the t34 itself will take about 28psi at its limit. i dont know how the rest of your engine will handle that sort of boost though.probably result in a big bang

well a standard engine can take i think 10/12 psi i could be wrong
but im using a 3mm decomp plate so im guessing ill probably can do 14/16 psi :?




thanks hass

if you got the head bolts and proper engine management you could
be seeing upwards of 350whp,
but more importantly what are the wheel sizes on the turbo you have,
With great challenges comes great engineering.

cant fault them, the did a LSD for me in a fiesta track day car years ago, the car and box is still going strong. well worth the money, they build diffs for ford and that says it all really.

quality costs though

Well it depends there are so many different S14 versions thats its hard to estimate. But as you seen the last engine sold on here was 4k :eek:

There are TB's on ebay for £900, so they are going up on value!

You can get lucky and get one cheap but it will be worn/damaged.

Looking to get one?

never ever broken a medium case diff, and i've pushed them hard. its your rear beam and boot floor you got to worry about.

ATB will be better suited to a track, and not straight line abuse. anyway if i recall corectly quaife dont do guarantees on parts especially one offs etc

turbo'd S14's been done lots of time, i know of 2 UK cars. one belonge to a user on here called marty bee, estoril blue with 18" bbs rk's PBMW feature about 2 years ago

thy second is a LOTEC conversion, T4 turbo, porsche external wastegate
400bhp and is a monster. specialist imported by MPC for the owner.

supercharged s14 had been done as well, featured by TBMW 5 years ago, built bt TDI ( wankers ) and now being re built

i know of an other possible s14 turbo in the making, so you've missed that boat fella
