my boss recently bought a small turbo escort and up until recently all was fine.he now wants to upgrade it to a t34 from the t28,anyone know whats involved in this?Is it just a case of swapping the turbo's over and getting it re-mapped?or does he need another manifold?

any help appreciated

cheers

 

im going to be doing the same too mine v soon hopefully, a bigger turbo t34, t34 turbo manifold, and a different ecu setup, either reverting back to the webber marelli on the large turbo escorts or going something new like omex or autotronic,

 

hi,nearly finished my t34 conversion,not as simple as i first thought,had a budget of £800 im now up to 1600 and still going,pm me if you have any probs,

 

Why bother MSD can get big power fron the st escos now.

 

Exactley, why down grade to older engine management.

 

not what i was told when i called stu's place
four week's ago. The car they were testing on
popped the head gasket and the owner had
taken it away,so work on devolpment had
stopped until car comes back or new car is found..

Obviously this may have changed, but I don't think so coz stu was going to call me, when development was completed.

 

My car is the MSD test car Apologies for the long wait, it has taken nearly a year as I have spent over 12k on upgrading everything on the car to make the new engine reliable as part of a package , hopefully will be well over 400BHP on std small turbo management.

Only thing left to do now is get it fired up and run in, and I have just booked 3 weeks off work to get it sorted.... So we might be getting results soon

 

if anyone wants to offest the cost of their convesrion by swapping their EECIV plenum (good for 450+ bhp) for my 4x4 one (work same but don't flow well over 450bhp) then give me a pm

Keep us posted mate. I have phoned up a few times to be told you where still doing this..... Not long now

 

Spot on Wil, keep us posted.

 

Small turbo to big turbo an upgrade, dont think so

 

small turbo cars do drive superbly, another option is to go GT28 and keep the response and aim for around 350BHP, but on mine before it let go, Stu had it pulling 25Psi at well under 3k on a T34.48

 

thanks for the response guys think he is just lookin to put the standard one back on,ill let him see this post to see if he will be interested in tryin to get a bit more power out of what he's got
