just a guess but bigger turbo , and injecters also prob better with a live map to get the most of it

GARETH T

change the head gasket, as its not the best for a wire rung block

depends on the compression of your engine, grays and a remap, and you wouldnt be far off 400BHP

Thats quite e decent spek, i`d go for greys, and a live remap, might not make the magic 400 youre after, but it will make a massive difference mine did

Dunccoss

get the head ported ect and live mapped on greys or light blues and 400 should be yours

big_wig_074

then buy an uprated diff!

Why????

it will be fine if the wire ringing is done right

Injectors and a map and there is absolutly no reason why you cant have over 400bhp,

Only suggestion i'd make is to get a 360deg bearing in your turbo

Garerth why the compression comment?

As said, greys, and a live map should get you close. Mine ain't far off 400 and thats on standard comp!

can i have my l6 live mapped or what? how much for greys or light blues? will i need cams or not?

GARETH T

TiB

because he uses the Group A gasket and not the the standard gasket,, not the fact thats its wire rung,,, infact i like wireringing

Bosch-Man

compression is EVERYTHING
if its 7:9:1 i dont think he'll get 400 bhp on a t34

how much was your closed loop and what mpg do you get and what ecu do you have thanks danny

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Yes you can have it live mapped, greys i think Ł70ish each, cams ,its up to you, but not esential.........

GARETH T

yes you can live map a L6, wouldnt bother with light blues, go for grays, about 60 quid each (remember you need a fitting kit)

you wont really need cams with a standard spec head

At a guess because high compression is going to mean masses of ignition retard to use big boost, which is going to lessen the power potential slightly.
And 400bhp on a T34 is a tall order to start with!

TiB

Again... Why???

GARETH T

i think the gasket material too too hard

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

What is the deal with the T34, I THOUGHT IT STRUGGLED WITH 400

sounds good i have been fed a load of bull s#i# saying i need cams l8 4wd position sensor and loads of other bits. how much would live map cost and who would you reccomend? thanks danny

TiB

iTrader: (1)

Not a problem i encountered, never even heard that before???

GARETH T

ring MSD for a quote about 500-600 quid i think,,, but dont quote me on that

B11GNS

Mine was done at MSD's not sure exact price as i had a load of things done together but i think you are looking about Ł200 but then the car needs to live mapped too so it really depends on what you want done, you're best talking to stu but its very reasonably priced and the work is faultless

MPG depends on how you drive really but i get more to a tank now then i did with standard yellows!! And the emissions are at about 0.6 %!!!!!

I now have a L8 ecu as you need that to run the closed loop, HTH.

GARETH T

TBH i think its just not ideal, but as we all know sometimes not being ideal doesnt mean it dont work perfectly well (well as i proved)

what bhp is yours now and do i just need the ecu or other bits to match

big_wig_074

GARETH T

if going closed loop, you will need a L8 ecu, 4x4 tps, a lambda sesnor and a small bit of wiring,,,, MSD would fit the rest needed

if your buying a L8 ecu, it must have the ford standard baby board inside

Karl Norris....NMS mapped mine does a truely fantastic job, would recommend him

GARETH T

forgot about karl NMS,,, also worth contacting too

B11GNS

Not sure exact bhp as i took it to a rolling road a while back and there was a top end misfire so it could only be revved to 4900 so the power was down (it sorted now after i put new leads and dizzy cap and arm) but the torque was 391 lbs/ft so am just waiting until i can get it RR'd again.

You will need the ecu and a 4x4 tps, which stu supplied me as well as the lambda and software

I though head porting and cams or (cam) is a must for 400bhp?

GARETH T

the problem with most cam profiles is that you need valve cutout, which wasnt said in the spec

you can get very very close without them

Rhys

Fair enough I always go by what i got as i know it works more or less.

Prob not worth getting head ported then if cant go for cams etc?

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

But if he does the greys and a live map, he will be 370-380ish any how, nice 32psi peak, holding 28

any idear what to expect to pay for an l8 ecu?

GARETH T

depends on how lucky you are,, anything from 100-250 quid really

Give Pete a ring RS SPECIALISTS........you will find him in the RS cosworth parts.........

what l8 ecu do i need for the closed loop green or red stickered thanks danny
