+1

Changing the Turbo should be a piece of cake. Real Simple job your car. Have a look through the For Sale Section for a replacement Turbo. Good chance for an Upgrade?

What else is wrong with it?

[Trex]

I\'ve done a lot to get if fix but that the moment it just the turbo buy the sounds of what I\'m told for a wof it just needs a few small thing and rust and the CPU is from the standard sti

VF22/P20 Housing? What\'s the CHRA Seat Diameter? 54mm?

[Trex]

ill have a look soon but most likely

If you want info I have a P20 I can measure tonight. CHRA seat is identical on VF22/23/24/28/29/34/36 with P18/20/25 maybe others but def not VF30/37 with their funny ones or VF35 with P16.

If turbos off just check in the inlet of turbine housing it will have the number.

all i can see on it is vf 22 970 the was the turbo spec\'s

[Trex]

ok give me a sec do you what one of the turbo or just the engine bay or both

[boon]

Why would you build a motor like that and then bolt a VF22 onto it

Everything and many as you can.

Agree logan. UK/US seems common to bolt VF22\'s and such onto 2.5\'s no f idea why.

[Trex]

quick boost that\'s why

Quick boost and severely limited where your engine is actually pumping serious air. Remember its an air pump after all.

Not hard to get 20psi out of a VF#anything circa 3.5k on 2.0 so idiotic engine choice for anything with more displacement. The turbine wheel is shit on IHI for making massive power it limits you to under 250wkw on a seriously good setup. Most make 230wkwish with maxed injectors around the 6k mark.

[Trex]

i guess with the stoker i guess it limits its over all capabilities but i rather got thought a turbo that my block

[Trex]

but the vf 22 has a hp rating around 400-450 if done right the the closest to it is the 34 but has the lag

I would bet if you bolted a decent turbo on it more matched to the engine it would make it more reliable and safe while making more power at lower boost/IAT/EGT/EGBP/stuff that matters. Also a tuneable ecu would be wise considering your engine is way out of wack for the stock sti ecu. May be safe but unless you bolt it to a dyno and check knock/afr you dont know for sure and wont be near max potential.

The power figures for the VF stuff on the internet are fairy tales. Ive run a VF28/22/23/36 all s/s all nice street turbos but not built for 400m stuff or big displacement. But any of those turbos should see you into a high 11 with mental driving.

400fwhp yes 450fwhp cant see it.
