You may or may not know my turbo has just died

It spat a blade out during a gear change - I shouldnt have removed the dump valve

It was a surge free copy of the MD240 roller bearing jobbie rated at 450 bhp.
30psi by 3200 rpm

I have now had 2 of these fail and have now decided to have something
different rather than risk another failure.

I have seen a few of these new T4 replacments which are basically a
complete T4 (not roller bearing) but have a GT30 turbine housing.
I just mapped a friends car with one of these and was so much
less laggy than an original T4 that I have decided to get one myself.

My next question may sound silly to some but there is method in my madness.

Will a T4 fit on a 4x4 cast manifold with a bit of manipulation ?

I sooooooooo hate the 2WD swan neck manifold

I just hate the space it takes up, needs a turbo damper and
is prone to breaking head manifold studs.

My idea is to make a low lag, long term reliable 450 bhp engine !!!

I know the 4x4 manifold is restrictive after about 440 bhp which
does not matter to me but is less laggy low down !

I have noticed in america that many tuners have turned there backs
on roller bearing technology as it has proved to be less reliable
and much more expensive without providing much gains.

 

Simon - I'm pretty Sure they do.

As Jon M600 had a T4 on a 4b4 manifold on his car before Brom got hold of it for upgrades! So they do go on it...

But unsure what work is actually required to make it fit!

 

Smit, Thanks. May just buy it anyway and "make" it fit !!!

 

Ask Brom he's sure to tell ya!

 

a t4 will fit on a 4wd ex manifold.....

 

Simon,
Yes a T4 does fit on a 4x4 manifold. I had one on my Sapphire with a 4x4 manifold before I went 500bhp.

Now could you please tell me when you intend on replying to my emails and phone messages ?

 

Thanks for replys guys !

Mike, I will speak to you in the morning.

 

and also if you will EVER send me the transfer documents for the plate?

 

Tsk, the car broke and I wasn't even within 50 miles of it.....

 

and my emails also..

 

simon, where from as i am in tthe market for a new turbo myself???????

 

T4

You'll be using greys next

 

Lee I'm sure he's allready got some PINK (JAP) injectors that flow the same as greys

 

u know pink injectors well i believe douglas!

 

Thanks Lewis I forgot.....got a car with 8 x greens, and a car with 8 x pinks........

 

Fuel consumption is not a issue for then Douglas!

whats better on fuel the MR2 or the cossie!?

 

Cossie is more thirsty..............but gets driven harder anyway

MR2 is for pimping/kerb crawling

 

Can I borrow the mr2 1 night then Doug!

I was suprised I fitted in it to b honest! got's to love them seats! recon they would look lovely in my jap crap
