16g on wrx sti?

[ove_98 TSI]

A friend of mine wants to know if a 16g that fits on a dsm, will fit on a 01 wrx sti...i told him i had no idea (i havent even seen the car yet) does anyone know? he wants to buy my 16g and then i could get something bigger
thanks

The exhaust sides are different so no, it won't bolt right up.

just tell him to crank up the psi on the t25 his engine can handle it. I have a buddy who runs 19psi on his WRX

wrx sti's come with a t25?

 

[olmytsi]

They make 16gs and other "mitsu" turbos for wrx, tell him to look on the wrx/sti vendor sites. One off a dsm won't bolt up.

WRX/Sti's do not come with t25's...they have some kind of VF turbo.

 

[Backinajiffy12]

Yeah your right WRX comes with a T25 STI's come with a VF22 i think

 

[ed_GST]

WRX comes with TD04HL turbos and STi's with VF39, 2008 STi comes with a different VF

 

[95gskid]

tell him to get STI "pink" injectors, 255 fuel pump and a vf39 STI turbo, cobb acess port and forget using a 16g...

okay thanks guys... does anyone know a good site like this to buy one off of?
im going to take a look at his car soon and help him get some more power out of it

theres a 2001 sti? , didnt sti come out in 04, because there were no Bug Eye sti's

 

[ove_98 TSI]

i may be wrong like i said i havent even seen the car yet

 

[csgsx23]

The 2008 Sti's come with the VF-43 turbo that has a turbine housing not as prone to cracking as the VF-39's. Ohh and don't go around telling people to "crank up the boost because it can handle it". That is just terrible advice because some people will actually do just that with no supporting mods.

E316G install on WRX. Obviously some modification has to be done (notice turbine housing flanged for WRX manifold, etc).

2007 STIs came with a VF43 as well!

 

[ove_98 TSI]

looks like ill be doing some reading on wrx forums and upgrade paths..anyone know of a good upgrade path? i was thinking of just raising the boost a few pounds guess im wrong...now i have lots some reading to do

Don't mess with the airbox if you have an STi. The Hotwire MAF is sensitive like you wouldn't believe, there is very little to gain in horsepower by messing with the intake box.
I pulled the main air snorkel going over the radiator but left the intake sucking thru the fenderwell. This picks up a good amount of lowend and topend and improves driveability. I use the stock airfilter also. I did pressure drop tests on the entire intake system and the airfilter itself produces zero restriction to the motor.

You can toss in a boost controller. WRX's have possibly the slowest spoolup programmed into the ECU. A boost controller will make a huge difference in driveability.

STI comes with 550cc injectors, 18"x6" top mount intercooler, 2.5" exhaust, and the VF39 turbo rated for 35 lb/min.

They are different I had one STI turbo which I got at the junkyard for my old white eclipse and I had to cut a piece of downpipe from the STI since is different never got around installing it since I traded the car
