hi peeps i have been offered a very cheap t3/4 t04e stage 3 turbo but i am only running a 1600 engine is this turbo going to work on my car or is it a waste of money also when would it kick in and how much difference would it make

sorry for all the questions just dont want to waste my money on something that will just sit on the garage floor.

 

I have one of these and ive been told it may be too big for my 16v'er! Wheres it from out of interest?

 

from a friend in romford

not a lot of good then

 

What's the 1.6 had done to it?

 

it is a standard bottom end the head has a kent cam and vernier pulley it has a pts chipped ecu fifth injector magnex zorst k&n induction kit and a front mount grs running 15psi

 

You will need i abit of work on the bottom end to get good use out of the turbo i think mate

 

someone told me i will only get full benefit on an engine capacity over1.9 is this true or will it be ok on a 1.6

 

i used to run one with no problem on the 1.6

 

when did it kick in and how much better is it than a t3

 

depends on what has been done and what boost your gonna run
it was on boost by about 3000rpm

 

im runing one on my rs,
got a full stage thrre head, piper cam, enlarged ports and valves, and port matched inlet manifold (plus obviouse fulling and a few tweaks to bottom end


im currently running around 25 psi att he mo,
there isnt much power below 3 (theres none)
sarts making boost at 3 and comes in really fast from there


not advisable for a everyday car!

 

t34 will be miles to big for an 1600 unless ur all still bottom end with big boost the right turbo for un 1600 is t3 hybrid with .48 with 55 trim

 

its not a t34 it a t3/4 its actually called a to4e

 

whats the size of the exzorst housing and trim?

 

3" INLET

2" OUTLET

spec is as follows

WET FLOATING BEARINGS

1/8 NPT OIL INLET

T3 / T4 FLANGE

FITS T3 AND T3/T4 MANIFOLDS

.50 A/R COMPRESSOR

.63 A/R TURBINE

.57 TRIM

 

stage 3 t3 is adequate to around 260bhp on an rst,anything else is overkill and not needed unless power figures are more important than driveability

 

why will it affect the drivabillity of the car

 

bigger turbo on a 1600 is not gonna make boost till over 3 k,my stg 3 t3 makes full boost by then
