Hi all,

Looking to swap the TD04 on my MY99 UK car to a TD05-16 (will be modified for front entry). Could someone please tell me for definate if any of the oil or water lines will need changing and any other relevant info for this conversion? Would like to get all the parts I need before swapping the turbo over.

Thanks

 

the oil return is ok the oil feed pipe is ok although i am not sure about the banjo bolt size for the oil feed, you will need the water pipes for the tdo5.

 

You will need a complete TD05 turbo as the , water lines and connection banjo for the oil feed are different to that of the TD04.


Finally a remap to suit the TD05 to get the best performance and safety out of it.

 

Okay, so everything is different. I'll be mapping it myself. Thanks!

 

Out of interest, what if the same question was TD04 -> VF22? I believe a different oil feed is required with a restrictor for the roller bearing turbo.. can anyone shed the facts on this also? Thanks

 

That is correct mate as most vf turbo's are ball bearing housed means they require less oil to feed them where as a sleeve bearing turbo requires more oil. I fitted a td05 turbo to a wrx back in april and the the water pipes were exactly the same as were the banjo bolts for the oil on the td04,so no need to change - both sleeve bearing turbos.

 

Am I right in thinking the VF22 was fitted to the 22b model? Should this mean I can get all the pipes/fitting I need from Subaru direct? Does anyone have a list of all that's required to fit this turbocharger to a MY99 car? Thanks.

 

Anyone?

 

If you are fitting a vf 22 then you will need the top banjo bolt,your water feed pipes off your td04 will fit,they are normally joined by a small piece of metal between each pipe,simply bend back and forth till the metal snaps then bolt to turbo accordingly using copper washers both sides of the bolt .

 

midnight- cheers, i'll try and find the right banjo fitting.
