Reclocking an IHI?
 

Anybody have a "HOW TO" with pictures (or not) on how to reclock a IHI turbo. I'm going to get my intercooler soon and it would make my piping a ton easier if I can reclock my turbo. BTW, it looks like you can only reclock it 180 degrees from where it sits now..it this true or not. I need to turn about 120 degrees.

which IHI?

RHB5? Subaru? or Mazda?

I could probably do a quicky write up for ya...

Re:Reclocking an IHI?
 

Wish I knew, it's the one that came in the Apex-i D-series kit. The housing has nothing on it (except apex-i), but it's a little thing. Apex told me that it maxes out at 17psi but that's about all they could tell me. They didn't even have a IHI part number for what they buy from them... ::)

I did a little looking around...and I'm almost positive that it's a RHB5... ;D BTW it is internally waistgated

The "core of power" in APEXi's Civic turbo kit are an IHI AX53B60-P18 ball-bearing turbo and cast iron manifold.

the IHI rhb5 came stock in a few cars. Mazda MX6/323gt, Ford probe gt, susuki something, subaru loyale/xt, maybe some others.
Maybe that can help

Oh, also this is the one that should come on the Apex-i kit according to turbo magazine.

Re:Reclocking an IHI?
 

Yep, that's the one.(see..no numbers on it eather)...how do you reclock the thing? or can it be reclocked?

Re:Reclocking an IHI?
 

BTW, those numbers from apex-i are for the D-series, I have this turbo on a B16. I already making ALOT more than that, hella quick spool too. It does run out on top a little.

Re:Reclocking an IHI?
 

So does anyone know if you can reclock this turbo, and if so, how to do it?

Re:Reclocking an IHI?
 

By reclocking do you mean just rotating the compressor housing? I wanted to do the same thing and by taking off the small nuts and clamps all around the housing I could have turned it to face most angles. I went from straight out (facing towards the front) to going straight down for easier piping.
