as in bhp wise, i ask as i have just brought a brand new standerd turbo as mine was wanked. i diddnt have much choice really as im sqint and the only way was to get one was on credit from my work, and as my work dont have accounts will burton power etc it had to be a standerd. just wondering what sort of power can be made pressuming other work has been done to the engine until your gun blow the turbo
thanks

 

PF Nick made 250 odd didn't he??

 

he did but its not power that kills a turbo is boost or not warmin the turbo up or coolin it down 14psi shoul b ok

 

Your answer is irrelevant?? The question was 'What are the limits of the standard turbo bhp wise'??

IMO, the standard turbo cannot go far beyond 200bhp, if atall. Whatever boost you run it at.

Not warming it up or cooling it down will kill it, but that's not what was being asked.

 

my tuner said that you can't get above 195bhp (genuine bhp) @ 18 psi without headwork

i got 188bhp

 

Was that him saying that you can't get above 195bhp without headwork on a standard turbo? Or that you can't get above 195bhp without headwork with any turbo?

 

Ahh yes, you fuckin loved that didnt you!

 

standard turbo, it just runs out of puff.

he told me i needed to shell out for a hybrid turbo next, oh joy lol

 

the maximum that a standard t3 can blow is 16-17 psi if you want it to last and that is on the limit, i don't know how the fuck pf nick was runnin his at 19 psi all that time, tbh i dont think that was a standard t3

 

check out gramme roberts s1 in last fast ford he runs 1.4bar 290bhp on standard t3

 

sorry its hybrid
