If I read that correctly all the turbos listed for Nissans are garretts. That's what he is trying to avoid - although I wouldn't give up on the garrett line they make some quick spooling turbos. If you want something quick spooling, but not a lot of boost try something like a garrett T28/T30 with a ball bearing center. A friend of mine has that setup on his miata and he makes boost before 3000RPMs on a 1.8L motor. Of course he's switching to the T3/T4 to try and get 300HP at the wheels.

 

What i was tring to say is that there are diffrent ihi turbos to use.
vf is strictly subaru. most garret and mitsu turbos have the same flanges or lets say a universal flange. there are ihi turbos with the same flange as garrets. look at the chart agian and you will see that a vf is subaru vj is mazada vi is isuzu and so on there all the same turbos with the exception of the out side of the housing.

 

Understand what you are saying. I was just pointing out that it does not look like there is a IHI turbo specifically for his setup, rather that that chart lists only garrett choices for Nissans. No offense meant.

 

No offense taken. I just wish ihi had a better web site. I am still looking for a complete list of thier turbos and an app guide.

 

I would say you're probaly wasting your money trying to get an IHI. why not just go w/a garret or a company that makes a turbo for your car specifically? i mean from what it sounds like is you just want a fast spooling turbo. There HAVE to be fast spooling turbo's for your car. Also keep in mind, if it spools fast you're probally killing your top end and not going to be able to boost as much as a more laggy turbo, that's why some turbos are more laggy, because that's what you have to sacrifice for high out-put turbos.


sorry that i'm not much help, just trying to save your $$ in the end.

 

the IHI's are a direct bolt-up for the EJ20, so you'd have quite a bit of fabbing to do.

heres a pic of the exhaust side of a VF22, but its the same.
