I need to know about this turbo. I know that it's a ball bearing stage III but thats about it. I have to know A/R ratios, wastegate type, and max horsepower rating.

thanks-BEN

I have no idea if thats the one. I thought that it would say T33 somewhere on their website but all it talks about is the RX8 IHI turbo. I dunno?

one of my friends has the RX8 turbo on his SR20 and it's freak huge. But I don't think it can out do a T3/T4 thats built right. In most of the *** mags I have seen the RX8 usally gets them a little over 400ps.

He isn't on the forum he is more of a show guy. http://www.jimotospecial.netfirms.com/images/Members/Steve/Cover_steve.jpghttp://a2.cpimg.com/image/2A/CF/12862762-0bf2-028001E0-.jpg

As far as a good turbo the new Garret turbo's are real good, Not sure but I think they have a better exhaust wheel thats not 100years old anymroe.

exhaust housing specs

compressor wheel specs

flange compatibility

what exh. manifold he uses

where to get that trick little "apex'i" turbo sheild that he has

inducer and exducer sizes on both wheels

and what kind of wastegate that is, internal or external?

Well the Exhaust housing I have no Idea what size it is since it's a IHI turbo, He dosent know either. It's a Apexi Equal lenth Manifold with Apexi External waste gate. He got all his stuff from XS and Apexi in Cali. I don't have his Email addy *** and even if I did he couldn't tell u anything but "it's Apexi stuff"

IHI doesn't just hand out turbo specs. Paranoid people missing out on sales... Yet another reason to love Garrett, HKS, and INCON.

well, I just learned that this turbo is also 2 years old. He is 100% positive that it's an Apex unit. He thinks that somewhere he read that it's a T33, but thats a Garett part #, and Apex only deals with IHI. I need some help! If I can get pictures or random numbers printed somewhere on the housing, I'll post them. Maybe you turbo gu-ru's can decipher it.

thanks-BEN
