Z-TARD Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I just aquired an IHI RHB5 Turbo from an 89 Isuzu Impulse, I cant find much for specifications on the internet and was wondering if 2 of these would be enough for a 5.3 liter 12 cylinder engine. Thanks in advance for the help, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Sounds like a sweet setup. I don't know the specifics on the IHI, but I've heard they are not as reliable or efficient as the Garrett models. Even so, the Impulse only had a 1.8 liter motor, so for 5.3 liters, 2 sounds inadequate. What about a pair of stock T3 Z turbos? I think that would be about ideal...

Z-TARD Posted June 24, 2003 Author Share Posted June 24, 2003 Your right, I did some more research and found that the RHB5 is good for motorcycles and itty bitty cars, and not much else. 4 of these would probably be really bitchin on a Jag V-12, but I dont really enjoy the thought of all the associated plumbing. Oh well, I have a buddy with a Honda that wants to buy it, so its not a total loss. I looked at the turbo in an 87 300ZX, actually tore a bunch of stuff off trying to get at it. Unfortunately it looks like it would be easier to just cut the exhaust and pull the motor to get it out, its buried in there pretty good. Maybe next time.
