James, what Cams were used in that mate??

Nice that for a T34.48..

JonnyBravo

Standard head and cams although from speaking to Harvey those builds usually had one of his inlet cams in it. I don't recall anything being written on it when I did the head gasket on it for the new owner though.

Changing the cwp made a massive difference though, more power would of been nice but with reliabilty like it had he just left it as it was.

I guess you reconize the car from "that" video

Staffi

That's even more impressive then with Standard head & Cams.

Who maps SCS cars?? Harvey i'm guessing??

Lol, yeah the flame throwing 3dr....

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

Yes he maps all his engines now

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Jimbo, Dyno map or Road?? or both..

JonnyBravo

It was mapped by Ahmed I believe back in the day, L8 with pectel board etc..

Its now on Siemens, closed loop and a msd chip which in fairness has made it 200% better on fuel and far less likely to fry itself now it has one of Ryans looms on it.

Great shots those James..

So going back to power on T34s, i've never believed they'd make a true 400bhp, but after seeing this graph on a .48 i'm guessing with the correct Spec on a .63 housing 400 is possible?? but for turbo length of life i'm guessing not long.....

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

Both really, depends on spec as he would use a good base to start with

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

Yes, they will do over 400bhp on a well specced engine,ported head, cam, etc speak to mike rain bird, his was doing something like 410s with a nice head, pair of Lairy rally cams that would kill his lifters, they became a serviceable item e cams were that harsh,

But then turbo life as you say isn't great over 400bhp as your having to hold a fair bit of boost in at the top

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Very interesting that Jimbo..

Mine's going to have some more work done on it next year, just haven't decided on what Turbo yet, or stick with the TT T35.63 i have as it's brand new, and get the 4x4 Inlet fitted and an Inlet cam too then fresh map....

iTrader: (6)

my exact spec, and its faultless

on my 2wd saff

JonnyBravo

It as dynoed at nearer 400 originally aparently, ran water injection etc but all that had been removed when my mate got the car.

I always believed it was on a .55 housing but turns out once we had the turbo off that it wasn't.

It did run a LOT of boost though but then as I said never once went wrong in all the time I've ever known the car, engine was immaculate inside when we had the head off as well.

Staffi

Good to hear that too mate, it does get my back up when people harp on about Cossies being unreliable etc etc, a well mapped/serviced/built Cossie will last for-ever if you look after it..

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

Sounds perfect, get your tuner to have the head and just have a couple hundred quid spend on the ports and it will be lovely

COCHYN

Christ this thread's still going

Anything around or over 380bhp on mine when done I'll be well happy, and probably shitting myself regardless due to the harsh ride.....anyone have some softer springs??

cossie daz

stage 3 bits

standard head,standard bottom end ,greens,3bar, t34.63 , rs500 cooler , spec-r breather ,

it went on TOTD rollers for a set up and was 335bhp / 363lbft @25psi

Spot on uncle kodak.

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Uncle Kodak.... coont Nephew..

Tis true though Kev....too many folks going on about how unreliable etc they are..

JonnyBravo

The only reason we ever had the head off was due to a small amount of water leaking from the front corner of the gasket, Dave who owned it was too afraid to take it to bits fearing the block would be damaged but as it turned out it was only the gasket and clearly it had never been to bits since Harvey originally built it.

As you say good engines if their looked after

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

James, was that on the 205 Block then too??

JonnyBravo

No, long studded 200 block, Dave did about 5 trackdays and the ring with it weeping slightly and it never got any worse so didn't really want to pull a perfect working engine apart.

He sold the car reasonably cheap so the new owner spent a few grand on it replacing some of the worn out bits.

Its a tidy car now and probably won't ever be seen on track again as the new owner is a bufty lol

I'm keeping my fingers crossed I get similar reliabilty from the new one lol

Staffi

How's yours going mate?? i want pics of the beast..

JonnyBravo

Should hopefully have it all sorted in a week mate, been some f**k ups with the post as you know which haven't helped !

saph-mad

hi was having a read and was wondering if any one could tell me how i could get 330bhp-350bhp out of my 2wd saff ive never had it on the rollers so dont know what its making it the min

fitted on the car is

t3 turbo
yellows
group a k&n
group a o44
group a coil and motorsport leads
rs 500 pace intercooler
3inch stainless exhaust
stage 1 chip
3 bar map sensor
and a new fuel pump loom

any help would be great

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Well your T3 will be on it's last legs @ around 320bhp

So for your desired 350 i'd opt for..

T34.48
Actuator
Greys/55lb Injectirs
Live map (imo)

Ans away you go with the rest of your Spec, it'll be a HOOT of a road car then, no lag like your T3 but pull harder..

saph-mad

cheeRS forgot to say -31 actuator and a set of turbosport cam pulleys and 4x4 inlet

see i live i northern ireland and i dont know of any cossie tuners over here ?

so thats why i ask as i was told if i was to go up to 330-350 in need a stage 3 chip and a few other bits
