i have a 1997 uk turbo wagon. ive been looking on ebay to get some bits, im just wondering what make/spec my turbo is??

 

TD04

 

cheers matey

 

ok another quick one.... Ive been offered a TD05 with 29k on it for £100

1, is that a good price
2, will it fit as replacement for my TD04
3, Will i need any ECU work/re-map to run it??

cheers

 

1:Yes imo
2:Will have to be converted to front entry
3:Yes

It is off an Impreza as if it's off an Evo it won't fit.

 

its off my mates Impreza, his is a highly modded one but its on a L plate

 

doesn't matter if it's a L plate as both UK and import saloons had TD05s as standard

 

so itl be beneficial for me to get it for modding then

 

yes imo

My mate (a subaru mechanic) converted one to front entry and runs it on his 98 UK turbo 2000 (forged engine though, hdi boost controller plus a few fuelling mods) and hits about 320bhp

 

No UK classics had TD05's.

 

As far as i know the 94-96 UK saloons had them then went to td04 fe i may be mistaken though

 

ok cool, ill grab it off him then.

He's also got and STI and P1 top mount intercooler. Will this make any difference to mine if i change it??

 

Yes
what exactly do you want form the car and how much have you got to spend

 

nothin to silly tbh.

its got turbo back exhaust already, airfilter. but other than that engine wise its standard.

I can spend quite a bit, just obviously in bits to as n when i get the cash.

What u thinking??

 

Brakes are still 2 pots on your car so i would personally look at investing in a set of late model 4 pots of brembos off newage STIs but this will incur you spending money on bigger wheels.

I would do this before getting more power.

remapping your car is a big expense as you need to buy a replacement ecu as yours isn't remappable at the mo have a look here for some prices www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk

 

ok cool, atm i have 18' Oz chromo's so will i get away with them after the upgrade?

 

I would expect so first though check you don't already have better brakes (4 pots have SUBARU embossed on them and Brembos have brembos written on them possibly just as a sticker)

 

im not to sure exactly whats on it, but ive ordered some drilled and groved discs for the front and rear

mine have Subaru on them, they are realy good now but i want them better

 

Like this



They are 4 pots may be worth putting on a set of Goodridge braided hoses as well (about £50)

 

yep thats them good thing then
