Re: ups and downs of a ihi thunderbird turbo???
Can you do me a favour and post the numbers on the Hot side.
And if possible on the cold side.
I got an IHI off some old car which has 52 - 25-R 5 on the hot side. Still trying to figure out what Car this came off. Its huge.
Now runing a 52 - 12R 5

Re: ups and downs of a ihi thunderbird turbo???
The original application for this IHI is a 2.3 liter turbocoupe. Specs are
2.3L IL4 OHC, EFI ,Turbocharged
Horsepower: 190 @ 4600
Torque: 240 @ 3400
I think that it should work well on a smaller motor.
