Piston Broke

Is it worth going for the cozzy T3 turbo ???? does anyone run one ?? Do they make a good difference and worth the cash. I know there a few quid but might buy new. The only problem is i dont have a .48 exhaust housing does anyone have one or know where i could buy one thanks people !

That's a very open question... which T3, 2WD or 4WD? They both flow more than an RST T3 so yes they will make more power with other needed modifications and a setup.

I dont know what route, blower burnie is a nightmare to get hold of but theres another turbo place doing a solid stage 2 for around Ł450 thats with a new .48 exhaust.......... any advise, stage 2 or 3 is the stage 3 worth the big money over the stage 2 >>>>>

Stage 2 doesn't usually come with a .48 housing though does it ?

right gone for a T34 with all the trims you ould ever want, i know it will be abit laggy but thats fine just foreplay, its cost a few quid but will be good. Decided to go to MSD for a good setup after talking to Stu as answered all the info i wanted and worth the money i think. seems a good spot

Good luck with the T34, hope it works well for you. Deffo think you will see a fair bit or lag.

Lag is foreplay dude...............

You've gone for a T34 and your still MFI mate?

Piston Broke

yes, will looking its a t3 machined out to fit the bigger turbine.

You really need to change to proper EFI management mate, the old MFI can barely fuel for 200bhp reliably these days, a T34 will do over 300bhp! lol

I know about the efi but love the mfi lol as like the old school feel. Spent the day on the car today as have been having oil issues boost problems and miss fire and now sorted the lot. Found I had 4 knackered injectors. I had them on the tester. 2 were spring badly and 2 worn out totally. Then they were all leaking. Did the timing and set the C0 and now she's mint and goes like a good one with the turbo. Altho yes there is lag NOT as much as I thought. I'm running at 15 psi the turbo is kicking in around 3200 rpm and it's unreal when she does. I have uprated the fuel pump in the car to the best you can. I also have a spare fitted next to it. Just nice to have it running as it should and knowing the turbo etc is the best you can buy so nice and strong so felling happy with the car for a change until next time..........lol

Also if you ever do go onto different management the turbo will cope with it so that's another plus

Nice to hear some positive news.

Piston Broke

To be fair it was my fault from the start i should of stopped been lazy but been busy with customers cars and VAT returns etc but went in today and said im sorting it out now as pissing me off looking at it lol but now runs mint and better still found Bosch injectors new only Ł26 each so bargain lol

Piston Broke

Next stop, getting it setup .......................... MSD blackpool, ART wakefeild, not sure of any others around Yorkshire or the best to use ???????

boosting at 3200 sounds more like a stage 3 t3. I recommend a a/f guage to keepan eye on things. mine was set up and melted. had I invested in some gauges to minitor things it needn't have happened.mfi can go out of wack without warning asmine did. was setup perfectly and ran spot on for a bit over a year then out the blue, ran lean and left with with a smoke filled oil spattered engine bay

Piston Broke

Yep defo getting a AFR mate just been looking at which is the best. The turbo spec is Enlarged .42 A/R Compressor Housing, T34 Compressor Wheel, Enlarged Back Plate, Left Hand Thread High Temperature shaft, Uprated .48 Turbine housing, Uprated 360 Degrees Thrust Bearing, Uprated 360 Degrees Stainless Steel Thrust Collar, Staggered "Step Gap" High temperature oil seal so should last i hope lol. Needs a good setup on the rollers but will wait till next month i think as i have spent a few grand on it this month already but not far off now

I have a similar spec turbo and I like its power delivery. even on the 1.6 it spools up at a reasonably decent point

Piston Broke

BRILLIANT a person who has one and says is happy with it !! me to !!!!! think it makes the car more usable in the sense you dont need to be on the boost all the time and when you do.......................... hold on lol

Im just thinking about AFR now ...... are they worth the spend..........

You mention going for a setup, I hoping you haven't just fitted that turbo, turned the boost to a bar and not had the fuelling checked or for detonation?!

Piston Broke

No mate lol, im not that daft. I tryed to get booked into MSD Blackpool but no space till mid/start December ................ so looking for another around North Yorkshire. at the moment im running without boosting it but only done 4 miles as have other cars to use. Just not sure where to go to be honest. Last setup i had i went to Motorscope and it was utter shit !

I hear good things about area 52 aswell

Piston Broke

Wheres that or is it a joke as area 52 isnt real is it lol .....................space man story's etc
