Let me put it this way....
I had a T34 on my 2.0l 21 turbo. That didnt spool up until about 4k. Go figure...
didnt dynatech have a t34 on their demo car. it needed NOS to get it to spin up.
and i dont think it got boost until 5k revs either......
Message to noobs.
These cars are 25+ years old now. The C1J engine has been around even longer.
All through this time, some very, very clever people have owned and fettled with these cars, spending lots of money and time to find out what works best for the strip/track and road. Some of these guys are on this site to this day.
In short, if it hasn't been done before, there is a reason why it hasn't been done before. You have not found the holy grail, you have instead found Marts holy fail.
Think on.
Alternatively, I have a turbo from a Scania truck I could sell you. Just £500 of your English pounds, guaranteed to fit and spool, 400bhp+ available etc etc etc

I has a T34 on my old cossy, it worked well but did suffer with a little lag compared to the standard T3. So on a 1.4 I think I would give it a miss. Hope this helps.

thanx guys for the advice i give that a miss maybe just stick with a t28 lol
Ian Nixon used to sell them for the 5, i think James wilday and his x had one fitted. No boost until over 5000rpm......whats the point in that
did the rounds that turbo, james had it, matt, then charlotte. I drove it - and I'm used to lag - it just didn't have a max-boost rpm, it would just keep creating boost as revs rose.
bt, not a real T34, it used an odd looking T25 turbine, unknown core with (what looked like) a to4e compressor. Had an external gate too
if your lucly mark you might start to get some spool about the 1/8 mile mark
it'll be much happier on the bigger engine I'm sure.
All about the testing mate It'll be interesting to see what its like when the car is running now. I drove Matts old 5 with it one so know what it felt like and with the new rear housing hope it should be less restrictive o the Volvo lump.
If its needs modding again sure Adam L can play with it again
To be honest mate i'm not entierly sure of the size of the turbine now, i had the work done on the rear of the turbo as i always hated the spec of it orginally.
It'll be attached to my 5 when i bring it to Nat Day so your more than welcome to come and have alook at it, it may eve need abit more work on it.
