320-330 bhp mate with around 300-320 torque,will feel pretty rapid in a classic

i agree,although with a good vf34 the op may fetch a little more power.

Didn't want to say more as most fall short over 330 although mine pulled 354/341 at 1.45 bar

Thanks for reply was hoping might make abit more rough 340/350bhp or is it poss with 550cc injecters as had a newage before this v8 sti with supporting mods and that was quick hoping this will be quicker

Look for 330 and anything after is bonus,it will defo be quicker than your ver8 due to less weight in a classic

the vf34 is a good turbo and spools well,and should with a bit of luck see 330,thats always the problem with modifying,always expecting more than you actually get.

well as long as it is quick till i can afford a better turbo injectors and a must brakes then a case of what gives up first box or block

Very true,it's not the figure but how it drives that counts

+1 for the above ,330bhp in a classic compared to 350 bhp in a newage should not be much difference imho, as the newage is 80+ kgs heavier.

Question being, why change from a vf28 to a vf34? There will be little gain if any, my v5 type r is running 320-330 on the std tmic.

You may want to consider having FPR and you can see more power. My car made 366.1bhp on 440cc, (i have a different turbo) with FPR, it certainly helps squeezing a little more power of the injectors.

Hi there was told a vf34 was a better turbo than the vf28 for power ?like i say am new to modding subarus all the ones before were as i bought but now i know ask for advice on here as its top

34 is better than 28 but only marginal mate

I have blob wrx and i made 301hp on td04 with suporting mods.
Hoping to get hold of a good vf34 and make 340-350hp with the addition to fit sti tmic, pinks. Is it easily possible?

Throw in some meth and you'll gain a few more horses, although the fuelling may need beefing up.

Eminently possible.
Here's some turbo comparisons.

The IHI VF-34 Turbo is found on the limited production Subaru v7 WRX STI-RA (GDB). This turbo is differentiated from the VF30 through it's more advanced bearing design. The bearing design allows for much quicker turbo spool-up (depending on tuning, 300-500+ RPMs over the VF30), while retaining the power capabilities of the VF30. The VF34 is capable of 350+ HP (~300+whp) This turbo is a direct bolt-on for all GC8, GDA, GDB EJ20 turbo engines. This is an excellent replacement turbo for those looking for substantial power gains while maintaining streetability

Conversions used where I had control over conversion factors:
1 HP approx equals 1.45 CFM

1 CFM approx equals 0.0745 lb of air/min

0.108 Lb/min approx equals 1 hp

1 Meter cubed/sec = 35.314 CFS = 2118.867 CFM

1 KG/sec = 132 lbs/min approx equals 1771.812 CFM

power coversions:
1 PS = 0.9859 HP = 75 Kgf m/sec
1.3405 HP = 1 KW
1 HP = 746 watts

Not on a car like mine (5sp box), think ill stop at that and leave so car will be reliable and not wanting to blow up etc. until i get my next car!!lol
