Yeah more common here, but not a drop in swap like titan engine Thanks

Hello I have seen before, but does anyone know soneowith a vk56 titan and trans assembly, as I'm looking to convert a petrol r51 Thanks

Hello Old Tony EGR is blanked, and electronically turned off too.

Hello, it's Automatic, only when in D at idle , not reverse or neutral, no play in pulleys , idler, tensioner and Alt over run pulley are recently replaced. Slight revs stop the noise as well, it's got me scratching my head. I noticed it while away on camping trip, it's driven 10...

This is good to know i use Torque app and my R51 does similar, it hits full boost them violently goes boost -vacuum, but no change in the way car runs.

Hello, wondering if anyone has had this, I read it somewhere else bit no result. My 2012 has started getting a vibration, sounds like around engine, it does it when say stopped at lights, but moving into neutral makes it disappear, or even bringing revs up makes it stop...I think ...

I'm on my second CCT turbo, I installed the original stage 1 about 2 years ago, it recently snapped the shaft as it seized , I can't exactly blame the turbo as the genuine turbo did the same thing.

Hello All Has anyone done a removal of their D40/R51 auto? What sort of job is it, I need to remove mine to replace engine rear main oil seal. Thanks

Thing is nothing has changed on the car for nearly 2 years this turbo has been fitted, it has 3" exhaust plazmaman intercooler and pipework.

Hello Old Tony Do they have a boost cut out? I'm pretty sure it's always run that boost , especially with my chip in (which currently isn't). The little link from wastegate to electronic actuator look slightly different lengths maybe I try swap them boost may go down or up. Thanks

Hello everyone. R51 2012 Electronic turbo actuator Ok so over the last couple of weeks I have noticed an issue where my car has no power down low, turns out the little lever on the actuator wasn't rising when engine started, it would jump back to position if stalled up or driven,you...

Thanks Old Tony Mine is 2012, after the vin no listed for recall etc, never had an issue until recently. A good spray with WD40 on the latch assembly and it seems to stay down not sure what problem is, I will have to keep eye on it.

No I use a Vgate obd2 scanner and the torque app like Old Tony. I can read FRP MAP plus more.i did try a cheaper unit first it was rubbish could not read jack. I don't trust electronics from supercentre apart from lights etc. Take it back, buy a better one.

A lot of aftermarket headlights have rubbish reflectors in them. But yeah you may want the loom. Old Joe I think my R51 lights are as good as any with 60/55 crap globes , I now use led anyway and they are great.

Hello Referring to your fuel economy , mine is 2012 auto. On highway @110 it does high 9s , 8s a@100 Towing my 2T camper at 113 it averages 14.3/14.7 , I use GPS klm , not what the dash says , the fuel consumption on dash says it's heaps better. Always has, it has 185k, only...
