Re: WRX wierd *** turbo flanges
Im a ------ tard
Search function for the win
it came off a 02 WRX , TDo4L
http://www.uniquemotorsports.com/pro...IHI_flange.htm
I was looking at a CT12C and the guy I am building the GRM civic with found this WRX turbo in his garage...
I think it should work well on a D16Z6
I swapped the suspension last week (new Konis , coilovers , a-arms , camber kit)
gonna drop some new bearings in the Z6 and run the factory WRX wastegate at 14... I don't think it should blow..
Guys on GRM.com think the car probably weighs in at under 2000lbs....should be a rocket ship

Re: WRX wierd *** turbo flanges
i used that same turbo on my Integra LS which is a tank compared to a gutted hatch and i think its pretty quick for a tiny turbo, check out the link in my sig, i got a ripper vid and pics of the adapter plate i made to go from a T3 flange to a IHI flange

Re: WRX wierd *** turbo flanges
That's a pretty small turbo for the original wrx ej20t platform, should do ok though on a little d-series budget build. FYI the compressor is maxed around 17psi, and I don't think the stock actuator is set for 14, probably lower. On the '04 WRX my fiance and I own the ecu controls the actuator through a solenoid, and max pressure on that is around 15psi tops.

Re: WRX wierd *** turbo flanges
Got my HF manifold last week...
hook me up with the adaptor!!!
I am going ot build the motor with Vitara's and Eagle rods , cometic gasket and new bearings...gonna leave the head alone except soem ARP studs..
I know the turbo is a wee bit small ,but this thing is brand new!!!
Feel like a dumbass having sold a IHI VF40 from an STI a year ago , and a LEgacy GT turbo....
I used to work for subaru..back in the day
I thought WRX's were 14 to 15Psi and STi's were about the same..but it's been a while..
I used to pinch off the bleed line in my Demo Turbo forester to get a bit more Umph..but if you went too nuts the computer would shut it down.
Fast little breadbox , best race was against a S2000 , had him by 2 cars until about 100 when he went by.. Aerodynamics Owned me.
