Hey all,I'm looking for a stock compressor housing/cover off a stock CA T25 turbo, so if you have a blown one sitting on a shelf somewhere I'd really appreciate it if you were to hook me up! I'm looking for a pair if at all possible, but would settle for one if need be. Let me know what you've got, thanks!

The stock CA compressor housing is .48 A/R, not .80. That compressor housing would be off an SR t-25.

IIRC, the SR is .86. The .80 is off the euro spec CA's.

In any case I really need a pair of these (regardless of the car they originally came on) ASAP. These are the ones with the slip-on inlets and not the 2-bolt lozenge flange. Let me know what you've got, thanks!

The 0.8 A/R compressor housing is from a T25G which comes standard on the non-VTC SR20's

Interesting... Because that's what I've got on my car right now! (came with the engine I bought from the importer)

T25G's pretty much the first level turbo up grade CA's as they give a reasonable improvement of the CA's T25 and they are cheap (AU$200-300). Also since they aren't that much bigger you can run them without tuning, so the engine you bought had the upgrade done. Apart from the A/R difference you can tell t T25 for a T25G because the T25G has a bolt on compressor inlet where as the T25 has one cast into the housing.

EDIT!!When you say "slip-on inlet Compressor housing" do you mean that the compressor housing slips on the CHRA and is held by a cir-clip or that the compressor inlet is a one piece and you slip you inlet pipe on? Because if it's the latter and it's a 0.8A/R the compressor housing isn't from a JDM SR.I'm guessing it's the first case.

If I am not mistaken, this is the compressor cover/housing in question:

And note how it says it has an AR of .48. That's a JDM spec T25. He wants the euro spec T25.

the SR20 T25 that come oem on the bluebirds (red valve pan cover/motor in my se-r) has a 0.80 compressor housing, with a slip-on hose inlet like the CA18 T25. That's what I'm using

all my stock euro spec T25s had the same 0.48 comp, but a 0.64 exhaust

what about the T25 from a Z32? I got one if you're interested. Don't know how much of an upgrade it is or if its even close to an SR T25. Let me know, buddy.
