Just wondering, while I am due to collect my T34 soon. Car spec will be T34, RS500 IC, Mongoose, Greens, WRC gasket, Samco, -31, 3-Bar, ported head, chip, going for 350 ish I guess for the moment...

...But next year when I have some money again, I'm wondering what the next step is and where I can go with the T34?

 

what kind of build are you going for? the T34 in the correct spec would do 400hp

 

I'm going for whatever I can without any engine work, if you get my drift.

 

If you dont want to do any engine work then you are limited in what you can do as you havnt said many details , I see you have a ported head? where did you get this done or was it on the car when you bought it?

so the bottom is standard 200 block with standard pistons. If this is the case then a VERY good conversion is light blues on standard comp running around 28psi to give you a very healthy 360hp

 

Yeah I had the head ported & WRC gasket fitted after my cambelt snapped

And why light blues? I thought greens were the way to go??

 

you might be getting confused with the 'dark blues' found on standard 4x4's im on about motorsport 'light blues' otherwise known as 400's , these are between greys and greens and are a really good injector!

 

Ah, I understand you now

Just found some light blues on eBay too

 

are they brand new?? make sure you have them flow tested before you put them in

not many places do 'off the shelf' chips for lights blues so you might be better off having a live map as you have a ported head this is probably a better option anyway.

speak to a couple of the tuners on here about mapping and im sure they will sort you out a fast cossie

 

Why do I need to get them flow tested?

 

because they can be dirty....and if one injector doesnt flow...then its rebuilding time again...

 

Yeah that figures, but how do I get them flow tested??

 

I run this spec

Standard Engine running standard cams and 205 block.
WRC head gasket
Greys
3 Bar
Forge RS500 intercooler
Custom Ramair filter
-31
T34 .63 custom Turbo
Mongoose
Fully mapped by Karl Norris-Spikes 30psi and holds 28psi to limiter

It is producing a good 360-370BHP and that is without pushing the engine too much

Go for Greys mate

 

Wow yes I like the sound of 360-370 hosses

My spec is/will be the same kit except I will be needing Greys and Ramair filter. Is the Ramair filter necessary? And what is custom about your one?

 

if you go on greys....then do it with closed loop control...from MSD

 

i would go greys you would get aprox 400bhp with 28psi held if the turbo would make it on a ported head i had the same spec and was estimated at apx 400bhp with very similar tourque figure due to the 35psi boost spike call stu at M.S.D he will put you right

 

very nice tiff asd thats the spec i should be running pretty soon as i am selling my light blues to get some greys, fitting a cooler and t34 and then going to see karl. Should be good having close to 400 bhp

 

The filter was speced by Karl to suit the turbo

Like Gus has said, with your ported head you will see a bit more closer to the 400 mark

 

go greys mate and closed loop i have this but tony at turbosystems did mine i run 28 psi with a t34 hybrid and no dump valve as you probably guessed

 

What's this "closed loop" all about then?

 

dont go for greys they are old hat. im running light blues on a 400 bhp engine mapped by ahmed 6 years ago works perfect better fuel consumption than greys and no need for closed loop {more expense}. how much are the light blues going for as mine are for sale at the right price so is the chip and pectel board and 3 bar. i know my injecters are spot on as they have been cleaned and tested 3 times in 6 years

 

thinking of getting a saph soon and if i was to ge for a heavy tune for 400 bhp...if i had a t34 what would be the spool up time like?? what would be the best turbo for no more than 420 bhp??

 

Closed loop:

This is a conversion only us supply and the same results can be had up to 750cc per cylinder at present. 1000cc being tested soon.

Theres a LOT more posts knocking about PF all about it, including the technicalities

 

turbosystems do this aswell stu

 

Sorry, should have said only us have developed.
Tony is one of the few dealers that can sell it.

 

My t34 made 450 horses at 30psi

 

i think you are on drugs mate t34 will never flow enough air to make that horse power 410 maybe 420 tops

 

Remember, this guy has NOS in his username...

 

I run a T34 .63 and Greys, i hit full boost 29psi at 3300rpm and it holds 27psi to the limiter

 

my last engine at 34 psi peak ran 418bhp and 409 lbft on an engine dyno(7.56:1,cams,ported head,200block,rs500 cooler,etc etc....on grey injectors)with a .63 t34 mate.

 

Sounds good, shame I can't afford serious engine work or I'd run that much boost too

 

u can run that much boost on a std engine with a t34 m8

 

I like the sound of that

 

Yes mr space hopper! Engine advantages 450bhp with a t34! 8 greens and loads of other stuff and a little sniff saw big bhp no struggle

 

Like i do

 

was that on a rolling road or a dyno

 

EA only has a rolling road

but i am guessing that was with nitrous too

lets get the graph up or if you haven't got one , phone paul and get him to email you it

 

Phone him and ask bout Tazs cossie he built it up it made something like 447bhp on a t34 with .63 housing and 75 shot. I dont ave the print out no more cos i sold the car to get a 4x4.
I just wanted to prove that a t34 can make big power it just needs a boost

 

yes it can make big power but wont make 450 without nos or am i reading it wrong was that 447 plus nos. rolling roads are always generous anyway i take it you guys are EA fans then
