Pretty cool car. And I hate ford! lol

I have two VF11s I don't need.

Where are you located?

Sorry location updated in profile, im in New britain CT, how much would you want for the VF11s ? and do they have the adapter for the inlet?

Adapter? The 90 degree inlet? Yes they do. I'm unsure of the milage on them. I believe one has like 200K miles and the other I don't know, Jake15 would know, it came from him. I think it might have like 175K on it though.

Do you want one or both? I don't want much for them. Maybe $40 each you pay shipping. Or if you wanted both I'll sell you both of them for $60 plus shipping.

How are they both as far as shaft play? I'm definately interested PM me

bump!

hey mate nice car, had much gearbox problems? im in new zealand and these are called ford laser gtxs not as common as the mazda familia gtx/gtrs we have, always wanted a gtx but the boxs put me off buying 1

I wish we got the laser TX3s that you guys got, just for the AWD, but yes i have grenaded 2 gear boxes already in 6 months of having the turbo setup, I now have a low mile unit in that has been trouble free...

You could get one and run the Celica GT4 box if you are willing to invest the $$$

I hate ford too, but very cool! you must piss off alot of ricers, huh?

Just to make sure, you do know that the VF-11 has a clocked compressor outlet that exits up at a 45* angle, correct? It's different than any other Subaru turbo.

can i clock it? Honestly what i have seen done as far as the hybrid is VJ20/VF10.... Is there that much of a difference btweeen 10/11?

Yes...there is a significant difference between a VF10 and a VF11

Yes, mainly to do with the outlet. This is what the VF11 looks like (painted black) with the outlet:



This is what the VF10, VF8, VF12, early JDM TD04 or early JDM TD05 would look like:




The angles that the pictures were taken are a bit different, but you can still see the difference in how the turbos are clocked. So basically, you need to determine whether or not a VF11 with the 45* outlet will work for you, as opposed to any other early Subaru turbo with the 90* outlet.

Ok now i see, im definately gonna need VF10!

Just in case. Here's the pictures of the two I have. One is pretty dirty. Both do have some side to side shaft play but neither seem to have any in and out play. I think one has less side to side play than the other.
















asc_up - Which VF11 is that? It doesn't have the bolt on inlet like all the ones I've seen and both the ones I have right now.

That's not a VF11 -- that's a TD05-16G that Deadbolt tried to clock to the same angle as a VF11. Obviously they didn't get that one quite right.

Yeah, definitely not a VF11, but I just needed to find a picture for him that showed how different the two turbos are.

Man, I sorta miss the days when I had my '95 Escort in Cayman green. I was responsible for the custom intake made from one designed for a 2nd Gen Eclipse and the polished valve cover which used Testor's Model Paint to detail the raised lettering & the Ford logo.

It was also was used in car stereo competitions using:
- old school Rockford Fosgate Punch 200 amp
- two 18" RF Punch subs
- Kenwood Excelon componet speakers
- Kenwood Excelon 75x4 amp
- two 1 farad RF capacitors
- RF 2AWG power and ground wire
- RF power distribution components
- Alpine IVA-1000 audio/video headunit
- Alpine 12disc CD changer
- Sony Playstation 2
- 12volt power inverter

My son lusts after your cars. He, also, is an Escort nut. My personal preferance goes to 91escortGTs car. Tastefully done using stock Ford exterior peices. Looks like a tuned, maybe one off factory tuned car. Not something that shouts out LOOK AT ME! but gives enough clues that there is more going on to raise an eyebrow or two of those in the know on performance cars.

Dropdfocus: I wish I could find the Rod Millen Grille... they're getting impossible now!

Redlined::
I'm happy you like it, I've never been one for huge rims, body kits, other general rice lol... I hate to say it but my car has basically a JDM Domestic look lol... The funniest part is, 99% of my boys have hondas , and my FORD has more JDM parts in it than they have.

Sadly tho, this car is going to the scrapper, Cancer is bringing her to an early grave (193k on the chassis and the floor board and strut towers are rotting badly... 2 holes in the floor already)

But I bought a 93 Escort GT with 54k for $100 with a blown tranny... so the beast lives on, just now in white
