Right i'm halfway through swapping my dead TD04 for a nice fresh VF35.

I have been reading up on it and after originally thinking I would need new banjo's for the oil and water feed I now see that I can just split them so they fit.

What I would like to know is do I need VF banjo bolts to reduce the pressure in the turbo or does it work the other way round (of I was going from a VF tp a TD).

Is it worth getting some new banjo bolts from Subaru anyway and how much do they cost?



Thanks.

 

Your right in thinking that the ball bearing type needs a restrictor ( usually a 1mm restrictor) but i thought the VF35 still use's a sleeve type bearing and not a ball bearing design like the VF34 has - stand to be corrected on this though.

VF35 is a sleeve bearing turbo, 34 is a roller bearing turbo, now what year car do you have? as your going to need her remapping after the turbo is fitted or your going to have issues MY99/00 cars have mappable ecu's, along with MY01 onward cars, 97/98 will need a new after market ecu, prior to that there are a few options available to you, aftermarket or mappable chip.

So what you are saying is I will need the more restircted banjo bolt?

Yes mapping is all sorted it will be going to JGM asap.

 

You don't need to change the banjo going from TD>VF only the other way around

 

ive dont exactly same as you and was told to make sure i had the right oil bango bolt as they are diffrent size hole from old td04 your taking off
and what a diffrent car after all done, full bost at 3300rpm and stays that way instead of a little blast of air from the td04 at 2500rpm to 4000rpm

 

fitted a vf35 on mine my00 but just used the banjos that came with the vf35

is this ok ?

 

God only knows.

I'm getting the new bolts anyway just tp be sure as there doesn;t seem to be a definitice answer.

Andyxros: What power are you now running?

 

i dont know never got round to rolling road it as its only numbers and not going to make car faster my 4to1 headers made a diffrence at the top end loads more but mapper said it was a tiny bit more laggey which i cant feel anyway

 

I know what you mean mate, numbers arn't shouldn't be important. I just can't help the ***** waving
