Has anyone heard about mounting a IHI RHC7 turbo on a RB26?

I'm searching some information like RPM for boost peak at different boost levels, maximum bhp output, feedbacks from owners...

I just finished rebuilding one and it just came back from balancing. I'm going to mount it on my forged bottom RB26. Mine is a bit king of hybrid because using a HKS T04R turbine housing.

Here is some information found on internet:

Compressor wheel inducer= 57.15mm exducer=81.91mm

57.15mm^2/81.91mm^2*100 = 49 trim

Turbine wheel exducer =62.61mm, inducer =73.66

62.61mm^2 /73.66 mm^2*100 = 72 trim

Compressor housing 2.27 inches of area / 3.31 radius = .69 ar

T04R turbine housing is T4 inlet .81 undivided

RHC7 seems to be given for 62LB/min

It has very near dimensions with power enterprise PE2220, so it could probably flow 22M3/min. A bit less than 62lb/min.

I have seen 1JZ dynos with that turbo at 550RWHP.

If some of you used this turbo or have information, please let me know. smile.gif

Digging out this thread.

I have been looking for weeks for information about the exhaust housing of this hybrid turbo.

It looks sooooo small! And nothing is written on it.

And it's still a real T04 flange!

it's smaller than all T04R turbine housing I have seen and way smaller than RHC7 stock turbine housing.

In one hand the spool must be sooo quick!! In the other hand there is a risk of early choke. Luckily, the exhaust wheel is damn big, 74/63mm 72trim.

The only info Y have is it's stabilo written "HKS N°=40" on it. It has real T4 flange and 3" 4 bolt outlet.

Have you already seen this kind of turbine housing?

ihi rx8 indy turbo..

the compressor cover and backplate are made from magnesium and hard anodized

the comp wheel is investment cast titanium and is ptfe coated( teflon)

inducer is 74mm,exducer is 91mm

a/r is 1.0

the turbine housing is investment cast from titanium

it uses v band clamps for manifold and outlet.

the turbine wheel is a super alloy inconel 738.

inducer is 89mm,exducer 79mm

the a/r is 1.2

looks completely different to my rhc7, your one seems to have a garrett/khs rear on it?

Mines T4 flange with some sort of weird V band rear.

From what I understand its a touch bigger than a holset hx35, CEFF1E on here has a hx35 on a stock bottom, stock cams rb30DET, 325rwkw, 19 psi, full boost at roughly 3500rpm's.

So theres a possible comparison.

I havent ran my Ihi on the rb30det yet, car isnt finished.

According to the specs, it should be nice on the 3 ltr,see how it goes I guess.

heres a pic of mine

jibe, i forgot my camera today but took some with my phone, I can MMS them to your phone if your interested?

Thanks, but I'm living in France, maybe it's not included in your mobile phone contract and would be expensive?

I can wait, it's not a problem.

If you still prefer I will send you my number by PM.

Digging this old thread.

I'm about to finish my build and now I'm close to first start.

I made measurement of the compressor and turbine wheels and imprecise measurement/calculation of turbine A/R and what I found seems a bit crazy!

Compressor wheel is effectively 82 exducer, but is 63mm inducer instead of 57!!! So that makes the compressor side a good monster though it becomes bigger than a GT3582R and closer to a T04R/Z compressor.

And the second kisscool effect is on the turbine side: the wheel is effectively some Ptrim whith 74mm inducer and 63mm exducer (same as T04R/Z), but my rough measurement of A/R on the T4 housing gave me 0.40!!!!!!! Totally retarded A/R on a RB26! I think I now understand the "HKS N°40" written on it.

Thinking about what it will look like when used, it should be a spooling monster but clearly a power and boost killer at high rev, with enormous backpressure and heat. Looking at the turbine entry, the T4 inlet becomes sooooo small inside regarding the amount of gas that are going to try to pass through it!!!!!!

So I think I'm going to try it at 1bar to see how it behaves, but I really must find an other bigger standard RHC7 housing for a more realistic use of this turbo.

Works 510, do you maybe know where I could find one?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
