Ok, In my search for 380-400bhp in my 2wd saff im aiming for the following spec:

Standard 205 block and head recently rebuilt
BD14 Inlet Cam and Verniers
4x4 Inlet Plenum
Siemens 55lb Injectors
044 pump
Full 3" exhaust
Air filter
500 cooler
Ally rad


Now then, I was going for a T34.48 with a chip to suit...... BUT...... A friend of mine who broke his cossie a year ago has a GT30 and will let me have it for a decent price.

My question is... Will a GT30 be overkill for my spec, or will it do a job?

Cheers Billy

 

IMO it is a bit overkill for your BHP goal, but I'd be interested to see what the actual difference in spool speed between a T34.48 and GT3071 was... does anyone know when each will make 1bar of boost on a 2.0 engine??


Cheers,
Grant

 

This is what I mean. I know a GT30 is probably a bit overkill, but how much difference will it really make?

 

I'm liking my spec as its brilliant on a t34.48.

 

And that spec is.........?

 

T34.48 live mapped can't go wrong.

 

Standard engine
T34.48 maram shafted
36psi
Live mapped... A proper awesome spec road car.. And fucking mega quick..!

 

The GT30 is a massive over kill, you really need to stick with a decent well specced t34 or maybe a T38, even this is over specced for what you are looking for. I would suggest a GT28r, amazing spool up and pretty much good for the power you are looking for

 

Cool


36psi?! Thats got wheelspin written all over it surely? I am interested tho.. Sounds cool

 

turbo technics t35 400bhp £650
or their t36 440 bhp £695
these are a t34 frame turbo
a t34 with a .48 turbine housing will not make 400 bhp

 

mines sweet at the mo as well for a change 55lb t34/55

 

It's good enough to scare most folk..!

I'll be at the rollers next week so I will let you know the power...

 

What power is yours making?

How does it feel to drive?

 

whats it like getting the power down,you on standard rims?

 

Lol! I bet it is!

Ok cool, let me know how you get on

 

i haven't a clue how much power,engine was built by me last yr.all standaed internals cams etc.on 30 psi of boost (360-380 bhp?)and it feels fucking quick but then i have the car completly striped out.got quaife lsd and 235 r888 and it still spins it tits of.heres a little video of me passing my mates supposed 400hp impreza on track last month

It's ok in the dry mate.

 

you lucky bugger, love that track, only seen bikes on it. the go cart track over the road is ace, and the drive up from the n125 on the new road is pretty cool too. and its sunny

 

what suspension/beam set up you using?

 

Bilsteins Ahmed bajoo springs... Standard beam with camber shims... It's drives great and deals with the power very good.

 

If it's still spinning on 235 R888's, you need to get your rear beam sorted

 

quite spoilt for tracks here in southern spain,got ascari 1hr away 2.5 with trailer.jerez 1hr, quadix 4hr, portimao takes 7-8 with trailer, jarama in madrid as well thats about the furthest ive been.the best for me is portimao.the facilites are amazing.the track fucking massive over 4miles long and theres plenty of run of space if you get it wrong and portugal is dead cheap well apart from fuel which is a fucking joke there.

heres a video from Ascari from the other yr,got third fastest time in rwd class in a timeattack event held there

its got just about everthing else,could do with a better rear suspension as got avo rd sport springs /shocks at the moment as the cars progressed from a rd to track so yeh theres a few things left,but misses is nearly 7 months preggers so my shit will have to wait for a while now, any ways it always a good reason to go to the garage

 

i will be back over to porto in june, hit the cart track up and watch some racing, love it over there, shame i cant take the car in hand luggage.

 

bill mate no disrespect mate but do you think you have the skill for 400 bhp rwd

will be totally different that your 300

just be very careful as your still quite new to the world of man wheel drive bud

 

Born ready

 

rear beam got ggr diff mount , shims from mike r and fully bushed,was gonna buy bayjoo spring but when i asked they needed 5 orders so i went a different way but then i needed coilovers on front to get bigger tyres on so i realy need to get some coils on the rear one day

 

only 1 way to find out!!
