gary Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 i would like to put a stock wrx tb 04 turbo. and set the boost at 5 pounds. i have 36 inch equal length headders, ems computer, it dynos 270 horsepower as is. would like to add 40-50 horsepower. ive heard alot of stories of the 3.3s internals not being strong enough to handle boost. i am wondering if anyone had turboed a 3.3 or blown up there 3.3 with too much boost. With only 5 pounds, do you think i would need an intercooler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOBOUTLAW Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 OMG that sandrail is badass!! I think the EG33 can handle 5 lbs no problem. Some dude was selling a supercharger kit on this board and said 5 lbs is fine with a stock motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubaruJunkie Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 An intercooler will help no matter how little boost you are running. You will definatly want to install one with this pplication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

970subaru Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) really cool rail, how much travel? a wrx turbo would come on very low(off idle?) and fall off low too. way too small for your app. IMHO. that turbo is for a 2.0L and 227bhp at like 11psi. it would be blowing really hot air on the EG. two TD04's would be good. get a bigger single turbo like a holset HX35 and methanol/water injection kit then maybe 12-15 psi. chemical cooling=no need for intercooler. with 10-1 and boost that thing is going to rip. also for low boost an eaton M90 supercharger off a ford 3.8 supercoupe would be a good fit for the 3.3L and they are cheap to buy you just have to be able to do your own setup.
