You'll need, 3 bar map sensor, chip&pectel board (Ahmed Bayjoo), Bosch 803 green injectors, -31 actuator, that's about it off the top of my head, cost wise your looking around a monkey (£500) engine will be reliable the problem is the transmission, 4x4's are notorious for chewing gearboxes when you start to up the power.

The story behind the T34 is that i was offered a brand new Ford T34 for a good price, and as I was gonna stage 3 it myself, i thought why not! Once fitted tho I then decided against risking wrecking such a mint original engine by upping the power too much, so I went with a nice and safe Ahmed Bayjoo Stage 1 chip instead.

PM me if u want any more info on the car, and im sure i got some photos of when i had it too.

You are most welcome

I believe they're known as dark greens but go with their number which is 803's, if you ask for bosch greens 803's you've got the right ones
