Re: Ford Probe 2.2 Turbo at Junkyard
 

I dont know, it would probably be good for like 50 pounds of torque in the 2-3k RPM range.
Sounds like that what he wants so it would be perfect for him.

Re: Ford Probe 2.2 Turbo at Junkyard
 

Well my engine supposedly only has a redline around 5000 RPM so I won't be revving it very high. Yes boost in the 2500-5000 RPM range would be ideal for my setup and goals. But anyway I went ahead and pulled the ---- off today. I got Turbo, Manifold, DP, Intercooler, and Injectors for $100 and since I don't need the injectors I can seel them on ebay for hopefully $35 or so and then sen the manifold for maybe $15 so I should only be into this project $50. The turbo is in good shape with no shaftplay, spins beautifully, and no cracks that I have found. Now I need to get a manifold fabbed, oil lines and stuff, maybe a bigger inject with fuel tuning on the ecm, and then get a 3" exhaust made. I'm thinkin just going 3" straight pipe. I'll have pictures up tommorow.

Re: Ford Probe 2.2 Turbo at Junkyard
 

be careful going too big on the exhaust, those little IHI like to spike, the bigger the exhaust the more they seem to spike, 2.25" or 2.5" would be plenty big, I think the factory Probe turbo only had 2" or maybe 2-1/8"

All said and done $100 so far but hopefully i can cut that in half by selling the injectors and the manifold.

You guys are funny saying that the VJ11 is too small when I dynoed about 100 hp more than any of your Honda's with the same turbo on 16 psi. It's an excellant entry level turbo. The RHB5 VJ11 only has an exhaust side A/R of .27
The turbine has an exducer diameter of 42.40 mm and a inducer of 51.80 mm making it a 67 trim turbine.
The compressor side has an inducer of 36 mm and an exducer of 52.50 mm making it a 47 trim.

You also have the option of upgrading the compressor housing and wheel from the Warner Ishi/IHI from the 87-88 T Bird.

BTW- those injectors are 360cc injectors at their peak, they're high impedance as well.

73-90cc/15sec

Re: Ford Probe 2.2 Turbo at Junkyard
 

its too small for alot of the stuff people are doing on here... most people are trying to make 220 hp or so at 7500 rpm+ or nearly 300hp on some b series spinning to 8500, you will def run out of flow with it in those situations, but using it on a truck should work pretty good, itll spool right off idle and get you boosting and adding power right where you need it, should work fine.

Re: Ford Probe 2.2 Turbo at Junkyard
 

Exactly, for his application it should work fine and is an excellant entry level turbo that you won't have to empty your wallet on dyno time/test and tune with.
