What turbo should i get for my Escort Turbo with the following engine spec...

1600CVH
0.5mm oversise pistons with 1mm machined off to lower compression
Lightned and balanced bottom end - flywheel, crank, pistons and rods
Ported and polished cylinder head
Piper T2 camshaft and vernier
Pace charge cooler (mite be being changed for a GRS cooler)
Scorpion exhaust
Bayoo chip

Do i go for a cossie 4x4 item, an off the shelf hybrid or speak to a turbo manufactur and see what they recomend.

Any advice/contacts much appreciated.

Cheers

 

Any one?

 

4x4 unit would be up to the job deffo, depends if you plan futher mods to be honest......

 

What bits do you use off the 4x4 turbo?

I persume you would keep the bearing housing and exhaust housing/elbow off the escort? It it just the compressor housing and shaft off the 4x4 turbo?

 

comp wheel and cover which i can supply

 

So i would be keeping the standard escort shaft/exhaust wheel and just fitting a new compressor wheel and compressor housing cover?

How would i go about replacing the 270bearing with a 360, is it just a straight swap of does this involve more parts?

Cheers.

 

i use a hybrid t34 its gr8 loads of boost all the time, when it was on the test bed at work it held 27psi peak 31psi now running 22psi peak dont want to fill it just yet

 

yeah standard escort shaft, 360 bearing is always advised for increased boost ran and involves core machining for fixing bearing to core

 

I got this from a website. They were testing all kinds of turbo's on an S2..

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Finding the right turbo for the car took allot of trial and error, time and money. On and off the rolling road trying to find the best one. Many were tried and this one gave the best torque and bhp figures.

Stage 3 T34 hybrid .48 housing / 55 trim / 360

i hope your planning on changing the piper T2 if you go for a 4x4 unit mate

 

out of intrest why would that be?!
