It should not be too complicated.

But i'm pretty sure it's TD05 waste gate he bought because it's very similar to the original one.. and bolts were perfect.

Mitsubishi might provide replacement parts for their turbos.

in a Turbo shop ;) here in quebec city, it's called "Turbo-Expert", they specialise in rebuilding/upgrading turbos for cars / trucks / etc... there is probably one in you area, since there is a lot of turbos in diesel trucks.. :) they might be able to help you. If not, just tell me and we'...

I took my VF11 and TD04 to a turbo specialist, to have an idea of their condition. He told me "The VF11 has a real bad habit of cracking on the turbine houssing..." and after a quick look at mine (140 000km), we saw that is was all cracked. So... take a look at this ! hehe it may not be a ...

The TD05 on the pics has a new wastegate actuator yes. The spring in the old one was too loose, and was barely able to provide 12psi of boost.. :\

yup, the 340-like Cfm of the Vf11 is just not enought I want 18psi to the redline a 7500rpm

i got mine for 300$ USD too. 10 000km on it (but.. looks brand new).

Same as subject, does someone live near Irvine, CA. ? (it's in the L.A. area i think)

thanx

i took some "As precises as i could" measurements of the piston / con rod / pin tonight..

you may find this usefull.

Yup, sorry, collar is how my french->english dictionary translate "Collet"

The crankcase and "valve case" vents output in the box just in front of the turbo.. so it can be normal to find a bit on oil in the compressor side of the turbo, or the intake tubes after the turbo. If you see oil outside of them, then my first bet would be a failing/broken / loosened cola...

I,ve asked the question on the RsLibertyClub Forum of australia, and a great majority of them swap their heads for bucket heads. You can read it.. ok the topic slipped a bit at the end, but there is some pretty interesting info at the beginning ;) http://www.rslibertyclub.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=...

Impose your law !


nice piece of information ! need a precisely measured piston however :\

Tappet is how they call the tiny thing that you see on the top of every valves... These heads were later changed because they were making a lot of noise when aging, causing problems... http://images5.fotki.com/v52/photos/1/17179/574022/1616173_IMGLarge-vi.jpg Later Heads had "Buckets", a c...

:oops: :oops: :oops: :? Oups, ok i've spoken too fast.. and forgot about some concerns i now "take for granted" for my personnal "case". shame on me, please don't be too hard on the shovel when you'll hit me.. hehe it's true, any DOHC head convertion will require a lot of other t...

For 350$CAD i've got a set of DOHC Legacy B4 heads that flow pretty well, and are used stock at 7500rpm. (you need to swap intake manifold too.. but that's no big deal)

Stock 2.2l turbo heads + Rebuilding and upgrade costs could probably get higher than that ! hehe

That's my way of thinking.

Thanx for the good links !

NGK recommend moving 1 step colder for each 70-100Hp you add to your engine

Look closely, all subaru blocks has this inscription.

Right between the Power steering pump and the alternator, on the engine block itself, there is a code casted in the metal indicating the engine type ... Look straight where the arrow point on the picture, you'll see a "plug" with a wire.. above it is where the tag is located. it should rea...

they had EJ20G, closed deck 2.0l with "tappet" heads.

Ok, Richard Marsan replied something i was expecting .. In short, he don't want to answer, for legal reasons (he don't want me to sue him if my stuff break). But sais that Turbo pistons are a lot stronger that 2.2na pistons. He concludes saying "I wouldn't take risk", doing reference to us...

humm, absolutely no ideas, but be carefull with that ej20g appelation... seems to be used for a lot of different engines :\ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~1amiga/ej2o.htm As for me, i've found a set of Legacy B4 TT heads... rated 7500rpm :twisted: and i have a set of Ej20G heads (Leg turbo JDM, with '...

I've written a mail to Richard Marsan, the national manager of the quality assurance dept. at subaru canada about this piston concern... eager to see what he'll reply ! :) also, on Subaruglobal, there is a bit of infos on the "new" pistons vs the old ones. Follow the 'piston' link from thi...

the 2.2l na pistons has a cost that is not really advantageous (?) compared to forged pistons (110$CAD x4 + 250$CAD (ring set) )

I'm waiting for availability and prices for 22b pistons and ringset.. (8:1 cr with dohc heads)
