It's not about power for me ... It's low lagg and booooost that I crave ...

And to add my turbo this year as done 1400 miles and had hard use and is in still mint condition !

jamie's

you'd be better with a milder inlet cam with that power
standard exhaust cam(bd8) is fine
my opinion, but a well tested 1 by many others than me

Let's not forget u will need a very healthy engine also to achieve that power level, 380 as apposed to 350 will find all the weakness. As every one says just enjoy what the cars happy at if it's the upper end all good .

i am already running full 4x4 sierra cosworth running gear stops well
as for the cam i would like to go to msd to get rolling road set up clos to 400bhp so i may then need the bd14 ?

i wouldnt bother with bd14 on a t34 set up

matthewpickup

which cam would you guys recomend? keeping it mind i dont want to go over 400 bhp as i read transmission starts to give in

Dare I say it, AB07 I think would work well

matthewpickup

i will be running valve cut outs so i can run what ever cam just want the best from it really , whats up with this cam? as i see people always suggest it the same way lol

Matthew, nothing up with it at all, it became a bit of a gag on here as cossie4i aka Steve used it on his 4i and made some great pub, I mean Dyno numbers and boy does he always remind us about it

In all seriousness it's a decent cam, quite mild but does a good job, kinda BD10ish

matthewpickup

ah i get it now lol i am new on here as you can see lol so was his spec clos to what i am planning ?

Staffi

Think his was head work, trick TT T38, Plenum, 83lb injectors, live map, Spec R cooler bla bla, was a quick car, I had a play with him in my old Evo Spec and he flew past me, ALOT of torque it made.

Just have it mapped with plenty of boost keep it serviced and maintained well .

matthewpickup

well i was think alot of boost with cut back blades? this help keep it alive a bit longer? at the same time it wont be driven hard all the time(and just at the weekends) just to sort out the odd boy racer thats all i want

matthewpickup

that would be running 450+ bhp? lol dont want that much bhp lol

That's all I use mine for...'it drives so lovely and smooth and then if you floor it ..it hits 36psi very quick on the .48!housing... Mines a lovely car to drive ... Live mapped @ MSD and last year did 1400 miles hard use with not a single problem .

Staffi

Yes but, use your noddle Matthew, running a T38 on less boost will make same power your T34 would on correct Spec, but you'd not be ringing it's neck like you would the 34

matthewpickup

i was planing to use the 380bhp msd off the shelf chip still looking for siemens 55s but may have to use greys but still at the building stage so not in a massive hurry my turbo has the .63 housing so a bit more lag .. just need to drop the gear quicker lol

matthewpickup

yea i understand that but i already have a t34 .63 , do you think the cut backs would help?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Yea just use the .63 will be good cut back blades will aid it .

Staffi

Oh sorry mate, hadn't realized you'd bought your turbo, me bad, it's my age

matthewpickup

matthewpickup

lol no worries what you say is the next turbo to buy when this one dies lol

dissmalrs

mine if running 55 and a t34.63 and made 402.5bhp

Beach

My old Saph made 379 bhp on a .55 with blues at 1.8 bar peak 1.4 bar at the limiter!! Was a cracking every day set up
