i think my car has a td04 turbo and been told a td05 makes a difference if so top end difference or pull away if some one can explain would be cool thanks

i think you'll get more lag with the td05 as it's a bigger tourbo so needs to build up a greater flow of air before it'll give you the go.

easy way to remember it - bigger turbo = bigger bhp potential but also bigger turbo = more turbo lag.

bigger chance to go bang also

the TD05 turbo is the most common upgrade for a UK car, as Jap Imports have them as standard, hence their power is higher than a UK car.

You should get a scoobyECU or other piggyback board so your ECU can be mapped accordingly or else you can end up with detonation as the engine would be running lean and blowing (usually) piston No4

If you do upgrade to a TD05, make sure you get all the supporting pipework with it, ie coolant and oil pipes as these will be slighty different

bit of a stupid question here, but will the turbo have the model number written on it in an obvious place?

Cornelius

on the TD05, it's written underneath the turbo inlet, so unless you take off the induction kit pipework, it's not easy to see, mind you it's still a bit tricky with the turbo still in the car

cheers. have always been a bit sceptical if mine has the td05 or the 04. seeing as it only made 250 with the total decat and equal length headers, it got me wondering even more.

Cornelius

iTrader: (2)

what model car is yours?UK/JDM?

mine is a jdm, with full decat and induction kit my car was 263BHP

with headers, walbro 255l fuel pump and water injection and ScoobyECU remap, I got 311BHP (on the old engine)

is that why it went bang to much power for the old dog??? he he (sorry paul only joking, know what it feels like for an engine (or 2) to go bang)

Thanks.....................MATE

oil pump failure, what really pee's me off is that I was going to put in a Roger Clark modified pump before I went to germany

nevermind, I can see the funny side of it now, though my bank balance can't

glad you can see the funny side now, same as me the first time it went i nearly cried....and that was due to oil stravation!!

Any figures for the new engine yet?

Cornelius

iTrader: (2)

not yet mate, got an electronic boost controller and bigger injectors to go in yet, then it's remap time

94 jdm wrx with full decat (h&s downpipe, resonated decat centre section, jap style rear box), headers and panel filter.

i think the walbro could be the next step. have been looking at the esl ecu upgrade as well. similar to the scooby ecu. about £195 i think.

what figures are you hoping to get?

Cornelius

iTrader: (2)

The car feels as though it's got a hell of a lot more torque!!

going by other 2.5 conversions I've seen, I'll probably be around the 330 mark.
once it's mapped I'll get it on the rollers

and as much torque to go with it
