Looking for a downpipe for my IHI RHB5 turbo...Please read and help!!!
Going to be putting an IHI RHB5 turbo set up on my D16Z6 this spring my question is I want it to be as neat as possible and don't want to ghetto the crap out of it.I know these set ups came off of Probes and Mazda MX6's but any idea what years?? I'm trying to find a down pipe off ebay to hook up to my turbo down-pipe and I have no idea what year to look for.I know I'll probably still have to fabricate a little but I think they came with a flex pipe but I'm not sure.Something like this:

But I'm not sure if this is for turbo applications?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.What year did the Probes and Mazda's come with IHI RHB5 turbo's
?? Thanks

I made my own. Had a flange made from the stock dp. then went to town welding up the new dp.
Ive seen the ones on ebay. Not 100 percent sure it would work on my application.

I'd say get one for a probe or an MX6 an modify it, buuuuttt... No one makes one for that turbo. Been there done that with my turbo probe, now if I can only get the t3/t4 setup to hold together on her then I'll be in business lol.
Honestly from all the probe owners and 6 owners. Make one.
Besides thats for the 93 and up 2.0 NA car as pin said the turbo only came on the 2.2 F2T 88-92 6's and probes.

I know somehow who has the O2 housing with 3bolt outlet flange on it for that turbo, you would just need to find the 3bolt flange at a muffler shop to build off from..I dunno, do you already have the O2 housing?

your sure it came from a probe right..since rhb5s came in turbocoupes too, im not sure if the flange is the same, i know the exh inlet is different so maybe the outlet is too
They also came on subarus. How many bolt studs does your housing have? Mine only has four (subaru RHB5) and I guess I'm going to have to make a flange, as I don't have an O2 housing. I think the probe/Mx6 housings have 5 studs. Best bet would be to get a flange or make one and build your downpipe from there
If the header flange for the turbo is triangular the it a subi turbo. if not its Mazda or Ford. I had a subi one and I had to have BMC make me a flange.
The turbo in question is the IHI RHB5 VJ11, which is specific to the 88-92 MX-6 and the 89-92 Probe. There are other IHI turbos that came stock in other cars, but they aren't identical to the VJ11.
