Almost a cossie housing

Les, slight limp · 06-15-2006, 06:05 PM

What's the consensus on this, list price 120 pounds, ebay 45 pounds, mind you it is a dodgy second cause i'm going to have to make one of the studs fit.

Better than stock, and not bad as far as internal gates go... nice find!

Wot da fok, over.

Is it a Escort Cos T28 housing? That sure as hell is the standard Ford bolt pattern and sealing surface.
For that price you could get a whole second hand 2wd Cos unit and not have to fawk with anything AND have the big ass waste-gate port.
Remember you will need to waste a larger volume if you make it spool early, that's why the waste gate hole is also sop large.

Just be patient and ebay will have the whole cossie unit or just the turbine housing for not much more than that thing. The whole turbine housing design is much better and worth the effort of getting.

The actuator lever is also in fawked up place too, you'd have to make a custom bracket. Otherwise it looks workable.

The turbo i've got is 42/52 and is in perfect condition, it's got a ford centre cartridge with the screw in oil feed, there is a cossie 2 wheel drive turbo on ebay now, untested and not guaranteed so i'm looking minimum 45 pounds for a rebuild kit and the cost of having the manni machined flat + the turbo, all the cossie owners i've ever met have thrashed their cars, lets face it that was what cossies were for, damn fast cars, i'll stick with what i've got thanks, i know it's not as efficient as a cossie turbo but it's better than what i've got, it's the better pressure drop after the wheel i'm after and the larger exhaust outlet will help towards that, boost creep shouldn't be a problem at 10psi so i wouldn't benefit from a larger wastegate hole and flapper, the better flow arrangement for the wastegate should improve things anyway.

Yeah, yeah, but wot da fawk is it??

I think its listed for a t35 whatever one of those are, have a look john see what you think.

benflynn · 06-16-2006, 12:04 PM

just a new outlet for the gt turbos, you can still get the new turbos with the 5 bolt wastegate housing flange

I think it's an excellent alternative to the cossie. For £45 you've got far superior flow characteristics. The only really bad thing about the T3 in my opinion is the wastegate housing. Just massively port your wastgate now and you three quarters of the way to cossie T3 territory (in my humble opinion).

dl242gt · 06-16-2006, 12:20 PM

I understand your reasoning and if you are only going to run 10psi even the stock stuff is fairly efficient. The wastegate arm is in a place where you are going to have to adapt it as pointed out. If you are looking at that then I'd also suggest checking out the ATP turbo outlet. It fits right on and uses the stock location of the wastegate arm.

Thing is if you have to adapt the wastegate actuator to that location it's the same area I'm going to have to use for the Cossie and that will be more flow and efficiency for the work of adapting that location. If you really are going to run 10psi I wouldn't buy that item. I'd just work the stock wastegate so it's a bit more efficient and leave it at that. Save the money for when you want a Cossie.
