You want RHB5? You can come see it before you buy which is nice.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

Is that off a ford probe? Any pics and how much?

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

It's off an older Subaru. VF series not VJ like the WRX's VJ11. I was in a D-series powered EG with one and it did awesome at low-mid range. Felt like it was factory boosted. They're good for 80-250whp applications. What are these fuckers going for these days? Not much. I'll check Ebay and see what they're going for and give a definitive price. I bought it at a junkyard for $75 and pulled it myself. Any turbo there is $75. This one is nice and tight and spins great.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

OK ive used one of those before. Ill keep that in mind if i cant finda small T3 or 14b anytime soon.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

Sounds good. I have a used .48/.42 but I've never ran it and bought it also at the same junkyard. It's off a Volvo. If you can't find one that you've seen run; I can always let you test this one out or whatever.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

how about a 53/45 t3?

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

Hey that RHB5 I have is a VF28. Google says it's off an STi, but I'm not so sure. I ran the part number and is did match with the VF28 which is good for ~450cfm/330whp, so it's a little stronger than a 14b. I thought all RHB5's were the same, but I guess that's just the frame style. I'll get the calipers out and take some measurements to verify. If it's a VF28 it's a much better turbo than the stockers off the old Subies that are like VF12 IIRC. It may even be a ball bearing unit. I need to do some detective work though. Or just buy my baller Holset and blow that D up.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

if it's a vf28 youll have fun for sure

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

or its already blown from lack of oil >:D

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

:6 :y

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

It feels great and looks good too. No wear to the wheels at all and tight as any new turbo I've felt. Spins as it should too. I now want to make 100% sure what it is before I offer it to you though. If it ends up being a VF28 I don't want to sell it for $75 like I was when I thought it was the VF12; especially if it's a ball bearing unit.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

What dose it say on the Compressor housing? The blown ones i have say "tdo4L"

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

The IHI turbos don't say that though. TDO4HL is a Mitsu turbo that came on Subaru's. Mine says (on compressor cover plate)

Turbo.Spec. VF 28605
Serial No.RHB5 09617
PartsNo. 14412AA002

My search results kept saying VF28 off a mid 90's STI (obviously not USDM). I'm still not convinced that's what it is for some reason. Looks really small, but that's sitting next to a Holset and a Schwitzer so IDK. The ~450cfm seems doable for a turbo this size though. It's oil/water cooled too.

exhaust a/r is .45, compressor is the same as nissan patrol/forklift, rx7, IH scout diesel turbo, and is .53ar from what i've come across and been told.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

yeah get me a price on that thing but its probably going to be over budget :P

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

That's a Hitachi HT-18 right? Off the 12a Rotary IIRC. Rare to find them new. Definitely not a T3 lol. Or is it a hybrid of some sort with just the Hitachi compressor housing? You seem to know what you're talking about, so I find it hard to believe you'd call a Hitachi turbo a T3 without just cause. I'm probably missing something here.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

Also, that turbo I have IS a VF28! It looked so small and has the same triangular flange as the old RHB5's so I just figured it was off an old Suby. I guess it's a Jaydeeeeehemmm baller turbo after all. I suppose ~450cfm isn't that spectacular (in between 14b and 16g), so it's alright if it's small. Based on how the guys on the Subie forums rave about them; I was expecting something larger. I guess they're just tards. You can still buy it for cheap if you'd like. My new calipers will be here next week and I'll confirm 100% that it's a VF28.

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

OK so how cheap is cheap? and LMK when your 100% sure :y

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

i have a 14b that need a rebuild 40 buck i live maple falls

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series
 

from what i found, it's not 600hp internals in 100hp housings making it a 200hp turbo. the compressor wheel and housing are the same as a rx7, nissan patrol/forklift, and scout II sd33t diesel variant.

hotside is 1/3 the a/r of a rx7 hotside, the non-mazda applications ran a godly huge hotside (like 1.8ar) whereas this one is a .45

it's been a few months since i saw it, but it's been sitting in his garage in front of his nova for a few years, he got it in a deal with a box of ----. it still had the plastic compressor caps on it (its ------- new in oem nissan box), along with the bag of oem gaskets to install it. t3 flange for sure, looks like standard t3 drain flange too. outlet was 4-bolt iirc, i'll have to stop over one day after he gets off work and make him an offer,

Re: Smallish Turbo for a D-series

Where else can someone find this kind of turbo? I would like to build a twin turbo just for show. Doesn't need to be the perfect street sleeper. I have a D15b1 block that I like to build. Yea I'm new to this. I have a 89 EF hatch that I'm starting to build. I would be using 1 5/8" pipes for the exhaust and a 2 exhaust ports for 1 turbo. Feel free to pm me.
