Potential can of worms - Spec to choose? Best T38? Or stick with T34?

Chop, think fast and rs mat has a marham shaft mint for sale Ł250 
Ps, chip just because theyre 7.2:1 pistons they can often come out higher, dependant how much the block was skimmed and the pistons were skimmed.
As you know! So need to know what it was measured at by the builder chop!

Still going to be under 8 realistically though even if both have been skimmed to hell and back.

Ok it looks like that's what I'm having...
Haha unfortunately it'll be coming to oz but you can play with it all summer.
I have a quaife box and a decent diff, I cant rem if its RnD or gripper or whatever the fuck it is.
Phew I didn't need it!
Ah well it looks like I have a plan in place. J1mbo might have to give me a blowy as part of the bill.

You will get problems with the T5, diff etc if you go bigger than T34. Just my 2 cents. I dont see the T38 have any advantages over T34 drivability considered. if you swap please go for a GT3071r. Internal gate is bolt on.
The AB07 is a great inlet cam for std comp pistons with no mod. Combined with the GT30 its a perfect road spec.

Ok thanks 
Oh yeah I'm a Steve too
As it happens someone mentioned motec earlier. Any idea of good motec dealers?
Autronic is a good shout. I see from google that its an Australian company LOL.
Anyone any idea how much autronic or motec are fitted and mapped?

Well yeah that was the whole point of the build. Not to modify the head ports at great cost but to use a big turbo, uprated valve springs a proper cam and Vi-pec management. T38 would have been shit on mine due to surge. No need for fancy inlets, cooler, head porting etc etc. The results speak for themselves.
And Steve - Picked up 30bhp with the same boost using the MAD cam. If your block splits because of your 540bhp make sure you get a 200 block and valve cut outs done on your pistons and then see what difference a proper cam makes. I was BD14 before the MAD cam. you could make near on 600 bhp on your T38 equipped engine.
Chop - Stick with t34 but upgrade your cooler to cope with act's in Aus imo. Be surprised how much power you will lose becuase of ignition retard and the new top feed coolers from Spec R or airtec get rid of the need for water injection it seems. Saying that though seems you are in for a whole world of pain if caught speeding so maybe sell the cossie and get a robin reliant

I've been bezzy mates with The Bird since you were about 10 Jimbo!
(or less maybe?!)Who makes the T38? Have I confused them? I was thinking it was Universal Turbos but from searching PF it seems they are CR?
I offered your old man some cossie bits in px.
If you know anyone for a .25 crank and a 200 block etc let me know

It Wasnt Me!
Haven't read through this properly Chop but i'd go for a CR T34/63 Roller bearing Turbo and although Autronic is an excellent system, it's expensive and probably does a lot more than you'll ever need it for, Omex 710 is really good and not that pricey compared, could buy the system and a loom for 700ish iirc.

Davie I was considering what ecu's were about in Oz that can be mapped tere

Problem with the T34 is that they tend to get fed up of high revs and spit the dummy.
I'm thinking T38 as it's a direct replacement yet flows more air and shouldn't be as on the edge as a T34.
I'm not worried about the cost of injectors and the mapping will need paid for anyway so...
The GT30 was better than the 38?
Another thing I need is a pectel board for my L6. Ł250?!
Anyone know where to find one cheaper?

Yip out of all the turbos ive had i would go GT3071 if i was to do it again. In the past ive had T34.55 , T34.63 , T38 , Roller T4 and the GT30.
But after seeing the recent results that Cossiedavid and SCS have got out of roller T4's Im just a bit gutted I wasted money with AVA and never went down south for the mapping. As it does look to be a very good turbo with the correct spec and mapping.

I discussed it as mapping a T38 but tbh I could still change my mind.
I'm probably going to go down that route as I need to px my T34, its the samecasing so direct bolt on.
Just need the pectel board and air injectors and we're off.

Its true that its a lot less common for people to rebuild them as spares are less readily available and they are a little more involved to rebuild, but they actually CAN be rebuilt, its just often easier to simply replace the cartridge instead.

I have read through this thread and can see no reason why it has been moved into the muppet room!!
I do not know who moved it here but the majority of the rest of the mod team are also in agreement that it was fine in General Car Discussion so i will move it back.
apologies for that folks.
edited - Ive also cleaned up the thread a bit so as it can get back on topic.

Roads where i live are fine and on a nice evening when noone is about your little t34 will run out of puff and leave you wanting more for the next night.
Roads here are shit compared to Australia (melbourne)
