What PSI could I run it at and it'll still last . It's got to be good for at least 350 HP.

 

21psi, and that's pushing it,

probably 300ish max..... unless fuel pressure and other mods done.

pops was over 300m and seem to last ok

 

dont think you'll make that on a T3, not reliably anyway.

i reckon 300 is a good benchmark for a T3 without blowing it up

 

350 reliable bhp from a t3 you'd be better off thinking more along the lines of a t34

 

Damn it. I guess it's better than the T28 I run now though.

 

I get a solid 320bhp from my std T3, which peaks at 24 psi and holds 22 no probs. But I would think that would be about the limit

 

you have a small turbo escort????

you'll even be lucky to get 300 then, as the air flow meter will restrict things

 

I have Autronic SM2 that's going in with the turbo!!!

 

 

I'm just waiting for a few more parts that are in the mail. I don't think my engine will last to much longer but that just gives me a reason to build another one.

 

interesting topic

how can I get more boost out of my standard T3 turbo?
It has no other modifications (if we don't count in the K&N57i kit and stainless exhaust system, which gives me an extra 100bhp)

 

Greens, 3-bar, -31, stg2/3 chip, good for 320-330bhp

 

oh dear, there goes my February's hardearned money

 

It was my Crimbo and birthday cash that bought my stg2, trouble was clutch went too, so don't have enough money to insure it for a couple of months The difference is unbelieveable, worth every penny! Wheelspins in third in the wet

 

sounds good

but it does already wheelspins in third in the wet even without those extra BHP's

 

All I need then is -31
