how mutch power/boost do you run with original pistons and rods?
i have a 2wd t3 t35 hybrid. how mutch boost should i run?

 

My brothers Fiesta RS Turbo was runnin at 211bhp on a totally stock bottom end.

 

I ran 300bhp with the standard Mahles, although at the time they had been machined to lower the C/R. I wouldn't fancy taking standard rods much past a proper 220bhp though.

 

Neither would I but it didn't stop me Think I need to sort that for when the car resurfaces

 

at the moment i drive with a cossie 2wd turbo but no i have the same with t35 compressor turbine.

how changes the turbo lag? biger or smaler?

 

Ran mine with a standard bottom end bar arp rod bolts at 1.5bar making 245bhp, stayed in one piece for over 2 years getting thrashed on track/pod/brunters outing etc, never missed a beat, needs to be on some form of efi and well mapped though imo. The demise of that engine turned out to be a shattered piston skirt on inspection not a bent rod like i was expecting, and they were only AE pistons, not even mahles
