Awsome site guys, tons of good info if you know how to search.

so heres my situation,ive got an 86 crx with a Si fuelinjected motor swapped in. ive got every thing i need for the turbo setup but im still not sure which turbo to use. I have 2 here, one is a TD-04B off a volvo but it needs a rebuild/balance, seccond is a IHI RHB5-0321A from a 89 mazda 626 good cond with no exsess play but it has a slight crack in the exhaust housing right next to the bypass valve (so not really effecting the turbine clerance). as for most HMT's money is tight and i would rather just run the IHI till the crack grows and then replace the turbo but is there a major proformance gain/lose with either one of thease turbos? should i just spend the money on a rebuild kit or sohuld i go with a new exhaust housing on the IHI? it will be daily driven w/ 450's 3" exhaust and a volvo intercooler (if it fits)

thanks

 

the exhaust housing on my ihi was cracked to ---- and it still managed to spool fully by 2500 in every gear just use it

Since you're a ------- dumbass who can't read, I'll paraphrase what he said: He has two turbos, both have some kind of problem. He wants to know which one has the least detrimental problem, so he can run that one.

 

Get off his **** already. Both of those little bitch turbos sucks. Why the ---- would you rebuild that crap. For 50 bucks you can get another one. Why didnt you answer him?

 

I use an IHI RHB5 from a T-Bird (slightly bigger than the Mazda terd) and it works great for daily driving. I don't know about the Mazda exhaust housing, but my IHI uses a T3 flange, so it can be replaced with a bigger turbo for cheap later.

 

Just get a GT70r and be done.
