I have a GT2554R turbo fitted but needs rebuilt. There is a turbo on eBay from America which the seller has confirmed is a direct replacement for my turbo-

Hi,

Here are the specs for the GT2554R:
Compressor::
- Wheel: 54.3mm
w/ 60 trim
- Housing: .80 ar

Turbine / Exhaust::
-Wheel: 53mm w/ 62
trim
- Housing A/R: .64
- Housing Type: T25/T28 Inlet with Internal
Wastegate

and here is the specs for our item:
Compressor Specs:


* Compressor Trim: 40
**** .42 A. R.
**** Inducer: 37.8
****
Exducer 59.7
**** Inlet: 2"

Turbine Specs:

**** Turbine Housing
Flange: *T25
**** 5 bolt downpipe flange
**** Turbine= .86 A.R.
****
Turbine wheel: *52.9 mm / 45.47 mm

But I do believe the bolt pattern
maybe different.

So can the bolt pattern be altered so it would fit? It's just this turbo is under £200 delivered and the seller has good feedback.

This is the item itself- http://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11051...AMOTORS%3A1123

What manifold do you have, is it a standard Zetec One. Was the turbo flange changed to suit the 3 stud zetec manfold? If the flanges dont match up then one or the other has to be chopped and welded, usually you would mod the manifold to suit the turbo.

It's the normal T-190 one which looks like a standard zetec modified to fit the turbo on with 3 bolts.

Thought it would be, same as the T230, its a bog standard Zetec manifold with no modifications, the turbo is a T25 that has a flange to match the standard Zetec manifold, you will need to weld a ned flange onto your manifold, may be more beneficial to stick an aftermarket manifold on to match what ever turbo you have. Can the T series Pectal ecu be unlocked because you will need a remap for a different turbo, i would be very careful about making changes without mapping when you have standard zetec pistons

Yeah I've started pricing up rebuilds and best quote I've had is £195 - £350 depending on what's wrong, plus postage.
