Hello everyone, I own a L200S 1990 with the later EF-RL engine fitted. Its currently standard apart from a dual stage boost controller. I'm running 14psi but the little RHB31 turbo isnt liking it. I'm a member of http://keikarsinthepark.co.uk/index.php?action=forum

I' after some useful contacts and i really need a new turbo or hybrid turbo ASAP. There are NO tuners or tuning parts in the uk, so i hope some of you guys can help me out?

My username on the above link is GRUSS so check the garage out. Mines the little black 3 door one, very very rare in the UK!

maybe u can ask workshop over there to make a new adaptor flange and downpipe to fit subaru legacy vf series turbo..(legacy twin turbo...u can use the smaller one instead of the bigger one of the pair)...

pretty easy to find your place i guess....since scooby was all over the place in uk....

I've took the bumper off the car today and had a look at the turbo. Its a IHI RHF3 and uses a clamp to secure the compessor housing to the exhaust side. I recently won a RHB4 off ebay for 99p but that uses the Bolt method of securing the turbo together.

I've heard about the twin turbos off the legacy, seen as though they are a RHF family could i undo the clamp and remove the compressor with the 2 turbines and fit into my original RHF3 exhaust housing?

Which one do i need? The smaller of the 2? I'm going to email the seller and ask him to measure the outside diameter of the clamp holding the 2 housings together then i can measure mine, bit rough i know but at leats it will give me a idea.....

Does this sound like it can be done?

OK just had a chat on the phone with the seller about the turbo's The VF13 only has one actuator and looks slightly smaller. I asked him to measure roghly around where the clamp is on both turbo's

VF13 diameter around were the clamp sits is 8.5 inch/21.5cm approx
V14 diameter around were the clamp sits is 9.5 inch/23.5cm approx

I measured my rhf3 turbo and its appox 8.5inch

Both turbo's are oil and water cooled.

What do you think?

Hi
There are a few td04-09's but there about £500 plus i would need extra fueling and mangement etc to run it. What do you think to the RHF4 from the legacy?
