As above, and what power output is it capable of please.

Thanks

VF35 I think. Max BHP is around 330-350 if your lucky

With a few choice mods the VF35 will see you well beyond 350bhp. My v3 sti is running 370+ on V Power @ 1.4 Bar. Recently I helped setup a UK classic with a VF35 and it ran 367bhp with 342ft/lbs torque.

Not seen many running over 350bhp to be honest!

Big 'D'

Probably not but out of the last 3 classics I helped setup with VF35 turbos the lowest power output was 355bhp and this was only due to that particular Impreza being a bit det happy perhaps due to a bad batch of fuel.

Not doubting you for a second ,but there will always be exceptions to the rule,ie most td04 's after a remap will hit 270 bhp,but some have made 286 bhp . Exactly the same as a post on here a few weeks ago regarding the vf28,the norm is about 320 - 330 bhp,but harvey has had 367 bhp out of a vf28. i may be wrong but if we did a survey on the members on here who have vf35 turbo's i think you would find a good 70% of them below 350 bhp,mainly as they dont want to trash the gerarboxes imho.

Big 'D'

Perhaps its just because they have not been running my setup, 3 out of 3 all running above 350 and all sharing the same or very similar setups is no exception to the rule.

My 2003 blobeye has got 340bhp with 328 lbs/ft torque on standard turbo.

350 hp is more typical, so don't hedge your bets that it will be 370 hp.
Choice of rolling road will also influence the figure quoted.

Yes your right regarding 'YOUR' set up ,but 3 people running up to 370 bhp,compared to 300 + people who have had there vf35 turbo's mapped by the likes of bob rawle ,jgm ,dynamix ,andy forresst ,etc and a runnuing a safe & reliable 330 -350 bhp - shows your set up IS an exception to the rule.
I am not saying that it is not possible ,merely stating that most people who tend to want a reliable turbo that will take them comfortably over 350 bhp don't opt for the vf35 .

Big 'D'

Bob mapped all 3 of the cars I have setup and he was quite impressed with the results. As for hedging my bets I think mine is closer to 380 than 350. After all do you know a 350bhp (flywheel) impreza that can run 11.80 @ 111mph.

Thanks for all the info guys, so its fair to say that 350bhp< / 330lb> is easily achievable with the standard tiurbo unit.

Ive had 4 Scoobs, however im new to the STI's although Ive been running well over STI power in my last WRX. So without wanting to open a huge can of worms in this thread or even starting a new thread; I assume the STI Gearbox (6 speed) unlike the 50% of the WRX 5 Speed are more than capable of running in excess of 350 bhp, even more so with the STI's ECU with launch control etc? My last car gearbox let go when I dropped it a peg to overtake, and this wasnt over revving or even slamming it into gear!!

So from a standard STI with decat and remap I should see a SAFE 350 easily? and should I want to progress to nearer 400 what would i need to do?

Thanks everyone for your input.

Regards
Rob

PS sorry about my grammer, bit of a sore head from last night ;-)

No I don't , your individual set up is working and may be the norm for you, but most people tend to get 330 - 350 bhp . I never said this was the max the turbo could take , and you have clearly shown that it is capable of more just as Harvey did a few weeks ago regarding the vf28.

so the figures quoted are from Bob's road dyno?

Be interesting to see what they are like from a real chassis dyno.

As said 330-350 is the norm for a good vf35 set up. Some exceptions make more than 350 but it is rare. You have been very lucky or have an extremely well set up car.

Big 'D'

Yes the figures for the 2 UK cars running the Ecutek maps were power run by Bob, my own car needs to be run on a dyno to prove the figures but if it turns out to be less than 370 then I will be very surprised. I know that 350 would be the normal max Bhp but I think that my setup may have changed the boundaries a little and I am certain that what I am doing can be applied to other units too. We shall see, I will keep posting the figures as they come in.

Cheers Iain

Big 'D'

I would like to add that all three of the cars Including my own are all mapped @ a peak boost of 1.4 bar so its not even as if they are being rinsed, I am fairly certain they can run 1.5 Bar quite happily.

Which car ran with the VF37? Thanks
