TD04 Conversion

[stup86]

Hi,

I've recently been looking into the TD04 conversion. Seen all the manifolds, downpipes etc from WEPR (any good?) and the turbos aren't too hard to get hold of.

Now before I even think about buying any of this stuff, what should I do engine wise to ensure everything is running right.

At the moment its all standard.

I'm after a basic list list of things that will need to be changed/uprated for the conversion.

you will need a decent fuel setup.

so at a minimum thats a uprated fuel pump, bigger injectors (330s or bigger, depending on what power youre after) rrfpr and a piggyback. if you got the money get a stand alone unit.

you may aswell get a fmic while youre at it.

and depending on how much boost youre running id suggest some forged pistons.

then a good tune.

thatll all cost you 1500-2000 quid.

also, as a side note, do not get wepr stuff, it is shoddy at best.

if you want a td04 mani, get one from dale at braidedlines.

I've never heard anything bad about WEPR systems. Am I missing something?

A few of his manni's have cracked. However, a lot of variables are involved.

Stainless has better flow characteristics, but holds heat longer than mild and is not good with expansion.

Mine has been on for well over a year and neither the manifold or downpipe have cracks.

I did invest in TRD engine mounts and an engine brace before hand thou.

As above thou mate, fueling is the main thing.
