hi people, can anyone tell me what turbo is really on my 99 jdm wrx
two people hav said a td04 and three hav said a vf23 but i think these people are going off hearsay,cant see just from looking at it and dont want to go taking it off just to see, any real pro'z ouy there who actually no and could tell me this would be wikid,,,,,,

and also whats the differance between the 99 wrx intercooler and the 99 sti intercooler,ive had them both side by side an cant see any differance (mayby bigger piping but not by much at all) and it worth changing the wrx ic to the sti ic,,

any adive would be wikid
(1 day ill no enough to help other people but still a bit green at the mo)

scoobyDAZZA

it's neither of the above

i believe it's the TD05

the STi of that year had the vf28

GC8

It'll be an IHI VF-series turbo, not a Mitsubishi TD05. I cant remember which one for certain though.

did the later jdm classics not have a td05 like my old 95 wrx?

Simon, I'm extremely dissapointed in this response. Please return your Scoobynet Phd without delay !

wikid11

well thats a spanner in the works, here i was thinking tdo4 or vf23, i forgot to say it was a wagon dont no if that means any thing,it has the same ps rating as the wrx saloon,

chocolate_o_brian

iTrader: (22)

iirc all wagons have a lower ps rating than the saloons and a smaller td04 turbo for the wrxs and uk models. someone may correct me on this but afaik all classic wrx wagons had td04's as standard unless special edition v-limited etc.

simon???

i got the ps ratings off the mrt performance chart for jdm cars, the my99 wagon and saloons had 280ps and my99 sti's had 300ps, have also check a few more charts they all had the same figures, exept one that said all cars of that year had 280ps

try this mate. it should shed some light on your qureies regaring ps figures. simon is the best guy on hee to ask but likes his lay-ins.

Which Car is a WRX STi

you will find unless a sti the wagon wrx ps is lower than that of the saloons all the way through. or so it looked to me. i apologise if proven wrong.

im off to bed now,

http://www.sidc.co.uk/faq.html this is just one of the pages i got of the ps ratings from and the rest(all but one) say the same thing (its half way down the faqs page) my model is GF8F58D

wikid11

its under 2.1.1 japanese prodution runs, the 5door auto is 240ps mines manual

GC8

Im sure that we've talked about this before. Is the car an imported JDM? If so, then Im afraid that the reference that youre refering to is incorrect. Later JDM F5 GF8s were rated at 240PS (as were FATs); not 280PS. To the best of my knowledge NZ/Aus cars are mechanically similar to UK cars although theyre branded 'WRX'.

I believe that this car will have a straight entry TD04 turbocharger, similar to V4> UK Saloons.

If it was a Saloon then I think that itd have an IHI VF22.....

Andy Forrest is a top man; but that link is of no use here whatsoever.

Sc0oby

if its a jdm wrx ra it would be a VF28 for sure

GC8

The VF28 was used on STIs, not Type-RAs. An STI Type-RA is an STI.

Bat-Fink

I put it in as It's says what TYPE of turbo Imprezas come with.

IE is it a TD or a VF series,would be good if there was a full list of what model of VF and TD are fitted to all the Imprezas.

Another pointless post.

you dont like bat-fink much do you simon?

andy

Bat-Fink

How?

I was merly giving a USEFUL link so that when people see this and ain't very clued up can click it then come away a bit more aware.

Stupid statements like what you just posted are pointless posts.



Andy:The feelings mutal and TBH I couldn't care less.

lol ok kids calm down... back to the guys original point please. too many threads end up a battle between egos ok!

andy

Bat-Fink

Not a battle between our egos.

I ain't as big headed as some people.

Don't care tho it's only the internet.

andy

wikid11

scoobyDAZZA

Sc0oby

they did release a JDM WRX RA with an VF28. This models come with a yellow black interior.
