Finally got it finished and as i speak im leaving her to warm up outside. Job wasnt as difficult as i expected, just needed to acquire a few extra bits like spacer, gaskets and pipes etc. also fitted my front mount so goona take it for a quick blast round the block when she has been idling for 5 mins

 

gonna kick like carlos

 

What turbo is that, a T34?

The kink in your hose to the metering unit won't do you any favours.

 

i hope its not 1 of these

Shorten your silicone hose between the metering unit and turbo.

 

Bit cheap isn't it?

 

if it is thats mahooosive lol...

RS Turbo lag

 

Ditto that !

 

sorted the hose peeps, and NOOOOOOO it aint one of those lol. Its a garret stage 3 hybrid job. Lag is a bit of an arse, but getting setup at nobles this weekend so should be a bit better

 

why does it need a spacer plate then

 

it is a T34, but its not the one you showed on your pic. Its spaced because the compressor housing would foul on the manifold. I had bought it for my ZVH engine but my t3 had starte smoking so have bolted this up for the mean time.

 

its not a T34 its got a T3 back end on it and a T34 fits on the standard manifold

stage 3 T34 on rs turbo manifold


T34 bk end

this is a T4/T3 turbo on my mates car

 

thought they meant the same thing.....then again if you read the thread name it does actually say T3/T4!! What you getting it?

 

A t4 turbo with resrictive t3 elbow on it just dont seem a lot of point thats all

 

Agreed. Let us know how it goes sorting the lag

 

we'll see what the point is when it gets setup. will keep you all posted on developments

 

That exactly what a T34 should have, a T3 turbine. Othervise It would be a T4.

 

whats this then no t3 exhaust elbow and its a T34

 

I think Jesse is refering to the back housing, not the RST elbow

 

I have never seen a T34 with a cast elbow attached.

 

i'll be honest, i always thought a T34 was a T3 exhaust housing with a T4 compressor housing. im ashuming this is wrong

 

Im the same, if you can fit an elbow why do sooooo many owners need to get a new downpipe made

 

That's exactly what it is. Doesn't matter if it's done with a RST style T3 turbine housing or a Cossie style T3 turbine housing.

 

ahh bang on mate

You're getting confused. The rear housing comes in different styles, ie 3 and 5 bolt, but they still use the t3 rear wheel.

And, there is absoloutelty NOTHING restrictive about the RST elbow. It's the housing it fits onto u may want to take a closer look at.

 

mines being mapped this week, cant wait to see how good the turbo is over 4k

great choice
