ok what should i get i got to act fast on the vf34 becuse the guy will get rid of it.

vf34 or tdo5h-16g i dont care if i got to make a 90 on the vf34, i have to clock it and it can be clocked very easy. what one will make fast spool up and crazy fast.

The 16g will be an easier bolt on, but iirc, the VF34 should be able to produce higher raw power #'s.

I'd go with the 34. It will spool up faster I believe. I dont' know about top end, but I think it will do at least as well as the TD05.

the guy who owns the turbo siad it came off a 2002 wrx? is he right. didnt wrx have tdo4l on there cars or he means he upgraded to this turbo and he drives a 2002wrx wagon.

yeah the stock 02 wrx has a td04.

so i am getting this turbo wish me luck guys, 650 cash and its comeing home on tuesday with me. it will be on this friday if i find a nice silcon 90 elbow. then i can boost my motor with easy and with the sti injectors and my greddy e-manage, lm1, i have in it right now i will be one fast ej22t impreza.

next thing i got to get is a light fly wheel and strong clutch, does anyone one now if i can use a 2.0l wrx raceing clutch and the wrx light fly wheel? also what clutch should i get that will hold alot of power? an be nice for everyday use.

after i get all that stuff in, it will take 2 weeks then its the heads i am going after for better power. then i can rest and the car is done.

now thats alot of work but it looks good.

i all ready have lots of room, i bent my up-pipe back a bit, an i have made a new braket that holds the turbo to the motor this was a while back but i can still go just a little bit more with out distrupting anything with lines.

Can the 34 be clocked to fit the leg turbo set up

azn2nr · Post by **azn2nr** » Tue Jan 10, 2006 12:56 am

yes and no.

its possible to clock the turbo but custom mounting the wastegate will need to be done as well as a elbow just like the one magic mike posted.

if you clock it youll overheat your motor witout an intercooler

I was hesistant to clock mine sinse I paid 1k for it and wasnt really sure that I could do it successfully. The only problem I ran into was the resirculation valve thing that bolts to the intake manifold. I had to cut off the plastic part of the connector and just solder the wires right to the valve and make a plug on a little pigtail. I then just used a radiator hose that had a really good 90° bend on it.

Missed Magicmike's pics--duh.

The fmic was custom made to fit the vf11, so it would be one step easier to use a turbo with the appropriate clocking.

Rotating the outlet on the 34 looks like it would interfere with waste gate controller. Or is this not the case?

Leaving it horizontal would require an extra 90 degree bend to get it to the first pipe to the fmic.

i have a question for everyone, there is a guy that told me once the v34 blows up you cant rebuild it, is he on crack.

i got a kit for my vf11 and my dad rebuilt it right at home is that guy full of shit or what.

azn2nr · Post by **azn2nr** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 7:55 pm

from all ive seen you can NOT rebuild the vf34. i could be wrong though

NICO · Post by **NICO** » Wed Jan 11, 2006 10:40 pm

so if i cant rebuild this turbo i should not even get it right will it blow up. will a tdo5h-16g blow up and can it be rebuilt from my house.

this is

free5ty1e · Post by **free5ty1e** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 1:00 am

I'd definately consider re-buildability a factor in turbo selection.

Subtle · Post by **Subtle** » Thu Jan 12, 2006 6:32 am

The 34 has ball bearings--why couldn't it be rebuilt by a reputable shop

NICO · Post by **NICO** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 1:25 am

well i got the turbo its mint condition good deal, now i clocked the houseing for my front mount set up and it all good even with the wastegate actuater.

now i got to get a rubber 90 elbow for the inlet of the turbo. i cant find one in canada. should i just weld on a 90?

Subtle · Post by **Subtle** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 7:05 am

Congrats on the install and thanks for the info

How do you even function?

None of your posts have any kind of sentence structure or regard for grammar, they don't make ANY sense.

What level of education have you completed?

free5ty1e · Post by **free5ty1e** » Fri Jan 13, 2006 3:01 pm

Nico,

If you still need a rubber elbow for your install:

http://amazonhose.com/

You should be able to order what you need there.

Welding a 90* bend onto your turbo inlet...? Do you have heliarc equipment? Otherwise, I think standard welding just destroys aluminum. Or is your turbo inlet not aluminum?

I'd go for the rubber/silicon solution.

LaureltheQueen: do you want to go out some time? dinner, movie, rally, its your pick. I know you could just spend some time teaching me, it would be fun. you could help me out with grammar, structure, regard, we could share some red or white wine together which ever you prefer of course. all this time an I had no clue there was a sexy lady reading my posts.

free5ty1e: no i have a guy that welds aluminium, the rubber i need is hard to find i will look at trying to get it from that web site you gave me thank you.

Subtle: yes its a clock turbo, so we can do anything.

Leave the poor guy alone, he probably went to an American school.

I can understand him fine anyway.
