ok , ive done a fair bit of searching for info on the VJ11 here on feoa an so far it seems to be a choice of preference .

I recently acquired a VJ11 with the MX6 inj , FMIC from a Mercedes SLK
i have the BP26 GTX mani ( from yoda ) ,RX7 Vaf , ill be running stock EGT ecu ( w/FMU for now )

Some have said the VJ 11 is a waste of time for a BP is this fact or myth?

i am able to acquire a Vj 16 for a hybrid upgrade later on.

tips tricks an idea's , opinions would be awesome .

i cant wait to join the dark side :twisted:

Looking at an Integra forum I found that the IHI VJ11 provides good in the low end put the drops off at around 5k-6k rpm. Since the BP makes power up high sounds like the vj11 would be a waste on it. On a cvh it might do well though...

so a VJ 11/vj16 hybrid would be a good idea i suppose to make up for where it drops off?

i figured a stock VJ11 would be a good choice to learn to crawl with since the vj20 is hard to get up here.

this is good anyone else ?

VJ-11 makes a really sweet door stopper.

i dont know why everyone shits all over the VJ11, it's essentially the same damn turbo as the VJ20. the compressor and turbine wheels are the SAME (interchangeable even). the only real difference is a slightly larger exhaust housing a/r on the VJ11 which theoretically should result in better high rpm power, the trade off being a marginally slower spool.

 

[Onegimp]

I will poop on both because I can... :lol:

 

[white-lightning]

Not to thread-jack, but what type of mounting flange do you need for a vj11? JGS does not list a flange for it.

im guessing silex is going to be looking into buying my vj46 lol by the sounds of it... 100$ and its ur dude seeing as u helped me with my POS escort. going onto its 3rd transmission..im going bp next month

 

[racethisescort89]

coorection..vj16 i have fat fingers

 

[sedanman]

shit i want a vj46 :lol:

 

[Silex]

:lol:

ok if its nearly identical then i should be fine.

i have the BP26 GTX manifold and an the down pipe is intact on the turbo. im so friken close to being boosted i can taste it 8O , i could have this pig done by monday night but i gotta do a timing belt on gadget first or ill just use my spare motor ( 150k kms instaead of gadgets current 400K+ km )

doest anyone have pics they could send me of where i can tap into for oil feed an water feed,drain? would be greatly appreciated 8)

 

[Onegimp]

There are two feed holes on the front of the block for oil and coolant.

 

[Silex]

hmm nice discovery

elongate the turbo side holes? shouldn't hurt it any . continue the holes to the ends so its more like a slot instaed of a hole ( maybe make/use some triangle corers )

or
make a adapter plate

VJ-11 pattern vs VJ-20

1 bolt holding VJ-11 to GTX mani for picture purposes ( aww i cant wait for that scene to change of an over view in the engine bay 8) )

 

[4doorscort]

looks great man, my vote is on make a new adapter plate if you can

Forget that. VJ-11 are dirt cheap, just get a new VJ-20 gasket from CS and elongate the VJ-11 holds.

 

[Silex]

elongating it is , should i use those lil triangle shaped washers? ( i cant think of what there called atm

 

[Bomdoutscort]

This has been done in the past a long time ago Elongating the holes or just cut off all the corners or cut from the corner to the center of the hole.

 

[vtec-this]

wow i never knew the vj-11 was slightly bigger than the vj-16..gues it makes sense as it was on the 2.2 and the 16 was on the 1.8. guess even people who have been on here for years learn something new everyday.

 

[Silex]

lol you confused your self vtec-this lol the vj-11 an vj-20 are simalar with the excpetion of the vj-11 having a slightly bigger hot side but hte flanges are different but locations of everything else is identical the vj-16 is a compressor upgrade option for the vj-11 an for the vj-20 if im not mistaken.

 

[Bomdoutscort]

If you put that compressor wheel on you need that compressor housing from the vj17/ Tbird turbo.
