if i bought a td05 16/18g turbo that hasnt been converted who or where can i send it to be converted to front entry so it can fit my blob wrx

cheers

matt

 

Just sell it and buy a vf35.
Far cheaper

 

ive not bought one yet im just keeping my options open,i have seen td05 turbos for half the price of the vf series

ive got injectors/tgv deletes/fuel pump/3 port so just need a turbo and up-pipe now but no rush so doing a bit of research on different turbos before i make my mind up-it really all comes down to price/condition as all the turbos im looking at give near enough the same results

would like it before the end of january really but as said no rush

cheers

 

Did you say you had an sti engine??
As this should already have vf35,pinks and also wont have tgv either.
Also do the avcs heads work as the wrx didnt have these so not sure if the ecu would operate them.

 

its only the sti bottom end matey,basically the car threw its bottom end @ 58k back in 2008/9 and was sent to powerstation who fitted a brand new sti short block with cosworth oil pump and uprated head gaskets @ a cost of around £4k to the wrx heads,i have all the paperwork to prove this and i have spoken to powerstation about this to confirm it all,the engine is now on 95k so still a low mileage bottom end

the spec at the min is

sti bottom end

sti top mount (need the undertray as its running the smaller wrx undertray)

sti larger bonnet scoop

miltek de-cat 3" downpipe

3" de-cat center section

3" system with japspeed 3" bore backbox

cosworth panel filter

hks ssqv

std td04 turbo

ecutek map running 265bhp

i have waiting to fit

650cc injectors

255 LPH fuel pump

tgv deletes

3 port boost solenoid

all i need is a turbo/de-cat up-pipe/and maybe if i can find a cheap enough one is a front mount and sell my top mount

 

Ahhh that explains it.
Personally id still go for a vf35 though as the rest of the mods look good.

 

yeah that was the original plan anyway as to not put to much stress on my transmission,i guess im trying to penny pinch by looking for a td05 and it might not be the best idea

 

thats not true

i can convert them for £70 delivered back to you

with my ported headers also they can achieve around 350-360bhp with other supporting mods

last one i done with a set of my headers andy achieved 338bhp @1.35 bar with the turbo achieving 1.2 bar by 2700rpm

i also do 20g's billet and non billet

 

hhmmm interesting,definatly worth considering i think

 

when are you breaking your car tommy?

 

Found another i want, if we can do a deal on it i will have it and break my blob.

 

cant pm you for some reason,was gonna ask prices on a few parts

 

When and if have the other car and swapped over the bits i want to keep ill start a thread.
Due to the bits my current blob has i.e roof flap etc i have turned of pm and it will be first reply on breaking thread gets them.

 

ok mate

 

Here's mine for the daily driver wagon:

Chop original inlet off:





Then had someone weld it up:




TD05's offer stonking value IMO. For the price, they're hard to beat, and the kick in the back is amusing

 

yeah thats spot on

although much neater if u can lol

totaly rebuildable and upgradeable as and whenever u like , they are journal bearing and are laggy but tbh will take a fair whack of boost with an uprated thrust bearing and plate

 

how much are you looking at to convert a td05 16g to 20g cast wheel and billet wheel ?

pm if you prefer ,

thanks

 

No it's not.

vf35 = £280 plus
tdo5 16g = £50-80 + £100 for it machined to fit

ps, PM Dynamix on here mate he will point you in the right direction for it modding

 

Shrekster , if you need a front entry , drop me a pm
I've got one spare I've already converted , you can either post me you're 90 entry or pop up and I'll exchange housings for ya for £0

There you go sorted

 

Can an 18g be converted to billet?

 

You're doing some festive brown patch licking toneh

Nice to see it though

 

Lol ,Sorry it's my schizophrenia , don't worry I'll be back to being an obnoxious a***hole tomorrow

 

i havent got one matey so i would have to buy one and give it you exchange which isnt a problem,how many miles has it done and is there any smoke on boost/play in shaft/cracks etc?

 

Wouldn`t mind knowing that too

 

also if i did get a 16g what sort of cost is it to rebuild one and where/who can do it?

 

You just swap compressor housings mate not the whole turbo

 

Me too, I would like to go that route. 16G - 20G
Is it possible to keep it top entry as well as i've still got V2 inlet manifold?

 

Doubt there's a top entry 20g cover available, but you can use a 90 degree silicone hose to achieve the required shape. Oh and you'd also need a hose joiner of course.

 

the conversion i can have done either way from front to top or vice versa

silicone hose is a bad idea as it can collapse under vacuum

 

I know its been a year since you've been on here, but do you still offer this?
