pornodan Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 does anybody know what the turbos are on a 95 wrx saloon. (euro import) still havent got round to fitting z4 ecu . have been told i can only fit it if my turbo is a tdo5 as tdo4 will cause engine detonation. anyone able to shed some light. thks
Pele Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Think it may well be a tdo5 mate, im breaking a 95 wrx inport and it was on that !!!
pornodan Posted July 2, 2006 Author Posted July 2, 2006 thanks pele is there a code or number anywhere stamped on turbo telling you what model.
prodrive tony Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Should be on a flat spot on the turbo casting mate with it on there.
The Guru Posted July 7, 2006 Posted July 7, 2006 Basically the Euro imports are the same as a UK spec car ( give or take a bit ), the turbo on your car should be a TD04, unless it is an STI. I hope this helps! Arron.
pornodan Posted July 7, 2006 Author Posted July 7, 2006 bummer , does this mean im better off not fitting z4 ecu . dont want to blow anything up.
The Guru Posted July 8, 2006 Posted July 8, 2006 Dan, Firstly, the best thing to do is check what type of ECU you have in the car. I'm sure you know, It is located in the passenger foot well under the carpet, you will need to undo 4 of 5 10mm bolts and take off the metal foot plate. The ECU is located under this, then undo the small philips screws with the appropriate screw driver and look inside the ECU. You are looking for a piggy back board located on the face of the ecu, it will be approx 3" long and 2" wide. If you have one of those then all you need to do is get some new chips re-flashed with higher boost pressure ext. I hope this helps a bit, if you need anymore info JK is the man to speak to on the ECU. It is best to check your ECU first as it could save you a fair bit of money if you have the piggy back board! Arron.
pornodan Posted July 8, 2006 Author Posted July 8, 2006 arron thanks for your help m8. will check e.c.u monday and let you know how i got on. thanks again . dan
Wee Jock Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Basically the Euro imports are the same as a UK spec car ( give or take a bit ), the turbo on your car should be a TD04, unless it is an STI. I hope this helps! Arron. My 96 V-Ltd WRX came standard with a TD05! wee jock
tony_cousins Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Some do mate, I just broke a 95 wrx and that had a nice TD05 on it too
The Guru Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 If we are talking JDM imports then yes they do have a TD05 turbo. But if it is a EURO import which is different then they come with ( I think ) a TD04 turbo. Basically a euro import is the same as a uk car. Arron.
pornodan Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 i was told that a tdo4 spools at between 2000 - 2500, and the tdo5 spools at 3000. is this true , as mine spools at 3000
pornodan Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 standard e.c.u is a V7. pretty sure it hasnt been chipped , as car was completly standard when i bought it . only one previous owner and he was in hes 60's , not your average street racer...
The Guru Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Dan, What car have you actually got, is it a JDM import or a European import ( they are different ). Your original post says it is a Euro import, but your spool up sounds like a TD05 unit which is a JDM car ( jananese domestic market ). Arron.
pornodan Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 pretty sure car is a euro import , think it was imported from cyprus. dont think it is a jap as it hasnt got the tell tale signs like rear wiper/colour coded ect. may be a ltd edition or something as it has a sunroof as well as air con .(first scoob ive seen with sunroof)
HOL Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 pretty sure car is a euro import , think it was imported from cyprus. dont think it is a jap as it hasnt got the tell tale signs like rear wiper/colour coded ect. may be a ltd edition or something as it has a sunroof as well as air con .(first scoob ive seen with sunroof) I saw a TypeR with a sunroof, once (or Twice) [] Yours sounds like a Euro = TD04. That is nothing to worry about as an 05 can be had quite easily.
The Guru Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 If it is a Euro then it should have a TD04 ( unless it has been changed ). Arron.
pornodan Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 its a bit of a wierd car .had some mad interior as standard which lookrd like it came out of a mk3 escort. all wiring is same as uk spec . but dials are reversed. ie fuel is on the right and temp on the left. also has SUBARU badges across the boot which is uk, but has jap style WRX graphic . am well confused at the moment. looks like a cross between the two.
pornodan Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 will try and get some pics posted up. if that helps
The Guru Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Dan, If you are passing come round in the car and I will tell you what it is. I live in Frindsbury near Rochester. PM me your no and I will call you! Arron.
pornodan Posted July 12, 2006 Author Posted July 12, 2006 hi arron am in strood this afternoon so not far from you . if not 2day could arrange to pop round one evening ,(what ever is best for you). thanks m8 danny
