limped my car down to NMS on saturday as i've blown the turbo (gunship conversion)

now i planned greys, RS500 cooler & T35

i took the bits down with me just spoke to ollie n i cant afford to get it wire rung and new headgasket

so i can have my bits fitted but run about 330bhp

to keep the headgasket safe and also the clutch
(ollie n karl fitted new standard clutch about 4 months ago, the old one when AP made then)

what do i do? do i still get all my bits fitted or just get hold of another 2nd std T3 n stick with the gunship?

arrgghhh cos i feel like im just wasting Ł1500 fitting all the parts n getting 330bhp

what you think?

im running standard headgasket at 330bhp 330ftlb... and its on 105000 miles
and how much for the escort
surely a grp a or escort cossworth headgasket should be ample... but if nms say thats what you need then listen to your chosen tuner...

Cawood

no the S2 is not getting sold!

its already got a grp A headgasket fitted, but was fitted 30k ago

i want more than 330bhp

and is it gonna be worth it as gunship was nice n punchy

wont this just be proper laggy with at T35

what housing is the t35 though?

i run greens, grp a gasket, t35 .63 ex, 500 cooler etc and i dont think theres much lag than a t3 except teh t3 is more punchy

id be happy if my car gets 330bhp

you can always have the gasket done at a later date aswell

Cawood

its a T34 with a .63 housing

what will a std new clutch take?

i was hoping for closer to 370bhp

std clutch is going to shit itself

my alcon didnt like it much and lasted 8k but the car did get launched every day

best is to take your time with itand no launches etc as the std clutch will not last long

would last even shorter if you went the full potential and had the headgasket done to cope with the new power

standard clutch would shit itself not much use anything after stage 1

Get yourself a T34. 48 HOUSING, No lag greens, Alcon and get Karl to set it up for you, you'll have yourself a nice 340-350 car that wiil be a great road car..

Cawood

P.S how much for the turbo ?

Cawood

why do you need greens if you already have greys.

I have greys on mine and its only on a T3
