly into a FG xr6t ? Are the rear housings the same in BF and FG falcons?

[skidxr6t]

I was offered a rear housing off an fg for my ba and given assurance it would be the same, so since the BA/BF turbo is the same then yeah. I don't know about non stock turbos though.

Turbines are the same. It is the compressor side that is different.

It will fit mate, I used my old fg rear housing on a gt35-82 off a bf, just has to spin the front housing a bit so it lined up with fg cooler pipes when fitting

The FG housing is cast from a higher grade material and less prone to cracking at the bolt holes = win

1 The exhaust manifold is different, it puts the turbo in a different spot and will shift your exhaust a bit.

2. The FG manifold that you have is a better design than the BF manifold

3. Like toads said, The FG exhaust housing is better steel. B series housings are prone to cracking.

could still be worth is if you got it cheap enough

Use the fg manifold with the bf turbo and you have an fg f6 hot side

I'd use the FG hot side and transfer the BF port job over. That way you get a less prone cracking turbine with a good port job!!!

I t's the housing on the B series that's prone to cracking, FG has more nickel for less cracks

Can get a donor BA complete turbo pretty cheap with rooted bearings of which I only want the housing and cover. Reckons has no cracks around bolt holes etc. Thinking maybe I'm better off either using my existing FG one or sourcing another if the B series is inferior. The idea was to build a complete unit though with ported housing to minimise down time. Thoughts?
