Any one tell me which turbo`s they have and at what cost to replace,fancy getting one for some fun

Derek Burleigh

A couple of T2's

No idea what they cost to replace though.

Billabong

Not cheap to replace I'd say......

plynchy

Fookin 'ell Clive! Track toy?!

JohnnyB

they are very modded T2's 800 to 1000 to have them rebuilt.

All4it

some good info on this site from a guy that owns 1 as a track car!

JohnnyB

get a aftermarket managment eg MBE you will get major torque I mean major

righthooker

thats the general idea mate .
as to be honest aftre a new shell and paint job it would be mad to take on the cossie,
mind you if the turbo`s are that expensive i may just look at xr4i`s

JohnnyB

do you want some turbos I may be able to get some

mmanse

Did any one see that grey xr4x4 at ford fair last year doing 0to60 in very low four's?

still sounded like it had a v6 under the bonnet

JohnnyB

Squeak on interford does low 4's all day

330 bhp and 400 ibs of torque

righthooker

not at the mo,but will keep it in mind johnny

Jim Galbally

you wont be able to get the turbos from anywhere except turbotechnics... and expect a long wait for parts to be shipped form US.

Mine cost me just under 1k exchange as they were too fubared to be refurbed.

mmanse

i thought that xr4i in fast ford with 2.9 twin turbo was good with
270 bhp!

Any idea's what you can out of a single turbo on the old 2.8 lump's

Jim Galbally

mmanse, std kits pushy out 200, the good ones are 250.

ive seen 350+ from a 2.8 single turbo and more is possible with a big wallet

mark

that 4i tt in fastford whas the first run after a remap he got the 330 bhp

JohnnyB

thats the same car, the 270 was the first run, he payed for 2 more to do some mapping. He found that the timing was fooking retared so the final run made the above

JohnnyB

I was there

Red16

righthooker a bloke near me in south shields has an xr4x4 twin turbo, theyre deffo t2's (unsure of spec tho) he uses this board too drop him a pm his usernames ripper

JohnnyB

yep they are t2's but with modded intake tubine housing

righthooker

i had a white 4by years ago ,it was a quick car at the time,on C plate,Drove all the way to slovakia in it ,was bulett proof

righthooker

can a 4i be turbod

Jim Galbally

yes, theyre 2.8s so they'll accept a 2.8TT kit (TT meaning turbotechnics) which is single turbo T3

theyre a lot more common than 2.9 twinturbo kits infact...

MWF

4i, XR4x4, Capri, Granda there are turbo kits floating about for them all over the place. I had an XR4x4 2.8 turbo for a few years and I about to turbo convert my 4i.

The kits give big increases of power but you need to start digging deep if you want anything special and go beyond that. The most common thing to do is just whack a single turbo kit on a bog standard 2.8 which see's about 200bhp and a shedload of torque.

I have photos of the various single turbo parts here

As you'll see the single turbo uses a Garret T3.

A lot of people make the mistake of buying them and thinking they can get a lot more out of them like a cossie. But it gets expensive as the engines are real boat anchors.

I have a 2.9 XR4x4 TT and it's excellent fun. Vertually no lag, excellent traction too, and no one gives you a second look!

Bit silly for a temporary runabout really!
