XPT 673 Posted January 26, 2017 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/132074197466 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/192084674673 Master Power R6564 Master Power turbos made in Brasil, good quality, very popular in the States as a decent affordable turbo that makes the numbers. I bought one for my car. It's T4 flanged, would be good on a 4L. In SA too. Only thing is they need an external gate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 30, 2017 Can anybody tell me what mods have to be done to the AU engines when fitting them to an XG I believe something has to be done to the sump? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 30, 2017 Internal or external wastegate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoshXH 42 Posted January 30, 2017 Sump has to be modded to clear the crossmember/swaybar, I don't think there's anything other than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,918 Posted January 30, 2017 Just found this on another forum Just done the same, Pretty easy but took me most of the week to get it done around work.My sway bar spacers are made out of 1" RHS 2.5mm wall and I just cut the notches with the angle grinder and cleaned up the edges with a file then drilled the hole through them and got some longer bolts, dead easy and easily just as strong as original and shouldn't change how the sway bar works at all, still sits reasonably close to the sump, hits when I jack it up from the cross member but I doubt I will be able to make it hit while on the road unless I get it airborne and then that will be the last thing I will be worried about.I used the XG engine mounts, XG timing cover (2 sump bolts at the bottom left out and just mastik'd up), XG Oxy sensor, XG power steering pump, XG harmonic balancer and XG alternator then cut some notches in the webbing on the bolck, tapped out one of the holes on the block to 7/16 UNF which was not drilled and tapped and fitted a HT 7/16 bolt with loctite to mount the XG alternator mounting bracket along with the standard long 6mm bolt rather than using an AU unit.Means that when the XG alternator dies I can use either XG or AU with minor wiring alterations.Had to cut about 10mm off the aircon mounts on the block, and I made up a mounting plate for the coil to bolt on where the knock sensor was for the AU.All up, the conversion has cost me about $300 for a 180k engine and reco trans which replaces my 480k engine and second hand trans which I have no idea what K's it's done.I got my Engine and trans off Ebay for $179, trans is reco, came with startermotor but no alternator or power steering pump thus why I used all the XG stuff.As par the course and seems I had the front off the engine I fit a new timing chain and tensioner kit, seal etcLoving it, next to fix some minor rust, and exhaust, get the low beams working and fit new lights all round and some new spring saddles for the front and it should be done and can go back to work.Cheers Damo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XPT 673 Posted January 30, 2017 Internal or external wastegate?It depends on which turbo you end up using. The ba-bf xr6t gt3582r and fg xr6t gt3576r are both internally gated so if you get either of those that makes the choice for you, for an internal gate they are quite good. If you end up going for another turbo, most of your aftermarket choices with a turbo that is well matched to a 4L would be externally wastegated turbos. Silly question, you did intend on retrofitting a dizzy to your AU donk to run with your EL ecu right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XPT 673 Posted January 30, 2017 https://www.facebook.com/proboostperformanceparts/posts/966486790151468 this popped up on my newsfeed. This place has decent quality turbos for a reasonable price, they've got some good specials on at the moment. IMO the BA-BF gt3582r is the go if you aren't too keen on more fab work and want to keep it simpler as far as the manifold/dump pipe goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XPT 673 Posted January 31, 2017 Am i right in assuming the AU runs coil packs?Yep as the other guys have said AUs run coil packs. Come to think of it, why don't you just run the original dizzy, ecu and wiring loom just fit it all to the AU engine? You can still run a J3 chip on those earlier ecus 2 Thom and SLO247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
