TE34 ??

[Chuck Leeper]

The new toy has a TE34 on it. Other than an atr exh and a cold air intake, it's otherwise stock. The injs are also stockers.
NE using such? If so what injs are you using.
60# Siemens overkill? [Future growth in mind]

Back in the 90s we went 7.30s in the 1/8 on a bone stock engine with a few bolt ons. Not a bad turbo at all, quick spool etc. Comparable to a TA49 power wise.

The old school ford blue-tops were always my favorite injectors for lower level stockish type builds, idled good, drove good and just seemed to do everything right. Good for mid/hi 11's.

I vote for the siemens 60's, I have them in 2 cars the idle characteristics are flawless (matching chip of course)and their good for mid 10s or better, went from 42# green stripes that didn't have a great idle in comparison . id use 60s from 12s to 10s

Yes lucas 42.5

Yeah I was not impressed with them on any of the cars I ever put them on, i will keep the 60's in mind for future use.

No their not overkill on a stock type build with a modern chip

on a gn a few years ago put a single nozzle from alkycontrol on a stock motor and a 49 with the stock injectors,it was a nice 11 sec driver

Well, just pulled the dp for installation of a wb bung...The w/g shaft is locked up so tite, I had to use a crescent wrench to move it. Of course it was locked shut...PO claimed he was running 18# boost. W/o gauges, I wonder how he knew this?? This is a sure sign I'd best do a leak down and comp test.
The TE34 appears to be tite and fairly clean. I was going to step up, but I'm going to see how it does, once all the other bullshit is corrected.
Some folks should ride a mule instead of having a car...

And those that did ride mules would try and figure out how to put a turbo on it anyway Chuck. I'm dealing with one of them right now and he can't understand why he keeps bending vales.

Well, it turns out, the so called TE34 is a piece of antiquated junk.
Once I got the plenum off, and saw it was dry, I knew I was in trouble w/ the "turdbo". The oil puddled in the up pipe, and i/c.
Now on the hunt for a TA49.. Plenty of airflow for this turd. It doesn't appear that there's a lot of diff in the 34 vs the 49. I guess if this had actually been a real 34, it would have been worth rebuilding.
