Need Help Identifying A Turbo

[dmr]

does anyone have any information on this turbo? it's clearly an IHI, but no idea of what it is capable of or what it's worth.

here's some pics:

looks like it would produce 1000 jigawatts.

Yes , IHI RHB52 as fitted standard to Subarus 1800 EA82 turbo found in L Series RX Turbos and turbo Vortex's .

The give away is the plain fronted comp cover with the two threaded bosses . The 90 deg elbow bolts on and seals with from memory a gasket . Also the mounting flange is longer to that hole out on its own but this aside same as single scroll EJ turbo flange wise .

They really are quite small and go back at least as far as 85 so hardly a modern design .

Cheers A .

yeah good for just about nothing

and looking in the exhaust side.... it looks well shagged.
