Gumball Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Looking through NASIOC forum i found a story with the photos below of a guy that modded his car and changed the turbos for larger ones and got to the point wher he had to use NOS to make up for the serious turbo lag he had on spool up due to the size of the thing. standard VF39, AVO500, 20G, fpgreen TD06, AVO600............................GARRETT GT40 !!!! crikey, thats huge *** 430wheel horse power/or about 537bhp-550bhp scotland wise at the flywheel****
Gumball Posted March 14, 2006 Author Posted March 14, 2006 that would clearly be where GEMS and antilag would be useful[]
Edinburgh-Chris Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 The turbo on the left is actually the exact one i am hoping to get installed in the summer! The guys doing the work are currently trying it out right now one of their cars, and trust me the actual size of th e thing is SCARY when its next to a standard TD05. Its a shame the thing will probably destroy everything else on my Scooby but these things happen! Chris

ANDYJDMSTI Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Am sure it was the GT42 i had my grubby mits on a couple of weeks ago..........now that was a HUGE turbo and beggars belief how it could be shoehorned under the bonnet!! []
Edinburgh-Chris Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 If it am not mistaken that turbo is a T3/T4 (T70) and it requires an external wastegate. The actual size of it when bolted to a EJ20 engine is just comedy to be honest! I am sure thats the same turbo my uncle Adam has bolted to his Saphire Cossie prior to selling it, and that ran 450Bhp easy. I can only imagine the the power that unit can deliver, Good bye cruel world!
st3ph3n Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 PFFFFFF. You want to see the trubo from a Cat 777 truck. About the size of something REALLY BIG.

ANDYJDMSTI Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 PFFFFFF. You want to see the trubo from a Cat 777 truck. About the size of something REALLY BIG. Think the thread is actually about big turbos that will bolt into cars []
ANDYJDMSTI Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Sounds like a challenge Andy! Does it???...............you crack on[]
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Some more useful info........ copied and pasted off the P1 owners forum IHI Turbos VF22 This turbo has the highest output potential of all of the IHI VF series turbos and is the best choice for those who are looking for loads of top end power. The top end power however, does not come without a cost. The VF22 spools significantly slower than the rest of the IHI models due to the larger P20 exhaust housing and is much less suited for daily driving than some of the other models. Although the largest VF series turbo, the VF22 is not quite optimal for stroked engines or those who wish to run more than 20PSI of boost. VF23 This turbo is considered a great all-around turbo. Like the VF22 it utilizes the largest P20 exhaust housing. This housing is mated with a smaller compressor housing of the of the VF24. This turbo is considered optimal in applications with range from mild to slightly wild. It does not have the same top end power of the VF22, but spools up significantly quicker. VF24 This turbo shares its compressor housing with the VF23 however, this housing is mated with a smaller (P18) exhaust side. The smaller characteristics of this turbo allow it to provide ample bottom end power and quick spool. This turbo is very popular for Imprezas with automatic transmissions and Group N rally cars. VF28 This turbo came standard on the STi Version 5. In terms of overall size, it is smaller than the VF22, VF30 and VF34, and about same size as the VF23. VF29 This Turbo is nearly identical to the VF24, with the same compressor and exhaust housings. However the compressor wheel in the VF29 is has been changed slightly. The changes made to the compressor wheel in this model are generally viewed as improvements, and as such this unit is typically chosen over the VF24. VF30 The VF30 is commonly considered the best bang for the buck turbo in the IHI VF series line. A relatively new model the VF30 features the same exhaust housing as the VF24 but a larger compressor side similar to the VF22. The combination of these two parts results in increased output potential without the lag associated with the VF22. Although it doesn't offer the top end supremacy of the VF22, the VF30 is a great compromise between these unit and the quicker spooling models. VF34 The VF34 is nearly identical to the VF30, with the same exhaust housing and compressor. However the VF34 goes back to the ball bearing design, and in doing so achieves full boost approximately 500RPM sooner than the comparable VF30. The VF34 is the most recent IHI design and as such costs slightly more than its counterpart. Top end performance and maximum output are identical to the 30. VF35 VF35 The VF35 has identical internals as the VF30 and it uses divided thrust bearings. However, the exhaust housing is a P15 which means this turbo will have fantastic spool characteristics. This turbo is standard on the new WRX Type RA. LIMITED SUPPLY. VF36 Roller bearing version of the twin scroll VF37, also has a titanium turbine and shaft for even quicker spool. Same compressor housing as VF30/34, however twin scroll P25 exhaust housing provides slightly better top end output due to reduced exhaust pulse interference. This turbo is good for 400HP and used on JDM STI Spec C from 2003 onwards. VF37 (thrust bearing) Enter the age of twin scroll IHI turbos. Same compressor housing as VF30/34, however has a new twin scroll P25 exhaust housing that provides slightly better top end output due to reduced exhaust pulse interference. Twin scroll also provides better spool up for improved low down response over the VF30/34. This turbo is good for 400HP and used on JDM STI from 2003 onwards. VF38 Twin scroll turbo with titanium turbine and shaft. Smaller compressor housing than VF36/VF37 provides tremendous spool up capabilities but less top end than VF36/37. The spool capabilities of this turbo are demonstrated on the JDM Legacy GT, which reaches peak torque at 2400RPM. VF39 Single scroll turbo used on USDM STI and latest 2.5L STIs released internationally. Smaller than VF30/VF34. VF42 Exclusive turbo to the S203/S204 models, this features a twin scroll design with a slightly larger compressor than the VF36/37 turbos and different turbine design (more blades). The VF42 is a roller-bearing turbo and is likely of similar size to the VF22 turbo, but with twin scroll exhaust housing for faster spool and superior top end performance due to reduced exhaust pulse interference so if i read it right the vf22 and vf34 are comparable in output,but the newer vf34 is less lagier in its performance and has not quite as much top end power
ANDYJDMSTI Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Great find Cal [] From reading that i have come to the conclusion that after the work i had done on my twin scroll it is now a hybrid mix of VF22 and VF37. Sweeeeeeet []
st3ph3n Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 I'm thinking I could take out the rear seats and mount this thing
ally-b Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 Nice filter on that turbo .[] Hope that chicken-wire ain't oiled , or it might fukkup the MAF [] Al.
