as above really i have a 2wd saph cos which has had a full rebuild about 9k ago running stage 1 running 18psi with a radtec 500 cooler 3 inch mongoose system k&n filter. I was just wondering what power i would be running now and what sort of power i would be looking at with greens 3bar and a t34 .55. Also what is a safe amount of boost to run with the last spec cheers

 

i think you will be peaking at 18psi and holding 15psi you are probaly looking at about 270-290bhp go to greens ect and you will be getting about 360bhp

 

i think 360bhp is a bit optomistic imo, i would be happy with about 330 at about a held 24psi does this seem about right

 

that would be a nice figure to hit get groupA headgasket and then greens 3 bar andup rated actuator or and chip

 

i already have a group a gasket and a -31 whats reliability like on a stage 3 cos?

 

Around 285bhp if holding 18psi!!!!Turn it down to 15 before she collaspes thru det!Then around 270ish.

Stage 3's are reliable..stick to a held 1.5bar for about 320bhp and you will have a nice conversion.

 

so i am looking at a held boost pressure of around 22psi for say a just over the 300bhp mark. Will the standard clutch be good for this sort of power????

 

Yes..std clutch good for upto 370ish BHP.

 

the standard clutch will be ok if its the old style one , but the new ones from ford wont cope with no where near that!!

.55 is a good housing but i wouldnt go above 25psi on it as mine cracked like a bitch

 

were bouts in middlesbrough you from im from stockton on tees

 

yogi, in acklam near the coronation mate where abouts you from???

 

or yeah i no were that is im in norton near the colouseum how long you had ya cossie then
