Completely different to our ones though unfortunately. I wonder if the intake side and the internals from those would go onto our exhaust casting?
Well... THAT'S ME, WHO BOUGHT THEM...Originally Posted by bradc
So I will be able to tell you that shortly...
Thought that prise was good, so I can sell them again, if they are crap to fit...
cool
The compressor wheel look a bit bigger on BMW, thou...
But those catridges are really different...Oil and cooling piping from VR4 will NEVER fit those... So direct fit - not.

Is it me, or are the BMW units smaller?
You're right...And we all thought, that it was impossible... But from some angles, they're acually smaller...
BMW's looks more compact, but compressor housing is bigger...
Largely the same then which is a bit disappointing.
Well they are both TD03's so not a hell of a lot was going to be much different I imagine.
how much spool time do you think youd have on a td08?
Hours?
On a SINGLE TD08? You'd probably get it spooled up by around 5500rpms, maybe a bit earlier, but you'd be unlikely to reach max power until 9000rpms. TD08 is BIG sumbitch....more than twice the flow of a TD05-16G!!!
I've seen one on heavily modifed 14.5L cummins engine (racing lorry) with variable geometry, and that didn't spool until 3800rpms!!!!
What about four td025s? lol, I happen to have four of them sitting in my garage.
Dont be silly, if your going to do that you would want 6
Richard Batty
2.5ltr V6 Turbo FTO
There's already two td03s in there! lolDont be silly, if your going to do that you would want 6
Now that would be fun, especially if you got them working like a mark iv supra
All four of them? That was the original plan.. not sure if I will follow through with it though, all the valving is quite complicated.
Now... Will that be clever to replace Mitsu compressor wheel with slightly larger BMW one? The housing will need some machining, but not much...
OK, whilst things are going silly
4 turbo's, 6 turbo's, well i didn't start it!
and, if throwing money away seems like a good idea, then throw it in this sort of direction.
this is a 2.5 litre subaru, still only a flat 4, and running nothing like the final set up target, just barely running and fuelling so far.
the result, 620bhp on just 1.5 bar and puny injectors and ignition!
ive seen with my own the titanic turbo that will end up in this beast, and it will put the developers and my good friends, AREA52 Motorsport properly on the map as 1000bhp engine builder and tuners.
so, still think more is better?, turbo's i mean?????
i think it over complicates things if you're reaching for high bhp targets, the plumbing for this set up with 2 external wastegates and intercoolers that put a chill on mars is bad enough, snd the heat build up in a vr4 front end is so sapping as stock, don't make more hurdles.....
