vf22 on a forester?

[Guest]

Can it be done and would u do it?

[driftrex]

should be a direct bolt on upgrade.

[dubbedup]

yes - I'd upgrade...

[nt_a_foz]

youd want to upgrade the ecu, afm and injcetors with sti stuff also though

[Guest boostcut]

just pull the wastegate actuator hose off. youl be fine....

+1

but it should bolt in without problem

[Guest]

would it be harsh on it at all

[Guest SPANKU]

well i dont see any problem with it. i see people replace their td04 with a Td05 all the time. the vf22 is like the td05. i dont see why there will be any problem. but you should get a ecu, afm and injectors to take full advantage of the vf22. they work really well over 14psi

[Guest itsgotgo]

I replaced my tdo4l with a vf 28 but did the ecu inj afm......massive difference.

vf22 with the rest of the gear would be preety good if the vf28 is anything to go by

[Guest]

only manual version though right?

We have a gay auto.

Prob wont be worth it running the auto. But then its all electrics etc in the Auto, so with a little trickery you may be able to do the whole ecu injectors afm and turbo swap.

[Guest itsgotgo]

lol auto sti......plenty on tarde me

Maybe the manual conversion then the sti goodness rossmnz

[Guest]

its not worth the effort. I drive it maybe once a week. Its my mrs' car!!

If ecu, injectors and turbo were straight bolt on bolt off with no ecu probs then maybe.

Im doubtful so no go!

Actually there's auto box from a fozy that i heard, is pretty dam strong, probably stronger than a 5 speed box, I think it was a comment from crunchie in a performance car magazine tech tips, some time ago, he made mention of it.

[Guest]

i think more to the point is that the sti ecu to run the yellows, afm and vf22 wouldnt run the auto?

[Guest itsgotgo]

I would think so,dont think anyone here has tryed it

Unless someone has a wiring diagram and the know how to make it work 8)

[Guest]

When I did my manual conversion there was a separate ecu for the auto box and the S/TB ecu that Will gave me works fine so it might just work just plugging in the STi ecu etc

[Guest]

what bout vf 30 or a vf 33?

[Guest dcornie]

i have a vf30 on mine

[Guest itsgotgo]

I think you all need to realise that bigger turbo and standard grey inj and ecu and afm will be endangering your engines,

I know big daves has had the upgrade,but who else?

[Guest]

yes, havent we been discussing the yellow, AFM and ecu upgrades for the last page????

Am i missing something???

Sorry i digressed by introducing autos into the equation!!

so what if u do all that stuff afm injectors etc would the engine run fine and be ok?

This is the mystery, seeing Ross's mrs foz is auto its unsure seeing everyone that has done the conversion either already has the yellows etc or does the whole shebang.

But my thinking is seeing the STB ecu worked on my car fine the STi one should in theory work. But if I was Ross I prob wouldnt want to risk upwards of a grand in parts to find out if it would (unless his awesomeness extends to selling on parts for a profit )

yes itl be fine

but if you dont do that stuff and just slap a turbo on it wont be ok no doubt
