thanks any help is appreciated.

the 13G


i have a IHI RHB5 on my wall and its a veyr tiny turbo

 

hah. mounted as decoration?

 

so everyone agrees the 13g is bigger?

 

the rhb5 is smaller. i had one and sold it...never used it. currently use the td04L.

 

gotcha. the reason i ask is someone had a nice lil package deal goin on with an rhb5.

hey scot do you know if the turbo-to-mani adapter plate would be the same between the two?

bmc makes an adapter plate for a "3 bolt suby turbo" but its not marked as being for the 13g.

LOL, i have a couple that hold up my Initial D and Best Motoring DVD's.

 

hahahahah thats friggin awesome!

 

just curious, what is that turbo on the left from? looks like an srt-4, given that flange cut into the compressor housing, for the bov right?

 

no, it is actually from a Volvo Wagon!

i pulled it off at an auto-graveyard (and just about ripped all of the flesh off of my right fist).

you cant see it in the picture but here is what is stamped on it if you are curious:

VOLVO
Type: TDO5 - 12B
Serial #: 716079
Part # : 1389645
MFG #: 49178-03000
14970 made in Japan

 

is that a blitz dd bov?

 

yes it is a blitz.

when i first bought my car it had a JR supercharger. this jackass who owned it for only 2 months really messed things up. and one of the idiotic things that he did was put a BOV on this ghetto-rigged intake that he made out of an exhaust pipe repair kit or something. yeah, so it was pretty useless.

so i just use it as a decoration, since i am going to get all new turbo components anyway...

 

hmmm, im guessing ricer? lol. do you have any use for it? *hint hint*, i might need one in the near future, (a month or two)

 

dude, if i was an ******* i would sell it to you. but the BOV doesn't function properly. i have all reciepts for my CRX and in my records it shows that he bought it off Ebay (GASP!!!) for like $40. it seems like it may be rusted out inside (adjusting it has no effect) and also one of the little bolts that attached it's other half was FROZE.

sorry man, i couldn't sell it to you. it isn't even operational.

 

oh, dammit. it does look kind akewl just sitting there, im gonna steal your idea for bookends, junkyard here i come!
