Any help would be much appreciated Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Oil feed comes from the back of the filter housing the the top of the turbo, water cooling comes from the thermostat housing to the port closest to the rocker cover and drains back to the water pipe that comes out of the back of the water pump. There is another oil feed on the back corner of the cylinder head which I think all other Mitsubishis use. You won't hurt it with no water cooling.

unhuman Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ideally you should hook the water lines up but people have run TD04/5s without water cooling since the dawn of time. I have had my TD05 with just the oil feed/drain for the last 2/3 years with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 yea i don't run water through mine either, optional extra etc... (only BB turbos really need water) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVIOUS Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 So the oil feed would go into the part with the two bolts holding on metal hose thing? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fulloc Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 thats the drain back to the sump on the bottom by the sound of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVIOUS Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Ok sweet. I had to move the turbo around to suit the intercooler piping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 easiest way for most turbos: smallest hole = oil feed big hole directly opposite = oil return to sump - has to be at bottom as they are gravity return other 2 side holes = water 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbug Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Oh this thread looked so promising on the surface I was given a TD-04l of which I know nothing about because my middle name is Snow. I know little about anything turbo as I've never had one nor had much interest in them, why spin a turbine when you can spin an engine? Well because spinning a turbine is betterer and I'm a stupid because BOOST. So I have the lingo down, now it's time for some actual knowledge. Seems like this is a pretty small turbo for a 1800 or something similar but looking on the great Google it says they were used EVO 1-3. But...... I may need a photo of the stamps on the housings so that if there be any aficionados out there they could perhaps slather me in their buttery knowledge. WTF is this going on?Well I want to put a turbo on my FE-DOHC (2.0) because I'm old and lazy and need a turbo to make the drive to/from work up and down hills a much easier proposition. And since I have a FREE TURBO I might as well use that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The evo motors have some good HP so I'd say i t would probably be fine on your engine.. I wouldn't want to go any bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 EVOs had a TD05, GSRs had TD04 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrstar Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 A td04 will have near diesel like torque on a 2 litre twin cam but will be all out of puff before 5000 rpm. Might be ok on a SOHC though.. There will be a dowel on the turbine housing which you will have to remove if you need to clock the turbo core to get the drain pointing to the 6 o'clock position.. If reasonable pull to 7000 rpm is what you want and you are making a custom manifold find yourself a healthy tdo5hr from an evo 4 onwards and build a decent twin scroll manifold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 peasants spec wrx's came with td04l's. they are bit better than a straight td04. does it have a square or triangle flange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangbug Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'll nab some photos tonight. I'd love some diesel like torque but would also be nice to do redline pulls when the hooligan in me wants too The deciding factor may be BECAUSE FREE.In saying that.Anyone have a td04 - td05 swap hankering?

Ghostchips Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 i am curious as to why the oil drain needs to be at the bottom. Is it because instead of the oil filling up and siphoning out the top it would go out the exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 pretty much, pressure would build up and push oil out past the seals. needs to be unrestricted gravity retun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 td04s came on some volvos too. there are a few variants tdo4, tdoh tdo4l tdo4hl and yeah there are different exhaust housing bolt patterns for different manufacturers anecdotally the later/bigger ones with the letter on the end are good upgrade turbos for smaller motors up to around 1.6L looking to put out up to ~200hp atw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although I dont rev to 7k) My sohc 4G63 has a td05hr on it. It pulls great from down low in the rev range. Was a bit of a pain in the arse to get it to fit. The wastegate actuator is mounted upsidedown and is on a bracket that is welded to the downpipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
