what does you tunner say when you ask him this??

but why o why have you got an t34 with only 182bhp that must take 2 weeks to come on boost and be so undriverable

WTF!? Are you running 2psi?

nickrsturbo1990

lol datrs how i brought the car and am going to change the turbo to a stage 2 t3 turbo :P

nickrsturbo1990

i only brought the car weekend and dont no what psi i am running how can i turn it up????? should i be getin mor than 182 from this set up???

©hatter Box

sell the t34 and get and stage 2 turbo and get a good cam with head work done. your see over 220bhp

Fair enough mate. It all depends on the rest of the spec of the engine but you should have a lot more power IMO. How come you are going to change the turbo? Is it really laggy? If I were you mate I would get in touch with a tuner who can set up your car and ask them the best course of action. Problem is not many companies set gotech up I don't think.

mate by the sounds of it you should take it to a tuner,just randomly turning up the boost isnt a good thing get to a tuner.(jamsport with your management)and ask them advice.get it set up/checked over.see what they think.

nickrsturbo1990

to be honest, the car dont feel that impressive for 182bhp..... and im nt sure if it is anyfin to do with the turbo or if the car isnt set up tidy but i hav a receipt for a rolling road set up in jamsport 5 months ago

zvhturbo29rs

iTrader: (7)

didnt think they would have set it up on the t34 running that power must be on boost so so late.get on the phone to them mate,might have records of the car under its reg and they could tell you what they hink or thought of it when they did it.or just go see them.good blokes up there

nickrsturbo1990

im a 3 hour drive away from jamsport you see...... so im in a bit of a confussin situation u see....... what the best thing i can do is it keep the t34 or get a new t3 nd set it up or set it up onb the t34????????


and will they turn the boost up in the setup in jamsport.....

i have a switch inside the car on the dash that changes it frm low to high boost but seem to hav mor lag on the high boost?????

nickrsturbo1990

4000rpm the turbo kicks in if thats any help???

zvhturbo29rs

iTrader: (7)

thats well late mate.should be in at bout2500 i believe. id change the t34 for sure mate.and as said before get on the phone to jamsport and ask about when they set it up.

phil_rs

iTrader: (3)

Yes they will turn the boost up during the setup but they will charge an extra 30mins labour even though it didn't take any longer than the 2 hours they said it would take to setup

nickrsturbo1990

oh rite i thought 4000 rpm was late. but i dnt get full boost till bout 4500 lol...... time to save for a t3 then

If your bottom end (Crank, Rods, Pistons) are standard then ditch the lag monster (T34) and get your stage 2 T3 and aim for the 210 - 220 bhp mark at Jamsport.

If your bottom end can take more (steel rods, forged pistons etc..) and your head has been worked (ported, polished, big valves etc..)then with the T34 you could see around the 250bhp mark!

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

4000rpm is late and almost useless considering the rev limiter is 6400rpm

But it's about right for a T34 on a 1600cc engine, a T3 will be spooling just after 2000rpm and on full boost by around 3000rpm!

nickrsturbo1990

so changin to t3 and getin it set up in jamsport i will see a fuk of a difernce in the car then?????

what psi should i set it at???

and what would the switch in the dash b changin boost and how ???

Pete frst

i think the best thing to do is find out exactly what engine mods you have,carnt belive you dont have a cam with that spec,still at least you have an uprated management thats a few quid saved,if your gonna strengthen the engine and get a big valve head,then turn the boost up,or spend your wedge on getting the power down on the road,atb diff,uprated steering arms,polybush it,at the end ot the day it depends on how much folding stuff you have........

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Yes for sure!

Set it as low as you can for the drive to JS!

Switch probably opens the Amal valve which bleeds air away from the actuator back into the airbox and increases boost, when closed boost will drop to whatever the actuator springs pre-load is set at.

nickrsturbo1990

ah ok what psi should i tell jam sport to set it at?????


so say if i set the psi to 14..... wen i flick the switch itl giv a lil extra boost and wen i flik it back it will go bac to the 14psi it set at????

im only askin so much as its my first time with an rs and would like everyfin done properly

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Jamsport will decide whats best based on your engine spec and how it perfoms on the day mate.

Basically..... yes!

Best way mate, it will cost you BIG money if you get things wrong

nickrsturbo1990

ok cool ah im so glad theres some people that no nearly everyfing about these cars

i fink ill ditch the "lag monster" get myself a stage 2 t3 turbo and go pay jamsport a visit......

do u really fink i could hit the 200+bhp wen i get it set up that day in jamsport?

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

I've spent the last 2 years and a lot of money learning everything I can.......... it's a steep curve

Yes mate it should do 200bhp with ease! So long as it's a healthy engine

nickrsturbo1990

cool

nickrsturbo1990

ive just been out for a spin in my m8s rs turbo which is member ian_evs2003 hes got an rs runnnin 170 bhp using a t3 turbo
and that wud leave my rs standin the lag diference is unbeleivable and mine is so underpowered compared to it new turbo defo

If it was me i'd pay for a rr session and see what you have got before you go changing stuff about, its clearley not set up properly. The car may of been set up fine five months ago and may well of had bits changed before the sale of the car to you.

nickrsturbo1990

i get a lot of backfires frm the car and it pops a lot and the turbo flutters....... also quite lumpy on idle but bin told thats because of the gotech

coswurv

iTrader: (8)

I dont agree with that it needs looking at mate, get it seen to, be the best £100 odd pound you spent.

nickrsturbo1990

bin told the t34 turbo is a waste of time tho because im nt running enuff bhp to b spooling it and it has 2 much lag for a 1600

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Coswurv is right it does need a setup, but the T34 is still way too big and laggy for any 1600 cc CVH as we have already discussed.

nickrsturbo1990

ok people hers what im guna do im guna save up some spare cash.... get myself a garrett t3 stage 2 hybrid turbo and give jamsport a visit and get them to set up my car with the stge 2 t3 fitted......

that a good idea people and hopefully irt will be ruinnnin a bit mor dan 182bhp and with the plus side of no lag

thanks lads
