the turbo on my 97 type r is a td04l, n i don't think that should on there should it??

 

No, probably a VF23

 

is that what it should hav on it? i was going 2 put a td05 on instead ?? or is ther a better turbo i should choose ?

 

My 1997 Type R has a VF24 on it.

 

Agree - I thought it was the smaller VF24 too .

I thought the VF23 was the slighty larger one (exhaust housing at least) that was exclusively fitted to the 22B - with the even larger VF22 being a factory fit option

Indeed, as far as JDM saloons are concerned, isn't it?...

* MY93-96 v.1/2... TD05H-16G
* MY97/98 v.3/4... VF24
* MY99 v.5.......... VF28
* MY00 v.6.......... VF29 (or possibly VF28 too?)

 

My (98) Version 4 STI Type R runs a VF22!!!

 

98 WRX runs a VF23 as standard. Subaru parts bin has a mind of it's own.

 

The sti version 3 defo came with the vf23 and the sti4 came with the samller vf24.

You learn something new everyday

Sorry to be one of those annoying "I don't know what I'm talking about" types

 

Ok so now i know what it should have on it...would putting a TD05 turbo on it be better than the TD04 and a VF... turbo, or should i put the turbo it should have on it....on it? (that last bit did make sense lol =D )

 

If you are planning on remapping the car then I would go for the td05, if not just stick the vf23 on.

Agree with banny on this.

 

What if the whole engine isnt the correct spec?

I would get it checked over.

 

yep i'm planning on havin an apexi power fc fitted nxt year, the engine had suspected head gasket problem so i decided 2 give it a full rebuild.
thanx 4 the help n suggestions

Are you running the TD04 without a remap then?

 

I'm guessin yes because i've had the ecu aparts and it looks std....the TD04 turbo is under powering the car, as it doesn't or should i say didn't seem as fast as it should have dun compared 2 my old wrx which was re-mapped 2 305bhp???
Also its only just running just under a bar of boost?
