ideally i would liketo find a second hand one as new they are a bit pricey...

probably ultimatley want to aim for maybe 400bhp???

plan is to soon:-

take engine out and give it a freshen up rebuild

wrc headgasket etc

new rings and shells if needed

oil pump, water pump cam belt etc

car already has a 3 inch exhaust

500 intercooler

oil breather that needs to be fitted still

and obviously from what you people suggest i will be hunting down injectors a map sensor and the necessary chip

is there anything else you can sugest i do whillst its out to make it handle that bit of extra power?

cheers

 

if your car's not 4x4 fit the 4x4 inlet manifold and if it is 4x4 fit a 2wd exhaust manifold

and a t38 turbo would fill your needs there

 

yes its 2 wd...i have a 4x4 manifold available to...ehat are the specs of a t38...i have been looking for ages i can never seem to find one forsale!

 

basicly a t34 with bigger gut's if you can find a fooked t34 and send it to cr turbo's they will make it a t38 for approx £550 but thats a basic 38 if you want roller bearings it will cost approx another £300

 

is a t34 no good for me? whats the crack with the 5 bolt fixings and stuff to? is it just the cosworth uses its own turbine casting all together as i will just have to get a cosworth specific turbo wont i?

 

GT3071 run @ 2bar, will piss 400 ANDDDDDDD be safe as a T34 will be having it's guts kicked in to achieve and keep 400bhp..

 

t34.63

 

What he said coupled with 'VIPEC' or Autronic management, 750 injectors will piss 400+ ponies

Peskey puter double post

GTX3071 - i wouldn't even bother with anything else with the cost of them

 

Why the hell do you need aftermarket management ?

Steve

 

I guess it depends on mapper too Steve, i think Luciano uses Mark iirc and mark doesn't map weber..

Level 8 is fine though as we know..

 

At what point did I say "you need aftermarket management"? my exact statement was "coupled with" meaning its a good pairing nothing else, now bugger off and pester somebody elses thread Crouchie


Amen to that Pete nothing wrong with L6 L8 P8


Luciano

 

err............fuel pump

 

turbo tecniks t38 is a better unit than cr turbo's jobbie

proper built turbo not a buggered with t34

i would say tt t38 or a gt series of some sort

you will be screaming a t34.63 at 400 poneys

but head work and cams will make a massive difference

have you looked at the cossy ritch engine spec
works very well indeed

 

I had a Harvey converted T38 that produced 441bhp 450Ib/ft with a standard inlet cam and standard C/R at 2.4bar - so the right inlet and 83Ib injectors would have shown interesting results.

 

In your opinion would this spec be a quick road car and capable of the odd track day, and is there any disadvantages in having this spec of turbo?

Just interested as im currently on stage 1 and want more power.

 

if your on stage 1 and want more power

to save money pop along to nms and have the gunship set up

most agressive

and you wont need to change your spec

will make stage 3 cars look silly lol

 

i think a t38 is a very good and very under rated unit

with the right spec with it can make great figures and be fantastic on road

 

i dont want to spend stupid money to be fair...then again if i spend it once and only once it will last i suppose!!!

with the new gt turbos arent they all v band though?

i have a new exhaust and dont want to start cutting it up already!!!

i want to just have a fairly decent reliable useable car...as i say i am going to give it a freshen up rebuild and maybe give the head a light porting and use either a wrc or group a head gasket...i forgot which is the better one!!

and probably use greens la la la l8 ecu as i have one on offer 2wd exhaust 4wd inlet as there is one of them going to then get either a motorsport developments chip or if anyone else knows of anywhere that can remap the l8 or the l6 thats fitted to the car as standard around the midlands then i will use them!!!

in the long run though on the l8 i like the idea of anti lag and launch control as it sounds good when u tell your mates ha ha

 

If that's what you would like just stick to a stage 3 set up mate I had a t34.48 with greens Ahmed chip and baby board and the car was quick and reliable

v band clamp will have to adapted to your down pipe for a gt mate so will have to be cut, you can't odds it

D. Kenny,

You sound abit unsure what to do pal which is understandable as it's not cheap modding cossies, well any car.

Just reading your last paragraph about L6/L8 greens etc, if i were you i'd get yourself a NMS or MSD live map on a T34.63 55lb Siemens Injectors and just enjoy the car bud, take it from somebody that's spent thousands on Cossies alone..

This will give you a RELIABLE 380+ BHP with similar torque and make a superb road car.

 

lol looking at gt turbos now...i think modding it to v band and external wastegate maybe the better option...there seems to be more gt turbos about as opposed to the old t34's etc and tbf they are similar money!

 

whats the difference between a gt30 and a gt35?...tbf i can make pretty much anything fit lol...whether it will work well or not i dont know ha ha!

 

So i typed all the above for nothing..

If you're going GT30 again then ditch the Greens etc, i'd go 83s tbh.

GT35 is for 550-600+cars, a 30 will do you just fine, not the 3076 either, the 3071 pal..

You need to spec your engine correctly tbh before thinking og GT30-35s etc..

 

ok lol...honestly now this is what i have and or i am planning for it with the rebuild

already fitted:-

rs500 intercooler
3 inch exhaust turbo back
k and n
and tbf thats about it lol

planned for the rebuild:-
complete new gasket set
new oil pump
probably standard bolts as its a 205 block and is it really worth long studding it?
new rings and shells and big end if needed
head will be cleaned and measured and new valve guides and stem seals fitted
4x4 inlet manifold
general inspection of overall condition which to be honest i dont expect to be that bad at all as even fromn stone cold when it was -5 or colder it started up a treat with no tapping at all...just maybe a hint of a rattle for a few minutes about 30 seconds after it first fires up

now from you people i need to know:-

what injectors
turbo
ecu (either the l8 i can have or l6 thats fitted)
should i fit a boost controller? i.e. gizzmo?
which plugs to fit
and anything else you recommend for me to do

i think i just want it fast to take to the strip have the odd sunday joy ride and maybe take it easy on a few track days so it does not blow up!!!

cheers lol

 

You'll need a GT3071 imo if you after 400 or just over, as said above, T34.63 will make that number (maybe) but won't last long and that's a fact.

I'd go for 83lb Injectors, although 55d will flow plenty enough for 400bhp, but if you want more future power then the 83s woyld be fitted

Level 6 ecu will be fine, but again, i opted for Level 8 on mine

Group A HG would be fine also but if you're having an engine out job the WRC style maybe??

Cam choice, go ABO7 as i've heard great things about it mate..

Als imo Live map will be better if costs allow

 

seems like you dont really know alot t
when it comes to this

your in the middlands so best thing you cn do for your self is give nms a bell and say what you wnt from your car

carl will help you out with all your needs

 

might sound stupid...but has anyone actually tried one of the cheap turbos that are floating about on ebay before they have spent a grand upwards on a propa garret item of the gt variant turbos?

 

Buy once, buy correctly, cheap Turbos aren't really the way to go imo..

Ok, i may be wrong, but i'd rather spend that little extra on a known unit...

 

yeh a few mates have used turbo chargers from xs power and they last 5 mins
proper shit stuff

dont wast your money

 

lol that clears that up then...think i will keep my eye out for a decent second hand one then...think it will be a t34 as these seem to be the only ones that pop up now and then...try it and then if it needs it i will rebuild it as its a bit of a cheaper option than buying a brand new one!

 

I've got a T34/63 for sale mate!
