mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

i do at least once a year!u only want me to drive it to get your car in my garage

garyrs

i would think that you would need more boost to see 380 on a .48 im not sure if anny one has had more than 400 on a .48 , would be interested to no thou as i am useing a t34 .48 ,greys ,bd12 ,ported intet, 30 psi peak

how come u chose greys on a .48?i would saymine on light blues 370 would be realistic?

garyrs

just the way i bought it mate , all i have read on here and guys i have spoke too have all said that high 300 s are hard to achive ,thats why i would think that you would need more than 26 psi, that being said i have just disroyed my gear box ,and an ap 4 plate clutch so must be running high 300 s i spoze

Harveys 400/420 builds ran light blues using a T34, obviously they ran a lot of boost though to make that power and that is dyn, not in car.

My mates has done 30k like it on the orignal turbo he supplied with the engine !

garyrs

was that t34 on a .48 houseing
gary

JonnyBravo

Well its marked as a .48 but I know Harvey did use the .55 housing on a lot of builds so it could be one of those.

Its definately not a .63 housing, boost spike of 2.2 bar and holds around 1.9 bar iirc

Seriously punchy engine

is this on std compression?

JonnyBravo

Not the engine I have mentioned.

Staffi

Jonny, i don't think you'd make that on a .48 housing, and if you did the turbo wouldn't last long..

garyrs

so can you have an exhaust houseing machined then ,as i was not aware off this , gary

tabetha

Max for a .48(T34) is around the 375/380 mark, blues will fuel to around 390.
26psi will get you nowhere near 380, nearer 350.
I am not aware that there was suffecient meat in the turbine housing for machining for larger trim wheel, compressor side is of course no problem from T3 to T34.
Of course if you run different ecu you can run up to around 750 on the light blues.

I believe it was Ford who actually started using them on the sly, -possibly on works cars iirc

Without a doubt though the .55 is modified .48 housing as I have seen that mentioned before on PF.

.55 Housing would be my choice if I was to use a T34 and you wanted to keep it punchy.

Blues will do more than 380 but thats obviously at high pressure so it makes more sense to go for greys if you looking for the max from a T34

I think a good T34.48 setup takes some beating for a road car, my 3dr was awesome on this spec with Greys, 33 psi holding 28.. only made 363bhp on the rollers but fook did it go..

boXXer

what do you reckon i would make then with dark greens and 32psi spike, holding 28? .48 housing?

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Well i think you'd see 350 allday long, people will argue about this kind of power with greens, but MIKE R made 370 odd on his Saff with greens..

boXXer

thats what i was hoping

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Boxxer, what ECU are you on??

boXXer

l6 mate karl norris stg3

saph4be

i run t34 with.63 housing standard engine on light blues peaks at 1.7 bar and holds about 1.6 i tjink and made 379 bhp and it goes very well pulls hard right upto limiter hth

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

No worries, i was going to say if you had L8 you could of got Stu to map you anti-lag for your flames you're after..

boXXer

how does it work though, doesnt it fook the turbo?

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Fully blown Anti-lag yes wouldn't be very good on turbo life. I have it on mine, but mines with Autronic ecu, it's not a fully blown Anti-lag like the WRC cars, it doesn't run as hot as they do and there's is on all through the rally, this is switchable, so can be used at you leasure, also have Launch control aswell, you should here that..

boXXer

im wanting some now...

I have a ported head with standard cams, light blues and a T34.55, and at 25psi peak at made 371.7bhp on a Dyno Dynamics Rolling Road.

so i will not be able to hit 370 mark with a .48 housing?at 26psi?? just finished fitting my uprated clutch ready for the blues ordering group A fuel pump this weekend

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

Make sure you uprate the fuel pump wiring as well when you fit the pump

Done mine the other week and gained just over 2 volts by rewiring it

Steve.

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

i think my wiring is ok but how did u re-wire it just cut back till u find good wire and solder etc so will i have to source a .55 housing??

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

Rewired direct from the battery with 40amp wire fused at the battery, also run the earth back to the battery as well. I used the old fuel pump wire as a trigger for a relay as well.

Steve.

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

hmm ok i will take the voltage when i get the wiring off the pump!so i am better off getting a .55 housing then?if so r they alot more laggy then .48's?or am i better sticking with the .48?

mechanic28

iTrader: (5)

ohh anyone got some good light blues for sale please pm me

JonnyBravo

The engine has done 30k mate, still on the orignal turbo

Kev Warns Mk2 Cossy was 405hp too on a T34, as it was running 11's I wouldn't dis-believe the hp either.

Both cars did take massive abuse and the 3 door still does !

cossie4i+

iTrader: (15)

My .55 ain't that bad at all, i did notice it holds onto the power better than the .48.

Are you changing your chip too m8 ?

Mike Rainbird

iTrader: (3)

WTF - are you on drugs?

750 out of light blues on a Cossie - er, I don't think so .

They flow less than 403s, so you're looking at 420bhp MAX, no matter what the ECU .

Anyway, personally I LOVE the ickle 0.48 T34, you never really need any more power than this will provide for a road car .

tabetha..does spout some shit..although that is an obvious mistake about 750


...i have to agree with GAYLORD..i have had all the turbo's on a road car upto GT35 external........by far the best car i have had for drivability is my old stage 3 with an FSE reg peaking 2bar holding 1.6bar on a collins chip with the t34 .48...7.9-1 comp DIY ...my lastest GGR car is very very good but the 7.5-1 comp ratio does hinder it initailly..although i can say its the most complete saff you will ever see

Rainbird i bet you wank over my saff pics...makes a change over my pics though!

But not with .48 housings, that's my point..
