so the internals on a 2.5 wrx arent good for 350ahwp??? i can get another turbo to make that power i just want the engine to hold that power.. im ready to buy i just dont want to do somethin that will cause a kaboom...still deciding on a turbo to make the 350 tho i can do the fuel and all that no biggie i need a turbo to make it
awesome thanx...as far as the tranny 350awhp yay or nay or if not what do i need to do besides the clutch....
hate to be a pain in the arse but what does everyone recommend for a solid 350awhp alil more is always good with out to much mods for the turbo (when i say that i mean as close to direct bolt in as possible like the VF's, ball bearing is prefered, i just want a good turbo at around 15-20psi make me the power i want close to 400 is also ok i just dont want to push any part of the car to blowing up, minor upgrades im cool with. im also aware of the stuff that is needed to do the turbo, as far as tbe, Fpump, injectors, tune, but ### else) thanks everyone i know it gets annoying asked the same questions i just dont get the exact answers i want when i search trust me i have been doin over a month of research...
and a 20G is a decent turbo? what modifications will i need to fit this turbo, besides the obvious...and any sites sell decent priced 18 and 20G?s whats roughly the start spool on them
Note: You never see true power numbers on a dyno because the Intercooler (especially a TMIC) is not running at the same efficiency as it would on the street. After a few pulls and some tuning, the intercooler is usually heat soaked. I don't care how many fans they put in front of it, it's not the same air flow as the street.
So, is 350 awhp on a stock 2.0 with VF22 possible? I think so, with race gas. But you might never see a dyno sheet.
hey, ive been asking around, ive asked cobb, and havent had a clear answer. How much hp can my internals and heads and everything handle, safely. I was lookin at gettin a 20g, front mount, ill need a bigger pump and possibly injectors. I should be able to handle that with a nice tune right?
I know this thread was a LONG time ago, but I have an MY06 wrx and I've just picked up a dirt cheap, practically new Vf22, I was just wondering, what did you decide in the end? How did it go?
I am sure you may see better numbers with E85. I am debating whether or not to pick up a VF myself. My biggest stink is I don't want to upgrade my injectors so 16g/18g/20g are not an option for me. Was considering a VF48 and getting a rebuild + PnP + billet wheel by these guys - http://6starspeed.com/suwrihirhbic.html
Haven't seen numbers with this type of set up yet, though.
Similar thing happened to me, thought it was my browser? But then I edited my post and re-pasted the link and it corrected itself? And I do not plan on running E85 just yet, wanting to avoid upgrading my injectors remember
I am surprised as well, maybe the larger vendors just think it's a waste of resources and R&D for such a small set up. Although, Blouch used to sell the TD04-19T. One consistent thing I do read on NABISCO is that most feel the VF's are useless on a 2.5L as an "upgrade" and the next step is to slap on an 18g/20g even for a daily driver.
Very few of us who like to throw money away pushing tiny snails to their limits. There is a reason why I had a "bastard 20g" (20g cartridge in 14b housing) for such a long time in my GSX. I am not looking for a highway monster, or high HP numbers. I would be happy to crack 300awhp.
That TD04 that Blouch rebuilds is a Mitsu turbo and not a VF turbo. VF turbo's suck period, they suck for these cars and any other car they put them on. Just step up to a nice 18g for a 2.0L and 20g for a 2.5L.
^ LOL see! Pretty sure with though that the TD04 upgrade was to the compressor wheel as it was ported/clipped and PnP job. Folks sent their TD04 in and got their turbo rebuilt back as the 19T. Pretty sure TD04 is MHI to begin with...
Blouch are good turbos, but in the end if you don't the money for a rebuild yet, I'd highly recommend sticking with something on the smaller side until you get a build motor. 20g would be idea for getting a good amount of power out of the 2.5L. If your in a bind for cash and can get a VF22 for cheap that's fine, just don't expect much out of it
Cheers mate. I'm hoping I won't be too disappointed in the build, as I'm going from stock to the vf22, with 3"tbe, bigger tmic and fuel pump... Surely I will notice a considerable difference from stock... But no doubt I'll get bored with any setup eventually.
I personally run a TDO6, but my rev range is a lot higher than yours will be. I'd stick with a TDO5 20g. Blouch sells one as do several other companies. I don't in endorse one company over another as I kind of cheat when it comes to turbos...
p.s. I wish I lived in Australia for the record. Much better cars there.
Really? Aussie cars are better? Well that's good to know. You guys sure have a lot cheaper resources, so far as parts and quantity of tuners... I'm actually getting an Etune from a lad in the states, as I can't find anybody who does open source here.
Currently no mods, except I did the sec. air pump delete.
I have a VF22, TurboXS tbe, walbro fuel pump and 08-10 STI tmic. Sticking with stock intake at this stage
All these are waiting for me to get a basemap so I can do the build.
I'm also talking with a guy regarding a boost solenoid / controller... My tuner is yet to get back to me regarding whether I need this or not, he's pretty slack on the Emails.
With pretty extensive modification they can be forced to fit. Found a guy who did it on nasisuck
