So really, as you are trying to sell this YOU should get this sent off and checked, this would put buyers minds at ease.

Are you talking to me?

This GT42R turbo is brand new, you can phone turbo dynamics and talk to them about it if you like, its perfect, cost my mate 2700 quid originally, there is nothing to check?

the conversation above was about a different turbo, bought secondhand, are you getting confused with that one?

where can you get a manifold from for this turbo? i just looked on ebay USA and AUS and google and didnt really get anything useful. I wondered about this as when i saw the turbo on gregs car and on the reworx one it looked much higher up in the engine bay than a normal turbo, this must be due to how fat it is. My Gt40 is way smaller than this and it only just fits between the engine and strut case on the body.

If it does move the turbo higher up then a custom downpipe will be needed too surely??

finally, when i spoke to tim at rxmotors about GT42R\'s he said greg has an american type one with a 6" exhaust flange, in his workshop tim has one from aus with a 5" one. What size does this have??

I believe some of Gregs bodywork had to be cut to accomodate it too.

Pictured are Garys installation that we supplied and another GT42 Turbo kit with spark plug box so you can see how big they are.

When you get these out the box you think OMG how on earth does that all fit in the space available, but Gary will tell you it not only fits but all those HUGE pipes fit first time as well straight into an unmodified engine bay :driving .

Are you talking about greg in Bristol?
If so i know him and spoke to him when i first saw this for sale and he said that this is not the same turbo as his anyway!
I think his is a slightly differant version with a differant exhaust housing that is designed to work better with a rotary!
Sorry for the lack of technical reasons why it\'s differant! just what he said when i told him this was for sale and i was considering buying it!

I hope Greg has his sums right with the type of GT42 he has fitted because the GT42 we specify is a Hybrid made up specifically for the Rotary its actually very nice for us that we have passed some technology back to Australia with our conversion because as a result of working closely with the company we distribute for, as they are now selling this kit out in Aus with  very happy customers .

Everyone was talking about Chip-3door\'s turbo Clive... Greg knows exactly what he\'s talking about. Whoever buys his 42R will need a manifold and downpipe, turbo oil feed and drain, wastegate, wastegate plumbing and preferably a boost controller. The conversion is relatively simple as long as you are paitent and handy with a welder. You can sell your stock twins to pay for the manifold! Greg had his manifold specialy made for him in America. You can get it done here, but you need to be prepared to "finish" it. It can get quite invloved as the wastegate needs to be fed from both runners as equally as possible. Wastegate should be no smaller than 50mm, best to try and find a 60mm. The downpipe is a walk in the park, as are oil feed and drian. Then all you need is a combination of elbows and pipes to connect to the intercooler. Some heat shields are a really good idea as these kick a hell of a lot of heat out. Your steering UJ is very close, and you wouldn\'t want to cook all the grease out of that now, would you! Big air filter, more fuel and your about there.
