GT32!!??!!

Thats a bit big!!

Yes, you will more than likely need a Custom Manifold. With my GT Series Turbo we had to alter everything (Exhaust Manifold, Inlet and also build a Custom Downpipe).

Hope this helps.

it is big but there quiet cheap at just under £500 so no point in messing about

would you be able to do the custom manifold for it ???? and what housing would you recomend ???

imo .69 if thats the smallest they do. Why not go down a step to something like a GT30 or even a GT2871R whuch is good for 400bhp@fly if you run it full whack I can't help thinking you might be better off all round with a T34 with .63, bolts onto standard manifold with no mods as well. Think you might need a custom down pipe and thats it.

Its all about the drivabillity, will be well laggy with the GT32..I was going the same sort of route but eventually after convo's on here realised it would be a nasty car to drive every day and that wasn't for me.

Sorry to hijack thread, but I was thinking of using a t34, but ppl told me that may be too laggy and instead i may be better off using a 'stage 3' t3?? any help? any help?

p.s is going on a 2.1 16v

cheers

that 1 is a tad to dear the gt32 was cheaper than that. but thanks anyway m8

as for the fiesta vs escort ill try and make it this year when is it ???

No way will be it be laggy on a 2.1! A T3 boosts from nothing on a 2.1 but it totally runs out of puff top end, much better off with a T34

mrviper

how would a sg 3 T3 cope with a 2.1 zetec turbo?

finding a roler baring turbo is doing my head in so im thinking of geting a stg 3 t3

rsrob

what about 1 of these ?




Garrett T3/T04E Hybrid Turbos

Perfect for high HP turbocharged four and six cylinder engines. 0.50 A/R compressor housing. Choose exhaust housings from 0.48 A/R and 0.63 A/R turbine housings. Choose from 40, 46, 50, 54, 57, 60 Trim Garrett compressor wheel

which is best to get 0.48AR or 0.63AR???

what is the trim? and which one would be best for a 2.1 ???

sorry for all the questions just want to get the best 1 for the job [/img]

The above one just is very similar to a T34.

IMO for a 2litre+ ZVH id go for either a .48/.55/.63 ex housinged EscCossie T34, all of the above on a engine that size will be not that laggy (they not on a cossie an your engine is bigger!).

Take your pick on the ex housing size, id prob go for the .63 T34 on a 2.1 myself.

If you want to get fancy then go for somthing from the GT series, but itl involve a lot more arsing around than just bolting a cossie T34 to it

rsrob

really wanted a roller bearing 1 but i cant seem to find 1 that is just right so i think ill just get the 1 above think it is only 700 dollars so its mucho cheapness

itsmeagain thanks for the help just 1 more thing whats the best trim to get ??

rsrob

any more thoughts on this ??
