i have a 51 bug eye with turbo back decat larger than sti topmount intercooler and a scooby clinic tek 3 remap running at 277 bhp was just going to change the up pipe but seen as i have to remap might as well get a few more bits on then do remap.
was wondering what turbo and injectors to use without blowing my engine or without changing any major engine parts.
i have a tdo4 turbo and i think the injectors are blue im going t change uppipe and headers and walbro fuel pump too then remap so any ideas about turbo and injector match up would really help thanx

Tidgy

vf34 or vf35 then 550's and you'll hit a nice 330bhp

scoobyDAZZA

as Tidgy says , you might get a bit more than 330 IF you want it to.

but

what BHP are you looking for ?

anymore than 350 then you'll have to look at stregthening other areas , like clutch,box,internals etc

i made just under 350 bhp with a vf34.

cmed

thats it i dont wanna change owt else but around the 330 bhp sound nice if thats what the standard block can handle thatll do nicely got to get the parts now

Tidgy

it'll take more than that, but 330 will be pretty quick and is well within safe limits so shold stay reliable

cmed

forgot to mention i have typhoon induction kit too and im looking just to get max bhp without blowing the lot

cmed

nice car scoobydazza
whats the diffrence between vf34 and 35 and are sti pink injectors 550

Tidgy

34 is roller bearing, 35 is the same turbo, none roller bearing and has a slightly smaler exhaust housing to keep its spool rate similar to vf34. the 34 is good for a few extra ponnies, but not alot.

or at least that how i understand it.

i've got just over 340bhp out of the vf34 on my classic uk turbo

I have fitted a VF35 (Ported) Turbo,Sti injectors, new headers, APS top mount, fuel pump and a full de-cat with re-map on a mates 01 Bugeye and his made 329 BHP with 330 lbs torque.

A tad laggy but when on boost it moves very well.

4th to 5th on his box started to crunch after while but i added some gearbox additive he supplied and it cured the problem, still on his original clutch at 60k miles as well.

cmed

what price do they go for mate second hand

Tidgy

vf35 tend to be roughly up to £300, 34 you'll be buying new cos there rare as rocking horse poo, i paid 750 ish fitted iirc

cmed

vf 35 it is then cos im skint thinks this is going to take a while but going to buy all the parts slowly i think then get em fitted

Tidgy

dont forget to budget for mapping it as well, will just be a tweek i think, but have a word with the clinic and get a price from em or whoever you want to map it so you know

cmed

would a tdo5 be any good cos these vf turbos look exspensive

cmed

or what about a vf 22 what are these capable of ?

cmed

anyone ?

JamesVTS

just got a td05 for my bugeye, yet to fit it, then ill get it mapped, hoping for approx 320bhp

cmed

what other mods you running mate

JamesVTS

decated, downpie, hks filter, ninja exhaust, walbro, (td05 and remap) coming soon

If you go for a TD05 you need a front entry. Rugged turbo. Reasonable spool and some of them have made up to 350 bhp. VF34 would be a good choice for what you want and a VF35 is a little behind that but a good choice again.

Clear your in box mate and yes I do port headers and wrap them etc etc.

cmed

ok cheers harvey

cmed

looks like i got myself a vf 35 turbo pink injectors and a harvey smith set of headers and up pipe thanks for the advice going to be a while before i fit and remap though
