As title..
I've bought a VF34 for my uk turbo. Does anyone know if i'm going to encounter any problems in fitting ? Or..has anyone done this conversion before ? Thanks a lot. Johnny |
well I've just put a VF35 on a MY98 which should be the same.
The only snag was the oil return pipe underneath wasn't on the new turbo & the old one didn't fit, Subaru don't list them & it was £40 odd for a 2" pipe! Other than that straight swap dead easy. Mark Oh & get new gaskets for uppipe & downpipe from Subaru. [Edited by MarkT - 12/12/2003 12:02:14 PM] |
Nice one Johnny - Christmas present for the car :-)
I assume you will have to have a re-map to get the most out of it. Where do you plan on going for the remap? I'm considering getting a TEKII fitted by Wallce in Aberdeen. Cheers Kenny |
You'll need to get an ECU mapped to this turbo, for safety as much as performance's sake. The VF34/35 flows considerably better and delivers a cooler (and hence denser) charge than the TD04 and so the standard ECU would probably underfuel.
You may be able to get a reasonably workable solution with a Dawes, but AFR meter and KnockLink would be necessities. If you want to take full advantage of the turbo, a remap would be a certainty, and you may also be talking fuel pump/injectors, maybe intercooler too. If you're talking about remapping an MY98 Kenny, a TeK isn't an option as these start from MY99 onwards. [Edited by greasemonkey - 12/12/2003 1:03:30 PM] |
Hi Mark.
Thats great. Thanks for that info. :) Not sure if the 34 + 35 are similar ?? I'll have a look around and see what i can dig up. I was told that it may be a pain to fit...thats why i'm posting to find out. All the pipes etc are on the turbo, so in that case it'll hopefully be a fairly uncomplicated swap. (yeah right) ;) I'll make sure i get new gaskets too. Thanks. :) Kenny...just been past your hoose mate..seen the scoob sitting outside. The car will be getting a remap to suit, as i've bought a gems ecu for it, so will be getting Steve Simpson to map it. Few other things going on too. fmic, 550's etc.... So xmas has come eraly for the scoob. :D Johnny |
Greasemonkey...
Sorry...took ages to write and you must've posted just before me.. Yeah, new intercooler will be going in. Also ordered a Walboro pump and a new fuel reg from Lateral Performance. And..as i said above, am getting the gems done just after. Thanks for your reply mate. :) |
Greasemonkey, thanks for the warning - I've got a MY00 - so I'll be fine fitting a tek II :-)
Johnny, car's off the road just now till I get a MOT, service and new brake pads - too much fun at knockhill this year :-) Where are you getting all your work done or is your mate doing it? |
Hey Kenny.
Aye, at the moment, Chris at Linton Services will be doing all the work. (except ecu). I'm hoping to get it all done mid-january. :D Then i'll see if i can catch ya at Knockhill. :) |
Nice one Johnny - looking forward to the challenge in the new year,
Have a Merry Christmas, Kenny |
|
Cheers Kenny.
Same to yourself and the family mate. :) Madou.. Thanks for the link matey. :) |
