d16y8crx

so i picked up a turbo and im trying to figure out what it is. Its stamped Ishi Warner IHI, and the numbers are "5IT-21" on the little stamp next to that. other than that, there's no other numbers. i thought it was an RHB-5 but i someone said it wasnt, the bearing housing looks different. ill post pics if anyone is interested in helping me out. thanks.

Found this post for you

Found a turbo that definately came off of a t-bird coupe, 87-88, .60 compressor a/r... numbers on the compressor housing agree with what Nico posted earlier:
51T-21 98 2

good find. t-birds did switch to a ihi turbo for 87-88..

looks like that syour piece. i believe its a rhb52

sounds about right, theres also a 98 and a 2 on the stamp. thanks for looking. now that i know what it is, anyone know if its any good for a d16y8 setup?

im guessing the stock wastegate is set at 8 psi..? it the wastegate has a big **** dent in the side of it im guessing its fucked right? can i use one from any other rhb5?

i just got an IHI 51T-21 turbo for doing some tuning for a guy... i'm thinking about using it on my teg.. b16a head, b18c1 block.. stock internals the teg is my daily driver and just dont see much high rpm revving.. so i've been thinking about going LS turbo instead... a few days ago i tuned a GSR turbo hatch for a friend.. t25 turbo.. 450 dsms.. 11 psi.. was pretty impressed.. so decided to do something like that for myself...

i need to find a cheap turbo manifold... i got one of those little dsm sidemount intercoolers i'll prolly mod and make front mount..
this'll definately be a DIY turbo setup
