Hi ive got a 1996 Wrx and getting mapped next week with GEMs ecu and just wondering what sort of power im looking at. It has

TD04 Turbo
440cc injectors
FMIC
Warbo fuel pump
Induction Kit
Uprated manifold/headers
Full Decat 3" system

 

270 - 280. td04 is the limiting factor her. just doesnt flow enough air.

 

if you got a vf turbo you should be seeing over 300bhp providing your engine is all ok

 

he has a td04. and LOL at 3000BHP. the next totb winner!!!

 

So is it worth holding back the remap for a bit and getting a new turbo, if so what sort of price are they going to be.

 

i would hold out for a new turbo mate,

anything from £100 to £2000

i would go for a vf34 turbo which are good 330/340 bhp

i have a vf43 on mine which is running a safe 340 bhp

 

If your motor is a Import 96 it should have a TD05 on it now unless its a wagon? On a TD05 and your other mods should see 330ish.

 

depends what you want mate. how deep are your pockets. if you change to a TD05 16G, 18G or 20G or one of the MD series of blowers, even a nice VF series you will notice a difference. but this is when the rest of the car starts to let you down. if it was a simple matter of just bolting on a bigger turbo it would be great.

As for prices e-gay items you can have for a few hundred pounds (not recommended) to expensive garret gt series or MD321 at £1500-2550. as i said how much do you want to spend?

 

Lol whats the TD05 like compared to mine as im tempted to hold out as i wanted around 320/330bhp

 

a TD05 16G will cope fine with that sort of power. the turbo isnt the full story though, you need to get the turbo mapped properly. make sure you get the right fitment too.

 

Have you checked the Turbo currently on the car ?

 

Yea was fitting some injectors today as saw it was a td04

 

Odd should be a TD05 mate

 

Ok il look for one of them, yea il get it mapped once it is fitted what fitment would it be for 1996 model?

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-fo...06-subaru.html this turbo be any good?

 

Is your car an Import? You need a 90 degree entry turbo, the one in the link may be ok you would need to check it, however there is also a chance its been converted to front entry in which case its not a direct bolt on with your set up.

 

erm...........NO. cant check the provenance on that. might be worse than the one you have.

 

Ok thanks mate, ive found this one aswell and yea its imported. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Subaru-Impreza...item4aa11a6e1b

 

Lol true wheres best place to pick them up?

 

No oil lines, actuator or coolant lines on the above one, you can pick them up complete cheap enough.

 

sorry mate i would avoid gay bay as well, but if your looking to pick one up for less than £100 quid your seriously going to compromise the car. they are £100 for a reason. a fully checked warrantied TD05 16G is about £500, a bit less if you do a swap.

 

Where the hell do you get your prices from Sinky? £140 more and i can get a BNIB Genuine 18G from a WELL respected UK retailer on here!

 

I am looking at a certain scottish mappers prices?

 

Ah i see, there are other offerings at slightly lower prices due to no Vat currently.

I have a few 16g,s and will be selling them soon when they have been serviced rebuilt if required

 

Let me know about them mate as il be looking for one soon enought what sorta price you be looking at

 

90 degree normally around £150 delivered and FE are around £230 as i have to pay for the covers to be converted.

Im still miffed as to why your car has a TD04 on it if its a WRX saloon? Is it a UK car or JDM?

 

£450 LOL

 

Fitted

 

yes, bit surprised by that myself. might have had a turbo change prior to being imported? 96 will be a jdm surely

good choice on the ecu mate good old solaris. i cant reply to your PM as your inbox is full. dung it out ffs

 

Or indeed whilst in the UK to get it back on the road at some point then sold on

 

Get an 18g fitted, 370bhp and a funkrd grearbox.
