    stock subaru td05/vf34/vf35 vs hybrid/big td05 16g/18g

    in Intake, Turbo & Exhaust

    Posted · Edited by gorganl2000

    now i've been doing some research over the last few weeks trying to find some answers and though i've gathered some useful info there are still some gray areas. i'm hoping you guys can assist who have experience with these turbos on our 4e/5e.



    i'm considering this possible upgrade, that's why im asking.....the 20g is not an option



    my questions are:


    - its there a significant difference in terms of overall WHP and torque produced between the stock mhi/ihi units (td05 16g, vf/28/30/34/35/39/43/48/52) versus the upgraded/high-flow/billet wheel td05 16g/18g (arashi, blouch,kamak,kinugawa), greddy t517z, evo3 16g, big 16g.


    its hard to find flow rates for ihi turbos, but it seems the stock units above flow about 34/36 lb/min making them possibly 340/360bhp units on maybe a 2000cc sized engine, on our cars we may fall a bit short.



    these upgrades are supposed to be rated at 39-43 lb/min depending on choice so that's possibly 390-430bhp approximately



    what actual power/torque have you been able to produce and at what boost?----i've checked the power board, but it doesn't really say whether the td05 is stock or upgrade unit



    - is there a noticeable lag/rpm/spool/response difference between these upgraded units over the stock units



    - would the member who have ran both stock and upgraded units advice that its a worthwhile upgrade bearing power/torque/price in mind.




    any comments and information provided is welcomed.



    PS - i've done a search on here and found some info, but its a little challenging to get the search narrowed down to save time


    AN EBC THAT ACTUALLY WORKS PROPERLY PLEASE ??!!

    i'm going to recommend something a bit different from everyone so far


    i've used this for about 6 years now...it's easy to install, set up and is very stable. its a well built unit with a ton of features (just like some of the above)



    i've had my fair share of trying to help friends set up blitz, greddy, apexi, etc...but this is my choice and i never regretted it

    click the details, applications tabs to get some brief info



    comes in 60 and 66mm sizes in various color combinations

    i used the red/black "speaker wire" to run from the hearing aid to the stud ring/mic


    never had any noise/electrical interference using it



    i secure it to a 12/14mm bolt hole at the front of the head, just about midway

    i built a set based on 2 forums


    http://www.d-series.org/forums/diy-forum/95756-diy-electronic-detonation-detection-det-cans-under-25-dollars.html


    i followed this site, except i ended up placing the mic into a stud ring so i could secure it to the engine more securely


    as shown in the second link

    i used epoxy to stick it in the stud ring



    works greats and cheap to build

    4efe and 5efe gearbox swapping!

    in Drivetrain & Transmission

    all the parts should be there to do a swap over assuming both cars are complete



    i did an automatic to manual conversion on my glanza ep91 years ago...i know there was something electrical that needed to be bridged to get the car to start and 3 holes had to be drilled to fit the clutch master cylinder to the firewall



    the rest was simple swapping over of parts



    see what the other members say....there should be a guide on here or ttgt about doing the swap....try searching

    i've seen experiences/results to what you have said


    many different hybrid tdo4s on the market, ---the same for hybrid ct9s,,,,some show improvements over the stock units, while others not so much


    are the improvements over stock units worth the price of these hybrids?!?! that's for the buyer to decide after their research and based on their budget



    it all starts to get a bit technical when you go messing with the compressor wheel, you install a bigger one to increase flow),,,, then get some surge/spike and taper, then you go messing with exhaust/turbine wheel and porting the exhaust housing/wastegate to counter...then you get some lag


    some turbo builders manage to strike a balance, but keep their secrets close as would be expected,,,,,others not so much



    with the range of stock turbos out there nowadays, one can almost find an affordable turbo to match their needs without having to buy/build a hybrid, especially if you have already garrett/mhi/TD series exhaust manifold on your ep82/91

    the hybrid td04 may suffer from boost creep at high boost and then taper off in the higher rpm


    depending on how well your hybrid td04 is built and your boost controller's ability, you maybe able to get it to work



    however, i'd suggest you follow ramses advice, as he has ran a lot of those/similar turbos on the past and recorded the data


    coil on plug ? is it worth it ?

    from all i've read and seen (even on 4e/5efte set up) the COP seems great once done properly....just as stu said



    however, i've also seen that the stock ignition system will do a pretty good job for the average car owner with the typical mods up to about 300/350bhp....just make sure that all your ignition wiring, components and connections are in top condition



    some of the problems people have are related to the "aged" ignition components the cars have on, some of them over 20 years old....so an ignition refresh could yield wonders

    the oem/genuine stock clutch has been used to run some relatively powerful cars in the past,,,however, people usually combined it with an uprated pressure plate


    this was to improve dirvability without going to an all out race/performance set up


    once you are not abusing it constantly it will hold up for a while




    if you have the money, its better to get a proper clutch set up to match your needs, plus the prices have become more affordable nowadays

    slave cylinder or master

    for the slave cylinder, you can pull back the rubber over it and see if you see any fluid leaking into that rubber or to the outside


    you could also get someone press the clutch pedal and see if the piston in the slave cylinder slowly loses pressure and goes back into the housing



    has your master cylinder fluid level dropped?


    is the clutch fluid in the master cylinder black?----the rubber maybe corroding and darkening the reservoir fluid
