The RHF series are ball bearing according to this site. Also, according to this site, the VN14 spec is an RHF5B turbo which, according to the chart in the first link and depending on exact spec, is rated for 73-208 ps. This is pretty much all the info I could find on this particular turbo, your best bet might be to use the contact info in the first link to contact IHI in the US and ask them the same questions you've posted here. Don't forget to let us know how you go :yes:

IHI are quite popular in the Subaru scene I believe, with most STI's being factory-fitted with an IHI turbo of some description (can't remember spec), and IIRC VF23's are a popular swap for WRX's. I had an RHE62 I was going to bolt to an old Commodore before I came to my senses :banana:

208ps only.. ther goes my plans.. lol..

um its a whole kit im buying off my mates mate. just doing research.. basically that pic i sent all that for 1500 Z32 afm, apexi intake, 550cc squirters, mani, dump and turbo.

i have sent an email to ihi the actual company.. and 5 others to representatives over the USA.. ill let you know how i go.

looking at the pics its similar to a 28

yeah subarus use a VF series by IHI i believe

Why not just get a Garrett or HKS setup, proven a million times over.

One can only assume your cheap? Like Subaru drivers :)

ahaha yes.. not really cheap just got offered a kit.. came off a S14 in japan. imported the whole thing...

was gonna use a 2871R probably still will..

subarus are cool and u love them col..

208ps is based on my possibly wrong interpretation of the very limited info I could find, it's quite likely that the turbo you're looking at will support a lot more than that. I'm keen to hear what IHI themselves come back with :D

its not a question of how well it works, its a question of how long it's gonig to last

maybe thats why ur selling ur car? :)

It will last, but 4 cars and a bike for 2 people does not make sence.

As the skyline gets the least love its going.

Trust me. He aint sellin his car. :P

Its sold pending payment actually. Im just not holding my breath as the buyer is 18 and I dont think he will get th loan from the bank.

Apexi turbo's are based on IHI turbo's

thanks for that. something i didnt know. ive heard good things about the apexi turbos.. so i think i might just look it over and pop it on the SR and see what i run up.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
