Default Will a vf45 turbo fit on a classic

As above,ive been asked if this vf45 is a straight fit onto a classic.
Is this possible or is it a no go?

Cheers

It's possible with a considerable degree of work and supporting parts but the short answer is no and you probably wouldn't want to anyway. Aside from anything else VF45 is a twin scroll unit so to even think about it you'd need to do the usual sump pan/oil pick up, exhaust manifold, downpipe and mounting bracket changes. Then the 45 has the new style vertical compressor outlet with a bolt-on flange fitting. It's possible you could unbolt and rotate it but having never seen one I couldn't in any way guarantee this.

Finally the VF45 seems to be the standard spec for the JDM Legacy. As such it's likely to be quite small and thus not ideally suited for making more power on a classic.

Rad! lol

What's it making on your set-up?

What do they typically max out at, bhp-wise?
