as title, just out of interest really, will a hybrid t2 make a lot of difference on a bog standard frst engine?

what benefits do you get?

I'm sure you've been told over & over again not to put a T2 on your fiesta as they are prone to problems......or am I wrong are there are 2 people called paceo on PF with a Fiesta Turbo with turbo issues that post at least 5 times a week with similar questions!!??

no its becuase i had that rebuild done by you know who and i have the results of the internals on that rebuild from tony. apart from that i have had no issues with a t2.

as for 5 times a week id like to know where you got that from!

Stick a T3 on the T2 is expensive and not up to delivering anything.

the t2 can deliver alot the main issues are with it's installation which is a ford design fault on the fest turd these can be redressed
there are no advatages to fitting a hybrid t2 on a standard car at standard boost.mod the oil return and mod the breather

T2 in the bin. Best place for it. T3 on. Much better!!

What housing did you have it on. I ran my FRST on a T3 with .36 and it went like stink. Little lag and delivered the goods. Knocked the crap out of the T2 I removed

I put the t3 on my fiesta, engine was totaly standard and it was pish with the t3, just made more sounds but didnt really go

Pepperoni in the air filter gives it a kick....

if you want to improve response and turn the boost up a little bit get a gt22/25 both better than t3 but cost a little more Ł700

i had a T2 hybrid type of thing a few years ago built up from a T25 (small turbo esc cossie), it used the exhaust housing from the escort cos and the core, with a Sunny GTiR comp housing and comp wheel (60trim)

was an awsome turbo regards to lag and response, but at 2bar boost just eat thrust bearings about every 20minutes !!

its beyond me why people still fuck about with T2's on fiesta, unless there bog standard show cars then why bother?
as for those who say there car is quicker on a T2 i sugest you get your car set up properly!

as matts says if the car is set up right there will be no trouble with an t3

Not being cheeky, but driving a poorly setup car could soon see you paying out more than Ł300 on an engine rebuild!

smerth54

yea i understand that but payin for insurance as im young and got no ncb's and pay rent 300 quid dont come easy

smerth54

any way that was my old car this ones set up nicely 4 now

Jim Galbally

mate, seriously, you have NO idea how important it is to have your car set up properly!

DO IT ASAP! if you don;t, youre an idiot. its that simple

KnoxyGtt

It cost fuck all to put a t3 on a fiesta anyway, only reason it got one is becuase the t2 was shagged and came across a t3 for 70 bangers, cant remeber what u needed again since it was 2 yeara ago but think it was the escort turbo braided oil feed line, the little oil return bung that goes into the block and 2 90degree bends for the turbo to the cooler, i just used some old hose that was the same'ish shape for the oil return and just used any crap hoses to join up for the water feed and return, all in all it cost like under 130 or something
