VF37 Twin-scroll Complete Turbo Setup - STI Spec C

I have an excellent condition IHI VF37 turbo (complete) and all accompanying items: header, up-pipe, all gaskets, OEM down-pipe (upper section only), aftermarket Kinugawa twin-scroll down-pipe with all gaskets (Brand New), a used Samco silicone inlet, and an AEM short ram intake.

Also comes with a cat-back SRS exhaust.

This is a STI Spec C setup. The Kinugawa down-pipe is about an 1 1/2 shorter than USDM length (pic of it sitting next to an Invidia bell mouth).

Everything is in excellent condition or is NEW. Generally, this turbo is considered very similar in power to the other STI VF series turbos but has excellent spool and helps put some torque to the wheels.

Looking for $1,300. NOT SEPERATING. Some trades considered: DSS 6-speed axles, Killer B anything, or 1400+ CC injectors.

Argh, I love twin scroll turbos and am very tempted...except it would probably make the same power and my stcok vf48 and spool might only be marginally better. Still, twin scroll ftw!

 

Never hurts to have an extra sweet turbo set-up around...

Thanks for the love !

 

imo a vf37 is to small for a 2.5

 

Interesting...I was planning to mate it up with a 257 for my rally-x project; I figured it would pair well for short course runs.

 

Don't get me wrong it will spool very well and quick but I just think it would run out of breath on the 2.5 before making much power.

 

Yup

Not worth the cost. Stick to a stock sti turbo or so.

 

Well, in that case...for anyone NOT already running a usdm STI turbo, this should still beca fun an excellent setup.

 

I will vouch for it being a wonderful daily driver turbo for a 2.0 I have this setup and have run it for 4 years both on e85 and 93

 

Throw this on your brz! haha Twinscroll DI just like the new WRX

 

Would have to run to much boost to make any power. By the time I would start to make power on the brz with this I would be endangering the pistons on the brz. I'm holding out for them to get superchargers working right on the brz

 

Forgive my ignorance but why do you say that? It seems like this turbo would be very comparable to a supercharger...its twinscroll so should build boost very early and it could be tuned to only make 7-10psi to be safe.

Sorry for blowing up this sale thread. We should really take this discussion elsewhere!

 

I think the discussion on this is great. Twinscroll JDM turbos are somewhat rare and they are an interesting setup, so I think the discussion is well merited.

 

I pm'd him about it. But from my understanding is it is a heat issue why these small turbos can't make low boost power on the brz. They are having a simat issue with the superchargers

 

From my limited knowledge of turbos and compressor maps, I thought heat was only a problem when you try to make too much boost on a small turbo. When the compressor is out of its efficiency range it has to spin wayyy too fast to keep up the high pressure and ends up just heating up the intake charge.
From what I read, the only problem with low boost is it might be hard to control accurately with the way the stock internal wastegate is set up.
Maybe Nuke can chime in?

 

For example, the twinscroll turbo in my 335i is very small for the engine (probably very similar size to this VF37) and on the stock ecu map boost is limited to 8-9psi and it is perfectly fine! It spools to full boost by 1200rpm which is pretty much supercharger territory.

 

I could be incorrect but yes. Perhaps nuke will enlighten us. Either way would be setup with ewg on my brz

 

This description is exactly why I chose this turbo to mate up to my rally-x project, early spooling and boost! I wasn't after top end, but as much low end grunt and mid range power that I could get out of a reasonably priced turbo set up.

 

Lol get a td04

Weaker wastegate on small turbo will keep it more effecient at lower boost.

 

Do you mean for my rally-x goals? Remember I'm not continuing with the project, so I'm curious if you meant for my rally-x goal?

 

twin scroll ftw also off topic

but can i get the gold sticker off the back of my old black wagon =) lol

 

Sorry chief, I didn't know that was your old car...and that sticker peeled off all the paint underneath when it "came off"...

 

DAMNIT oh well.. thats a sticky sticker!

 

Bump it up. This is a great and fun setup and everything is like new.

Who needs more boost?

 

Price drop to $1150.

Someone wants twinscroll powah!!

 

Let's give this one more try before I go national.

How about $1,000.00 for the whole set up, and $800.00 without the cat back...

Thanks!!

 

this turbo setup is good for quick delivery of power. On my buddies 04 WRX on 19lbs it made 290whp and 280wtq. spooled about 500rpm sooner than the 39 he had on it and made power more consistently. glws

 

Thanks! I was looking forward to running this turbo on my rallyx project

 

This is sold! Lookimg forward to hearing how it works out in it's new home!
