Starbo Moorley Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 So ive got a vf30 thats going on my forged 4e, (standard head and inlet mani) and i was wondering if anyone knew much about them (max boost ?) and what i should expet power wise? cant find much if any info on how itll perform on a 4e so thought id ask here.

AdamB Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Just done a quick search over on TGTT and found that it is laggier than the vf24, but if you bolt on a VF35 turbine housing you can reduce the lag. Check here for more info on the VF series turbo's, last post.http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?82370-IHI-VF22-30-34-vs-TD05-20G&highlight=vf30 Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Basicly its gonna be a tad laggy lol.Cheers pal never thought too look on there, will hopefully have it all ready for mapping next month so will see how it goes, regardes boost levels i guess ill have to stick with 1.4-.5 ba.

AdamB Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 No probs mate.I'm assuming because its a journal bearing turbo rather than ball bearing it will be slightly more laggier anyway. Not sure in terms of boost how much can be run comparing between the two bearing types. Just keep going until it stops making power I suppose lol. Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Thats what i plan to do bud, can see standard inlet manifold being a restriction though. Quote
AdamB Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah prob will be mate, should see 350hp on that turbo though. Quote
AdamB Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 You'll most likely be maxing the turbo at 350 though. Quote
Corey Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) I'm running a vf34 pretty much the same turbo but spools a bit better because of the ball bearing setup probably 250rpms difference so not to bad. Your looking at 4750 full boost so it is a bit lazy not gonna lie. I'm running the 34 at 25psi goes really well I must say. People say not to run them over 20psi but I never had any issues over two years. They are a strange turbo though wont give you the kick like the td05's they come in gradually its like being in a really fast n/a car so probably get less wheel spin because of the way they come on boost.

Starbo Moorley Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Ahhh sounds good mate ! Got any power figures Corey ? Quote
Corey Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I dont dude never got a chance before I left to canada. Would love to see some figures on them tbh. I know Ted on tgtt ran a 35 at 1.5 which has the smaller exhaust housing made 315 iirc. So these with the bigger p18 exhaust housing and more boost should be making nice figures. If you wanted to get more power you could run a vf22 p20 housing way more top end but would increase the lag. Edited February 13, 2013 by Corey Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Id love a 22 but got the 30 for now; just working on a 3 inch downpipe and exhaust and mayve some xustom intercooler piping too then will see what she makes. Quote
Corey Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I meant putting the vf22 exhaust housing on the vf30 if you wanted a bit more out of it Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Cant find msny vf turbo parts on ebay :/ plenty of td05 turbos and parts though, even though they are suspiciously cheap ! Quote
LeeG Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I've got a mint vf22 turbo of yer needing one. Quote
_shaun_ Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 bean runs a vf35 on his ep85 if memory serves correct Quote
melon Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 my 30 was laggy but good fun give me a shout if you still need parts... Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 my 30 was laggy but good fun give me a shout if you still need parts...What spec engine were you running ? Any figures ? What boost you run ? Quote
melon Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Forged 4e running 1.3-1.4. No figures sorry dude... literally bolted it on for a run up the drive a few times before a map then my ecu spat its dummy out and plans changed Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Lol nutter, looks like ill just have too wait abd see then. Quote
melon Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Lol nutter, looks like ill just have too wait abd see then. Let me know if you dont like it, got a 34 for sale Quote
AdamB Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The VF34 would be a better option as its a ball bearing type rather than journal bearing. Will spool faster and allow more boost safely Quote
Starbuck Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Don't be making Dean any busier than he needs to be..... Slag. LOL Quote
