thinking the saff needs some extra poke, what would a GT30 be like on a standard YB?

would it help fiitting a pair of BD10's and verniers, head gasket is WRC and is studded.

Big Will_

Head would benefit from being ported to reduce surge. It could be done without but might end up losing the mid range bang as the boost will have to be capped at low revs.

Air injector would be needed for boost control.

For the love of god don't put BD10s in, i've never yet found them to improve a car

A GT3071 work well on one.

I think the inlet on cossierich's is a 4x4 with spacer plate

can you get that turbo with the standard internal wastegate and how much do they cost roughly new? ive also a standard engine and would love the improvements of the gt range from what ive read. would it be ok with the .48 housing?

rayland can get u the turbo inturnaly gated its around 1200 i think. I have my saff on a standerd engine with bd10 cams groupe a gasket and an exturnal gated gt30 gizzmo boost controler and its got plenty of get up and go would deffo recomend it to eneyone

i would just wack a t34.63 on it

wozzy

but why when its not really that hard and have 450ish ponies with 420ish pound foot with the same drivability as a t34. seems a no brainer to me!

been out in cossie richs many a time, the things a weapon and would eat most if not all t34 powered saffs for breakfast!!

Do it Andy!

I thought the 3071r had alot more lag then a t34 .63? Are there any graphs to compare?

but will a standard yb last long at 450bhp

cossieDavedree

The only weak point on a standard cossie is the bore wear and the oil lubrication system, everything else is strong enough to cope, but it depends on how much boost you're going to run and how hard you drive it.

Munch

Isn't CossieRich's Saph engine pretty standard with a GT30??? might be wrong tho

MarK4

yeah its a gt3071r which is smaller then the 3076r(GT30r) which is more commonly used and referred to as gt30

ozmk1cos

Im interested in peoples opinions on this as Im putting a GTk-450 on a stock yb with autronic managment. Curious to see the result.

hmm, i may do it, the car has a 34.63 on it now,

will only reason i said bd10's was it saves me lifting head of to pocket pistons

Is Rich still on the 205 Block then too?? can,t remember tbh..

Mind you, my old Saff ran 456bhp on the 205 block without any problems and 400+ for a good few years before that.

Give it a try Andy i would.....

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

Andy, pretty sure you can run a bd 12 and 14 without the pocked pistons.

AJC

iTrader: (6)

i think i will,i'll keep my eye out for a cheap 2nd hand one

i thought it was only 10's dave

My engine has stock internals, has been fully rebuilt and i've just wacked a GT30 71 on there, well worth it imo it goes like the clappers

my engine block has had the oil ways modded to combat the lubrication issues bd14 inlet cam in there too

hmm, this is getting more and more tempting,

im pretty sure i'll do it, probably wait until spring tho now i think

JonnyBravo

Personally I'd do it just simply from CossieRich's results alone.

If you were buying new I don't know why anyone would bother with a T34 anymore, great turbo's but totally dated by the roller bearing series turbos.

The ONLY reason I wouldn't use one is on a 205 block but then many have run a T4 on one so no reason why you shouldn't, like anything headwork and other mods really bring the turbo to life as they would a T34 although your talking a lot more power for realistically not a lot more money.
