November 1, 200718 yr Author Well... it sounds like a Good Idea, EJ Engined Loyales are Cool! Could you post more Pics of your Subie? ... it Looks Nice! Here's the one everyone has seen. No more pics until the current project is done zzz
November 1, 200718 yr aw hell, now i gotta go out and find that movie and scour it for that car, lol. Haha yeah it's the seen where Clarice is walking to here Pinto outside of the crazy home IIRC..
November 6, 200718 yr Author A little progress. Huge thanks to Patrick for not just getting this to me, but doing it so quickly! All three generations of forced induction - EA82 wagon style :-p
November 6, 200718 yr heyyyyy.... is that a water cooled EA82 turbo on the right side of that row? could you take some more pictures of that so I can compare them to the loosely ID'd "subaru turbos" I have up at the shop? I am 90% positive that they are all oil cooled, so they may be early ea82/ea81 turbos.. is there much difference? TIA

TIA From left to right: TD05 TD04 VF7 I'll see if I can get out and get some more pics in a bit. First thing to look for to identify the 'subaruness' of the turbo is the odd shaped uppipe flange. With the exception of aftermarket stuff, they will all be the weird 3 sided flange we all know and love.
November 8, 200718 yr HEY! I'm glad that it got to you. I figured that Priority Mail was the way to go. I was just wondering how long that it would take to get to you since we can't get tracking numbers. I think that it is amazing to see the evolution of the turbochargers. That TD05 is going to be insane on your wagon. I just think that it is funny how close to the original(VF7) it looks, well sort of. But it sure won't run out of breath up top like one! -Patrick

But it sure won't run out of breath up top like one! -Patrick Thanks again for getting this to me. You absolutely rock! Initial research shows that the Turbo is a 'small' 16g. Given the rather anemic qualities of the EA82, this is the best of the larger turbos for this thing. Should still spool decently and actually moves more air than a VF22 at lower boost levels. IHI VF-22 435 CFM at 14.7 PSI Small 16G 505 CFM at 14.7 PSI TD04L 403 CFM at 14.7 PSI I just don't know which short block to use. I have a choice of compression ratios. I am tempted to go with the 7.7:1 just so I can use a little more of the turbo Physical fitment looks like it will be no problem. It actually looks like it will fit a little better than the TD04 did. I think I will actually be able to go back to the stock airbox with this thing... Well.. It will look stock anyway. I also have a 2.0 liter shortblock - but nothing else to go with it
November 8, 200718 yr Author Hmm - decisions decisions High compression? (on the left) Low compression? (on the right)
November 9, 200718 yr Author I have placed a moratorium on the pictures of the car until it is done - or closer to done. You can still hear some cool things though http://www.element-z.net/subaru/16GNR.mp3 Sorry about the background noise. I keep a high volume fan running when doing open exhaust dumps in the garage :-p That funky bottlerocket sound is the turbo spooling down
November 9, 200718 yr Well you know me, I 'm partial to the 7.7:1 block! Man, I can't wait to get back home to my wagon! * re-arranges "aces" in shirt sleeve* -Patrick
November 9, 200718 yr Author I'm kinda leanin toward 7.7:1 right now. That turbo sounds obnoxious, using 7.7 will let me unleash it a little more I think.

Have you taken that bad boy for a drive yet? Let me know how that thing feels. Oh and don't forget to adjust the wastegate arm so that it doesn't overboost too much. I'm not sure what it was adjusted to when I got it. -Patrick

November 9, 200718 yr Author LOL....Does it sound like a semi or a jet? Listen here and tell me how obnoxious this is http://www.element-z.net/subaru/16GNR.mp3
November 10, 200718 yr Listen here and tell me how obnoxious this is http://www.element-z.net/subaru/16GNR.mp3 DANG!!!!! That thing is insane! You can definitely hear that turbo when it starts to wind down from being at speed. Just imagine how it will sound when the engine is under load. Man that thing is going to be a beast! -Patrick
