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?

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
