Hi all,

I was reading on MSD website that you can have 380BHP + on a standard engine running
there chip, 3bar map sensor, -34 actuator, T34-55 and siemens 55s.

Can this really be achieved on a standard engine with with standard pistons, standard compression and standard cam.

I thought the standard compression on a cosworth would be wrong to run this power.

Cheers
Cossie Ray

 

Yeah no problems

 

They are the "boyz" and yes it can. Go for it mate

 

me mate had 450 with standard bottom end

 

i know its not 2wd, but i have just fitted this conversion to my BT escos, it was stage 1 before this, it is now fitted and im having it checked on a rolling road with a power run on thursday so i will post up the results. i have give it some stick in first and second and it goes like . fuel consumption is way better normal driving aswell.

 

Yes you can also achieve this easily with anyones stuff, on a T34.48, as the nice chap at CR turbos used to have on his very own 2wd cossie, and more, greys will also achieve this perfectly IF mapped correctly with ace emissions and economy.

has this always been the case , what i mean is, is this a fairly recent thing, i had my last cossie 8 years ago and back then to get 380-400 bhp you would need low compression, flowed head etc etc, is this just because of the advances in mapping.

 

i had an msd chip in my sapph with T4 and greys ect on a standard engine and it ran a treat and went like fuck too just wish i had a better headgasket lol

 

380 on a t34.48 & greys ?

 

yes mate 3 bar t34 grp a headgasket greys chip, done

 

Had this conversion on my saph and it's awesome but ive gone for more power now lol.

 

Greedy fooker...Always the case mate, you always want more lol , i had a bit fuck about with a scooby on sunday night and was like fuck it i want it faster

 

What have you got now then Kev?? didn't realise you'd moved up in power bud, thought you had plenty for that 4x4 box...

 

Funky new SCS engine pete.

 

Yep. Runs really well and goes like stink! For ultimate reliability it's recommended to do a head gasket and oil breather upgrade as well.

 

You kept that quiet Nephew.... very nice too.


Ray,

Sorry for hi-jacking,

To answer your qustion, yes mate it's a doddle to do and makes a great road car too..

 

Cheers guys.

Much appreciated..

 

Certainly don't need to lower CR's like most do, even for some 330-350 tunes, better ecu control, or rather better injector control has played a massive part in tuning, esp over the clockwork L1/6 etc.
I'm on greys with 0.97% CO with 137PPM, with just under 190,000 miles on the bottom end, but I do flush every oil change, I'm only running 17/18 psi at the mo due to wear, but yes 380 easy on a .48 t34.

What size exhaust would you need for that sort of power would 2.5 be big enough or would you need 3inc?

 

Scarnny, 3" preferably bud, that's not to say a 2.5" wouldn't....i sound like i'm on the fence there don't i?? but you get my meaning..

 

So what your saying is 380 can be done with 2.5. Only asking because I'm ltd for space and don't think I've got room for a 3inc pipe.

 

realy didnt think 380 was possible on a t34.48, its what im running on my stock engine with greys and all the other goodies, peak 30 and holding 28 all the way through, shoukld get it on the rollers realy to see what shes making, may change to .55 though as it hasnt quite got the guts at top of revs

 

My old 3dr made 363 bhp with similar torque on T34.48 Greys, that peaked @ 32 psi and dropped off as they do, was a great road car that AND if i ever do mod the current 3dr it'll be same again...

 

is a perfect setup but lags top end punch on the small housing

 

It did over 150 regularly so it never botherd me.... and whilst BIG bhp cars are/were struggling for grip, you're gone..

Just have a browse through some old Performance Ford mags when they did all the tests. 0-60 0-100 etc, T34 cars aint bad.. neither were Tiffs & Popeyes Gunship T3 cars..

 

Engine internals are fine, I think it used to be the done thing everyone lowered CRS for some reason, loads of boost and away you went don't know why as it makes for a horrible drive. With .55 you would see an easy 380 but think that would be the max for .48

[quote=Pete 3dr;4837758]It did over 150 regularly so it never botherd me....

so did mine lastnight

 

get it done fella.

 

What would be the max bhp for mine out of curiousity?? T35.63, 500 cooler, greys, L6 with stage 3 chip?

 

Where do you guys recommend getting a t34 from? and what would i expect to pay?

 

Hard to say a MAX Joe, but i'd go for 370-390 give or take 10bhp eitherway..

Turbo Technics/ CR Turbos/ AET Turbos...

 

Ebay mate or on the cosworth parts for sale section on this site. They normally go about Ł250.00 used. .55 housings are quite rear so turbo will probably come the .48 housing.

 

One on the bay. You will have to check the condition of it, if it is used.

What boost,spec of engine etc ?

 

Vince at CR turbos

 

Stop making your car better than mine! lol

 

Lol , quaiffe diffs to be fitted yet dan.

 

Money bags these Scottish fookers.............

 

haha, must be alot of good jobs up there!

 

Thanks Pete, thats what I was hoping for. Think I'll get it set up for that then lock it down to 350bhp.
