1. Try searching under the name HITACHI.
2. Google for Mazda or RX-7 forum.

You will be better off measuring the compressor and turbine wheels, and then calculate the trim yourself. I have one of those turbos, and I could not find any specs for it. All I know is it has a .65 turbine housing (because its marked on the inside of turbine housing). The compressor housing has no marking but by the looks of it, it is either a .42 or .48 compressor housing.

Good luck.

any turbo will fit anything, outside of how well the turbo will/wont perform on the given vehicle. fabrication alcohol crowbars and 5lb hand sledges are the only things that determine just what exactly fits..
