Just curious to see what power levels were achieved with the stock turbo

Thanks!

 

I thought the 22B used the VF23 turbo, I had that turbo on my old classic, and it felt much quicker then my newage scooby with the VF28 turbo which made 308bhp.

 

think its got the vf22, which i will be using a hybrid version of (bigger compressor wheel) on my 03 with a 2.5.....just curious to see what was made from it in standard trim

 

oh and you forgot the 0.1

 

Also I saw that your having a few things done to your car, are you keeping your standard 5 speed or you going STi 6-speed.

 

5 speed till it breaks, the bill to get it back on the road is enough for now

just seen alanbell is selling a jdm 6 speed for 1600 inc diff bad timing!!

 

I know what you mean, I budgeted round my car thinking the gearbox would be a weak link, but then was told that it was stronger then the classic shape gearboxes, Ive heard 350bhp is about limit.

Looks like ill have to find a extra 41.9bhp from somewhere and take it to the limit.

 

mine has already survived plenty of abuse at 400 or so (similar torque), so yeah, it can be strong but theres no telling for how long, hopefully ill find out soon

the casings from 2000 onwards are considered to be stronger than thei rolder countaparts.

 

I thought it was a false rumour that some 22Bs had the VF22. I went in AlanG's car with VF22 and it was pretty much like a TD05 with a bit later boost onset, but they tend to explode their compressor wheels. VF23 is not bad, not quite up there with a TD05 though I'd say. Neither are a lot of the hybrids if keeping the IHI turbine wheel IMHO. Not sampled anything on a 22B though.

 

I thought the VF23 was on the 22B?

Russell

 

So did I.

 

i may very well be wrong then.....this has had a new compressor wheel put in though (larger) so hpefully wont explode. does MD195 ring any bells?

 

so if it wasnt on the 22b......what the hell was it on??

Using the search function would have saved you time (and money )

Thought the 99 WRX was a VF29?

97 WRX is VF22 IIRC?

 

That depends what my target is andy, i cant afford to go too high as i dont have the spare 1500 odd to justify a new ECU.... if i can extract 370 from it then i will be happy enough. even less will still make for a fast road car

its not going to be laggy in any shape or form on a 2.5.

 

Is it worth changing to a 2.5 if you are only after 370 ?

No need for a new ECU on your car until you are way past that point, 03Denso ecu is an excellent unit.

 

yes because its the cheapest option available to me really. I want the car to be relatively unstressed as id like to use it a fair bit more on the track. Less drag stuff......(and even less nitrous ) I thought that the 03s ecu wouldnt take much above 400 reasonably? simply due to limitations in the maf? or am i wrong on that?

 

The maf can either be run in a bigger tube or in a 'blow thro' configuration, optionally you can also run map on the std ecu.
Guys in the states are running 500+ on std ECU's

 

thats is true, i think what im getting at is that if the car was say....370 then its going to be as quick as my old engine was with the nos on......meaning that its more than enough for me at the moment. If i get my way then the engine will be built with stronger pistons and rods to that i have the flexibility of more power later on, without it all coming in one hit. I know that i "could" theoretically have 450 now.....but i dont want to (yet) id rather do it in stages, hence why i passed up a GT30 hybrid in favour of the MD195 (for very reasonable money so not much "wasted" on it, just yet )

I think the combination of all the pieces should make for a very nice car at this stage.

 

I see now I knew you were looking at GT30R / SBRxx etc and hence couldn't understand why you went for the MD195.
What happened to the old 2.0 ? Did the nos on the top speed run kill it

 

sorry to thread jack, but how is it possible to run MAP on 03ECU ? I thought the only option was MAF based.

 

Only after 2 months!! it died when i was in traffic on the way to work a rod snapped!

Yeah i decided not to go the GT30 route just yet as i couldnt justify the extra expense of the other things that would go wrong.....

 

The 22b is defo a Vf 22, mine is?

Steve

 

The first 100 22b's had a vf22 then after that they used the vf23 iirc.

 

mine was

 

WRX Type R V-ltd has them as standard

 

i recently sold JDM box and diff and everything for a convertion for £1500

 

MD195 is a VF22 Hybrid with a larger garrett sourced compressor wheel fitted in a modified compressor housing.

It would have been made by Turbo Dynamics to Lateral Performance's specs and then sold by Mark. It could also have been fitted with an uprated adjustable pressure regulator.

Nice turbo for a responsive 2.5, quite similar to a TD05/18G in terms of size
