zues marine Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 wondering if the turbo from an 87 gl 10 would be a good turbo to use in a build on my n/a 2.5L in my 95 legacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Too small to do much - the CFM of that turbo is pretty low. It will spool very quickly and give a boost to low-end torque, etc but it will likely run out of air-flow at higher RPM. A better choice would be a VF11 from a first-gen Legacy turbo or even a TD04 from a WRX. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight_of_pain Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 They are a bit small for the 1.8 they came on stock, much less a 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 They blow a lot of hot air at high boost / high RPM. I upgraded mine to a TD04L and it is much, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Would be great for a Justy, I think. Not so great for a 2.5ltr, which is twice a big. However, if you choose to go this route, be sure you have a good intercooler. If you keep your exhaust gas temperatures in check, then your low end would be great but your top end would probably suffer a little.
