Bugeye WRX turbo upgrades


Recommended Posts

Hey guys

 

Been having a good browse on forums and speaking to some really helpful people on NASIOC regarding turbos for my V7 WRX.

 

I was hoping that some others in NZ could provide some insight on their own turbo upgrades. Anyone done any turbo upgrades on V7 WRX? I was going to get a VF30 but I have been made aware of the TD05-16G turbo, and I quite like the look of those. Any other great turbos to get me around the 300bhp range with 565cc Pink injectors, Walbro 255 fuel pump and STI TMIC?

 

Also, does anyone have a VF30 or TD05-16G for sale?

 

Cheers!

Get a VF30 or a VF34 if you can find one and call it done. The TD05's and stuff that the American's have a massive boner for are dinosaur turbos and a waste of time, even if you pay stupid money for one with billet wheels and sundry other magic beans sprinkled over it.

 

EDIT: There are virtually nil stock-location upgrades that don't start with VF that are worth doing.

I have a 2002 Version 8 WRX.

 

I first replaced the TD04HL to a TD05-16G - it wasn't a straight swap. The car was also retuned and it made a lazy 175kw. Lazy.  It was not a great experience. When on boost, it felt OK. Off boost, it sucked. Avoid.

 

I replaced the TD05 with a VF30, retuned, 196kw - a WAY more responsive car. I'm so happy with it.

 

I've also upgraded from the WRX Blue injectors to STi Pink injectors, a STI manifold, that does not have the TGV valves, STi intercooler and a decatted factoy downpipe.

 

I believe I'm getting limited by the flow of the WRX heads, but I'm not chasing power

 

Also  - I avg 11l per 100k daily driving and about 9.8l per 100k on the open road.

      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
