I had my t34 on my low comp 1600 and its was seriously laggy.

i wouldnt go with a t34 on a rs turbo; great power punch, but seriously laggy

determine what power you want and then fit the smallest turbo you can to achieve that power

my 1600 wasnt that bad for the 2 days i actually had it on the road

jus get a hybrid t3 variant of your current escort t3 the t34 will be very laggy, and no body likes lots of lag
a quick responsive engine is the way to go

i would speak to your prefered tuner / who ever getting turbo form
tell them your engine spec and then get a turbo to suit

what was the lag like when you put the gt30 on then ?? hows the car getting on is it still at jam

there was hardly any lag on the old gt30 and tubular manifold , theres a bit more on this 1 but no where near as bad as the t34, cars gone back to sort out the paint

i use a t34 with 0.48 t3 hot and dash 23 0.60 t4 cold , although laggy its a lot easier at launch than my old straight t3 o.48 hot and 0.42 cold , which just spun into third.
awesome power at the top , but i have picked up surge under load in 4th and 5th gear - figured its down to the restrictive efi throttle as my previous setup with the sidedraughts didnt have this issue. currently have a 70mm throttle in mind with trumpets which i will bolt to the lower half of the efi manifold
recently made 153kw and 285nm on a syno day , this is without having the motor set up , pure road tune with a egt and an af meter. should see about 180kw atw when sorted

Id stick a Stage 2 T3 on mate, good for 250bhp and no lag.

I have T34 iin my essi and lag is verry verry big.... from start every car is faster as my But when I put 75mm throttle body and custom inlet manifold now is better... On this time I have boost 1,3 bara and is good. What is anti lag system??

carlyrs

spoke to a mate runnin a simlar spec engine on t34, hes put me off it alreeady without even readin the replies on here, his isnt hittin full boost till around 4.5k, waste of time without anti lag but management is a while off yet! cheers
