TD05H on 4EFTE???

[nyahbingi]

Any views on this turbo (from a gc8 wrx) and how it performs on the mighty 4EFTE?

No idea, but it's probably pointless compared to a 5efte.

my friend using TD05h 16G in his 4EFTE powered GT turbo its doing really good starting spooling from 3000 rpm. don't forget turbo rated at 380hp @ 22psi.

that one for and one against more comments welcomed!

Starting to spool from 3000rpm...I'm at full boost (15psi) 500rpm earlier that that with my hybrid. That kindof lag wouldn't be for me at all, to each his own though.

This is kinda what im tryna work out in a thread i just started but more about the turbos than the engine. The TD05 has been used on the 4efte plenty of times that im aware of so if thats what your planning on going for it shouldnt be a problem to the best of my knowledge.

There is always a trade-off in your power band depending on the turbine you chose. If you are looking to get large bhp figures out of a tiny 1300cc engine, you will acheive that with a larger turbo like that td05. The trade-off is you lose pretty much all, and I mean ALL of your lower end power and torque. Add to that the fact that your power delivery is no longer linear, insted you get a massive surge high in the rpm range, just before your shift point, severely limiting your usable power. This is perfect for drag racers, but totally inpratical for everyday driving senarios like traffic, corner entry/exits on twisty roads etc.

The other end of the spectrum is lower top bhp figures but massive low-mid range power, torque and response smaller, quicker spooling turbines can give. The car becomes a weapon in all situations except long straight roads where the top end power of larger turbines would prevail. Find a compromise between the two like a td04l 13g, or a well built ct9 hybrid and you can have the best of both worlds. I have seen response & agility devastate brute power time and time again. Just my 2cents.
