BanditPervert Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Hi all I’ve been been looking at previous threads and see the popular choice for the bandit 12 blow job is a TD04 or TD05. i gather the 04 is better suited to quick spooling and the 05 for higher up. im looking to get a fleabay one either refurbished or new copy, has anyone had strong results with any others. details are 1216 busa pistons, blow through arrangement and some good prep work, (HD APE stuff). Thanks Edited June 27, 2020 by BanditPervert Quote
Reinhoud Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) I've got a VF20 from a Subaru Legacy (primairy turbo), it's a small one on 1245cc, mine is only running 7psi at the moment, and for that this turbo is alright, I don't know yet what it does when I raise the boost, still waiting for my boost controller. I had a TD5 16 G (EVO III) this turbo started to get boost at about 4500rpm, it had full boost at 5500rpm. The VF20 hit's 7psi in the blink of an eye when it hits 4000rpm I have no idea how the VF20 relates to TD numbers Edited June 27, 2020 by Reinhoud Quote
clivegto Posted June 27, 2020 Posted June 27, 2020 Ihi vf22 ball bearing turbo will spin up fast & produce lots of power. Saying that I manged to get 260hp out of my td04. Quote

I’ve looked at the IHI’s And read the Spondon article online and saw he used the vf23, none around at the moment though. clive, was it a 16t you had before, I’ve seen a 19t but I’m not sure if would physically be to large.

Your is an odd combination of 24 with 23 hot side isnt it? 22 and 23 are exactly the same hot side. Quote

I did read that the 22 is an upgrade from the 23, that's why I asked, not familiar with the numbers, I have the impression that a higher number not necessarirly means it's a bigger turbo... Quote

Spools faster but less power 350bhp on car (280-300 on bike) 24 has 23 compressor and a smaller turbine 275bhp on car (maybe 250 on bike) Cant really hybrid them apart from a 24 small turbine with a 22 big compressor but that would be a bit crap, would spool slower because of the big compressor and make less outright boost because of the small turbine. 1 Quote

Thanks. There's a chart on the net for the VF turbo's, but for some it doesn't hold information, like the one I have.. Quote

If you google IHI vf turbo specs one of the first results has a list of them all and a description of the whole range, handy quick guide, just worth remembering the power figures relate to a car engine that makes more power N/A than bandit/gsxr low comp motors. Equates to 50bhp ish less on bike in my experience. Quote

BanditPervert Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 Got a td05 in the end as it was refurbished and not too expensive. Ill be keeping an eye out for an IHI one though as that sounds like the one to use. thanks for all the advice Quote
BanditPervert Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 Wasn’t sure weather to start a new thread or not, but with regards to the fueling, do I need to remove the vacuum from the fuel tap? I have an Osias high pressure fuel pump with a fpr and in line filter, will the vaccuum from the carbs still be ok to use? thanks Quote

Boosted applications offer low vacuum signal when 'off' boost - the system reverting to pressurised when 'on' boost. Your FPR (hopefully a boost referenced one) will definitely use that connection. Most people take boost reference signal from plenum or pitot tube to simplify the plumbing! Quote

Gixer1460 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 But as soon as boost builds there won't be vacuum - anywhere - so the tap will shut off flow and carbs will starve! In a turbo install you have to use either a manual tap or electric one. Quote

You dont have a vaccume anymore to suck the tap open, you get the opposite of it being blown shut. Worth remembering though you have no reserve function on prime, and you run out of fuel pretty quick with a turbo. I may have fallen foul of that a couple of times myself Edited July 2, 2020 by MeanBean49 Quote
Gixer1460 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 And 'prime' really isn't designed for running under load especially with a turbo! Quote
