Interchanging turbo housings


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

Has anyone had any experience with changing turbo housings in vf turbos.

 

I have a vf22 thats has too much end play. And i wondered if i would achieve anything by putting the vf22 p20 exhaust housing onto one of my good condition vf28s?

 

Is it possible?

 

Also would the compressor housing be interchangable as well? Or would that require wheel change?

It sounds like housings may swap over due to both being ball bearing turbos

 

Would i gain anything over a stock vf28 by putting the vf22 compressor housing onto the vf28?

 

Can anyone help?

 

I'm not sure that the compressor housings would swap over, isn't the 22 compressor wheel larger than the 28's? The resulting gap between the housing and the wheel would surely result in a loss of efficiency.

This is exactly what i am wanting to confirm. They do look a different design.

 

If they dont fit properly there is no point in doing it and having some half arsed mismatched thing.

It's in the thread linked above 

 

Its just a VF at the end of the day though 

Yep totally indrstand it is only a VF. Nut it fits my purpose. Not chasing big numbers. Id be happy with anything around 210kw but if i could get closer to 220kw that would be perfect.

 

Reason for vf22 was to gain a bit more top end power. But since i've found out it is stuffed, and i cant get a response from the guy who sold it too me, i am curious to know if there is any way i can use parts i have and still gain a bit of top end over the stock vf28.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
