guys,

Since having my 4x4 saff back from karl he has told me the turbo is on the way out and i need a new one. The current turbo is a hybrid T3 and i want to buy a T34. Would A T34 with a 0.63 exhaust housing fit my car at the moment?

can anyone help???

yes, but it would need a remap

TIFF

Will go straight on mate, but would need setting up to suit it

Yeh second that, chip is spot on, Karl did my 3 door 3weeks ago, the car is awesome now, i would recomend him to any one... go for the t34 and get Karl to map it...

third that you mean

Hello mate.....Are you the guy with the white 3DR??

If so i am the one who popped in while you was there

Martinshuter

whats the difference going to be between the 0.55 exhaust housing and the 0.63 housing? is there a performance difference or am i going to have any probs at all.

thanks again fellas

i shall be 'popping in' to NMS next week weather permitting for some trickery

very little performance difference at all really

Shings

just how quickly it spins up and how long it holds on to the power

bud-weis

oh and to answer your question yes it will go straight on, you will probably need a new air filter to turbo pipe due to the bigger inlet, and also if it's not brand new and off a 2wd car you need to rotate the housing to suit your manifold

TIFF

a .55 will be a little more "Punchy" than the .63

But saying that my .63 specc'd car was MEGA

bud-weis

good good

Martinshuter

cheers chaps,

bit of a stupid question but is the T34 with a 0.63 housing better than the T34 with the 0.55 housing?

thanks again guys

Martinshuter

eagle,

thats the one i want to buy

TIFF

TOTALLY depends what you want out of the car

.55 will be punchy

.63 will be strong at high speed

Both are good though

Anonymous

My experience has been

.48 = punchy

.63 = strong top end

.55 = wooly middle ground




There IS a difference, but its not really a massive difference, i bet your average (not mega familiar with cossies) enthusiast could drive a car with a .55 one day and a .63 the next and not really notice the difference.

TIFF

@ Chip

Agree with what you said though about some people may not even notice.

Martinshuter

tiff,

carl set my car up with the T3, so does this mean a complete new live map or just a remap??

thanks again

TIFF

It will need mapping again to suit the T34...............

Shings

just a quick check and slight change of a few bits and bobs.. you could prob get him to fit it too obv at a cost

TIFF

Like the Map

Its a new map, but with the intimate knowlege Karl now has of your engine and what he will have gleened about its VE form how it responded to boost from the T3 etc (whihc will give him a feel for what cams and head mods it has) and with his experience with different turbos etc, i bet he can get it pretty close without even seeing the car!

So its not going to be as bad as starting from scratch, but its still going to mean changes to a large number of load sites, in fact almost all of them!

Shings

I am trying to be none technical TIffany

Well you are VERY good at it

TIFF

Being non-technical doesnt suit you

The poor guy would of thought it was nothing much to do

Shings

I know...

Anonymous

What experience is that then...a ride in a car with those housings or guesswork?

I have had a .48...cracking lo lag conversion but runs out of puff too quick for me

..my current .63 is quite laggy in comparison but revs well

I think and i have NOT tried a .55 but that would be the BEST turbo to go for...i think Rainbird had one and was well happy

TIFF

Phil

As said above....depends what the guy wants from his car

Have a word with Karl and he will put you right on what you are after pal

Si B on here has a .55, its basically exaclty what you would expect, ie somewhere between the other two.

Depends on what you are using the car for wether its "the BEST turbo to go for" IMHO

TIFF

Chip and i are like 1
