Hi all.

been swaping my tdo4 for a td05 today on my bugeye wrx, fitted the td05 and started to rebuild, come to fit the water cooling pipes and theyre too small! the banjo bolts are too small for the threads on the turbo, if i was to fit bigger banjo bolts they the wouldnt fit through the water pipes!

Grrr was told its a staright swap with no probs, need sort it asap its being mapped nxt weekend.



How do you go around this, is there an adapter or replacement pipes and banjo's???

am goin to try pirtek monday see if they have a solution, any info or advise will be apreciated


HELP!

 

I feel for you mate, this happened to me. The guy i bought the turbo off ebay said he was posting it WITH the pipes...but suprise suprise when it got here they had magically disapeared. TD05's ARE a straight swop if the seller is kind enough to sell you the coolant pipes with it too!!

anyway, if you go on ebay, JAWarehouse they sell kits on there. ebay number 320179275039. ALTHOUGH - they are not brilliant, they dont fit perfect, but they did the job for me. and for only 15 notes not bad.

Other than that, try some breakers etc. hope that is some help mate.

 

cheers mate, yes was sold this as a 'ready to fit' turbo its well annoying , if knew this would be a issue would have replaced the pipes first.

just found that jaw warehouse tho takes 5-9 days posting its got to be mapped nxt weekend

 

anyone no where i camn get a water pipe kit for a td05>? cant find one anywhere apart from ebay

 

anyone???????? no luck with andy f

 

Think might be onto a winner a local place i used a lot when did the turbo conversion on my saxo are a goodridge stockists and open at 7.30am so going there before work to hopefully get new coolent pipes and fittings made

the website has loads of fittings pipes etc, will be useful in the future!
heres the website >Oakbray - Goodridge Hose & Fittings

 

failing that ring howard at hdc subaru, he sorted me some out 01422 846868

 

Just ran across the same problem with my TD05, anyone have the thread/pitch for the TD05 coolant banjos?

Thanks,
Ryan

 

Looks like I'm in the same boat - BUMP

 

if you got the banjo bolts for td05 can you just open up td04 coolant pipes so the bigger bolts fitthrough them, banjo bolts should be easier to get in a hurry than the pipes

 

RCM sell them - got a set recently : Roger Clark Motorsport - Home
