Does anyone know which turbo is fitted to the above 250 bhp model, i understand its slightly bigger than the uk one.
Thanks.

 

AFAIK its still a TD04 turbo, same as a uk car, but will see what i can find out.

Tony

PS the other way is to look down onto the turbo and it should have in (small) letters what it is.

 

I`l have a look, they are supposed to have a 30% larger intercooler as well , this info came from jap performance mag.
Thanks Tony

 

Im pretty sure its all the same......

I worked out that the volume of the newage STI intercooler is 30% more than the WRX so maybe thats what they were referring to. Im confident they have the TD04 and the same IC, probably just have boost set to 1.05 bar or something.

They also have a shorter gearbox too as far as im aware. A friend on my forum has one.

 

Ah jap performance.... well that says it all
After reading and ripping into their scooby guide, shows how much they know (subtle details like early uk cars had 4 channel ABS )
I only know of one person with a new age JDM WRX so ill have to ask rusty about it, but i dont think there is much difference between the 2 cars except for the power.

Tony

 

yeah thats rusty on our board too....small world

 

On the turbo are the numbers 89-1350 i think , its difficult to see, also there appears to be some sort of clamp around around the turbo with i040 i think!!!

Make that 1d104h.

 

His car ran a nice 250bhp on prosports rollers, pretty spot on what it should be doing, nice

Tony

 

exactly, cant ask fairer than that!! especially if it was on UK fuel

 

Any of those numbers mean anything to you? I cant see any others

 

not to me sadly, if i still had my TD04 id have a look....but it went a while ago now.

 

Hmmmm, the 04h is a version of the TD04 (should be on the newage wrx's) so possably that.....
That though would just confirm that its the same as a uk car turbo wise.

Tony

 

Know the feeling, my car has a vf36 on so not worth looking at it.

Tony

 

Perhaps jap performance were just getting a little excited it would be nice if mags printed the facts if thats the case does the TD04 run out of puff then?

 

TD04 runs out of puff at about 290.....i have a friend that managed 293, but most seem to settle at about 285 @1.2bar ish.....

so you still have a little headroom.

 

unless you put a 2.5 on it then you can achaive 350bhp and 350lbft!! :P

 

Having a re-map done on thursday so if i can get 285 and a nice hike in torque i`l be well chuffed

Thanks for the info lads.
