Turbo for 323 GT

Boosted · 27-03-2007, 06:10 PM

HI All,

My turbo on my 323 Gt decided to throw in the towel.

Can anybody please advise what would be the best turbo to fit without changing the exhaust manifold.

Please advise

is that a GTX engine ?

A hybrid made from the standard VJ20 exhaust housing and the core & compressor housing from a IHI VF10 / VF8 / VF12 is a good option.

It is a B6 motor i think

it is a 1600cc all wheel drive set up.

Has a IHI turbo on it.

We found this car here in South Africa by pure luck and don't have any info on it.

Would have a B6T engine. Its an IHI turbo on the BPT and B6T but it uses different flanges to the IHI turbos on Subarus (as there are a few nice option there).

It would be a VJ11, VJ12, VJ14 etc. You could fit a VF10 (from subaru liberty auto) front to the stock exhaust housing to make a hybrid.

I'd say you'll be a bit lost finding bits over there in good ol SA. Just get something else and custom mount it on.

PS: I'm from Durban
