savage bulldogs Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi n welcome to soc . Nice looking classic you've got there , fella [emoji106] the model code of the silver plate under the bonnet cross referenced with the list in jays link ,is the best way to identity what version and model you've got . If it's got a facelift dash (white dials) and a rear wash wiper it's probably a jdm v4 . If it's got intercooler water spray buttons on the dash and the silver tmic / red inlet it's probably a v4 sti . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 thanks mate, yeah its definitely a version 4sti, i dont know why i put v3 above. how much am i looking at 2 upgrade the turbo on it? and what one you recommend? and guessing i would need to remap it with the new turbo what do u think about a dyno test?

savage bulldogs Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Tbo I'm unsure If yours has got a tdo5 or vf 22 either way both will see you to about 340 hp (with a remap and supporting mods) That's about the (reliable) limit of the classic drivetrain anyways. I always do a oil and filter change prior to going on a dyno. imo a good dyno operator will check over prior to the run and listen to det cans during it (cutting the run short if it's not running right) So i think it's safer that flooring it down a slip lane . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 spend some time getting to know your car as is - there is a lot more to be had than just bolting a bigger turbo on, decide what you want from the car and look to make changes off the back of that - you can spend £1000 on a brake upgrade alone (albeit you will stop on a 2p). The forum has some excellent classic project threads, both Matt and Savage are prime examples of choice upgrades. Bolting on a bigger turbo in isolation may just end up in a short term gain followed by a complete engine rebuild. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 thanks mate i definitely wouldnt do that i would always get advice before i touch the engine, i know how risky it would be expecially with a car its age. im not wanting to get as much as i can out of it, i like it how it is but this is all for future reference if i do want to change a few bits. i want to upgrade the brakes as its a fast car and i want greater stopping power. always loved brembos since i was a kid but like the look of the godspeed set up its running a td04 turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It shouldn't be running a tdo4 that is only normally fitted to wrx's and uk turbo's . Has it got 4 pot front/2 pot rear calipers ? Braided lines are worth having (if you haven't got them already) as they improve pedal feel and maybe a "brake stopper" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 really? thats strange, its definitely a td04. so that shouldnt be on an sti? what difference does it make? should i change it to a td05? would it even fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 and will find out about the brakes, dont know off hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 spoke 2 previous owner again and he said hes not 100% sure what turbo it is so dont quote him on it but thought it was a td04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 When mapped with surporting mods Standard Tdo4's are good for 290hp ish . Tdo5's 16 g's are good for 350 hp mark. Tdo5's a straight swap but any change in turbo model or injector size will need to be mapped in What colour are the injectors ? Yellows 440cc (340 hp) Greys 380cc (290 hp ) Did you check the model code 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 what do you class as standard mods? im not at home and the car is not with me so i will get that info tomorrow and get back to you bud, really do appreciate your help btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quit Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Basics like fuel pump , panel filter , 3 port post solenoid , good plugs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Sorry when I said "standard" I ment the turbo as there's a few andy forest hybrid Tdo4's out there that will spool quick and break the 300 hp barrier . And by surporting mods I mean as matt's listed above plus free flowing exhaust system, headers and upipe . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Gc8e4ed and yellow injectors :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Seems the shells a v4 sti due to the model code and having the yellows point's to a sti engine. Hopefully it's just had a turbo switch although, other than cost , I don't see why you'd fit a smaller turbo . Check on the cold side of the turbo there should be a code like Tdo4 HL or tdo5 HL . What other mods has it got Ecu , boost gauge, zorst , dump valve ect ? Standard ecu's can't be mapped on the v3/v4 so here's a few options (cheapest first )to google . Esl daughter board Apexi Simtec Alcertek (simtec updated) Syvecs If it is a tdo4 I'd look for something like a front entry tdo5 or vf 35 and fit that before the expensive of re mapping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyall7 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yeah its not got a standard ECU, it can be remapped, couldnt tell you which make it is though. decat exhaust, got a boost gauge and uprated dump valve. not the greatest with cars so my apologies but slowly learning stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
