Default stage 3 - what next??

i went out and bought myself a fiesta diesel this weekend so i can keep the cos as more of a weekend toy

this means i no longer need to rely on it, everyday so can start modifying it more, or just making it better.

the current spec is MSD closed loop stage 3, standard T3, greens 3 bar etc

where should i go from here.

should i ditch the air-con and go for a 500 spec cooler?

i dont really know where to go from here regarding the engine?

should i go for a t34, or wait till the T3 goes pop?

recomendations please guys

T34 and 500 cooler would be a good addition to what you have already m8.

the gear box is ok, a little noisy

if its breaks i'll replace it, just wondering what my options were regarding the engine

what sort of boost are people running, think the previous owner set mine a little low, as to save the gearbox

whats safe to run on a stage 3 and a 4x4 cooler

It all depends on what you are going to use that car for really mate. How much do you use the aircon?

I think a T34 with a .55 exhaust makes for a very nice Turbo on the road and even on track. Should give you a real 350bhp without straining the guts out of the turbo.

T4 and Blacks

Stu MSD ran T34 & blacks and had a good solid 400bhp. He did put a new standard ford box in thou.

If your not using the car all the time now T34 and big cooler and you will be more than happy with Stg3 power

The new injectors from HOLLEY are a direct replacement I have been told, and less than Ł200 for eight new, still checking on this though.

You WILL need a Group A or uprated Headgasket at this point mate!

Cooler and Turbo are the next step but if you suspension and brakes are not up to more power don't even think about it until they are sorted

will prob be dumping the air con soon and maybe going for a t34

cars no longer used everyday, so can get a little more power

as for the head gasket, no worries there

so if i went out and bought a t34, ditched the air con and fitted a 500 cooler (and group a-coil)

would i notice the difference, even running the same boost?

will i have to get a new chip for the t34, or will it be fine on my current msd closed loop set-up
