Minde Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Hi, I'm new to the chat and might not know much but I'm looking for a subaru sti TD05 16g or 18g turbo in good condition! If anyone has one laying around please let me know... I'm located in London. thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Must be a early sti ? They did different fitment for different years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minde Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yes they did, that's my problem I'm not too good with subaru's. I need it to be a 3 hole bolt on into the manifold that's about all I know :/ from what I've seen its from the earlier models... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Which version is it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minde Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 That's the one I'm looking for just in good condition... But I'd prefer it to be 16g or 18g trying to avoid getting the 20g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Looks front entry ?? @savage bulldogs ?? Might be top entry if it is front entry converted why you down grading from a vf28 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minde Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 This turbo will be going on my mx5... Just can't seem to find one and I don't know much more than I've told you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 What turbo is on it at the moment and what year is it , bud ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I didn't see the mx5 post on there doh . If it's a stock single scroll turbo it will have the 3 bolt flange on the bottom . The only difference on a stock tdo5 16g subaru turbo is the intake side , some are top entry and some are front entry (like in your pic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Td04 is direct fit I think for mx5 conversion on the ones I seen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Have a word with Doug @ G19 engineering , he does the mx5 turbo conversions for a living . If your just after a tdo5 16g that will physically fit then any front entry oe impreza tdo5 16g will do the job . It's only the aftermarket tdo5's that come in 18 and 20 g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thought that would blow the socks off a little 1.6 head gasket !! My mate had a td04 on a mx5 was pretty funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 turbo looks like a lot of carbon build up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minde Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks for the help guys, but yeah I want this turbo for the lag and it's a straight fit with my custom manifold, i will be getting just over 300bhp out of the little thing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Interesting cars the mx5 ! Not my cup of tea but good luck ! I'm not a fan of the td05 I'm much more a vf fan ! Think a vf28 would work well on a little 5, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
