is it possible to conver a turbo from front to side entry?? if the turbo is a fron entry what would you need to convert a my93wrx to accept it

 

a 90 degree samco hose, a 2" bit of ally tube and some hose clips

not sure on the diameter of the turbo you are putting on though

 

out of interest why do you want to change your turbo???

 

more power mate td04s not big enough but all the turbos that come up for sale are front entry jobs

 

i take it its a wagon then?

you are best off looking for a tdo5 and a z4 ecu from a 96 wrx, the turbo and ecu will both be plug and play

 

I have a Side entry housing from a TD05 that ive just converted to front entry and a 16G compressor wheel in the garage

 

na its a saloon but ive been told its a side entry

 

a wrx or uk salloon (up to MY96) should have a TD05 as standard.

the TD05 is a 90 deg(side entry) turbo as standard is better than 95% of the front entry ihi turbos.

it will make more power and is a lot more reliable than the ihi turbos too!

 

Is it an automatic saloon?

 

is it ill have a look when i get heat shield off tomorrow???? what "g" is it if it is..

no manual sallon wrx import

 

Will be a TD05 16G 90deg entry on that model for definate, unless someone has changed it.
My car just made 348bhp/330ft.lb with this turbo.

 

nicely done guys this has made my week everyone kept telling me they were fitted with 04s

 

 

Nice one.
Contrary to popular opinion, the power output will not improve noticably with a front entry under inlet manifold intake as opposed to a front entry with a SWEEPING 90 deg silicone to allow a side intake which is easier to do.
Having done it a few times, we know, don't we Jonny.

 

thanks guys just stripped her down and shes got an 05 that shaves some money off my project that i can spend elsewhere

 

ohhhh yes
