i need to get a new turbo, so far i have managed to figure out i need a T34 with .63 housing as i am wanting to run grey n go for about 380bhp

but that is all i know so far

are all T34's the same i can buy any i find for sale are are they different spec one or some better than others etc?

help me im clueless

Carlsworth

ello pliz...

in general T34 s are the same...

just depends if someone has added to the spec of the turbo

ie: cut back blades, 360 bearing kit, external wastegate, antin lag etc etc,....

the possiblilities to upgrade a turbo are available, but as said, generally they re pretty much the same



carl

lukeytheduke

for anti lag, what gets strengthened then or added?

Carlsworth

maram shaft £600 ish
360 bearing kit £130
plus he price of turbo

thats pretty much it,..then theres extra's like external wastegate different material ex housing, but normal .63 housing can cope no probs with extra heat...all depends what is wanted, but the above is the basic upgrade needed for anti lag

Cawood

cheers carl

so would a standard t34 do me?

what do you charge for them carl?

Carlsworth

brand new outright price, no exchange is £760 + £10 next day carriage
if you wanted a 360 bearing kit fitted, it would be £860 + £10 next day carriage

Cawood

thanks carl

my budget is only £400 quid tho

Cawood

what would it cost to change a housing on a turbo from .48 to a .63?

tabetha

Change it yourself the core is the same on a T34 as a T3, so just unbolt old bolt on new.
tabetha

Cawood

come again

what housing does my standard T3 have?

was thinking this, cos i have seen a few T34's for sale with .48 housing, but i want a .63

so i'd have to buy a .63 in would i not?

Cawood

ah sorry tabetha, i should worded that a bit better

i didn't mean what would it cost in labour, i meant how much do .63 housings cost?

SapphyMike

you still wont get it all any cheaper than £400, as you will need to buy the T34 in the first place..

Cawood

yeah i know i wont get it any cheaper

just means i can broaden my searches if its easy/cheap to change over cos then i can buy one with a .48 n change it over

but i dont really know what am talking about tho

take it its not really worth while to do that?

tabetha

A T34 and T3 core is the same ie the inner part between the TURBINE and COMPRESSOR HOUSING.
Std turbine housing on a T3 cossie is .48, you would just need a .63 then bolt straight on, these come off of amongst others a escy large turbo model.
To then get to T34 full spec you can have your COMPRESSOR HOUSING MACHINED out which also saves on the cost of buying new hoses, as escy T34 comp housing is bigger outer diametre where hose from air filter bolts.
If you look down the throat of a T34 off a escy cos you will see that it decreases a lot in diametre internally.

SapphyMike

totally depends what you want from the car.

I was happy with my T34.48.

The Sludge

Out of curiosity (Cawood sorry to hijack here) but for a stage 3 can i asume that a T35 will be okay to use in a Soph 4x4???

Carlsworth

yup....wont be under as much stress as say a stage 1 4x4 t3 or similar...

if you get me,..
i know what i mean..

The Sludge

off i trundle to shell out 300 sheets.....

Carlsworth

£300 for a T35...





used i assume...otherwise you can get me 10

The Sludge

Its coming off me mates 3dr as 32psi in the last 2 or 3 weeks aint doing it any good so he is having some super duper sexy thing from Norway and no its not blonde

so got chatting on saturday after me rolling road and a deal was done, complete with 2wd manifold of course.....

Carlsworth

fook me....


thats much cheapness....

The Sludge

He is a good mate tbh. The car , saph 4x4 was r/roaded at 294bhp after 2 years of sitting by last owner. Me being brave just stuck it straight on the rollers, but the engine has only done 52000 miles from new..

The operator said it was the turbo holding it back and to upgrade to a bigger one, and repplace the 4x4 manifold with a 2wd one.

tabetha

I have always been told the CORE, ie without wheels and housings is the same for T34 and T3, so you sre saying they are diffrent as I cannot see in the piccies ?
tabetha
I would have a nice KKK if I had my way, better than garrett anyway ?

Carlsworth

no tabby....


re read my reply, and look at the bit in great big bold black lettering....


cahwood asked how much for a .63 housing (exhaust housing)


and you said the cores were the same.....


2 different things....hence my reply....


anyway...

you are dead right about the cores being the same...
same from the smallest of the small...(standard rst) right up to T38...

if it start T3 etct etc....they all the same bearing housing


carl

iTrader: (1)

AFAIK you are correct mate, I think G.B. has just read the post wrong!!!

G.B......I think what tabetha meant was that because all the cores are the same the exhaust housings do just bolt on!!

Carlsworth

i have just re read, and double re read the replies from when cahwood asked..

and imo the reply was confusing...

hence, the next reply from cahwood....



but yes...
tabby cat is correct, and in a long winded way, i have reitterated that...



now kids,....dont work too hard, otherwise you will lose the power of being able to read....
like me....
