td04 questions

[Subiel94]

I have a td04 i have everything I need but I wanted to replace the copper washers on the coolant and oil lines. Where do everyone here get them? I have everything except for those new washers. All help would be appreciative.

Tried a hardware store?

[Subiel94]

Yeah they don't have copper washers. I've looked at 3 automotive places and lowes and no luck.. Ik there prolly is a p/n but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Josh has the factory service manual with all the part numbers on his website: surrealmirage.com . I would look it up for you but i'm on my cell and it won't let me download it. It is something handy to have so i'd download it if i were you.

[BoostedSubie]

Also, i forgot to add, Ebay has kits that have them included for cheap.

[Subiel94]

Ah ok I'm gonna check out joshs website and then eBay. Thanks!

isnt the copper washers different sizes from the vf11 and the td04 tho?

[mike-tracy]

They use the same size fittings.

[Subiel94]

Well next to eachother they are different I can take pics. But for the stock vf11 they have a smaller od then the td04.

[mike-tracy]

I'm pretty sure I'm using vf-11 hardlines with my td04 but I could be mistaken. Why not take the bolt(s) to say Lowes or Ace hardware and match it with copper rings?

[Subiel94]

I would but that's the problem I can't find anything close to the same size... This is like the only thing I need left to do to my car to finish the swap...

[Subiel94]

well i bought a kit off ebay today. it came with a bunch of stuff i dont need it all but itll be nice to replace more things. i hope its not cheap crap. but it should do...

[BoostedSubie]

When i first did my swap i bought one of those kits and i've been using it for almost a year now, no problems. I've had my turbo on and off every other month too and reused the washers, still no leaks or problems. So, you should be fine.

[Subiel94]

Alright sweet thanks! That makes me feel a little bit better about buying the kit now. I got all the coolant lines with all the washers the turbo gaskets that connect to the exhaust. A stainless steel braided oil line and the oil return on the bottom of the turbo. All new i forget what they are called now but the bolts for the coolant and oil lines. I feel like I'm missing something. But there was a lot and it was only 55 that's including shipping. So I couldn't resist really. I'm anxious to get my car back running! Now all I need to do to finish is new valve cover gaskets, and I'm gonna do the silencer delete. Then All new coolant and do a oil change. and it will be all ready. Can't wait. I'm excited!

[Subiel94]

So I hooked it all up. Got rid of my turbo silencer. It sounds great! But I drove it and well I maxed the injectors and maf just driving it. I didn't know want was going on. So I putted home going 20.... Totally embarrassing. Then i noticed i didnt have my wastegate solenoid hooked up. So i Hooked it back up. But see my question is what do I do? I unhooked the battery and let it sit for about an hour hooked it back up and it idled rough and I drove it only meeting 5psi.... And it was driving real rich and crappy... So what should I do?

[BSOD2600]

How do you know you maxed out the MAF and injectors with out data logging?

[Subiel94]

Well I figured I did so that's why I unhooked the battery. And reset the ecu. They would be fixed now right?

[Subiel94]

It was running great up until it boosted that high.

[speedmaxx]

Got a link to the oil line u bought? I'm trying to find one fir my td04l

[Subiel94]

I got it on eBay from authentic boosting get the kit. It'll give you everything you need.

Is the check engine light on?

[TurnNburn]

i just did this swap. The lines are almost i idnetical. I mean there are slightly different bends but i used the stock vf-11 oil line and slapped that bad boy on the td04 ( I did not have the td04 line so i had to make it work, but it was seriously like 99% close enough). You do have to twist it a tiny bit to get it to fit I did not have to mod it in any way. I just used some 200 grit sand paper i had laying around and rubbed the washers a little bit so the mating surface would be clean. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am, no leaks.
