Default WRC / Swedish plenum needed?? 400 bhp

as per title, need to finalise things before engine is built and dyno'd

is it worth using this inlet at this power level?

If so.. mike.. get one to you know where!

I've got the WRC 8 inj rail for my new engine

the inlet tracts on a WRC rail are a lot wider than a standard PORTED tracts inlet.

Personally, I would chop your standard turbo in for one of Harvey's hybrid T34s and then you can get 440ish bhp rather than just about 400bhp with the standard one.

Steve,
You really are a top wanker sometimes, and post before you have time to engage your brain . Harvey's T3/4 has similar flow characteristics to a T38, so fuck off .

T38 aint a t34 tho is it.......t38 holds more boost for longer up the rev range....

T38 is closer to a t04b (which harvey and ahmed had no idea what it was LOL )

Whats the spec of his Magical T34 then ?

Thing is, in the same way that Turbo Technics mixed and matched T34 and T4 parts to create the "in between" T38 ......Someone with an engine Dyno (Harvey) can work closely with a another Garret supplier to get similar results - if not better, as they would optimise the "new hybrid" for using on a YB engine.....IDEAL

Well, IIRC a properly speced T34 can produce 400 - 410 absolute max........well it did on my Paul Bailey built engine.....
That was chassis dyno power (Interpro)

Steve,
This is the magical T34 that Ima had on his engine and if you want the full spec, I suggest you phone Harvey . However, only the casing is a T3/4 (and is heavily machined), the core is totally different .

But given you're so knowledgable, you knew that already .

Dave,
If you want to go for the 440bhp turbo, then I'm sure Harvey could sort you out a deal. Take both your turbos on Sat and discuss with him....

I guy round here and a PF user has a harvey gibbs engine in his 3 door,

I'm not getting too involved in this argument as I'm not a guru, but I know that it made 400bhp using one of Harveys T34's at 2 bar on his dyno, so really Mike does have a point, in fact I believe you even know the fella Mike

right, back to my cup of T

Steve,
As ever, you talk shit before you know the facts. As it uses the T3/4 casing, as far as all tuners / turbo builders are concerned it IS a hybrid T3/4 . Now fuck off .

Mine made 400 on the dyno @ 25psi

Mike, i don't know anything about the blower, hence the question...

IT aint a T34 is it, plain and simple.

Remember JB fletch's Harbey Gibbs engined T34 car was dynoed at 418bhp, and made even more on the rollers at one point!

Awaiting Dingys reason why this doesn't count...

Phil, no answer, must have been a good blower

But for an engine to make more incar than on the dyno.

A. its impossible. (if this is not the case please explain)
B. Rollers incorrect. (see A.)

I know nothing about tuning.

i know how my car feels and it feels faster with 32psi then with 26psi and it makes less power than it did on the dyno with more boost.....more boost = more power usually
