as above what wud be best? been told ya have to change oil more often if you use Siemens is this right?

Dan

Maybe I'm being thick but I don't think an oil change effects the Injectors?

As for which Injector, whats your spec and future plans mate, both could suit a T34 but neither might suit a T3!?

Post up some more info

Captain500rs

Running a T34 on dark greens at the mo peaking at 1.9 bar and holding 1.5 bar,was wondering weather to change injectors and wind boost up a bit or go full hog and change turbo aswell to a T35 or T38 aswell as injectors as i dont want to be ringing neck out the turbo would be happy wi about 380bhp tbh

Dan

What housing have you got on the T34?

For a nice 380bhp I'd go T34.63 with some Siemens 55lb Blacks

A T38 would be plenty for a solid 400bhp if you want it, I think a T35 is much the same as a T34 is it not?

it all depends on the map, use quailty software from stu, and you wont have any borewash issues at all,
mine runs 83lb siemens and is superb idles less than 1%co, and the 83s are double the size of greys.

JTECH James

sounds like whoever gave you that oil change info needs to change tuners btw

Twellsie

nothing wrong with greys on a T3

Dan

I didn't say there was, I said it might not suit his application as there was no info on the original post!

Stu @ M Developments

Agreed, what a fooking statement to make.

CossieRich

iTrader: (1)

nothing wrong with it at all but completey pointless when you have 311bhp

Dan

Glad I wasn't being a total div when I said that in my first post then!

Captain500, Who told you that about the oil/injectors etc?

Twellsie

iTrader: (1)

not pontless at all if you happen to have some laying around at the time

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

dan,any injector size can make a difference to oil.....surely you know how?

its no fault of the injectors btw

GUZZLER

I should imagine the oil comment is because of the over fuelling thoughts..... sounds like someone has been speaking to the wrong people, surprises me how many people think borewash is ok if you change the oil more often

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

he may have been right 15years ago, i remember when greys were not classed as road legal, cost they wouldnt even make it down to 3.5%

Captain500rs

Didnt think it was right about the oil to be honest was just asking, the turbo is on .48 housing. Wud a be able to get 380 out the T34 wivout ringing its neck or wud it be wise just to change turbo

Dan

All depends on who you talk to on that one mate!

IMO a T34.63 will do 380bhp with relative ease.

Is it correct that the siemens have a better/finer spray pattern than the bosch greys?

Captain500rs

Dont want the car to be laggy which a heard .63 housings will do,wud prefer to keep the .48 housing tbh

Jim Galbally

it will do it, but it wont be reliable thats the point people make!

if you consider a turbo a service item then go for it. personally i'd spend a few quid more and have some reliability

buy cheap, buy twice.

i made 370bhp on a .48, on stus 55lb siemens kit, veryvery good.

turbos dont like the 36psi needed to make that power though.

.63 would be the better option

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

a.63 would be reliable at 380

Dannyf1380

Just fitted a .63 housing to mine from a .48 and prefer the .63 much more. Not too laggy at all.
Although I must get it set up and the boost adjusted properly as currently its boosting 2.4 bar

I thought that too when i changed from .63 housing from a .48.

CossieRich

All this talk of the .63 housing making it very laggy is utter nonsense.

tabetha

In the october edition of FAST FORD, there was a good turbo feature, from CR Turbo's.
The guy at CR Turbo's used to run a 2wd sapph with a T34 and .48 turbine housing, for a solid reliable 380bhp, without undue wear, usual 360 bearing etc, think he knows about turbo's.

.......so true....it's the set up that counts......

Rick

greys can do in excess of 60lb's - they're an odd injector.

Captain500rs

So how much would a .63 housing cost?

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

about £300 new,£100iish secondhand if you can find one

iTrader: (5)

urm hello!!!what about a .55!not as laggy as will do 380bhp!


i hope lol!

I found siemens run alot better than greys and if you run a t38 then youve got plenty of fuel.

Jim Galbally

if that were the case people wouldnt blow them up all the time...



...and they do

JTECH James

iTrader: (13)

not on a .63 at 380 they dont....

.48 will last around 30k miles at 370 bhp, which is around 36psi, i did two in my time on that spec around 60k miles, i dont really even consider that unreliable tbh

a .63 will make 380bhp+ at 32psi, and will last for years.

all engine spec dependant obviously, turbos genearaly have a shorter life span the higher the boost level

I run greys and a T38 on my 4x4 saph and I got no complaints with how it runs!

Runs just as smooth as it did on dark greens!

Jay,

agreed lost count in how many threads of why is my turbo bolloxed and its only 6 months old
