Hey guys anyone used or know of the IHI turbos.. apparently its fairly large in japan and North america.

got this turbo its a

IHI Serial No = RHF 149099F

Spec = VN14 0001

11411RP801

i should post this in the forced induction section... oh well..

ive been told its a Ball bearing very similar to the 2530 by garret/hks anyone confirm..

i got a pic somewhere.

thanks

mark.

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

so how come u used a chinese copy for ur manifold and wastegate then col?

farken hypocrite :ninja:

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.

im still waiting for a reply from ihi... hurry up yo.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
