What is a VF49 and what power is it good for?

 

Hatch STI IIRC, around 370/380 possibly more. I think Dynamix has mapped said turbo on a GD car?

 

I believe the VF49 is a JDM twin scroll turbo, not sure what the bhp/torque capability is as there very little information on them.

I'd be interested to know if it would be a good upgrade for the VF36 on my Spec C.

 

Are you thinking of the VF48?

 

LOL Yes, ignore my last Peter. Stu

 

Is the VF49 not the twin scroll legacy turbo?

Its the New JDM Sti turbo isnt it

 

I think that the VF49 is used by Prodrive in the Hatchback N14 cars that they build.

Have a look at the turbochargers listed on Adgespeed's parts page.

I could be wrong though...

Perhaps this VF49 might just be worth looking at after all.

 

Yup seen its used in the N14, but have you seen the power figures for said car?

The torque is very respectable at around 403 lbs/ft torque plus I believe aren't these class N cars running with restrictors.

 

I have found out that this is the standard JDM Hatchback STi turbo as used from 2008 on.

 

Is it capable of more power than a vf36 or vf37

 

Having spoken to Bob Rawle he thinks it would be a slight backward step from a VF36 and not really any different to a V37 in real terms, looks like it's a Litchfield turbo for me next year.

 

Any new info about this Turbo ? I have a idea to swap my current turbo with VF49 on my EJ257. Will it work ? Any Ideas ?
