New turbo
What would be a good turbo for this spec
Standard head with bd14 inlet cam
200block with standard comp valve cut pistons
Grey injectors
500 cooler etc
I was wanting 400bhp and thinking of a gt series turbo. Possibly a gt2871 or a gt30?
Anyone run either of these and what rpm do they come on boost

Is your T34 just std or roller bearing as we built one with same set up as you with a roller bearing and it was a monster in the dry it was a sideways warrior in 1st 2nd & 3rd

I'm running greens currently on standard t34.48 peaking 27psi holding 23. Mine comes on hard just under 4k
What rpm does a gt30 come on boost?

I think my t34 is on the way out as in getting oil coming out of the Amal valve. I take it it must be picking up out of the compressor side as the oil couldn't come from the actuator.

I have std engine, RS500 IC, greens. I spotted a T34 turbo for sale. Its garrett new T3/4 with these specs: 50/54 60ar/0,63 700€. Should it be good choice to acquire 330-350 bhp with reasonable boost, if I happen to buy it. Seems to be same specs as Escorts T34?

t34 0.48 will struggle to get to 400bhp - needs the 0.63 exh housing to make it - even then it will only last 12-18 months at the boost required for that power. You will spend 5-600 quid everytime on a rebuild, every 12-18 months
Not worth it imo, you will be better goin for a bigger turbo that can handle 400bhp easily.

Mine runs a T34.63, 200 block, 7:8:1 Mahle's with valve cut outs, Light Blues, standard head etc. and runs a shade under 400 with similar torque. Awesome setup and not laggy at all, perfect drivers package IMO
