Pooparu Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I'm having a problem located an ea turbo for my loyal, but I do have someone who has an early ej turbo available. How easy is it for me to make it fit on my motor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Which EJ turbo? The older EJ IHI turbos are a bit different than the Mitsu turbos. Any turbo will fit if you want it bad enough. I have a TD04 from a WRX on my EA82. But it required modding the uppipe, a new exhaust and different IC piping (or plenum pipes if you aren't using an IC - which I do not recommend). Some pics of my TD04 project are in my galley, as well as some of Russ' TD04 pics. Oh yeah... Moving to retrofitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 It's an older legacy turbo. (thanks for moving my thread into the right spot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 the older IHI turbos use the same DP flange as the Mitsus, so you would still need the WRX/legacySS downpipe, or at least the flange. The turbo outlet is larger as well. The uppipe flange.. Man, for the life of me I can't remember if it is the old style or new style. Both are very similar.

calebz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Just remembered. I have a couple EA series turbos laying around. Interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have at least one here. I think I have another at the office. I'll go in there tonight, pull it and see which one looks better. Both were pulled from running cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 The VF11 (Leg unit) shares flanges with the TD04. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 on the origonal note you have to drill out one of the holes larger and do some creative piping to put a vf11 on but it pretty straight forward edit: whoops, you need different down pipe flanges, the stock upipe will work with a little drilling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 any word on that turbo? I can only find the one in my garage. I know I have 1-2 more floating around somewhere. The one I have is good though. However, all the oil and water lines have been removed. - Some for my TD04 swap, and one for a GT35R on an STi :-p. If you have the existing turbo on your car still, the lines will swap right over.

After numerous test fits, I endid up welding the TD04 flange right to the top of the stock flange. Worked flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 oh man, I just gave away my old turbo 2 nights ago. Let me know if you can find or put together a turbo with all the lines or if you know where I can find lines. I think I'm going to bag the ej turbo idea. It sounds like more trouble than I'm willing to deal with right now. Thanks for all the info though. I can only find the one in my garage. I know I have 1-2 more floating around somewhere.

calebz Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Doh! I'll see if I can find a set of lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno what numbers it will produce though. Never put mine on a dyno. I just kept beating on it until it blew Thats what spare motors are for. Do all you can to get more fuel when boosting. A hobbs switch with a 5th injector might be a good idea if you are going to continue on with the stock ECU Look in my gallery and search my username, there is a lot of TD04 discussion that has taken place.

calebz Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Argh. Nothing yet. Trying to get ahold of a local guy that might have a spare turbo laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
