Nah. You just grab the plug kit and cut the factory pins off and put compatible ones on. Or buy the little adaptor wire section that goes from the factory loom plug to the ID injectors.
So the stock v11 sti injectors are 65mm in length and these FIC 1000cc ones seem ok. The seller said theyre full length top feed injectors including the adaptor plugs for $400. Only thing is that I dont think many people have used the brand fuel injector connection before.

Another option I'm looking at which I'm very keen on is the Siemens deka 875cc top feed fuel injectors. I've heard people use them before and 875cc should be enough for 260kw? They're $250 barely used.

Lastly these Siemens Deka 80lb/h 875cc. The seller said they fit a v8 sti and the injectors look shorter but hes the bit to extend the injector. comes with everything new. I'm most likely keen to buy this or the 2nd option. What are your thoughts?
Sorry about all the questions

Pretty sure they won't be. Most guys getting their v11’s tuned with them max out before there. I changed to ID1050x’s for future proofing.
do the plugs on the ID1050x injectors connect to the loom without modifying?
-
Hey guys, Will v11 sti 565cc injectors be enough for 250-260kw atw? Or would it be better to go 1000cc injectors? Asking as I already have a set of v11 sti injectors so is it worth spending the money to upgrade?

Yeah it fits, try find one that came with throttle as the inlet is slightly different as there is no longer the IACV to deal with.
Getting a full later model one will also give you top feed TGV’s and rails and all that which can make things simpler. Someone was selling one on FB just yesterday fully dressed with everything.
I've found a v11 sti intake manifold. The throttle body looks to be electronic, can you confirm this? And would i use that sti loom or will my legacy loom connect properly?
-
Does anyone know if a v7-v11 sti manifold will fit a legacy bp5? If so I assume the electronic throttle body will be straight bolt on and function properly? And is there anything else I'd need? I'm installing a holset hx40 twisted setup and the manifold only just gets in the way.

Hi im going to fabricate front mount piping for my bp5. Does anyone know the measurements like length and bends of each alloy pipe etc as I'm going to buy some alloy pipes from nzkw to cut up. Thanks

same
Update: installed it yesterday. Fits and works perfectly without any modifying

Anyone know if the ej20 and ej25 5 speed manual have the same shifter? I'm buying a short throw shifter for my bp5 2.0L 5 speed but the item says "for 2.5L 5 speed". Thanks

I know its not necessary to install one on a legacy but thought I'd do it anyways. Has anyone done this before and if so can someone tell me how to install it as there are no videos for a legacy..

I assume he just wants you to just run a line straight from the comp cover port to the wastegate port to check it opens properly to hold 7ish psi.
i just switched to eco mode and it held 8psi perfectly so i guess my wastegate is functioning properly. Thanks for all your help

Yea getting a 3-port will remove all existing plumbing and allow the tuner to dial it in however he wants.
Around 14 is what the facelifts with this turbo are tuned for from the factory so it isn't excessive, if anything your original one was making alot less boost than it should have on the factory tune.
Hi sorry for asking so much questions. So I've checked all the lines and hoses and they're all fitted correctly. My tuner told me to do a gate pressure test before tuning just to make sure my wastegate functions properly. Have you ever done one of these? if so would I need to remove the turbo or can I test it while its in my car

14-15psi is about normal for those so wouldn't be worried. If you had the TD04 one set open slightly it would slow it building boost which may have meant you missed the quick boost peak they usually have.
Oh I see thanks so much so end of the day the tune should fix the issue? Just dont think its good that it boosts 14-15psi without a proper tune.

Sweet, that’ll be a 3-port then, almost all of the factory plumbing gets ditched when you do that.
Shouldn't be going to the BPV. Should go forwards under the manifold with the turbo inlet pipe to the factory solenoid, and then from there to a port on that inlet pipe.
Hard to say why it's boosting differently without seeing how it's plumbed up after that tee. How high is it actually boosting?
Could just be a restrictor pill in a line somewhere that isn't right for the new turbo but seems unlikely. Since it all gets ditched I wouldn't worry too much and just try keep boost down and check everything is tight in the mean time
Yea the line goes under the manifold then cant see after that. The first few boost i did with the vf45 it restricted it to 11psi like the tdo4 which is normal boost pressure. It went to about 14-15psi from 3 separate pulls then i just kept my boost low after that. Because the gate actuator isnt adjustable like my tdo4 maybe the actuator just set to a higher boost level from stock?
I'm thinking of using the restrictor pill from the tdo4 on the vf tomorrow so maybe it'll fix it. Otherwise if it doesnt fix I can just drive safely till my tune should be fine? And afterwards the 3-port would fix the issue as hes setting a new boost level anyways?

Nah that should be fine short term. Where is that line going? Is transaction from the VF or swapped over from the TD04?
Are you installing a 3-port solenoid when you get the tune done?
My tuner said hes putting on an electronic boost solenoid linked to the ecu. To be honest no idea where that line goes but im pretty sure it goes to the bov. It was previously connected to my tdo4 and has had no issues. The vf45 came with the hoses in the picture other than that I didnt change a thing on the car only the turbos so i reused all the other hoses and clamps etc

You mean it is left open to atmosphere currently?
i took that pic before i installed it. A line is connected onto the T nipple. so it seemed ok but should i have maybe clamped it down like the other hoses on the sides? If theyre leaking would that be the cause to my issue?
-

There will be something different with the way the wastegate vac lines are hooked up, worth checking over that before the tune. It should behave very similarly to the TD04 if hooked up correctly.
I didn't clamp or zip tie that T nipple. Would that be a possibility?

Probably still a better option than the subtech.
Yea the VF45 is twinscroll too. It's basically the same rough design to fit in the same spot, with the same exhaust components as the TD04 just with some minor differences as it is a different brand.
so I put in the vf45 turbo and it seems to be free boosting. I cant adjust the gate actuator either since it doesnt allow me to. Before my tdo4 was limiting to 11psi. I'm getting a tune next week so will it be ok if i just drive safe till then?

Not sure which is actually better. They're both much better than the auto specific vf38.
For the downpipe I reckon you’ll be better off with a HKS one which should be 3inch the whole way. Is it catted? What have you got for the exhaust after the downpipe? The stock one or something 3inch?
The hks has a hi flow cat. Im running a 3 inch all the way with hks es premium exhaust system. Midpipe is 1 resonator and then splits into a Y with 2 exhaust mufflers. Also is the vf45 a twin scroll? I dont know why but its hard to find information on it.

Hey guys I have a tdo4hla in my subaru legacy 04 2L manual. I have a spare vf45 in perfect condition and going for a tune next week so was wondering if the vf45 is a better turbo than the tdo4.
Also would you guys choose a 3 inch hks hi flow downpipe or a subtech 2.5 catless downpipe. Not sure which one to put for the tune as well.
Thanks

Fitment to the engine will be fine as the same style turbo and intake manifold are used but the shroud shape and dimensions will be all wrong for the Legacy hood scoop.
Oh thats good news. Yeah I thought the scoop would be directed wrong. Wouldn't it still flow air normally as before since the intercooler is still in the same location. Maybe if I cut the plastic off the inside of the scoop will help?
-
Hey guys, plan on buying this top mount intercooler but its for a wrx sgt 08-13. I'm pretty sure the sgt 08-13 and legacy bp5 2004+ are basically identical so it should fit. Can anyone confirm this? cheers.
-
Has anyone tried out this product before? They told me they were unsure it fit my legacy bp5 2004.

Whereabouts are you and when do you need it?
Auckland and within next 2 weeks
42 minutes ago, Andy_Mac said:Yea that looks right. Horrendous price though. How urgent is it? Could you wait a week or two from partsouq.com
@Gripless He’s in a Legacy so probably not the same TS gasket you might have sitting around.
Hey I couldnt find it on the website any chance you could link me it thanks

Nah they're definitely different. The one you need looks like this
Any idea where I could get one?
Would this be the one?

v11 sti injectors
in Legacy & Outback
Posted
just pump gas 98
would you know if v8 and v11 use the same injectors. If they do then i'll buy those ones
