does anyone know the best place to get a turbo dynamics md240r turbo from.ive been advised it is probably the best one for my car.or does anyone have any other ideas???????
200 block,low comp,long studs,wrc spec ported head,8 injectors,bd14 cams,rs500 cooler.running t34 at the mo on blitz boost controller.optional nos.

 

turbo dynamics maybe?

 

i suppose what i meant was who stocks them or do you have to get them direct?or any other turbo alternatives to consider

 

A T4 would be to laggy but its the sort of size turbo u need a md240r i belive with goodies will cost 1500 notes

 

i suppose you have to pay top dollar to go fast..........best get the 3 door sold quick

 

Those MD240R's are shite in my oppinion and will surge like fook at a good level of boost! Don;t waste your money buy a T34 or a T38

 

T38 all the way (Universal Turbo's Version) will be ideal for you.

Look what it did for me

 

its got a t34 on it now running just over 30 psi,which as you can imagine is quick.its just that desire to go faster/or find the best set up for me

 

there is a t38 on passion ford for sale,would that be a universal turbos one i wonder.i was supposed to be buying it earlier on this week but car troubles meant i couldnt make it.

 

what about a t4?are they too laggy for fast road use ---you hear conflicting stories all the time-its so confusing

 

What exhaust housing is on the T34?
Remeber more power to brag about won't necassarily make your car feel that much quicker but will almost certainly make it feel more laggy
Been there done that got the T shirt

 

to be very honest im not sure how to tell the difference between them as ive never needed to know in the past.any help on identifying them and how many variations are there???????

 

The exhaust housing will have it written on there it will say A/R?? Might be hard to find but it'll be there

 

right then i will have a look tomorrow.how many are there and what difference do they make

 

have a look here,

i think there's better turbo out there, and cheaper.

 

Basically there are two turbo's which are refered too as T38's, and both seem to work very well.

One is what I have which is Universal Turbo's Version, and the other is Turbo Techniques Version, which is infact slightly larger. Both have different driving charachteristics, and it really depends what you want from your car.

Big Punch, Minimal Turbo Lag, and Reasonable Power..... Go for Universal Turbo's version.

Big Punch, slightly more lag, and the possibility of slightly more top end power, then people tend to like the Turbo Techniques Version. Both Very Very Good Though.

Remember though, it's not all about big bhp numbers, it's how the car drives. No good having 500 bhp at 7000rpm, and no power below 6000rpm. Better off with say 400bhp between 3500rpm and 7000rpm in a nice long power band.

Obviously alot depends on the rest of the engine, but your spec sounds similar to mine, so should give you a good indication of what is possible but only with all the right ancillaries.

 

Your t34 is the .63 mate the bigger housing thats why you got so much power even if you got a t4 least you got the als and nos to remove the lag so either way ur laugthing

 

Got an MD240R sat on the shelf in the garage doing nothing.

 

BEING QUITE PUT OFF WITH THEM NOW,BUT I SUPPOSE ITS ALL DOWN TO PREFERENCE REALLY-JUST DONT WANT TO BUY ONE AND IT GO TITS UP

 

WOULD A T38 GIVE ME ANY SIGNIFICANT GAINS AGAINST THE T34 I HAVE NOW?

GOD THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!!
SHOULD I LEAVE IT AS IT IS
SHOULD I GO FOR THE TURBO DYNAMICS ONE
SHOULD I GET A T38
SHOULD I GET A T4


HELP ME PLEASE

 

Yep, it's very confusing, and really depends on what you want. Now I know who's car it was and the spec, it makes it a little easier.

The Universal Turbo's version of the T38 (Can only speak from experience of this one and not the Turbo Technics Version) will definately spool up as early as your T34, It was specifically designed to do exactly that. But, where the T34 runs out of puff at about 6200rpm (Depends on Engine Spec), the T38 keeps producing good boost 2bar + all the way to my red line of 7400rpm (Soft Cut), and would keep producing above that. (I set my soft cut to this to keep the engine reliable).

Everyone has their own favorites, but I can speak from experience of both a T4 (Too much lag for me) and the T38.

Karl Norris who built my engine, was impressed and explained it as a T34 on steroids....Lol. Comes on boost like a T34, But keeps producing the boost well past 7000rpm, which the T34 is unable to do.

 

I NEED TO SPEAK TO KELCOS AGAIN ABOUT WHICH T38 HE HAS FOR SALE.HE GOT IT FROM A1 RALLYSPORT I BELIEVE SO NOT SURE WHICH ONE.I SEEM TO REMEMBER HIMTELLING ME HE HAD ONE FROM MARK SHEAD AND IT WAS TOO FIERCE SO HE GOT THIS ONE FROM STEVE SCOTT,BUT NEVER FITTED IT

 

i know steve scott uses vince at uni turbo's, so i guess Kelcos's is a uni turbo.

 

Just get it bought or i will

 

fook it go t4

 

or a AET gt30.

i know m.a.d tried and tested them with top results.

 

T34.. massive gearbox killing punch and over 30 psi for 420 bhp then dies


T38 ... 27 psi.. 440 bhp and a torque curve as straight as my sexual history!


guess what i went for!

 

must admitt,im liking the sound of a t38 more and more.....remember them coming out but not heard much about them since,best get some pennies out!not feed the kids/dogs for a bit and hope my 3 door sells

 

bought a t38 universal turbos model.looks similar in physical size to t34 but inside looks much bigger........get it fitted and then mapping!
