Can any tell me is there any thing to be ganed by switching from a T34 to a T38 turbo on my 3dr Cosworth any input on this would be grate thanks .

 

About 100bhp on the right spec with a TT T38

Steve

 

its is really what spec and what version t38 mate

cr t38 standar engine around 60 bhp

as steve proved with his asda spec around 100 bhp more

 

not much more money you could go gt30 route thats wot id have but ive paide for my turbo now

 

Like Steve has said though on the right spec, his had more than just a turbo swap IIRC

i went from a T34.55 on greens to a SCS Spec T38 on 72lb blacks live mapped by nms

seems as drivable as it was on the t34, but pulls alot harder and holds it alot better

 

The motor is running a Swedish inlet black 55 injectors BD14 inlet cam pocketed 4x4 pistons dubbel vale springs wasted spark rs500 inter cooler L6 ECU and a 3 inch pipe

 

And at the mo iv got a T34 with a 63 rear on it I think that's right it's the bigger of the 3 sizes

 

tt38 then mate from turbosystems ! have you got a decent breather ?

 

Yes mate breather set up is ok and works fine

 

cool sounds like ur set then !! the t38 sells is a great turbo but god knows why its called a 38 as it moves more air than t4

 

A mate of mine has a turbosystems t38 with a billet wheel for sale, pm me if your interested

 

i wouldnt bother with a t38 personally and just go for a gt30 - much better turbo and more or less the same price if you look about

 

depends on what t38 you mean to what gt30 rans

 

I'm running a Cr turbos roller bearing T38, and as much as I like it, I'm changing to a GT 3071r

 

Jay a GT30 turbo can be had for around 1k which is more or less what a T38 costs.

Mine is a GT3076r so a bit more money but the way i see it - its future proof as i will need to bring the rest of the spec up to scratch if im going to max the turbo out.

A t38 will be maxed out around 450-480 bhp whereas a GT30 will sit there comfortably with a lot more to go.

 

and i was under the impression a gt3076r will only just tip 500 atf but the 82r will do more
