will this turbo work on a b series?
Will a IHI RHB5 VJ11 work with a b16? i bought this turbo thinking it was a t3 (so did the guy) and its from a ford probe. its ball bearing im just not sure of the hp capability or if its too small of a turbo

rhb5 is entirely to small for a b16. my friend has one almost maxxed out on his 2 liter golf, and that motor flows less than your b16. the rhb5 will more than likely run out of power around 7k rpms, and anything over moderate boost. it is however a bad *** turbo on a car that fits it better.
bottom line, you can use it, but it will kinda be shitty on a b16.

to what he said. I have two of these turbos, one on my turbo mx6. There is no published flow ratings or charts for the turbo but It is generally agreed that the number falls somewhere between 190 and 280 cfm max flow. On the mx6 (2.2l) the turbo loses efficiency @ 5500rpms, and cant sustain more than around 15 psi of boost. I would definitely suggest a different turbo for a b16.

well that sucks a lot.... 
knowing that...
anyone want to buy it? lol
how much are they worth rcoolb2002 since you have two of them. the one i have is in perfect condition and has no shaft play at all.

I would advertise is on http://www.probetalk.com and http://www.mx6.com I think you could probably get $100 or so for just the turbo itself if its GREAT condition.

there are some maps and **** for the rhf5, which is the same as an rhb5, just newer. you just have to convert to cubic meters/second.
