Well I have an 02 wrx that is stage 2 with 90k miles on it and tuned by wall of tvs. It runs and drives great, I just want more power. So I have a few questions for those that know more then me. I know the big question you all want to know from me is what do I want out of my car.. Well I like the midrange power, the on ramp to freeway speeds acceleration, and then some. I do not care that much about top end I am interested in the midrange mostly. 1. what turbo should I go with? 2. what injectors should I get? 3. what fuel pump? 4. what TMIC should I get? 5. is there anything else I should get for supportin mods? As you post up suggestions if you have good websites that I can do some research on and or where to buy this stuff that would be great to. I am not sure when I will be doing this upgrade, it all depends on the money. Just starting to do the research. Thanks everyone. Bill
Sounds like a vf34/39 or a 16g is up your alley. ~700cc modded stock injectors standard Walbro fuel pump ebay big tmic gm bcs
what is the difference between the vf34/39 or 16g? ball bearings? or just the amount of air it can move? (cfm I think)
vf34 is ball bearing, vf39 (stock sti turbo) is not. Both flow approx the same cfms but the general consensus is that the vf34 spools a bit faster. The small td05-16g has a bit higher flow rating (re: more top end) but seems to spool just as fast. Then there's the evoIII and super16g variants that have larger compressor wheels and give more top end in exchange for a bit slower spool. However it seems that on the used market, 16g turbos typically go for higher prices. I guess it really depends on how much $$$ you want to spend.
yeah, so what of it... obviously the less I have to spend the better. but when I decide to do the upgrade I will make sure I have the money to do the right upgrade, not just one I can afford at the time even if it takes longer to do it.
isnt that the point of everyone who mods... trying to keep up with thsoe around... then someone goes bigger and everyones like me too me too...
I would shop for a 39. I was looking for one for about a month till I found a really good deal on one. Heck I threw my car together really cheap. Used Vf39 ($220 Shipped) Ported turbo (free) Modded injectors ($100) TGV Delete (Free) Ebay FMIC ($300) Ebay turbo inlet ($120) GM Boost sensor ($40) Tunning ($400) Fuel Pump ($89) Exahust ($300) And I netted 270Whp out of that. And I would like to add a EWG, meth, and a better tune. Hopefully I can get 300 WHP out of the little vf.
yeah I wasnt having a go at ya... was just highlighting the pointlessness of trying to keep up with the guy next to you... which unfortunately most guys do just to be the 'IN' crowd.... I say mod the way you want*.. if you like it thats great... *unless its a honda or neon riced out... ha ha hah
I always liked the TD05-16 in my yellow car. It spooled very fast, was capable of ~270-290 whp on the right car, could hold 19 psi pretty well. I think its a good match for the 2.0L
Yeah, Kevin's magical 39 pwned almost all. I don't want to know what will happen once he grows a mullet.
The little vf that could. Almost all. You must have for got the time I beat Dream. He saw the flashers.
his car was just fast that night, he did not know why..... lol my td04 that wanted to did not do to bad....
It did feel fast. It probably cause I hadn't let it come out and play for two weeks. Plus its probably nervous thinking I wont take it out once the camaro is done.
