Hi guys,

Had my classic 2000 plate uk turbo mapped 2 years ago with a full decat afterburner system, uprated fuel pump vf34 turbo quikshift ind kit, the car made 325bhp on optimax ecutec mapped by powerstation, i was wondering what power you guys were getting from the vf34 turbos on classic imprezas? do you think it would be worth while if i put some 550cc injectors and a fmic and had it mapped again? what gains are their to be had..

Thanks for your help guys

350/360 out of my vf34

yeah it would be worth fitting a fmic and some 550cc and you may make the 350 markior near there

I had a VF34 on mine with 440 Injectors, I was running more than 325bhp, but that all comes down to the mapping and supporting mods. The next change for me would have 550 injectors to get the 360bhp mark.

I've just brought a vf34 and was told that 550 injectors would help gain more useable power so I got fine Sti pinks from here along with Sti top mount, 3 port boost valve, Sti up-pipe, sports cat down pipe, walbro fuel pump should see 330-350 hopefully.

i have a vf35 with 550 braided parellel fuel rails fpr @ 3bar tubular headers full de cat fmic running it all apexi power fc maped at 330 BHP was told that 350 was about all i would get so would a vf34 be a better turbo for me as you guy are talking 360

scooby_rich

thanks for the quick replys, yeah i was hoping for around 360bhp, i would go for a bigger turbo but just dont have the funds at the moment, what fmic are good both fittment wise and quality? i have heard of these ones called hybrid any views? als injectors wise do i just need the pink sti ones?

thanks guys

The VF34 will give you more top end power, it doesn't tail off as soon as the 35. It's slightly larger than the VF35 but will spool a little bit slower, off the top of my head I'm sure the 35 has a P15 housing where as the 34 is a P18.

can the vf34 make 360 bhp ? also does the front mount intercooler increase horsepower or is it just more efficient than t/m ?sti top mount good for over 400bhp . i have a vf34 , walbro ,550s etc etc on my 02wrx its going to be mapped at api using ecutek , can i expect over 330bhp ?? also would a fuel pressure reg help get the figures up ??

I was 380 with a hybrid vf34, pinkies, fmic, headers, ecu. Once the ceramic bearings go, its goosed. Can't get replacements. About 5 months out the ej20 before it melted too.. vf35 had identical housings, flanges and actuator - never had that one to bits though so not sure about the internals other than the ball bearings were noisier. Had surge/chatter too when i swapped the engine and turbo unit before it was mapped to 350.

you need to speak to harvey smith on here he will sort you out a hybrid intercooler and yes they are dam good for th emoney around the 350.oo mark to buy and i have one and many poeple use them on here and can run a lot of hp and they fit well

The VF34 is not a 350-360 turbo, any car that produces that kind of power with the VF34 is at the top of what it can make.

IMO its a 330-340 turbo at best

With right spec will make 350-360bhp,i was run on mine 350bhp WRX.

330-340bhp i would say is safe

Quite happily makes around 330bhp+ on the S202 (quoted 316bhp standard), mapped on one of those and your looking at 360bhp without issues.
Of course it depends on the car but it is capable of 350/360 without problems.

I never said it can not make those numbers, im saying that by rule of thumb its not a 360bhp turbo....as with all turbos there are exceptions.

My VF34 made 341 on my STI RA

I have a vf34 going on next month along with.. Sti tmic, denso 550s, walbro, 3 port, k + n panel filter, decat uppipe/downpipe/centre pipe. Being ecuteked at powerstation! Hoping for around 340/340 ish on my 2003 wrx

Exactly the same as what mine made on my RA mapped by JGM
