So I have been researching on potential turbos to use on my l13a CVT setup. Read on several site/forums that the TD04/TD035 turbo is ideal for the Fit. I have the opportunity to get one off a WRX. I read that the spool up time is between RPM 2500 to RPM 5000, but i'm not sure.... should I go for it?

Your opinions and comments are appreciated.

 

TD04s are generally good for small-displacement engines like our L13As; they work well even with D15Bs.

My only concern is your tranny. The clutch packs on GD CVTs get fried quite easily at 120 WHP - they're not really suited for turbo applications.

Otherwise go for it - especially if you can source a manual gearbox somewhere.

 

Actually turns out it's not a WRX but an STI, so the turbo is not a TD04 but a VF30 none ballbearing...so I guess that's that. =(

 

Found a turbo from a Mitsu. Libero. It's a TD04L for US$ 220. However, I have been strongly recommended to use a CT9/CT9b turbo off a Toyota Starlette... Opinions and comments would be greatly appreciated .

 

Finding TD04 isn't hard... fairly cheap. Since i'm a subie owner. I see them going for 100$ in forums... But too bad I don't have mine anymore. Sold it, since I changed my turbo.

 

Would be interested in learning how to tune the ECU after doing all the piping, etc.

 

good luck, sounds interesting!

 

On my old hatch(d15b7 motor) I had the TD04L turbo, it spooled very quick and loved it.

 

You can find td04s with no shaft play for 100$ easy. I wouldnt pay more then that.

 

Would you mind PMing me where can I?

TIA

 

^I'll find one for you...for a finders fee

 

...Ace!

Thank you.
