due to a bundle of fun being dropped off at the unit last week, we now have a T4 universal turbo kit.
with swapping the right bits n bobs would this be suitable for use on a 16V twink? or is it all a bit too much?

thanks

that would be amazing, but it might take a while to spool, but you can stop lag cant you?

Be loads of lag but then it would be amazing!!!!

Just use some NOS to stop the lag

Not sure how you two guys think it would be amazing?

I'll be happy for you to tell me different, but having just looked at every compressor map I can find for a T4 I can confidently say that it would be a total pile of sh!t. Even if you could get it to spool up which is unlikely, you'd either suffer massive surge or at best run in a completly inefficient part of the map.

Bigget not always better.

If you had a saphire cossworth with 310bhp and needed more then yeh t4 the *woman of ill repute* anything smaller than 1.6 doesnt warent anything bigger than t3

[Prawn]

Twin cam K head, the 16v twin cam motorbike head from a BMW K100RS motorbike, seems to be refered to as a Twink engine these days....

my mistake - its a T3/T4 ToE4 turbo, which I guess is a good old fashined T3.

oops

but this is good eh? more useable?

[Wil_h]

Could still be no good, there are plenty of T3s around that are simply too big.

[jaffercake]

go for T2?

A T04E will still be to big for a twink, i ran a T34 on mine with a .25 exhaust housing but it was still really laggy and it suffered with too much back pressure at top end because of the small housing.

Your probably best off using an Escort RS turbo T3, the slightly bigger exhaust housing will give you a little more lag but will allow you to run higher boost at top end and allow the engine to rev higher.
