If it's the newmans on ebay thats a mate of mines, you dont want double valve springs, standard Ford ones are fine.

im sure a .55 will get around 315/320bhp and anything over a .63 is needed but dont quote me lol and the .63 will be lag central lol as d4rst's car wasnt making decent boost till about 5k lol

im sure jano said get a .55 rear housing and its the best of both worlds.

cheers john is that power out put for a .48 or a .55 as i know the turbo i brought was ollies t34 when his car was a nms stage 6 at around 300bhp... then they upgrade to a .63 with a special cam

man i cant wait to get this finished im aiming for central day but want to have it done before for a proper shake down to make sure all is good. but i want some manifolds and a boost controller to finish it off and my turbo was on another can recently and at 2bar peak and droping to 25psi (no boost controller) on greens which were totaly maxed it made 289bhp on a dd rolling road. and if i get that i will be over the moon.

i got a t34 with .63 on a 1.6 cvh, it starts boosting at 3.5k and peeks at about 4-4.5k but when it does, its well worth the lag lol

Trouble is RST tacho's tend to underead by at least 500rpm that high so it's probably more like 4.5-5k then stock limiter is at 6400 so quite a narrow band of power.
Unless of course your limter is higher and you have a decent tacho lol

Whats your full spec and what sort of power are you making mate? Thats a big arse turbo!!

have several projects on the go at once, put cossie management and the t34 to start, then bought a set of greens (still not fitted, its only been a year lol) fitted anti-lag (which dont get used) got the grs intercooler fitted a couple of months back, in the mean time i ended up with an 1980 xr3 which needed restoration another s1 turbo which needs restoration (which will be concourse) fitted cossie management, t34 with .63 housing running 14psi, greens, kent cam, ported and polished head to my combi van which makes 220bhp, if i change rods and pistons the tuners said should make 300bhp, but then i'll need an uprated gearbox for the van another for the s1 then ended up buying a 3dr cossie which is aboput 370ish bhp so sadly the s1 sadly hasn't been touched i would like a 2.1 zvh for the s1 but its all about time and money, i find i use the cossie for that speed fix, but i do like the s1 and van nearly forgot the limiter is still standard, its on the long list of things to do as well as the waffle head lol

you'd be better off with a stage 2 t3 for that power will be much better to drive too, till you get your rods and pistons your just driving a lag monster for no reason but who am i to know, crazycage will be more in the know as he's the man on the cutting edge
