had a bit of banter with a lad on another forum and he reckons he's got a T4 on his frst engine in his xr2.
firstly he's on a 165 chip and seems to be using an ERST downpipe/elbow combination.
he also reckons a mate ran a T4 on an Escort RS turbo and was spooled up by 3750rpm.
is he just chatting shite as i suspect?
or is there merit in what he's saying?

cheers

Stock manifold ? I very much doubt it LOL Their huge and simply wouldn't fit without a spacer and a LOT of fooking about.

Can you smell something ??

 

 

isnt tims (nms) a t4?

both me and tom scarlet have run a similar sized turbo to a t4 (but roller bearing cored)

tom on a hansen manifold and mine on a ava one

 

I know a t34 on standard manifold is very laggy not to mention if you could fit a t4 on there.

 

I'd imagine it's one of these Ebay T3/T4 oddball things, for about Ł200 and he has got carried away that it's a proper T4.

Like this piece of shit.....

Any turbo bigger than a T34 is going to need careful spec'ing of the engine by someone who knows what they are doing.

dont just bolt a huge turbo on and hope for the best, its likely to be very dissapointing.

 

NMS do run hybrid T4's, Tim will probably confirm.

 

that's what i was thinking too, it has a spacer between manifold and turbo, but it's the fivebolt arrangement on the exhaust side that got me a bit confussed.

 

i'm pretty sure Tim and Ollie have both ran T4's at some point

 

tim and ollie are using more than a 165 chip though on frst management in a pretty low spec engine.

 

I bet hes got his wires crossed and its a t34 or something.
even then with a 165 chip it would be useless lol

 

I very much doubt the 165 chip (or 195) contains a map to fuel for anything other than a stock T3, specially as we have no MAF sensor, it would either overfuel like crazy to accommodate bigger turbos or run extremely lean!

 

he's had a look and it's a T3/T4 jobby, should be off the car in the next few miles in a cloud of smoke me thinks
didn't think it was likely, he was adament though..until he properly looked at it.

 

what sort of rpm would a t4 spool up by?

 

the rev limiter lol

 

*takes a bow*

LOL.

 

/\ well done, now how's that gizzmo info
