as above really on a cossie engine,ive got an rs 5oo size intercooler,bd10 cams,standard bottom end just bored out slightly to .5,4x4 inlet,will buy a 2wd exhaust housing,havnt got injectors or chip yet

 

This is going to be the post of 2010 that conatins the biggest load of bollocks , lol

sorry mate but at least you will be well known as the starter of a quality post full of shit

 

throw the bd10s away i speaking from experience from putting them in my car there not known as the lag cam for nothing lol , there designed for a restricted rally turbo engine

but power well if the turbo isnt over spooled as some tuners like to it will see 380 ish

 

lol i only need a rough idea,im aiming for about 350 or just above so just need to know if the turbo is capable before i think about buying one

 

that turbo is good for that up to 380 want a better turbo use a gt30

 

what cams would be better then,the car will be 4x4 so if i can try get a niceish spread of power it might help with the reliability of the gearbox

 

dont have the money for a gt30 as im trying to keep costs down to a certain extent

 

standard cams are great up to over 400 bhp and just just dont have a massive over spooling boost spike map then the box will be better

 

ok cheers,its all going in my mk4 escort estate so wont need a massive spike of power anyway really cause of the weight,i will keep an eye out for some standard cams then once i try and get rid of my bd10s

 

i sold mY 10'S for £150 and im NYRS spares will have a set of bd8's knocking around

 

Im gutted

I thought we would had the usuall " well i got 430bhp at the door mirror on jo bloggs rolling road " replies , lol

 

what are the bd10s good for then if the standard cams seem to produce better results,or do the 10s work better at higher power

 

the night is yet young paul still might get the rolling road bullshit power reports havnt seen a true 400 bhp t34/35 since leaded fuel unless you spool the fook out of them lol

 

lol im glad havnt had answers like that as ive got the answers i needed quicker

 

yes they will move the power up slightly you just loose bottom end onto mid range power

 

You are so lucky Jay got here first mate with what is IMO decent advice

 

would a .55 exhaust housing be ok for what i want or would a .48 exhaust housing work better

 

i love .55 t35's think its the best combo you will see over 350 on one and it will be nice and punchy and hold on to the power better than a 48

 

oh right fair enough im not going to make any use of the power band of the cams that much then really

 

Jones,

If you,re only going for 350 bhp then i,d go!!!!!!

I,d say the turbo will max out around 370-380 bhp, as for injectors, you could go Greys or Siemens 55lb seem to be favourable at the min..

I had a T34.48 on my 3dr 3yrs ago with Greys, Live NMS map, 500 cooler peaking @ 32psi and it made 360bhp with similar torqu and it was a lovely road car..

There,s some on here that reckon they,ve got 390 on a T34.48, i don,t reply to them....

 

dont know you know how you drive lol

 

oh right ok then i will sort out buying the turbo then,i did think the .55 would be better but wasnt sure if it would make to much difference at the power im aiming for

 

you never get those valuable minutes back do you chap

 

it will be more responsive than a 63 thats for sure

 

the car is only going to get used for mainly shows and nice weekends plus with the 4x4 box i wont give it to much stick,i want a nice responsive engine so if the standard cams are going to be better for that then i will go with them

 

ok cheers mate thats a great help,are there any advantages of the siemens atall over the greys

 

Jonesy,

They say the Spray pattern is better, again, can,t pass comment as i,ve never used Siemens, Greys were good for me and my mapper...

If i were thinking of changing my Injectors then i think i,d give the Siemens ago, mailny out of curiostiy tbh..

But we know what that did to the cat..

 

oh right fair enough i will see what comes up when ive got the money then

yeh thats true lol curiosity can sumtimes be better just left alone

 

cheers for the help everybody its very much appreciated

 

to be fair base it on the figures below, (subject to rollin road)
Real world figures on standard cams and head

.48 340ish BHP
.55 360-370ish
.68 380-390ish

As for injectors, i believe Siemens have a beter spray pattern, 120 as opposed to 90 from memory

Been out ford scene for a while though
