how much is a vf34 worth 2nd hand? and whats the equivalent in a scoobyclinic billet turbo to this cheers.

 

Hi there you can sell VF34 for £350-£400,but this depend on millage etc.
And about the Scoobyclinic range,VF34 is good turbo with right mods will made 350-360bhp,on mine make 350bhp..

I watched one on ebay last week sell for £645 in vgc with low miles.

 

A good condition vf 34 can be worth as much as 500 which is what i saw 1 go for on fleebay!
Its the SC 36 i think which is same size but will produce very good figures from what i see and have heard!!

 

ok cheers lads i have :-

headers
full exhaust turbo back no cats
vf34 @ 1.4 bar
apexi management

what power should i be seeing and what power on a billet turbo equivalent to vf34??

Cheers Hutch

 

Id say you should see around 320ish bhp give or take 10 and tbho it wouldn't be worth the extra cash involved to change to SC version for what little gain you would see over a vf 34.

 

ok mate i thought it wu be a little higher than that. Whats the next step for more power??

 

Its only round about figures im guessing at mate,you could end up at 340 which tbho with the good spool time of the 34 will make a very quick road car indeed.
What power have you got now or have been used too?

 

im not sure iv only drive it once as its been in my garage for 3 weeks lol i have a print out for 306bhp rr dynamics but this was with the headers blowing so dunno how much power am loosing do you?

 

It wouldn't be a huge amount mate but trust me when i say with a properly set up 340-350bhp classic on a vf 34 you won't be let down by how well it will perform.
Ive found from my experience that people get too involved and caught up on BHP figures when its how the power is delivered that counts,when mapped properly 350 with good spool is more than ample for road use and will keep up with most things you will come across!!

 

Thanks mate my brother had a v3 type r with 2.5 bottom end, headers, vf34 ,simtek all the mashings and it was horribly quick. Obviously with mine being 2.0 its not as torquey. At the end of the day as long as it performs well stuff the figures its pub talk !!! cheers lad

 

No worries mate

 

I'm breaking 350bhp with my vf34....

Full RCM exhaust system (headers, 3" downpipe thru to silencer)
RCM induction kit
RCM super lightweight flywheel
VF34 owen developments turbo with Owen development uprated actuator
Pristine boost solenoid
Walbro fuel pump
And ofcourse a top ECUtek remap from mr bob rawle...

The sheer raw way that the power is delivered is shocking lower down in the gears, any slight bit of rain and all 4 corners are lit up!
