IHI RHB5 turbo good for ?
 

Well I got this turbo for my y7,but after deep thought I prefer to keep that motor stock and just keep my DD stock.I have a EG with a usdm b16 and I was wondering if its worth using it on that motor.I ask because I haven't had any luck selling the turbo and its been 4 months since I've been trying to sell it.I was just wondering if this turbo would be any good to use on either my b16 or ls,in any case that I can't sell it within the next few weeks.

Two of them (assuming its the Tbird version) work well on a 5.0 Ford.

not sure how same is rhb5 and rhb52. im using rhb52 on my 1.8l motor and it was great. spool up from 2300rpm onwards hit max boost 3800rpm and stay till 6000rpm. my motor was stock hence i dun intended to rev any higher so it was fine with me

Sorry for taking so long to reply.If anyone wants to see pics I can email them to you.Just email me and tel me you want to see pics.Jontue_mullins@tmail.com.I think I will end up using it on my D.Its my daily and I don't need to much power,just more then what its putting out now.I won't be able to boost much because I'm going to keep it obd2.The guy I got the turbo from used it on a sohc crx and said it spools up prety fast,this turbo is reallllly small,I don't know why I was even thinking on usuing it on my dohc....Maybe someone will read my post and be able to answer my question,what is the most amount of boost I would be able to run on a obd2 motor without messing something up.Thank you for your time.

my buddys y8 hatch runs an ihi rhb5 at 10 psi on afc hack and pulls low 13 second 1/4's and will out pull evo's ad srt-4's so its not all that bad, its still a turbo, a tiny turbo, but still a turbo...

Re: IHI RHB5 turbo good for ?
 

I agree.Its a small turbo,but perfect for what I'm looking for.I'm going to use it on my y7.

YES

I used one in my old hatch that also had a y7 swapped in it and I loved it. I drove like stock car but with just more power if that makes any sense. Boost was there like yesterday and held up good. It was my daily driver and damn I miss that car and that setup. I constantly pull 1 bar daily until it spun a bearing but I still drove it for a month afterwards but nothing over 3k and even left the turbo on it. I personally like the rhb5's that come on probe/mx6. No funky ass flange as you can still get flanges for them quite easily. they share the same inlet flange as the subies so if you built a manifold or just wanted to upgrade to something bigger then you can use like STI snail but those go for $$.

Thanks for the input.Im content on using this on my y7.At one point I wanted to sell it,because I didnt want to boost my daily anymore and I was having a hard time selling it, so I thought id use it on my b-series, what I wasnt really thinking at that point.I think the frustration of not being able to sell it clouded up my brain.Ive decided that my daily is just to slow, and this turbo would work perfect for me.I am not looking for alot of power, just more then what I have now.I am slowly putting everthing to together now.Just waiting on a few answers and a few more parts.Hopefully Ill be boosting by feb.
