Has anyone used Turbo Dynamics? I was thinking of getting my Garrett t34 with 64 housing rebuilt or upgraded to a newer garrett!

 

Ideally upgrade to Borg Warner efr and manifold instead

 

But that s a 3 grand outlay against 500 quid on a rebuild!

Very true, there is a big cost difference. You can sell the old stuff and recoup a bit.

 

Rebuild prices on a t34 start at Ł195 + vat

Turbo Dynamics are a big player in the turbo reconditioning and supply industry
You could also try Turbo Technics

 

Got my EFR from them. Very happy with their customer service.

 

Look up Turbo performance.. I have all my turbos done by them.

 

Me too Vince is a great guy and knows his turbos.

 

 

He said "or upgrade" so I answered. He did not mention a budget.

I would have thought any change to a new turbo would need a remap.

 

A change in turbo would of course.
Bit of a difference in rebuilding a turbo to 4k’s worth of upgrade! Lol

Are you sure your not a Marketing employee for Mark? Ha ha

It is a shame that the swap is so expensive as I did not like the yb on a t34, trouble is the Cossies are now so expensive to tune, even a decent rebuild with a bit of porting and some long studs gets expensive.

 

The really odd thing is that although I have 5 turboed cars I actually don’t like turbo power much.

 

Anything to tune properly is expensive and even more so the higher power you go.

Nowt wrong with a t34 on a well set up car.
I’d say 80-90% of people would disagree with you but if that’s your opinion that’s also fine.

Your answer to anyone’s turbo/tuning questions seems to be “put an efr, manifold and management on it and take it to mad”
I’m not saying that’s wrong at all but come on now, stop beating the drum.

And if you don’t even really like turbo cars why have 5 and spend so much time, effort and money on them, and we’ll as keep talking about it??
That makes no sense at all!

Cheers Paul

 

Nothing wrong at all with a well set up cossie on a T34 if your a real driver you'll use it better then most with bigger set ups .

 

Paul, You go against my posts about efr’s so you bang your drum and I bang mine.

My answer will be consistent as it is my belief until something better comes along. I am a big fan of the improvements that an efr and decent management makes, same with close ratio box and 6 degree beam or cradle

The cars that I wanted to do the jobs I wanted them to do just happened to be specified by the manufacturers as turbos.

This is a forum where we share ideas and opinions.

 

Real driver?

My t34 was mapped by Ahmed bajoo back in the day, I found it to be laggy and dropped off boost too easily, the efr on low boost was similar power just behaved much more like a modern turbo car.

 

My car went well on its t34 it was a simple conversation I had done not long after getting the car. It was estimated at about 350bhp plenty quick enough for the majority of things I met on the road with 4 wheels lol. I also really rated my gt3076 set up with about 500bhp pulled really well was a proper fast car certainly fast enough that the majority of my non car loving mates wouldn’t get back in it lol. Can’t wait to try a 9180 I’m keen on taking the new route many are not be we are all different
At no point at all was the t34 anywear near on par with the gt30 in the real would and certainly won’t be with the new set up but there totally different ends of what you can archive now

 

Seeing the way Cossie Dave’s escos went on 9180 I don’t think you will be disappointed, his made a useable 700bhp with not a lot of lag.

 

Here you go Paul, I have finally got around to having a forum signature after all these years.

 

I'll be looking for a turbo upgrade,as my next job ,once ive altered the plenum,alternator,water hoses,air filter/intake,side scoops,breather system

 

Ha, not much then. You are on 7064 aren’t you?

 

t34 48,,the manifolds my problem,,i would like a bw though

 

Yes, I imagine space is an issue, it was on my 205, they had to make a smaller one. MK has been threatening to cut my Engine bay and use the 730bhp turbo on it....he will not win that one.

 

I'd would mod the engine bay while he is doing the work you could always have that option if you did put the big turbo on the car.

 

I know what you mean but it will do 630bhp on 7160 using my current manifold and no mods, it will be close to 900kg by the time I am finished and 630bhp with the kind of torque the 2.2 will make is, quite frankly, very scary.

 

Those two setups are worlds apart.

If your 34 car drove that bad then it either was oddly specced or it wasn’t set up very well.

Cheers Paul

 

It had virtually the same amount of lag as any other 700hp turbo!!

In fact he downsized from it to gain response so I was told

(Yes I know he’s back on a 9180 now)

Cheers Paul

 

How were they worlds apart? Same engine just different turbo, manifold and map?

 

I have no problem with mark or him mapping a car of mine, it’s just the setups he’s prefers are not my choice so it’s pointless.

If staying 500 and under I’d consider it but above that imo there are different ways I personally prefer things hence no efr for me

Cheers Paul

 

Don’t worry, you won’t bother running it on high boost so will only be about 500 lol

Cheers Paul

 

If there was a better turbo for the job I think he would have used it.

 

Yawn.

I think you may be becoming a troll so I will not feed it anymore.

 

Likewise

Cheers Paul

 

Guy's c'mon it's called banter 😁

Toby you like the drive of a more modern car.

Paul you are like me and like the drive of a cosworth how it's always been brash and loads of booost....

If Toby had a old skool T4 8 greens set up in his lightweight pug it would have spat him out years ago. So the ideal solution was to have a linear boost car so it's easier to control.

If we was all the same life would be boring.

Paul

 

If Toby had a t4 and 8 injectors it would all be on his garage floor waiting to sell on eBay as it wouldn’t make anywhere near the power he is after lol

 

It would on low boost lol

Cheers Paul

 

All t4’s are on low boost as nobody can live long enough for them to spool up.

 

Id have personally took it back then ..
