Hey folks, I can't find any vendor forum here, I don't wanna get in trouble for posting business ads but we have some stuff for the Legacy Turbos. I will not mention products, services, or prices until I hear that it is OK. Anybody got a link to vendor rules/policy?

Thanks!

EDIT: Our prices and services are listed below.

Parts shed maybe? Maybe DLC or Legacy777 could comment.

Mark,

We've had a couple of vendors on here before offering us their products. I can't remember any of them being met with anything other than interest.

This board doesn't rely on vendor sponsors to keep running the way NASIOC does, which I think is the main reason NASIOC has a separate "vendor" member class.

Of course, it's good to get a green light from an admin or mod but as long as you're being polite and honest (which you are, by explaining that you're a vendor) I personally can't see why we wouldn't want to hear as much as we can about your products for our cars.

And if your screenname indicates who you are, you are a reputible vendor in my book, and I would love to hear what sort of offerings you have for the old Legacies...

yes sell the 16g's so some fool like me can scrounge up a used vf11 ;D

I have had inquiries from a few different vendors but not enough to warrant a forum for vendors exclusively. I don't mind vendors mentioning their products in threads, as long as it's done tastefully.

Until i have a "genuine" vendor who posts to the board and has enough products to warrant a forum, i think i'll keep it how it is.

You do offer the 16G with the 90 degree inlet too, right? I think I remember seeing that on an auction on Ebay you had.

vrg3 · Post by **vrg3** » Sun Apr 04, 2004 7:57 pm

Yeah, tell us about your products, services, and prices.

DLC, thanks!

We are still a small business since we try to cater to specific markets, so I doubt you will see too much advertising from us. If you do see something you don't like please let me know immediately and I will take care of it.

Here is a list of our services / products:
(Prices do not include shipping)
Standard Rebuild - IHI RHB style turbo - $250.00
IHI RHB rebuild kit for the do-it-yourselfer - $119.00

We also port the Legacy RHB turbos, which gives about the same results as our Monster Port on the WRX turbos, a little better spool, better midrange, better response, etc. $195.00

We sell brand new WARRANTIED TD05-16G turbos with 90 degree inlet. We can also add Legacy style fitment coolant supply lines and oil return line. Prices start at $799.00 for the standard TD05-16G with all lines, we can also port it or add ceramic coating as well.

We have a fully functioning ceramic coating facility here onsite. Here is an example of our ceramic coatings on one of our TD05-16G's that has been modified to straight inlet:

IN PROGRESS:
We are also investigating an option to offer the TD05 turbo with an 18G wheel, and/or a TD06 turbine wheel.

We are investigating modifying the TD04 turbocharger for use with 90 degree inlet tubing for those who do not wish to run really high boost but would like an increase over what is already there.

We are investigating fuel rail and fuel injector upgrades.

We are hopefully going to be releasing upgrade kits for the older US Spec Legacy Turbos which would include a 90 degree inlet turbo with option of TD04 or TD05 as well as an intercooler and mounting brackets.

Feel free to check out our website or email us at deadbolt@aol.com with any questions.

how much is a wastegate actuator for a TD05H 16G? I bought a 95 STI TD05 from the U.K for 150 USD shipped but it came with no wastegate so I need to get one. Also, what is the recommended mileage between rebuilds? The one I bought has 60K miles on it. Is it good for some time or should it be rebuit? Shaft spins freely and there is no wobble. Anything I should check over?

Mark,

evolutionmovement · Post by **evolutionmovement** » Sun Apr 04, 2004 9:40 pm

I have a few questions/suggestions. How about a parallel fuel mod kit for the turbo engines?

Also I have a stock Legacy turbo VF-10 that I was thinking about doing the 'T'Bird' mod hybrid mod where the compressor of the '87-88 T-bird is added to the Legacy's exhaust. Would I be able to send that in for porting and check? Would it be a better idea just to have the standard turbo ported and polished? At some point I will get a better turbo, but I'm looking for around 250-280 HP with excellent driveability but would eventually like to be able to make 300 even if I don't use it (I like to use components under their limits when possible). The car will also have a air-water intercooler.

Mark,

I have a used one that I can sell for $45.00 shipped within the lower 48 states. I do not have an extra E-clip for it however, you can get that at advance or even a Subaru store for about 50 cents.

As far as a recommended rebuild interval, there really is not one, I have seen turbos go over 100K on the original turbo, and I have also seen them go "belly up" in as little as 10K. If there is no sign of oil on the turbine or oil in the compressor housing discharge area, and there is not much play in the rotational assembly, and no damage to either the turbine or compressor housing you are probably OK.

I actually had someone mention the fuel rails in an email earlier so I am going to do some investigating on that as well. I have rebuilt a few of the TBird turbos, there does not seem to be a dramatic difference in the compressor wheels, I wouldn't think you would get a tremendous amount more power with that. We can put a wheel in the turbo that would be bigger than your current wheel and do a rebuild while we are in there.

Post by **DLC** » Mon Apr 05, 2004 12:53 am

I have a spare RHB52 turbo that i purchased with the express intent of having rebuilt to swap out the current unit i have.

I would be interested in a price for a rebuild, porting and ceramic coating. Any reasonable upgrades would be taken into consideration as well, e.g. larger compressor wheels, etc...

My travels through the web suggest that there is virtually no gain to be had from the "thunderbird hybrid" mod...

Swell. Saves me some aggravation and money.

Emails are broken this morning, we can read incoming but not reply, so if you sent us an email after 7:00 EST last night, we will reply as soon as this thing is fixed. Sorry for any inconvenience.

OK it is Sunday now and everything appears to be OK (or at least for the next few hours

)

THAWA · Post by **THAWA** » Sun Apr 11, 2004 5:23 pm

Some questions.
How much is the Ceramic coating?
About how long does the coating take?
Do you have any data on performance benefits?
Do you sell rebuilt or used vf10/11's?

DeadboltEnterprises · Thu Apr 22, 2004 12:05 pm

Sorry for the delayed response, we weren't aware the thread was moved, we thought it had been deleted.

The ceramic coating is as follows:

Exhaust housings - Black Xtreme(TM) - $75
Compressor housing - Grey - $45

Turnaround time is 3-5 days for coating only

We have some generic data at www.deadboltspeed.com/ceramic.htm however nothing from a dyno

We do not keep VF10's or 11's in stock usually, however we might be getting one in within the next few days.

I have a VF-30 with a cracked exhaust housing. What would it run to replace that housing?Everything else appears to be in usable condition, but you never know until you guys have it in hand. But let's assume for now, it is just the housing...

Hmm... used VF30 exhaust housings can be hard to find. I may have something here that would work. If you can send me pics of the crack we may be able to repair it for ya. Our email is deadbolt@aol.com

Matt Monson · Post by **Matt Monson** » Fri Apr 23, 2004 7:15 pm

The crack is near the wastegate. I will try and get some pics and send them to you early next week...
