hi there

my turbo has just given up the ghost on my Rs Turbo'd Van.

i have somewhere in the garage a T34 off my cossy, have many off you fitted these???? if so how much is it??

its always better to ask the people who know!!

thanks in advance

 

will fit fairly easy....will have to turn the housings though....you'll need to make/buy a down pipe.....to be honest if the engine is standard i wouldnt bother ....the t34 is way too big for a rs turbo unless your running massive power...

 

what power do you want??you can see 2800 on a t3

 

got rolling road print outs for 180bhp, so you think i should try and get a standard T3???

 

i would say stage 3 t3 with 55trim and 48 housin,works really well on that engine.

 

Stage 2 T3 is the absolute best turbo for you spec, if you contact turbotechnics they will say the same, if you were running zetec or 1900cvh a stage 3 + would be suited for that.

My mate tried a T34 hybrid on a standard Erst and it was useless.

Neil@fastford had a write-up about turbo's in his section of the mag and stage 2 was recommended.

 

i agree t34 on standard lump,waste of time,but ive put stage 3 t3s, on 2 of ma m8s cars with very good results,its only my opinion at the end of day its ur choice m8, and setup is obviously big part of it aswell.

 

All depends on the engine.....

T34 is perfect for a monster such as Wuls


I ran the Stage 2 T3 after talking to Turbo Technics, i was hesistant as i had been there.


Overall it was great, brill at picking speed up out of corners but for me i felt it was just lacking at the top end a bit

I have upgraded to a TT Stage 3 T3 and that seems spot on for a nice alrounder

In the past i ran a 4X4 Cosworth T3 and i loved that!

 

4x4 all the way.. sell the t34 to a 4x4 owner and fit there old turbo to you fez...

 

well, i fitted it anyway, just to see what its like.

running it at 12psi, it makes me laugh

1st gear is a waste of time, but once its in third and above it just keeps on pulling.

would never take it on the track or up the strip, doesnt start pulling until approx 4800 rpm

but does the 130mph easy, we'll see how long it lasts (might save me a bit of money on tyres )
