GT30 the new T34????
Following cossie richies thread is the GT30 the new T34 for the cossie??would it be worth fir example putting a GT30 on a completely standard engine 205 or 200?i know richies was very close to standard!why are these turbos becoming prefered to the T34????

i mean you can whack a GT35 on a standard 2WD cossie (i mean BOG standard, no changes no nothing) but if you wound it up to 400bhp something'd break

As long as you adressed the fuelling, i'm not sure it would break.

std 2WD cossie?
std intercooler, std headgasket, std breather, etc. etc. etc.
how long you really think that'd last with a GT35 and 2bar shoved thru it

much better flow rate and spool up quicker due to using a roller bearing core
as doug said(garage 19) cossy's have joined the 21st century now with better mapping, cam sensors, siemens injectors and gt series turbos, its just evolution, and not before time,
but best thing about the gt's is external wastegates with screamer pipes, you got to hear a cossy with this set up to understand what i'm talking about

You would need no where near 2 bar to make 400 bhp.
I still think it would be fine.
The HG MIGHT give up after some mileage but that is easily solved. The rest of the engine internals can stay stock.

What were the physical engine differences between the RS500s & a standard 3Dr/Saph other than the 8 injectors, ECU, T4 & larger intercooler then??

if you only wanting standard then stick with the t3, but as you've already got a t34 then standard isn't standard is it, just depends on how far you want to go realy,
btw did you get that noise fixed?
what was it? oil pump?
