i got no valve cut out in my pistons to take bd14 that was a mistake on my part not having them michined in when the engine was in bits

 

i have to confess she was laggy but in the right hands it was a proper weapon

Firstly WHY is 400 bhp so neccesary to you?? are you number chasing??

I,d go for a T34.48/55 i had a T34.48 on my old 3dr, Greys live map and tbh it was imo the PERFECT lag free, punchy setup going, live mapped peaking @ 32psi holding 28psi believe me, they,ll not be TOO much on the road that should bother you.....

Don,t get caught up in number chasing...................

 

some of use like number chassing lol

 

More fools you then, look at YUM and Dave..........ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ...

 

you wont get a .48 to hold 28 to the limiter unless your engine is poor imo

 

to be honest i think it is number chasing why change the car from standard in the first place ? it made good power out the box , but then we all get caught up with wanting that little bit more .
but like i said i'm not looking for 400+ i'm just looking for around 400.
dont get me wrong the car is nice now when it comes on boost and a lot of fun

 

it doesnt have to cost the earth though, 450 bhp in a cossie is as far as you can go imo without burning money.
ive always said im gonna have 600 bhp ive just had to get another car to get it lol

 

Fair point i guess, but i go on drivability and having being in many T34.63 cars i just liked the feel and delivery better of my T34.48 car...

My T38 Saff was horrid how it delivered power, now my GT30 Evo was completely different again...

I,d personally opt for a T34.48 everytime now on my cossie, just a great road conversion imo..

Other people will agree/dis-agree, that,s life...........Lol..

 

which would be quicker to 130mph guys a ,34.55 or a 3.63, a gt3071r or a t4 as to me thats the number to chase 30 to 130.


cheers james

 

small turbo cossies are awesome mate very punchy and easy to drive. i even ran greens and an xspower t04e .63 exhaust housing and that was preety good at 22 psi.
if you want mid way power range id deffo go t34.55 or the smaller gt30 option.

 

Better starting block for sure is a Skyline....

 

GT30 or T4 imo............once moving.......you only have to look @ Performance Ford mag figures for that....

 

i just checked my old vid my old t4 saph was roughly 13 seconds 30 - 130.

 

agreed, i think the T4 car would be hard to catch if it was well set up,

but not good for daily road use really lol

 

I guess aswell guys it,s all about traction issues too..

I mena you look @ some of the Evos running GT30s, there 30-130 times are mid 11s alot of them because of no wheel spin etc...

Planting your foot in a rwd cossie with 450-500 bhp with similar torque in 2nd/3rd is going to be FUN TO SAY THE LEAST...

 

not bad


cheers james

 

it seems there are many options lol there is pros and cons everywhere and mainly comes down to personal choice which im still bloody confused about just been on ggr's web site and how would you describe this turbo ? GGR 287 Stage 2 Unit - Larger compressor and turbine assemblies with 360° thrust bearing .
is that a t34.55 ?

 

this is a stage 2 turbo technics turbo
SierSrai 4x4 Cos. Stg 2 hybrid 1989-93 2.0L P N5D T35 / .55 G S114 TFK127 300-380 BHP T35 W

 

i thought 13 seconds was pretty good.

and she could then go on to over 175 mph.

 

Ok so you bolt this t34 .48 and some 55s on your fresh motor (and other bits). You are NEARLY at 400hp (at the flywheel).

So what does that translate to in performance numbers on a 2wd? 0-60 in 3.6 seconds? 170mph I assume.

 

i thimk you may be right pete , 30 to 60 forwards ,

60 to 100 sidewards

100 to 130 backwards

cheers james

 

turbo technics should do one for Ł800 ish i think. t34 .55 .

 

so did i mate ,watched your video many,s a time


cheers james

 

I take it the 287 means the BHP of the conversion?? excuse my ignorance but i,ve never used GG so i,m just guessing.

My 3dr is running a Turbo Technics stage 2 T3 with 360 Thrust bearing, very punchy turbo ,BUT will die and explode @ around 320-330bhp max, it,s running 27psi peak on the live map, again it,s right on it,s LIMIT at this but that,s how i wanted the car, yes suicidle i know, BUT IF and when it does die i,ll go for a T34.48...

 

from my experience a genuine 170 mph will be a long drawn out affair with a t34 160 mph and it will be on its knees.

 

You,ll need to be a VERY good launcher to achieve that 0-60 time fella..

 

no dont think it has any relervance to the bhp as the small turbo escort cos has the ggr code of ggr339

 

I used to drag my gsxr1000. I am quite good with the throttle and clutch. Anything under 4 I'd be happy with.

 

So would i fella........... again, it,s getting the grip etc isn,t it.....

 

With the right rubber and alignment it's a big help.

Crap road tires and some saggy old beam and you will not be doing much under 5. Zero'd back end, 6 degree beam, some semi slick road tires. Actually tire size (diameter) would be quite critical.

 

Really?

Fecking hell, Robs mk2 astra does it in the 9s

 

fuck me thats quick mate

will it do 180 mph though ?

 

my dads saff runs a t4 round town is not to good but once going is very quick . his 3dr runs a t35 and that just picks up and goes

 

On a ford speedo easily, I was quoting GPS figures
It did 170mph in less than a mile at RAF Woodbridge when we ran it there, and it did 150mph in half a mile, so I reckon 1.5 miles and it would nail 180 pretty easily as it was still pulling hard on the 170mph run

 

fair play mate. i assume the cars been on a crash diet ?

 

Jesus....

 

lol

 

Yes mate, very much so. Although the cage puts a bit back in of course

 

There are too many police or too many corners here. We don't have any airfields to go play at. No real chance at the big top speed runs unless I drive down to Bonneville.

Maybe I need MSD to sponsor me on a Bonneville speed run.
