just wondered if anyone out there who new a bit about turbochargers and S2's could help me.was just browsing ebay and saw varou turbos for sale abroad and obvously much cheaper.just wondered what turbos could work on the S2 and what type of work would they inlvolve.and also would there be any benefit from it or best just to stick with T3
this probably makes no sense to anyone except me but thought id ask anyway
any help would be great and here is the turbo im on about.the company also has varous others http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...PcY_BIN_Stores

 

Why would you want a T4??

 

T4 , bit big mate

 

yep you can get it to fit , just put a T35 on mine .

way to big to mate , would take forever to spin up .

 

yeh sorry guys wrote this in the S2 forum last nite after a few last nite then just copied and pasted in to here today.should have read it again.
yeh i know T4 is a bit big .it was more really to do with the T3 flange on the turbo and if this is whats required to make it fit this was only turbo i could finf again that had the t3 flange but i do know the company has smaller one available.just they seemed much cheaper than what u can get in the uk..

 

On a 1600cvh yes, but you bolt that upto a 2litre Zetec engine running hi-comp turbo set up and with strong enough rods, you got yourself a 450+bhp engine with little lag from even a T4

 

A mate of mine got a brand new GT series t28 from the states for Ł400 quid including shipping thats Ł115 cheaper than i can get them for over here.

 

how much trouble was this to fit

thrush i wish

 

Sorry mate not a ford man so cant answer that was on a 220coupe where a t28 is almost a straight swap for are standard t25's, The place he had it from also made hybrids for a v good price.
Should think they would make you one with t3 flags for about Ł500ish, dont quote me on that though. Sorry if confused you mate.

 

Think your mate was telling me about his GT28 in this post https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...567&highlight=

Down nere the bottom of the first page.

Matt.

 

hmmm now that turbo would look nice on my engine

sod the t34

i want that

 

Yeah mate , T4 on a 1.6 i think is to big , on my 2.1 however it would go like fook .

loose a little drivability perhaps but monster power .

Next years car is gonna be a 2.0l turbo , 8.1 compression ( perhaps a litle high but its built now ) and a T4 with .63 housing ( maybe bigger ) 1000 cc injectors on MBE management .

Just want silly power and straight line grunt ,

Was on track yesterday and found that i had more than enough power , maybe to much for my novice experience , the car was just gettin to the corners befor i could compose myself , to fast in and shook my nerves a few times .

awesome fun tho

 

Also that turbos external wastegate so would need manifold mods.

And has a .82 exhaust housing, which makes it far bigger than even an RS500 T4

TBH that E.Bay ad makes me think the bloke hanst got a fucking clue what hes on about.

Such a big ex housing, but claiming 300bhp from it makes me think small compressor, which makes me think its just a turbo off a diesel truck of summat and totaly the wrong spec for a petrol application (dervs make much more exhaust gas so use bigger ex housings)
