February 13, 200521 yr i knew it was Heavy Industries, but not the first part. seems like everything is japan is "heavy industries" or "vehicle concern" how many turbo manufacturers are there? garrett ihi mitsubishi what else, other than the strictly aftermarket guys K K K and the like.
February 13, 200521 yr Well, I think I can answer that question. Yes some came with VF7s. I was lucky enough to have one. But I have plans to get the compressor housing bored and get a different compressor put into it by a company called Blaylock-Turbo. Here is what Jim Blaylock at Blaylock Turbo told me in refernce to my email: JIm Blaylock <sales@blaylock-turbo.com> wrote: Patrick we can bore out your compressor housing, put larger wheel in it and polish the housing for better air flow. We can lighten the turbine wheel for a little quicker spool up. Your cost is $400.00. This does not include basic rebuild. If you need everything rebuilt also before the upgrade the total cost is $795.00.

I found your company's website while I was doing a search and I was very interested in my find. Anyway, I was wondering if your company can do anything performance wise to an IHI RHB5 VF7 turbocharger? If so, please send me an email back with any information as soon as possible. Thank You very much for your time. Sincerely, Patrick Z. I know it would be cheaper to do a TD04 conversion, but before I try that, I figured I would see what could be done with the stock turbo to increase performance.
February 13, 200521 yr how many turbo manufacturers are there? garrett ihi mitsubishi what else, other than the strictly aftermarket guys K K K and the like. Well, let's see. There is: IHI, Garrett, Mitsubishi, Holset, Hitachi, KKK, Turbonetics, Schwitzer, Rayjay, Toyota, Rotamaster, Airesearch(Garrett subsidiary), Banks, Caterpillar(industrial turbochargers), Precision Turbo.......... These are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
