IHI RBH5 turbo?

[sids]

did some googling on it and it pops up everywhere from honda boards to VW threads, the consensus I got is that it came of an Isuzu Trooper in OEM trim but there are some VW sites that sell it as a turbo kit, cuz someone is selling it for a measley $125, aside from that is it better or crappier than the t25?

its funny what a little googling will do:

Air Flow Rate: 1.4 - 10.8m3/min // 49.4 - 381.4ft3/min
Max Pressure Ratio: 2.8
Maximum Speed: 180 x103rpm
Max Allowable Gas Temp: 9500C // 1742oF
Diesel Engine Application: 54-154Ps
Gasoline Engine Application: 73-208Ps

---------------------------------------------------
T25 (stock 2nd gen) 280-300 CFM~ 250hp Max @ 15 psi

so it looks like this turbo might be a slight better then a t25. but why #### around with this when you could get like a 14b for just as cheep or a t28?

this took all of 3 minuts to search for btw

true true.. but how many 14b's are you gonna find in the PI??

 

[focusedrage]

just seems like a waste of effort for only marginal gain

well that's what this forum is for, yup its just kinda marginally better, so scrap the idea, well HK has 2nd hand 16g turbos for $300

where can i get some 14b turbos and 16g's?

 

[99GSTszeikus]

go to a junk yard and im sure you can find a 14b around chicago. or look around in the forums for 1g gen guys upgrading their turbos. my friend is upgrading his stock turbo of off his first gen i can ask if he will want to sell it to ya.

Aren't these the turbo's on the early probe turbo models?

If so then don't bother.
