Hey everyone. Just to let you know, I've already done a search for IHI turbo in the forum. Haven't found the answer to my question yet, so here it goes. So I want to get the IHI RHB52 turbo from an old 88 t-bird, for my car, but the only manifolds I can find at a decent price are for the t3/t4/t3-t4. I know everyone is going to tell me to go with the t3, but I really don't think I'll need it. I want to use the IHI w/the manifold fitted for a t3. It looks like the IHI MIGHT fit on the t3 turbo manifold, but I'm not too sure. I could always weld an adapter plate on there. But do you guys know if it's a direct bolt on or not? Thanks. Then. . . if I ever get greedy, I might upgrade to the t3 later in life . Catcha guys later.

You can make an adapter to make it work with anny turbo mani.Thats what every else that I know of that have used that turbo have done.

the tbird ihi has the t3 bolt pattern. you dont need an adapter plate.

what he said... the turbo coupe IHI is a 100% drop in for a t3... well other then the exhaust side of things
