shorty Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Yea they are all the same mate, and would be around 200ish quid in the uk brand dependant. And as long as you mean oil pump seal not an oil pump as a new pump in the uk is around 120 quid where as the seal is aroun 8 quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 The bearing shells are different to a 4E mate as they are different journal diameters. Make sure you get 5E bearings!The bearings over here can be picked up for around £110, the oil pump seal am not sure on but can't see it being too much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wicked stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 HELP NEEDED so we kept the car out or boost for 2 days as we had to let the rings get a little accustom to being used... i know they wont be seated properly for another couple weeks of leisurely driving ... but being us you can not drive a fully built 5e tdo4 slowly ... so we decided to press just to see how it was pulling.... and duntanana..... NOTHING.... i am at the moment driving a 100% naturally aspirated forged 5e weve checked for leaks we've replaced the waste gate.... weve checked all hoses..... NATHINGGGGG..... i wana cry.... we think the turbo is shot there is a weird rattle noise from the exhaust/maybe turbo and the blower seems to be spinning kinda wonky i think i need a new turbo..... wondering if when the car blew up it threw pieces of the piston into the turbo and it went kaboom on meit was definitely working before the car parked up an now ZERO BOOST.... luckily the mechanic my partner said if it is that he'll buy the turbo because he knows it was working when it went into his shop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 would a forester turbo be a direct swap for the td04 i have?and whats the difference between the sti turbo and wrx turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 be carefully driving dont want old turbo bits floating round the oil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 changed the oil twice since the build its only been on the rd 12 hrs now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 (edited) oki ive located a forester turbo as well as a bug-eye sti turbo.... obviously the sti turbo is the better of the two but it is slightly bigger .... which would be more sensible with my application? all i want out the car is 250ish bhp with out stoopid amounts of lag all other mods are as followswalbro fuel pumpaeromotive fuel pressure regfull custom exhaustfully forged and ported 5EFTEfront mount intercoolerwould the extra displacement make up in lag response if i use the sti turbo??

maddox710 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 250bhp would be easily had from td04 on 5e with less lag than 4e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 i know that lol... what im asking is the sti turbo laggier than the wrx as its slightly bigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 so ive gone ahead and got me a vf39 sti turbo (FFF-RRRREEEEEE).... so took the turbo money and bought a tial 38 mm waste gate with v clamps instead of the bolt on kit... it was all they had at the time.... how hard is using the v clams??? ive never used this type before ive always got the plated oneswill get pics up later as its all going on the car tonight ..... im bouncing off the walls im so excited ......time for BOOOOST Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Not used v clamps myself. But grant has em on his kit and the seal is savage! Cant go far wrong with v band dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Never a good day with this car so we were setting up the turbo to put on the car spun it and was putting the front back on... it was a little hard to do so and in his laziness the mechanic decided to use the press to get the turbo back onto the casing and broke a brand new turbo .... I'm livid ... I mean he gave it to me free but still now I've got to source a dam turbo .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) its officially finished fully forged and bored out 1.5 5efthe starlet witha tomei dual ball bearing td04 and custom made exhaust manifold externally waste gated with a 38 mm tial... powered and manged by a full stand alone emerald ecu with launch control..... took it for a drive last night and all i can say is WTF HOLLY SHIT.... 277HP TO THE WHEELS after we fit the lsd running 18lbs of boost.... i got all my whiteline EVERYbars on as well so its sitting as flat as it will ever sit round the bendsI am still in complete shock right now as to how its moving and more so how that wastegate sounds when it opens.... it was absolutely one hundred percent worth the 10 month wait and the billion dollars it cost me to ship the necessary parts from the uk to the caribbean..... any body even second guessing the 5e block dont its worth it... forging it is costly but i dont think u understand the crazyness that im enjoying right now will get videos up soon Edited September 4, 2013 by rasslenny Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darraghmh91 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 What cams have you got :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rasslenny Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 to be honest im not quite sure they are not the stock ones i know that... they came out of a rally starlet with a 5e in it... so it could be the 5e, 5efhe, or some special cams who knows they guys who helped me source the engine said just make sure and use the cams in the head they gave me as they were better than the stock 4e ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
